Bailout Backlash
Limbaugh has been blaming 2006 on “macaca” and Mark Foley, but he’s overlooking the contribution of such things as the Abramoff brouhaha (which was somehow “a Republican scandal” despite more Democrats being implicated than Republicans; sound familiar?) and the attempt by the Bush Administration to foist amnesty-by-any-other-name on an unreceptive nation.
In 2008, the Stupid Party has once again shot itself in the foot with this bailout bill.
If Republicans manage somehow not to be annihilated on Election Day, it will be only by the grace of a forgiving God.
