Over at Tiger Beat On The Potomac, there's a real buyer's market for the Brooklyn Bridge, Florida swampland, knockoff Rolexes, and large bags of magic beans. The two presiding geniuses there today have chipped in with a Behind The Curtain feature about how you know that the Republican party is remaking itself anew because Dick Morris and Sarah Palin lost their gigs at Fox News, and because..."BOBBY" JINDAL! EEEEEKKK!!!!

(Behind The Curtain is a regular feature of TBOTP. It is marked by the tendency of the two authors to print almost anything so long as it is said a) by a Republican operative, and b) anonymously. It is very much like a puppet show, except considerably less cerebral.)

... (a bunch of examples of what Politico publishes)

Yeah, things certainly have changed over there. And doesn't the fact that Fox has walked in lockstep with the rebranding con that the Republicans are trying to pull generally pretty much prove that it's basically still a propaganda vehicle? Aggressive! Shrewd!
Look, kidz. You're being played. There is no sign of moderation in Republican politics. The obstruction goes merrily on in Washington. It's just targeted better. In the states, the wild things are still at play, as we shall see in a later post. The problem isn't the way people talk about the policies. It's about the policies. People would have come to the same conclusion they came to about Willard Romney if the 47 percent tape never had surfaced. The Republican party is still radically anti-choice. It's just going to be more careful how it tosses around the word, "rape." "Bobby" Jindal is as much an extremist as Todd Akin ever was. The fact that he returns your calls is irrelevant. Jesus, fellas, look around.
