28. The GOP is pressuring the "big guns" now
There was a time when people gave a shit when Bettin' Bennett or Grinch Gingrich spoke. These two were "movers and shakers" trying to sell old-fashioned morality to the masses.

Too bad magazine articles and other bad press about blowjobs in cars and gambling addiction took away their claim to any "godly" character. People are stupid, but they're not THAT stupid.

Still, this administration lives in yesterday, when they thought they had a mandate to destroy everything they couldn't steal. So now it seems they're calling out yesterday's Big Boys, threatening them with exposure if they don't get out there and do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to help their Little Bro BushieBunnypants.

Why else would these self-centered, corpulent whackjobs appear on TV? They know they should be laying low right now, while Bush is "below freezing" (as a local mountain man put it to me this week, grinning widely).

They know with Americans at the boiling point they are at great risk of being associated with the administration Americans most distrust and fear. This is not a good personal move for either man, and these are men who do nothing if not for themselves.

But the NSA program has some wonderful evidence of Bill and Newt's Excellent Adventures, no doubt, so drink up Newty! Dust off your pious Fascism, Billy Boy! Get out there and help the Prince Chimp! After all, his Daddy helped you!!!!!

It's not gonna work, but it sure is predictable as hell.
