The lights in the camera phone looked like fireflies mating.

Fox is the Weekly World News.

Bachmann is Bat Boy.

Sanford is just a sad sack POS who needs to go to work selling toasters.

SW: Great googly, Bachmann and Palin…(deep breath, count to ten…)
Well, at least SNL would be funny again for awhile…:)

I get what you’re saying about Dems stepping up as the more-moral party. It would be interesting, but I’m afraid that in no time some Democrat officeholder  would turn up with his/her own scandal. Then the left would just come off as hypocritical.

JM, “Mitt and the twit,” LOL. I like it. At one point, the thought of Palin and Bachman running in 2012 crossed my mind, but the prospect is just too mind boggling.

How can one listen to that and consider her anything but paranoid?  Shame, shame, shame on FOX for stooping so low as to give her such a large forum.  Surely they must only allow her such opportunities because they know it will get an extremist minority to become vocal and cause a stir. 

Maybe she’s afraid that the government will start rounding up conservative Christians or some such thing, and put them in camps…  heh…  It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the demographic she is angling toward with this commentary, that is, those who believe that is actually happening.  Just Google “concentration camps for Christians” to check out some really, really loony stuff.

As for Sanford, I hate to see anyone have family problems like he and his family are having now.  That’s the first thing I see when I look at him and Ensign and all the other GOP philanderers, is the sadness they create through their actions. 

But as for how it affects their party, here the GOP governors were supposed to be what will save the party.  Palin is generally viewed as a loose cannon who doesn’t know much about anything really, Bobby Jindal was disastrous in his response to Obama’s SOTU address, and now the conservative governor hero guy who said “I refuse to take any of Obama’s stimulus money” is a philanderer!  

It couldn’t happen to a nicer political party, anyway.  What’s coming up next?  Revelations that Eric Cantor is gay?  An extramarital affair for Mitch McConnell and/or Lindsey Graham, or even an affair between the two? 

I’m actually beginning to believe that Republicans who demand such close scrutiny of specific groups and/or who rail against certain groups do so in many cases to hide the fact that they engage in the very activities they profess to abhor.  For a long time I thought that was just an exaggeration used by the left, but in the last decade it really does seem like the GOP has the market cornered on having no moral values.

“Do as I say, not as I do” should be the new GOP motto.

The Dems ought to start a campaign promoting the left as the real bastion of “moral values”!  That would be fun to see.  

But about all the left has to do at this point is sit back and watch the GOP self-destruct.
