It seems to me that the Bull Moose Republicans got a bit of a bloody nose in November 2008 when a black man whose middle name just happens to be Hussein proved that, despite its many claims to the contrary, the United States of America is a democracy.
They haven't got over the shock.
First of all we were all entertained to Sexless Sarah and her pregnant teenage daughter, despite whom mom is prepared to join the "Christian" bandwagon along with Shelley Shannon and other examples of love and human compassion. As her sidekick, Ol' Mista McCabe didn't quite make it, but the American dream wasn't left high and dry - we had entertainment from Huckleberry Hound for a little while, and if you cared to listen to the crap on The 700 Club you could aye get President Robertson (goodbye Jack Daniels, hello Jesus!) telling us that if you rebelled against the First Empire you were diabolical.
But what's this? Chicago AIN'T my kind of town - at least, not if you're Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Holy Hannity or any of the other jerks on Pox News. Because - from waydown in the badlands of South Chicago - OBAMA HAS COME!
They tried to blacken his name, Horowitz and Co.. But they didn't succeed.
So along comes a capitalist, straight out of the Friedman-Hayek Academy of No-Use Economists (full marx, Commie Christian!), whose literate antecedents had a penchant for pickled onions. Realising, in his subtle, economic mind, that oil made more money than what was left on the side of the plate, St. Anthony decided to set fire to the Gulf of Mexico, thereby depriving whole communities in the South of a decent livelihood. But that's life.
And when President Obama does what he can for his people, he's everything that's bad. Not only that, but the race card is thrown in. And to crown it all, our friends in the Republican Party try to use the whole issue as a political football.
Because they lost the election, perhaps?
