Feeling Republican

So I guess I'm feeling a little Republican these days.  First, poor old Rick Waggoner of GM losing his job because he couldn't get restructuring right on his salary of $1.00 a year.   Wonder if that mean old socialist Democrat, President Obama, would have insisted on sacking him if he took a few million in bonus payments....?????

But really, there are good things about the Republicans.  I mean, their first president was a master politician, especially beating out senators and governors for that first presidential nomination when he couldn't even beat a two-faced Democratic senator from Illinois for the senate seat.  Yep, an old rail-splitter became the nominee in 1860 and came from nowhere to win the presidency.  I'm reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's excellent book, Team of Rivals.  It hearkens back to the founding of the Republican Party.  They were pretty smart men---watching the Michael Steele follies leaves me aghast!!!  And did you see McCain throw Sarah under the bus??  She would have been a heartbeat away if he'd won and now he needs to see who'll be competing..........

But the best part about my new found republicanism is (are you ready for this?????)-----

totally enjoying Stephen Colbert's Ameri-cone Dream ice cream from Ben & Jerry's.  I wonder if Obama Wham-a will be forthcoming, or maybe Jon Stewart's Cramer-Creamed Hash???
