I can envision the GOP with its tongue hanging out, gasping its last miserable breath, while the new “Conversatives”, the Democrats, find themselves fighting for their lives from the Barbarian Horde Leftist onslaught.

Mark my words . . you heard it here first . . . might not happen by next year, and I’m willing to be entirely wrong – and of course predictions are never all that – but, frankly, I’ve been so damm right so often recently . . .

Shorter Rahm: Leave the my Blue Dogs ALOOOOOOONEE!!!

Rahm worked very hard to get those assholes elected, sometimes going so far as to get a Republican to cross party lines to primary a liberal.

Also, I’d like to quote you:

The idea that Rahm had gone rogue […] is ludicrous. Rahm doesn’t go off the reservation — Rahm is the reservation.

Emphasis added.

I.e., nobody should harbor any illusions that this is happening without Obama’s approval.

But seriously, folks: Obama death panels?

I’ve been writing about “town hells” and anti-health care reform hysterics, as well as the crazy Birthers, for a few weeks. Every few days, I think: Maybe we’re giving these fringe folks the oxygen they need; maybe we should ignore them. But it all got even loonier today, and it can’t be ignored.
