BREAKING NEWS! MARKOS MOULITSAS OUTED AS SECRET LOVE CHILD OF WESTBORO BAPTIST FRED PHELPS! A THREE BEERS LATER EXCLUSIVE!

"I know I've never spoken much about my darlin' little beard boy in the past," said the deeply closeted "preacher" and former Democratic campaign manager, "but the Lord has inspired me to say that I have never been prouder of God's little blessing of mine before..."

"I mean, honestly, using the death of innocents and the suffering of the bereaved to call attention to a completely unrelated issue and slur your opponents, well, seriously, that's what this family is all about."

Phelps went on to welcome Kos to the Westboro congregations, saying, "We need another good castrata for the choir..."

Nutroots Convention Marked by Anger, Betrayal, Confusion and Pig-Iggerence...

 All is Not Well.  The triumphalism of January 2009 has been replaced by bitterness and incomprehension.

Short form:  Republicans get in trouble when they DON'T do what they promised.  Democrats get in trouble when they DO.

Luckily for us,  they haven't figured that out yet, and they've spent the last two years making mistakes they can't take back or cover up.  Seriously, do they really think they can push an "economic recovery" when everybody in the country knows one -- or a lot -- of people who still can't find work, when everybody can look up and down the street and see the vacant storefronts, the for-sale signs on the bank-owned homes, when more and more of them can't even choose to get private healthcare because the companies aren't sure they can afford to provide it to their employees or sell it to them privately?  Do they think they can still yell 'racism' when the people they're defending are screaming about cutting our babies' throats?

They got everything they wanted and they're choking on it.  But like a snake all they can think to do is keep swallowing.
