A house afire


Well, the other side finally has its shining city on a hill; five years of complete, limitless wingnut power, brightly blazing in a spectacular self-immolation.

Iraq. Katrina. Jack Abramoff. Medicare Part D. Randy Cunningham. $4 gas. Two trillion in deficits. No stem cell research. Four million lost manufacturing jobs. Coingate. Tom DeLay. Michael Scanlon. Sex for votes. Watergate. Porter Goss. WMDs. Dead or Alive. ANWR. Clear Skies, Healthy Forests. "Osama bin Laden determined to strike inside the United States". Oxycontin. "Uranium from Africa". Falafel. "Nobody imagined that the levees would break". Bob Ney. "Nobody imagined that terrorists would fly planes into buildings". Valerie Plame. 2,417 dead, 17,469 wounded. Scooter Libby. 9/11. The Patriot Act. Shirlington Limo service.

Wingnuttery is collapsing under the weight of its own failures. The house that Bush built is in flames. Let's give them some gasoline; at $3.50 a gallon, of course.
