Megan McCain, The Republicans' Last Hope
Stan Grimes
May 20, 2009
Way back when (oh boy, here it comes) I was youngster I took my girlfriend to the county fair. I had twenty bucks to spend and that was it. I actually thought this was going to be my lucky night, but thatīs a different story all together.
I bought my lovely date a soda and some popcorn. In the background I heard this voice and thought the guy was talking to me, he was. He motioned me over and proceeded to confuse the heck out of me. Explaining the card game, he invited me to play, double or nothing. Well, I had about eighteen bucks left. Guess what I lost every penny I had and my ex-girlfriend was not happy. She wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. Oops!
Since that time, hmm, Iīd say about fifty years ago, Iīve been called an "easy mark" Apparently, I still am because I fell for the Republicansī recent Nancy Pelosi smoke screen. Dang, I hate it when that happens.
You see, if you listen superficially to the Republican outrage regarding the Speaker of the House, you would believe Mrs. Pelosi was complicit to a Dick Cheney created crime, but whoa there horsy. Just how relevant to the Bush eraīs treasonous behavior is Nancy Pelosi? Even if she were absolutely telling a whopper, it wouldnīt matter. She didnīt commit the crime. Man, how easy it is to get caught up in the bobbing and weaving of the Republican fancy web machine.
If Republicans had read Leon Panettiīs entire memo on the subject, they would have noticed that the Director of the CIA was giving a little leeway for CIA misinformation. But, our right wing friends like to cherry pick. I wonder with my small frail mind if anyone has noticed or did notice that the CIA apparently told President Bush et al that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction? That wasnīt misinformation was it? Wait a second while I release this steam valve.
It is becoming quite apparent to me that the party of "no" is quickly becoming the party of "nothing." At their current rate of popular decline I would say that Republicans would not see the halls of Congress as a majority for thirty years. That certainly wonīt hurt my feelings. My guess is that Megan McCain will be president in 2050. She is their last hope. Actually, she may be the last Republican with a fully formed brain.
