It's really too bad there aren't going to be any more Republican presidents. They can lay their presidential aspirations aside. There will never again be a Republican in the White House. The GOP has committed an unlikely suicide. By embracing the radical Tea Party, Republicans have sacrificed their party to extremism and their future to an obscurity that few would have predicted just twenty years ago. And that is a shame for several reasons. But my favorite is this. It would have been fun to reverse the roles, turn the tables and tear their guy limb from limb.
It would have been great fun to parody today's Republican monkey shines over Obama with similar rumors, trumped up controversies and scandals, unfounded criticisms, and racist extremism satirically directed toward whatever GOP airhead who managed to get elected to the office. We could promptly ignore all of the truly negative aspects of the administration and concentrate solely on all of the spin, exaggerations, and lies that we could muster.
But you know what? It might not be all that much fun after all. Because in all likelihood none of them would get the joke, anyway.
