The Parade of Losers

The cognitive dissonance level in the GOP has always been ridiculously high. Anyone subjected to five minutes of the "FoxNews (b)All-Stars" could tell you that. Forced to watch some of this tripe over the last week, I noticed it is a little like watching three people proclaim the moon landing was faked and the fourth person, who knows better, being clubbed into submission.

I would imagine that reading the last five years worth of transcripts of the FoxNews All-Stars is riddled with the unintentional hilarity usually found, when I was a younger person, in reviewing old issues of the National Enquirer's annual list of "Predictions from Top Psychics" (my favorite, in 1977 or so, it was predicted that "Bonnie Franklin (of TV's 'One Day at a Time') would leave show business and become an Israeli Army Tank Commander.

And now, the depressing wackiness of FoxNews has transferred itself into the realm of the GOP picking themselves a President.

You have the "Dog Torturer" William M. Romney, famous for flip-flops, and loving Guantanamo so much he'll make it twice a big (no mean feat in a limited space).

You have John McCain, now so popular that anti-war, but otherwise solid nutjob, Ron Paul has more money on hand.

You have Rudy Giuliani, who is starting to make Dick Nixon look cuddly. Good thing, they've decided to battle Romney's animal cruelty bona fides by bringing Judy "Cruella de Ville" Nathan back on the campaign.

And now you have, Fred "Hee Haw" Thompson, who will do anything for a buck, including lobbying to keep abortion safe and legal. Which is fine in a rational world, but we're talking the GOP primary race here.

Yeah, good luck with those guys.
