Lying, Crooked--and Sanctimonious Bitches

Mary over at Naked Furniture points out that Rethuglicans aren't merely white whine: they're white whine in a box.

For the record, I watched the replay on C-Span last night of both Kerry's press conference and the Republican House Leadership. The contrast was amazing. The Democarats at least appeared to look like normal humans, while the Republicans looked like a combination of inbreeds (Frist, DeLay, and what's his name, a backbencher from Georgia), thugs (Hastert), thugs with a Napoleon complex (Stevens), and Geeks in the literal definition of the term (Santorum). One thing I found kind of funny was that the guy from C-Span kept holding the camera at an angle, giving it the appearence of a sting operation, with the House leadership playing the role of the mafia.

Of course, in reality, they're classic bullies--full of bluster and vim, but ready to run off like little crybabies when someone stands up to them.
