republican viewpoint

Last night, I was listening to the strongly Republican-slanted liberal media, a local station (normally it’s satellite, but not my car) and heard the following snippets…loosely quoted, but pretty close to what was said.

Shawn Steele (CA Republican party chair): speaking of the democrat presidential hopefuls, how they’re a bunch of nobody’s who will embarass the democratic party. In the next sentence, regarding the recall of Gray Davis, and how he’s not sure what they’re going to do now that [arnold] Schwarzenegger has [likely] withdrawn.

I found this staggeringly hilarious. I can envision him bowing out of the race (is that what you call this thing…it’s more like jackals stalking prey)…”and while I will continue to be the brawn of the Grand Ole Party, I will not pursue the role of the brains this time around. Thank you for your support, and I tell you this in all seriousness….I’ll be back.” But the really funny part was the juxtaposition of his statements, and how serious he was that an action star is a much greater candidate than Dean or Kucinich. Without my seatbelt I may have fallen out of my seat.
