David Shuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, leads a discussion about the Republican party, which is crumbling under the hypocrisy of their latest two great hopes for 2012. He is joined by strategists from both parties, who comment
on recent actions and suggested ways to save the party if possible. The GOP ethics chairman has asked Sanford to step down, as have others who are talking to him behind the scenes. They still live in an enchanted land where they believe his future depends upon his relationship with his wife. I believe he put that dream to rest with his announcement that he still loves his mistress.He did give lip service to “doing the right thing” with all of the enthusiasm of a two-year-old confronted by boiled cabbage.
When it was revealed in Vanity Fair that top McCain aides had concerns ranging from post partum depression, a severe personality disorder, willful ignorance and refusal to become informed, among other things that we’re assured make this the very tip of the problems, Palin chose to fight back. That is why I saw her lacing on her running shoes this morning and challenging the President to a race! I suspect she wishes to select the trail, far out in the Alaskan wilderness, and am glad he is much too busy for such foolishness. She claims her problems on the
campaign trail came down to one thing only….”Sweat” as she told Runner’s Weekly, and no other publication! “It’s my sanity, and the McCain crew refused to carve out time for my runs.” Well, that explains her wacky behavior, now if we can come up with an equally lame one for Sanford’s hypocrisy – the Republicans are still screwed, but what a show!
