That Pig Is Not Palin, It's The GOP. Let's go to the archives!

All this talk of lipstick and pigs takes me back:

"Weapons of mass destruction-related program activities."

That's what we went to war over, according to Bush's most recent State of the Union address. Weapons of mass destruction-related program activities.

At least, that's the story this year.

I know they knew the risks when they signed up; but still, I have to pity Bush's speechwriters. Any of them who retain even the smallest vestige of what must have at some point been a love of the written word and an allegiance to the basic principles of logical argument must feel exquisite pain when they sit down at the big conference table and look wearily up at the giant, hairy, snorting pig standing on top of it.

That column was about Bush's 2004 SOTU speech. Every single one of Bush's SOTU speeches was the same thing--lipstick on an increasingly large and unsightly pig. In fact that's really been Bush's whole approach to dealing with the many crises he's unleashed--get that pig to makeup, STAT!

Ah, good times, good times...

No, wait, they weren't. They were awful times. I hated them. I hated that pig. Everyone hated that pig. And now the pig that is the new GOP is back, bigger and meaner than ever, and we're supposed to play nice with it? I think not.
