The Fun Stops Soon

Just over 24 hours left in the Wilson-Pearce knife fight. I’m gonna miss seeing Republicans subject each other to the treatment they normally reserve for Democrats. I’ll miss the hearty laugh I got from Pearce calling Wilson a liberal. (Snort.) I won’t miss Pearce’s arrogance in implying New Mexican “values” are solely conservative. Fuck you, Steve — I’m as New Mexican as you are. Heather’s shrewd, Rovian triangulation of “common-sense conservative” isn’t going to save her (calling him a right-winger cost her more votes), but she will be right about Pearce being unelectable. Good riddance to both of them.

I laughed as well at little Scotty Darnell’s claim that, unlike Democrats, Pearce and Wilson have had a good, clean, honorable disagreement. That kind of self-delusion — or lying — should get him a job at BushCo. Not that he’s so stupid as to take it. (I wouldn’t insult the tyke that much.)

In the fall, don’t forget Darren White’s impersonation of Claude Raines in Casablanca, pocketing Duhbya’s filthy lucre while saying he doesn’t recognize the man. (Part Peter, part Judas.) You can only distance yourself so far from someone whose pockets you have your hands in or whose arse your lips are glued to. That goes for McCain, too. peace, mjh
