While GOP Lite Dithers, the Queen, Like an Asp, Lays in Wait
News item from CNN, “Republicans Kick Off Campaign to Shine Party Image,” Rebecca Sinderbrand, May 2, 2009:
“Three prominent GOP leaders [Jeb "Not Another" Bush, Eric "The Turd Polisher" Cantor and Mitt "Yawn on Steroids" Romney] kicked off a campaign Saturday to reshape their party’s image ["Message: we're new and we care!"], gathering at a restaurant [the Pie-Tanza, a strip-mall pizza place] in northern Virginia for the first of a series of town hall meetings.
“The goal of the initiative, called the National Council for a New America [a Wonder-bread yuppie version of PNAC], is to connect Republican leaders with voters across the country to help get the party’s electoral fortunes back on track [by imitating Hillary Clinton's listening tours and Barack Obama's town hall meetings].”
“Is this just an event put together to look soft-focus and smiley for the national media? After all, they are holding it just right outside of DC and not in the heartland of America where they SAY these meetings will be focused.
“All signs are currently pointing to just another photo op in place of actual policy initiative and new ideas.”
