Snuffleupagous, eight Big Birds and a Congressman from Texas

August 5th, 2007 by Steve

I really enjoyed Ana Marie’s wrap-up of the GOP debate this morning.  Here’s a sample of the wonkettish Time.com editor’s entry titled Girding Loins in Des Moines:

8:07 AM Smattering of applause for Rudy saying that abortion should be a choice between “a woman and her conscience and, ultimately, her doctor.” Huh. Tommy Thompson now saying no pro-lifer could win the nom… His argument would be more forceful if he himself did not seem like a vaguely animated corpse.

8:09 AM McCain just connected “the rights of the unborn” to “national security.” He is broadcasting live from “crazy baseland.” He is also less than lively.

8:11 AM Faux YouTube q allows Paul to proclaim his strategy in Iraq. “Come home.” Some applause, some boos, Paul thundering. “This war is not going well,” he says, and I’m struck by how the most anti-war candidate on the GOP side is still a sunny optimist (or at least wildly subdued) compared to the angry declamations of the Ds yesterday.

8:13 AM Duncan Hunter is made that Democrats did not bother to thank Marines.

8:14 AM Huckabee continues to sound like someone who has a chance. Points out that “every time you go to the gas pump, you make the Saudi royal family a little richer.” Channeling Bill Maher!

I thought nobody would be able to top her, until I ran into  Bobblespeak.  Here’s a clip:

Stephanopoulos: yeah but maybe Rudy would be more electable because of his anti-baby stance

McCain: abortion is directly related to national security

Stephanopoulos: how so, crazy-man?

McCain: how can we lecture the Congo on freedom while women in America have the right to control their own bodies?

Stephanopoulos: anything else?

McCain: yes terror is hydra headed we will never be safe but unlike Romney i need no on the job training

Paul: just march out of there, we’re losing the war, it was illegal, we didn’t declare war, and we should just get the hell out of there

[applause, booing]

Paul: it’s in our fucking national interest plus bush is a mental defective

Hunter: i stood up the Soviet Union when the liberals wanted to give in i’m sick and tired of the surrender monkeys on the other side –i love war!

[huge applause]

If there are to be eight morons in the GOP debate, at least these two websites showed how ridiculous the Republican Party can be.
