I’ve been trying to restrain myself…

There’s something very odd about a crowd of people rabidly cheering someone telling them that their party sucks, isn’t there? When the parade of speakers at the Republican convention keeps harping on the “Washington crowd” and the awful, corrupt government that John McCain and Sarah Palin need to go down and clean up, is there no one with half a brain around to stop and say, “Um, haven’t you guys been in charge of the government for like, say, 8 years?”

McCain: “Let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do nothing, me first, country second Washington crowd: change is coming.”

Crowd: “Yeah! Go get us! We suck!”

Palin: “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

Crowd: “Woo! Down with helping in the community!!”

Palin: “I told the Congress ‘thanks, but no thanks,’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.”

Crowd: “Yes!! What were Republican Senators thinking??”

If only there were a candidate who would put the country above politics. Someone who wouldn’t make choices based on what he needs to get elected versus what makes sense for the country.

What do you think, Karl Rove?
