PUHLEEEEZ!!

After eight years of an exceedingly partisan WH, republicans have no credibility whatsoever in throwing partisan stones at Obama's selection of Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff.

The Republican Party is already a joke and in not recognizing how ridiculous they look assures they'll continue their nosedive into insignificance. Having already rewritten the record book for screwups they insist upon making sure their record will forever remain unbroken.

This is the headline from The Hill

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) declared Tuesday night that the GOP is facing a tougher political environment than it did during the so-called Watergate Election of 1974, when Democrats scored major gains in Congress.

I don't agree with the assessment of Senator Ensign. He has postulated all manner of reasons for why republican losses were as dramatic as they were.

I think it has everything to do with the fact that republicans had chosen time and again to defend their indefensible choices and to continue to support members of their party who quite obviously transgressed eiher the law or ethical conduct or both.

They left voters with little choice except to hold republicans accountable where republicans themselves failed to do so.
