Political seppuku of the day

The Republican Party (and attendant media sphere), emboldened by their "successes" against ACORN have decided to move on to the next shadowy, little-known special interest lobby and investigate the hell out of them for daring to espouse positions contrary to Republican orthodoxy.

The organization? The AARP.

Have they not figured out seniors support Republicans more than any other group? And now they want to antagonize them?

Leading the charge, it seems, is Dave Reichert, local retiree-in-place-posing-as-a-Congressperson. So now we can't say he doesn't do anything -- he persecutes seniors for disagreeing with him, pisses off his base, and is actively working for the destruction of his party.

Way to go, Dave. I guess when Frank Atchley, your former supervisor in the King County Sheriff's office, said you, "actually was more of an impediment to the investigation (of the Green River killer)," he knew what he was talking about.

"He was probably the worst detective I've ever worked with," Atchley went on to say. "He developed tunnel vision."

Good to see things haven't changed.
