What is it with the liberal obsession with Republicans?
Saturday Night Live opened the other night with a
lame, utterly unfunny
parody of congressional Republicans talking up their
opposition to Obama and the stimulus bill. (You can actually hear
nobody laughing!)
Now in a seemingly more serious vein we see E.J. Dionne in hero
worship mode as he accompanies the president to Chicago aboard
Air Force One. Already in the second sentence
of his
writeup we get this:
"He … is not bitter about how little help he is getting
from Republicans. But he will never again let bipartisanship
become the defining test of his success." (Translated: You had
your chance, pigs, but you blew it.)
Then, after Dionne spells out the glories of Obama's vision
(he loves Sweden), there's a return to that favorite subject:
"And where might Republicans fit into all this? Obama still
thinks he'll win their support someday on some issues.…"
What is it with these people? Do they need counseling? Has
defeating the Republicans left them lonely? Can they not give up
the fights of the last eight -- or is it 14, or make it 28 --
years?
Get used to it, guys. You won, however bitter the
aftertaste.
