The Republicans are gearing up to "re-brand" themselves as the "Standing-At-The-Back-Dressed-Stupidly-And-Looking-Stupid Party."
Intriguingly, Michael Steele has said if the GOP officially declares that from now they will call the Democratic Party the "Democrat Socialist Party," this "will accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans."
Of course, it wouldn't mischaracterize anything -- it would quite correctly characterize Republicans as a rump party of crazy assholes -- but this is still a lot saner than anything the, well, crazy assholes are saying. And for this the wingnut conservative Republican faithful despise him. That he's crazy they can live with, but it bugs the hell out of them that he's not a crazy asshole. What else you would need or want to know about the GOP right about now, I couldn't imagine.
Maybe after they fire Steele they can get Ivor "jest-ye-not-madam" Biggun, though he would clearly have to come up with a much more crazy-assholish policy platform than "the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast, free corsets for the under-fives, and the abolition of slavery." (2:48 in)
