I think I said this last week:

Dick Cheney is 68, white and bitter. He is the Republican Party today.

The Republican Party has no serious wing other than the Cheney wing. The moderate wing of the Republican Party is distinguished by the fact that it does not exist, and yet it is still shrinking.

Arlen Specter, senator from Pennsylvania, recently left the Republicans for the Democrats, and Jon Huntsman, the Republican governor of Utah, is joining the Obama administration as its ambassador to China.

The wingers are bitter - well, they’ve always been bitter - but now they are also isolated to an extent they never were before. The political contagion has been contained.

And so long as the guys who send me the PELOSI KNEW!!! e-mails keep venerating him - the noose gets tighter.
