Newton Leroy Gingrich decided that the GOP should be the "party of yes." What a novel idea! Why, it's positively Spoonful of Sugary! One might surmise that Republican voters would lap that right up, it's so sunshiny and positive!

One might even go so far as to imagine party leaders would embrace such a pleasant about-face from all that nastiness and No-itude.

Think about it. Those poor Rushpublics! It must be an awful burden, all that dragging around, looking all frowny, staining their vocal chords screaming "You lie!", "Baby killer!", "Reload!", and "Hell no!" at the top of their lungs.

"Yes" is such a happy word. "Yes" brings to mind all good things. "Yes" is as feel-goody as it gets. Who could refuse an opportunity to associate with such a life-affirming word? A word filled with promise and opportunity? A word that would be good for America!?

Ba-Ba-Ba-Bobby Jindal:

“Let’s be clear: A bad idea is a bad idea, and shame on us for being afraid to say so,” Jindal said. He added that, when it comes to bad ideas, “We shouldn’t just be the 'party of no,' we should be the 'party of "hell no." ' ”

NaySay McThumbsDown:

“There is no shame in being the 'party of no' if the other side proposes something that violates our Constitution and conscience,” she said.

Newt: Republicans "becoming the Party of Yes"

By GottaLaff

I'm watching a clip of Shrilly McMakeAFortune right now, draped in strand after tasteless strand of pearls, proudly bellowing her pride over the Rushpublics being labeled the Party of H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.

I'm not sure why Shrilly sometimes feels it necessary to spell that word out after she shouted "hell" at the top of her screechy lungs only days before at a McCain rally.

Apparently, Newtie disagrees with her enthusiastic support of using Not Child Friendly words to describe his party:

According to a statement, Newt Gingrich will give a speech tonight before the Southern Republican Leadership Conference titled, "Becoming the Party of Yes."

Said Gingrich: "To win in 2010 and 2012, it's not enough to say no to the radical agenda of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. Tonight's speech will explain why real leadership requires Republicans to offer a compelling vision of safety, prosperity, and freedom that stands in vivid contrast to Obama's secular, socialist, machine now running Washington."

What, this doesn't work for the GOP any more?




Happily, calling us socialists is still at the top of the List-O'-Talking Points. What a relief! I'd miss that the way Newton Leroy misses being 1995 Person of the Year.

So remember and never forget: The Party of Hell No, that fine bunch of obstructionists, will hereby be known as the Party of ...


Okay, no they won't, but Newton Leroy thinks he can make it happen.

Fineman: Kucinich will vote for health care bill

By GottaLaff

Just now on Countdown, Howard Fineman reported that he has heard that Dennis Kucinich will support the health care reform bill. He will be making that announcement tomorrow.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who's on the record saying he'll vote "no" on a health care bill without a public option, will announce his vote tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, EST.

Why would he make a big announcement if it is a rerun of his "no" position? He wouldn't. That would be redundant, and we all know politicians are never redundant.

Oh, but I kid the politicians.

Freshman Rep. Grayson: "Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict."

By GottaLaff

Oh god. Yes. Yes! YES!

DownWithTyranny reports that freshman Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, a congressman from the Orlando area, castigated his home state foe — Rush Limbaugh — for his unpatriotic remarks about Barack Obama:

“Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we’d all need pain killers.”

I'll have what he's having.
