Rich Reading

Frank Rich has a good column in today's NYT on the problems facing the Republican'ts. I'm going to use that word, first, to signify that they can't get their hopes up about further distorting and destroying this country with their foul agenda. Second, as a reference to the replicants of PK Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," best known as the source for the great Sci-Fi classic, Bladerunner. The Republican't stance on many issues is so bizarre and extreme that I often wonder if they're authentic human beings. ***hyperbole alert***

In his column, entitled, "McCain Can Run, but Bush Won’t Hide," he goes a step further than I did in this post: "The G.O.P.’s best hope would be for both the president and Dick Cheney to lock themselves in a closet until the morning after Election Day."

Rich has a marvelous way of bringing together information, much of it new to me (as a news junkie, this is quite an accomplishment), with wonderfully insightful analysis, then adding his own dry-toned, straight-faced humor. His column appears on Sundays.
