Republicans are crazy!

But not in the way I usually mean. I really think they are starting to crack. Witness the reckless veering "off message" in recent weeks:

1) Cheney personally departing from Bush's position on gay marriage. First of all, when I heard this two days ago, I realized it was the longest set of words I had ever heard Cheney string together. Second of all, WHAT? I had always assumed that Cheney took the "I have no daughter" stance when it came to her being a lezzie and all. AMAZING.

2) Bush's admittance of a "miscalculation" last week. I hardly even know what to say. The man is totally comprimising everything his sad little platform rests on.

3) I watch the "Today Show" and when Bush said that we can't win the war on terror, I plotzed. My buddy Bill asked me what Lauer said in reply, and I said I don't remember because I was lying on my living room floor with my eyes rolling back in my head.

I have waited for four years for Bush to say something I agree with. The whole thing was just as I would say it! But his people must have been tearing their hair out. If that moment was the kind of president that Bush really is, I would feel a lot different about him.

What made the whole thing better, worse, more weird and ironic, was the ridiculous Kerry windsurfing footage the next day. Some reporter hopped out into the waves and asked Kerry whether we could win the war on terror. "Absolutely!" he cried. Jesus Christ. I really and truly do not know WHAT is going on anymore.
