naive quote of the week

From Scott McClellan, concerning Justice O'Connor's retirement:

I can't imagine that the Democrats would want to engage in controversial tactics when it comes to a nominee for the Supreme Court.

Naw, me neither, Scott. After all, when have those Dems ever used controversial tactics on key issues? Gee, I can't think of any. They're just too...honest.

Yeah. And I'm from Pluto. We all know the Democraps will pull out every controversial tactic in the book and invent a few more if Bush taps a conservative. Seems that this was just a warning shot from the White House trying to get Dems to play nice and act dignified for a while, but it's a waste of time. And trying to somehow set them up to look bad won't have much effect either. After all, this is the party led by Kerry, Dean, Pelosi, and Kennedy, to name a few. They wouldn't know dignity if it bit them in the face. And their answer to losing voters has been to get even more nasty and more liberal. So forget trying to bring them around. Time for Dubya to just put his dwindling stash of political capital to work and nominate one of those controversial (i.e., good) types. Let's get it on already.
