Work was good and the gym was very good too.

But I can't be bothered writing about that. I can't even be bothered to write about packing for SELF or how excited I am about to see Nick and Kathleen again. Instead I must talk about Republicans.

Never in my life have I seen such a bunch of has beens and people out of touch as I have seen these days as the GOP scrambles to gain some ground. Let's face it, they are out of touch and quite frankly they are pretty stupid. Never have I been so proud to be a Democrat American.

For example, only the Republican party would allow their two biggest spokesman to be people that are not even elected. Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh! I don't get it. Maybe the people that should speak for the party are people that were at least elected. Or is the party so short on their elected officials that they have nothing better to do than bring out old school has beens who have spent more time creating hate rather than anything positive. Newt actually had the nerve to say in a speech that Obama is terrible because he said that he's a proud American and proud citizen of the world. I guess Newt didn't bother to look up that his hero Ronald Regan in 1982 said in a speech that he (Reagan) was a citizen of the world.

Than there's Steele, the Rep. Of the GOP. Check out these golden snippet.

Appearing on MSNBC in April, RNC Chairman Michael Steele unveiled a strange metaphor to highlight his view of Republican Party regional inclusiveness. Steele asked Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan to pretend they were all wearing hats that said “GOP” and for the purposes of the demonstration, they all hailed from different parts of the country. Steele then explained:

STEELE: In the Midwest, you guys like to wear it a little bit to the right. In the South, you guys wear the brim straight ahead. Now the Northeast, I wear my hat backwards, you know, ’cause that’s how we roll in the Northeast.

At the College Republican annual conference this past weekend, Steele again deployed the same exercise to teach students about embracing Republicans, regardless of “how they wear their hat.” Steele asked four College Republicans to stand up and simulate wearing a hat “that very boldly says GOP.” After lecturing on how each imaginary hat would could be worn differently, Steele proclaimed, “The problem we had is that too many of our friends, neighbors, colleagues, family members, are taking the hat off because we have decided we don’t like the way they wear it.” While the bewildered students stood in front of the crowd obediently for nearly ten minutes, Steele eventually concluded:

STEELE: Let me ask you, what do they have in common? They’re all wearing the same hat. […] The difference is, Barack Obama has asked your generation to wear his hat, his hat — the hat of one man. I’m asking you to go out and ask your friends to wear our hat -– the hat of an idea.

Oh my god how stupid can it get. Please look up this speech. It's so funny yet sad.

Here'e some more Steele headlines.

I can only hope that The GOP goes the way of the Whig Party. You know the Whigs, the party that Lincoln left behind so he could do some good!

Thank goodness that the GOP is not in charge. No more cowboy politics and a lot less hate!
