I know, I know.  That's crazy talk.  Bigfoot talk.   Or a bedtime story for very small children who still believe in Santa Claus and The New York Times.  But it's true I tellz ya!  I was there! I saw it on my teevee, in living color.    

As you contemplate the following screen-shots, bear in mind that Nixon's Southern Strategy, Reagan's "Welfare Queen" ideology, Limbaugh's "Feminazis, Libtards and Barack the Magic Negro" vocabulary and Gingrich's slash-burn-and-relentlessly-demonize politics are the filthy, racist waters that spawned Mr. Rick Wilson.

And that, until five minutes ago, profiting handsomely by further toxifying those filthy, racist waters has been his life's work.

But now...

Since almost no one be me cares about any of this, I have learned to content myself by being grimly entertained by listening to Wilson continuing to use his real superpower -- reptilian amoral flexibility -- to seamlessly transition from being a paid, Right-wing political hitman who gleefully took the filthy lucre of crackpot Conservative billionaires and used the unlimited crackpot-billionaire funded resources available on the Right to help build a Republican doomsday...

...to landing squarely on my "No Fair Remembering Stuff" podcast corner (but isn't everybody?) dressed up as Mr. "Holy shit!  You mean the Republican Party has been full of Republicans all along!!" guy.

And the funniest part of all of this?  Wilson (and pretty much every other Never Trumper) blocked me years ago specifically for promiscuously and publicly remembering the very same monstrous past of the Republican party that he is now "uncovering".

At the age of 100, Nixon is finally, safely down the Republican Memory Hole: his Constitution-slashing crime spree across the political landscape reduced in the wingnut mind to the same, simple lie Ron Zeigler first floated 40 years ago; a "third-rate burglary" carried out by overzealous, patriotic flunkies. Scratch a Republican and nine times out of 10 what you will hear about the 2nd worst president in American history is either that he wasn't a "real" Conservative (and therefore doesn't count against their lifetime fuckuppery total), or that he was a great man hounded from office by the vile Librul Media and a scheming FBI rat (Peggy Noonan in 2005) --

Is the Deep Throat story over? Yes, in the sense that it will no longer be treated as a mystery. In spite of the million questions we'll be hearing--and there are and will be many serious questions--the MSM will stick with the heroic narrative. Mr. Felt was Deep Throat. Deep Throat was a great man who helped a great newspaper put the stop to the lies and abuses of an out-of-control White House. End of story. Why? Because in celebrating this story in a certain way journalists of a certain age celebrate themselves. Because to bring unwelcome and unwanted skepticism to the narrative would be to deny 20th-century journalism--and 21st-century journalists--their great claim to glory. Because the MSM is still liberal, and the great Satan of all liberals, still, is Richard Nixon. And because, as Ben Bradlee might say, It's a goddamn good story.

Or as they put it in yet another John Ford masterpiece, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "When the legend becomes the fact, print the legend."

John Kerry:   This president has taken a $5.6 trillion surplus and turned it into deficits as far as the eye can see. Health-care costs for the average American have gone up 64 percent; tuitions have gone up 35 percent; gasoline prices up 30 percent; Medicare premiums went up 17 percent a few days ago; prescription drugs are up 12 percent a year. 

But guess what, America? The wages of Americans have gone down. The jobs that are being created in Arizona right now are paying about $13,700 less than the jobs that we're losing.

And the president just walks on by this problem. The fact is that he's cut job-training money. $1 billion was cut. They only added a little bit back this year because it's an election year.

They've cut the Pell Grants and the Perkins loans to help kids be able to go to college.

They've cut the training money. They've wound up not even extending unemployment benefits and not even extending health care to those people who are unemployed.

...

The president decided to give it to the wealthiest Americans in a tax cut. Now, Alan Greenspan, who I think has done a terrific job in monetary policy, supports the president's tax cut. I don't. I support it for the middle class, not that part of it that goes to people earning more than $200,000 a year.

And when I roll it back and we invest in the things that I have talked about to move our economy, we're going to grow sufficiently, it would begin to cut the deficit in half, and we get back to where we were at the end of the 1990s when we balanced the budget and paid down the debt of this country.

Same-Sex Marriage Issue Key to Some G.O.P. Races

Published: November 4, 2004

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 3 - Proposed state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage increased the turnout of socially conservative voters in many of the 11 states where the measures appeared on the ballot on Tuesday, political analysts say, providing crucial assistance to Republican candidates including President Bush in Ohio and Senator Jim Bunning in Kentucky...

In favor of crippling deficits as far as the eye can see:      62,040,610 

Opposed to crippling deficits as far as the eye can see:   59,028,444 

...They have always believed that deficits are Worse than Nine Hitlers. 

...Deficits can only be solved by stomping the fuck out the poor, the weak, the sick, the elderly, the unemployed and various other moochers and takers.

...Anyone who disagrees that Deficits are Worse than Nine Hitlers and can only be solved by stomping the fuck out the poor, the weak, the sick, the elderly and the unemployed is Deeply Unserious.

...Absolutely nothing of what I just told you about the last eight years ever happened.

"The thing that's so appalling to me is that the President, when this whole idea was suggested to him, didn't, in righteous indignation, rise up and say, 'Get out of here, you're in the office of the President of the United States. How can you talk about blackmail and bribery and keeping witnesses silent? This is the presidency of the United States.' But my President didn't do that. He sat there and he worked and worked to try to cover this thing up so it wouldn't come to light." 

Republican Desperation Grows as Benghazi Backfires and Scandal Talk Fizzles

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) bordered on hysteria about how “this” was not just some cover up of a third-rate Watergate burglary, “What is clear is that this administration, including the president himself, has intentionally misinformed, read that LIED, to the American people in the aftermath of this tragedy… This is not simply a cover up of a third-rate burglary.”
