A Feast of Metaphors

Jacob Heilbrunn says the GOP needs its own ‘Secret Speech’ repudiating the Cheney Era.

Definitely read Jacob’s very amusing and insightful piece.

One thing he mentions is this meeting and vote the RNC is holding on Wednesday to vote and decide whether to officially designate the Democratic party as “socialist.” I’m glad they’re focusing on the things that are going to bring their party back to power. I haven’t seen a nugget that so perfectly typifies the current GOP’s mix of ideological obscurantism and dingbat sloganeering as this. I mean, they’re not even in the bubble. They’re like in a bubble within the bubble. They can’t even emerge into the bubble proper.
