This guy is a joke. The sad part is that he doesn't know it.
This, for me, isn't about Republicans & Democrates. This about the media plucking some guy who got a little noteriety (rightly or wrongly) and making him a reporter in Iraq.This is about the stupidity of celebrity. The Cult of Personality.

Actually, I think many Republicans want to bury their head in the sand every time they see him and Palin pretending they are the voice of the Republican Gen-X. At least, I should hope many self-respecting Republicans do... oops! oxymoron!If Blago said he was appointing himself Senator tomorrow, guess who'd get all the media coverage.

It seems the older I get, the more disillusioned I've become with politics.
