Family Fued

Billmon analyzes the growing rift within the GOP:

Right-wing opponents of the Miers nomination also shouldn't be too surprised to find themselves slimed as "sexists," "elitists," "geeks" and (my favorite) "so-called movement conservatives" who have no followers. After all, many of them eagerly helped the administration slime those who opposed the neocon march of folly as anti-Semitic extremists who hate America almost as much as they love the Islamofascists. They know how the Rovian game is played -- or should. So it's a little late for the bow-tie brigade to whine about the way the RNC spin machine rips quotes out of context to make the Orwellian case that black is white. After all, they were for it before they were against it.

Oh, this could get good. Funny enough, I'm actually reminded of something generally attributed to, of all people, Herr Kissinger. When asked about the Iran-Iraq war back in the 80's, he supposedly said, "It's a shame they can't both lose."
