somebody's not getting the message. I'm starting to realize, shockingly, that there must be a major perceptional disconnect somewhere .

Unless the disconnect is intentional. Apparently, the GOP leadership could care less about learning to use power wisely - they would rather use their diminished power poorly.

And that is just going to kill any effort to improve the picture in 2008. Methinks a lot more pubbies are gonna have to be shown the door in the next round of primaries.

Trent Lott, GOP Choice [Andrew Stuttaford]

Here's what Talleyrand reportedly said about the last Bourbon rulers of France: "They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing."

Here's what Trent Lott reportedly said about attacks on earmarking:

"I'll just say this about the so-called Porkbusters. I'm getting damn tired of hearing from them. They have been nothing but trouble ever since Katrina."

I have nothing more to add.

(more from National Review) who seem to all hate this choice. Why wouldn't we be thrilled about the king of pork as the whip in the age of the Bridge to Nowhere? Sigh.
