This is a case the Republicans could really win on. Ridicule the idea of Guam and Alaska getting "Sandy emergency" money. Pick apart every bit of pork and name names of who added it to make them look like a bunch of greedy vultures latching onto a disaster to fund their own parasitic cash lust. It could be a 2013 bridge-to-nowhere issue. But the feckless GOP chokes once again.

The current GOP is like a hollow oak tree. Mighty and strong in its day, but now rotten to the core and only good in consuming ground that could be used for a younger healthy tree.

That is right on the money.

I woiuld have said a Hollow Gum tree though.

An Oak is a noble tree, the gum is just full of balls that keep falling off. Which is an apt description of Republicans today, all of their balls have fallen off.
