IT'S MY PARTY AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO
A new phenomenon is sweeping across the country. No, it's not acid rain or kudzu - it's Republican operatives, or their significant others, crying!
First, Randy "the Duke" Cunningham, after he pled to charges of bribery, let loose a blustery stream of tears as he proclaimed how "sorry" he was. This macho Vietnam vet, who has made a career out of attacking other politicans' manhood/sexual preferences (he once said "The only man I know who would enjoy a colonoscopy is Barney Frank) has suddenly gotten all soft and mushy on us.. Randy, as you remember, was wearing a wiretap for the Feds as the details of his agreement were being worked out. He was wearing it as part of the Feds' investigation of Jack "Blackjack" Abramoff. Which leads us to crying jag #2:
At the Golden Globes, George Clooney made fun of Abramoff's first name and the last three letters of his last name, by stringing them together. This reportedly made Abramoff's daughter cry. The dozens of Indian casinos who have been bilked out of millions by Abramoff, whom he called "monkeys," "morons," and various other affectionate terms, could not be reached for comment when asked about the daughter's crying jag.
And finally, there's Martha Baumgartner, a.k.a. Martha Alito, who dripped out oh-so-delicate tears as Republican senator Lindsey Graham asked her husband if he was a closet bigot. Martha, when asked what caused her to emote in this manner, said "my husband and I are not used to being treated in this manner." (Indeed they are not - Republicans do not go around asking their own kind if they are bigots!). Judge Alito seemed rather aloof as the crying incident occurred. If he were a closet bigot, then, by definition, it would seem, his wife would not know, so who is to say, assuming her tears were real, why she was crying?
Remember when Barbara Boxer, the lone Democratic senator who formally challenged the results of the 2004 election, was seen shedding tears as her challenge was rejected? A Republican congressman told her to "get over it."
But, no one dare suggest that this trio of Republicans dare stop their trail of tears. After all, if one isn't big enough, ethical enough, or classy enough, to not cry when attacked by trivial "Big Hollywood," or nonsensical "Glub Glub Glub Ted Kennedy," that person does indeed have a lot to cry about.

Of course the GOOP are hypocrites. I just love it when Laura "Stepford" Bush spoke of her husband masterbating a horse - and the conservative types laughed at her. "Oh, how funny, Bushie masterbated a horse, what a laugh riot!" If that were said by Hillary, there would have been pitchforks at her door. The GOOP has one standard for themselves (the standard being "we can do whatever the fuck we want") and one standard for everyone else. ("If you question anything we do, then you help the terrorists.") It's truly frightening how they have pulled the media into this, and the American public is being duped, hook, line, and sinker.
