Bill Maher's op-ed in yesterday's LAT eviscerates the Republican Party. He likens the scare tactics and empty protests to a rejected husband after a divorce: "You're not ready to let go, but the country you love is moving on. And now you want to call it a whore and key its car."
Maher correctly points out that the recent protests and hectoring from the GOP is based solely on losing the white house and not matters of principle. And the wild-eyed claims about taxes (which target a minute portion of American society) and guns (the Obama administration hasn't moved close to an assault weapons ban) are unfounded.
It's an entertaining read, which shouldn't be much of a surprise considering Maher's a comedian. One of my favorites:
"It's sad what's happened to the Republicans. They used to be the party of the big tent; now they're the party of the sideshow attraction, a socially awkward group of mostly white people who speak a language only they understand. Like Trekkies, but paranoid."
