Shark Jumping: 101

With the deficit approaching the point where the Congressional Budget Office will have to hire people just to count all the zeros, rising chatter and Senate hearings about torture and war crimes of the previous administration, and a health care plan coming down the pipe that could actually make trips to the doctor's office MORE of a hassle than it already is (woo forms!) in addition to decreasing the quality of care (woo disease!), the Gallingly Obtuse Party's leadership has decided to hold "an extraordinary special session" at which they...they...I can't even bring myself to type it:

A member of the Republican National Committee told [Roger Simon] Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.”

That's right: the GOP's grand strategy has literally been reduced to NAME CALLING. I'm just waiting for a Republican to get up on the floor of the House or Senate and just scream "Nuh-uh, Doo Doo Head!"

My money is on Michelle Bachmann.
