The Axis Of Drivel

NYT stat-guy Blow uses some words as effectively as numbers.
Why? Because the Republicans have dissolved into a querulous lot of nags and naysayers without a voice, a direction or a clue, and we are not amused.

And who has surfaced as their saviors? Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh — the axis of drivel.
And we always admire those who self-link. Especially if we missed it a mo. ago.
The past two weeks perfectly illustrate why the Republican ranks are withering — the mindless bickering with the left and spineless groveling to the right.
From that link:
Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican Leader, gave voice to that anxiety at the Republican National Committee meeting on Thursday:

“We’re all concerned about the fact that the very wealthy and the very poor, the most and least educated, and a majority of minority voters, seem to have more or less stopped paying attention to us, and we should be concerned that, as a result of all this, the Republican Party seems to be slipping into a position of being more of a regional party than a national one.”

Let's back that up w/ some stats. (We're just like Megan McArdle now.) Gosh, we're very, very concerned as well. Without a meaningful, loyal opposition to the Marx-O-Mohammedan party, we may just go overboard in our giving all the money of the financially responsible achievers to the parasites.
