One final note before bed. The radical right is pushing for the GOP to include conservative Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) as a prime-time convention speaker in order to ensure that the radical right wing of the party is represented at the convention. Currently, most of the prime time speakers at the convention are all Republicans who oppose the gay-bashing Federal Marriage Amendment, and who basically don't see eye-to-eye with Bush on much of anything, especially "family values." Thus, the radical right's effort to get Hyde.
As for me, I'd love to see Henry Hyde make it as the GOP's Family Values ambassador. Ain't nothing better than a confirmed adulterer getting in front of millions of people and telling them they need the government prying into their private lives to make sure they have a Jerry-Falwell-Approved relationship. Oh yeah, Henry Hyde as morality maven. I'm salivating already at the political cartoons and jokes and posters we can make for the convention based on this one.
- "Adultery is not a family value"
- "Do as I say, not as I do"
- "Henry Hyde says: 'Take my wife, please'"
- "Henry Hyde/Mary Cheney in 2008: the Hypocrisy Ticket"
- "Would you trust your wife with Henry Hyde?"
- "Adulterers for Bush"
- "Henry can't Hyde his Affairs"
Any other good ones out there?
