Senator Dumb as a Doorknob, Senator 'Liaisons Dangereuses', Health Care Militias, Town Hall Yippies, Suicidal Lobbyists……
The permanent Sunni minority, long entrenched in power but out of it now, with a lot of corporate petroleum money and outside suicidal lobbyists, face the now ruling Shi’a majority, which seems divided on itself. Sounds familiar?
The extremist Republican Sunnis on the committee, Jon (Dumb as a Doorknob) Kyl, John Cornyn, John (Family Values and les Liaisons Dangereuses) Ensign, et al, using hit and run tactics to frustrate the plans of the Democratic Shi’as (Baucus, Cantwell, Kerry, et al). In that, they use everything from roadside bombs, IEDs, all the way to suicide attacks (hope springs eternal here).
On the other hand, the Republicans are also forming their own sectarian militia, their own version of the Mahdi Army or General Petraeus’s the Awakening Councils: militias that wade into the enemy ranks, swinging the sharp gladius, taking no prisoners. As for the town halls of summer, they looked like the old Triangle of Death in the southern outskirts of Baghdad.
Speaking of the Senate Finance Committee; I do believe that senator Jon (Dumb as a Doorknob) Kyl actually believes that Jesus is on the side of the Health Insurance corporations, that he would probably would have shown up at Democratic town halls sporting a semi-automatic, as angry and disruptive as a mislead senior citizen, as disruptive as a yippie at Chicago (circa 1968). Sort of like Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hofmann, or David Dellinger. Or even Bobby Seale.
As for Sarah Palin; she is forming her own ‘Sons of Alaska” squads, harried along the way by a self-styled ‘effing’ redneck teenager, a high school dropout from Wasilla, by the name of Levi.
