Stale and Stinky

Right now I'm not in the mood to be constructive or fair so forgive my rambling.

The race for minority leader is not the biggest decision in the world. If Boehner wins I won't be shattered...

But then again, I won't be that excited about it either. And frankly, conservatives need (nay - deserve!) some excitement!

Tonight I joined several bloggers for an interview with Congressman Boehner running for the leadership position in the GOP (essentially he's hoping for a re-election).

The biggest disappointment is that these congressional leaders are just not compelling. I won't say that paint dries quicker... but I haven't scientifically tested that theory yet either.

Do you want some juicy tidbits from the call? OK, get out your Mad Lib on "political platitudes". Fill out the first three pages.

Done yet? There! Now you were on the call too!

Does that sound depressing? (Maybe this selection process is more important than I first led you to believe).

There are just no original ideas in the current leadership. Actually, there's nothing original about then at all.

They don't talk about anything new. They don't read anything new. Frankly, some of them don't read at all!

It's as if the dead body-politic were lying on the sidewalk and the old GOP guard is standing there waving people by and shouting out: "Nothing to see here folks... Move along. Back to your lives conservatives. Just assume your regular positions... Nothing to worry about, we have this all under control."

Can we dispense with all the stale and smelly folk around here please!

(I'll try to put something together more positive and value-add tomorrow)
