Republicans are in severe decline. Right wing radio is fast becoming white noise.
Right wing politicians are becoming ever more extreme and crazy sounding. Repubican party leadership is increasingly cartoonish.

I am honestly gobsmacked.

I never thought it get this bad for them. Really.





What facet of this will be the first to go completely extinct?

Repubican rank and file?

Repubican party leadership?

Elected Repubicans?

Gasbag Hate Radio?

1. How is Gasbag Hate Radio even paying for itself, anymore?
Are *all* the thirty-percenters faithfully listening to it, and buying advertisers' products?

4. By picking up progressive hosts to supplement their pork-centric menu
Randi Rhodes returns to the airwaves in 2 weeks, courtesy of the same corporation than syndicates lard ass.

9. I spoke about gasbag radio, not FauxNooz
FauxNooz is coasting on their rep right now. They're a habit. And they successfully painted msnbc as liberal nooz. Right wing hate is dying, but liberal has not yet begun its serious ascent.

12. I said they're becoming white noise
They're ratings hold steady. But there are some small indications that some on the right may prevail on The Great Gasbag and a few others to find other lines of work.

13. I was just watching CNN's 100-days coverage and wondering...
Were I a Puke, which national-office Puke would I want to stand up to make the case for my party?

CNN was showing the Boner. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have the Boner speak for me. Or McChinless. Or the Pig Man.

And there's no hope in sight.
