I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.

aka the Republican Party.

It is clear to me that they are eating their own now. McCain distances himself from Bush, Crist distances himself from McCain, the GOP bashes the bailout, McCain supports the bailout, the house and senate republicans are heading in different directions, the base hates the country clubbers and the Ive leaguers despise the rabble.

You've got pundits from Will to Hitchens to Kristol all jumping ship, like the rats they are, preferring the murky waters of uncertainty to being on board with the SS McCain.

No one noticed how McCain crashed another plane, did they?

This is the end.

Like the liquid Terminator T1000 being dunked in molten metal, there will be some thrashing about, some shrieks of panic, and then, inevitably, silence.

1. I thought the liquid Terminator was T2. T3 was the chick Terminator

But yes, last throes. Like Iraq, only with stuffed monkeys instead of explosive vests.

2. My bad, the liquid Terminators are know as T1000 series.
