Right Wing vs. Itself over Bush - I had this conversation with Andy

[MrScorpio]

It was at that bar in January on inaugural night. Estimated Prophet, Brainshrub and myself went to meet up with some other DUers; Will Pitt, Faye, Scubed, Hoot-n-Holler and Andy. As a matter of fact, I think that Andy was the one who shot this picture:



Anyways, during the night, we had all talked and the mood was a bit serious at this impromptu DU gathering. I was pissed. Both Will and I sat there and blathered our mouths off for awhile. He had one side of the group and I had the other, I was sitting across from Andy, who I really didn't know much of at the time. But I saw that he was a great listener.

A little later, a man and a woman stopped by to meet Will so that he could interview them, so our group grew by two. All sitting there, talking away. The atmosphere was electric.

That's when I told Andy, especially, that the Right was doomed. Because of something, one end of the Right was going to go to war against the other end, with Bush in the middle.

Andy did seem a little skeptical at my theory. I mean, Bush just stole the White again and had begun his second term. But I stuck to my guns. I was convinced that Bush's support among traditional, more mainstream Conservatives was going to eventually break down over Bush's performance. The thing that these people want is competence and their piece of the pie. These things are necessary for supporting Bush. But in the second term, I said, that Bush is doomed because the cabinet that he'll appoint is made up of nothing but yes men, instead of competent public officials and when the traditional right starts suffering under Bush malfeasance, the tide will turn.

To me, it was all so completely obvious.

Well, we had all decided to head over to the Billionaires For Bush party the for a little fun.

And as we left the bar, I told Andy, as we both were watching the coiffed, tuxedoed and heavily gilded masses of Alien Lizard Overlords as they ran amok in the streets of D.C., that they were all doomed... and they didn't even know it.

Nine months later, people are finally waking up. (A hearty welcome to all the New DUers, fresh from their sentence on the other side.)

I wish Andy was still alive to see this.
