Some Repubs are in a funk because Obama won. For example, Bush's speechwriter

[ProSense]

Steve Benen rips apart this assertion by Marc Thiessen, chief speechwriter for Bush:

"Obama is already proving to be the most dangerous man ever to occupy the Oval Office"

Is the GOP giving out free crack?

[bdamomma]

1. why is he dangerous?? because he believes in rule of law?

stupid thing to say.

[BattyDem]

4. Not only that ... he respects the Constitution!

Be afraid ... be very afraid! :sarcasm:

[supernova]

7. And he's competent at his job

Oh the horror!

[LisaM]

2. He's wrong anyway

it was Cheney.

[Chulanowa]

3. Well, he's right

Because the Republicans mean dangerous to their agenda

[ProSense]

6. It's the reason they lost.

I hope they keep pushing this delusional BS for the next several elections.

Anything they can do to help strengthen the Democratic majority is welcomed.

[BOSSHOG]

5. Gotta keep the limbaugh base stirred up

with hateful, vitriolic, stupid rhetoric, and nobody doesit better then those with conservative values.

8. No, no no, everybody, y'all misunderstand Mr. Thiessen

What he means is Obama is articulate, intelligent, and refined, and doesn't need a speechwriter. Therefore, he is very dangerous to Mr. Thiessen, who who probably had to use flash cards with Bush to get him to understand the alphabet.

9. I heard Thiessen last night on BBC radio.

He was petulant and combative about everything. They're so afraid of any success the new administration may enjoy, so scared of being found out as frauds, they're trying to rewrite the past eight years for Bush's legacy and lay as many traps in logic and semantics for the next four/eight years as they can. The only battle they can win is the rhetorical one.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. They are filling the nation's oped pages with lame crap like this.

The theme is "Obama is dismantling the critical systems whereby Bush kept us safe for 7 years" like gulags holding 16 year old boys grabbed on a rumor.

The lameasses are trying to get their last licks in. They did not receive the message that America sent in November.

[WinkyDink]

11. "...most dangerous man (to former Administration officials) ever to occupy...." Heh.

[ClarkUSA]

12. It's the new wingnut meme re: closing of Gitmo and restoring habeus corpus.

Watch for GOP candidates to run on this in 2010. Watch which DINOs get in a defensive crouch about it.
Notice there's been not one peep out of neocon McCain best friend Joementum. Coward!

[catnhatnh]

13. Republican speechwriter my ass.....

...sounds like a "nattering nabob of negativity" to me (they hate hearing their own shit directed at them).

[PresidentObama]

14. Someone who worked for Bush is calling someone else dangerous?! That's funny.

[librechik]

15. First they paint themselves into a corner. Then they pour the bucket on their heads.

"Wasn't Me!"

[Political Tiger]

16. Icing on the cake!

The more the pukes freak out the more assured we can be that electing Obama was the right thing to do!

[HughBeaumont]

17. Chief speechwriter for Bewsh.

The author of "is our children learning", "fool me you cain't get fool'd agin" and my personal favorite: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,” Bush said. “They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

Jeeeenyus.

Isn't that like Chief Songwriter for Lisa Marie Presley?
