May the gods of dysentery have a front row seat on this tub.

Republicans are said to be experiencing their winter of discontent, aimlessly adrift and trying to get their bearings after a couple of tough campaign cycles. So why not join like-minded folks and be literally adrift, on a luxury cruise ship meandering for 10 days in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic?

You'll be able to commiserate with and enjoy the grand company of luminaries from the conservative National Review -- Rich Lowry, Jonah Goldberg, Kathryn Lopez, Kate O'Beirne and others.

The luxurious Holland America Noordam sets out from Rome to Dubrovnik to the Greek Isles, then to Sicily and back to Rome. The 2009 Mediterranean Cruise has a "sunny itinerary" perfect to brighten an otherwise gloomy time, the magazine's ad says. There are "exclusive cocktail receptions and smokers (featuring H. Upmann cigars), scintillating seminars and intimate dining with guest speakers."

Some of the guest speakers include Karl ("Permanent Majority") Rove, author Michael Novak, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton and ace political analyst Dick Morris, who appears fully recovered from that toe-sucking incident. Also on board will be columnists Tony Blankley, Cal Thomas and George Gilder.

1. 'Opportunity'? Aye, matie, sounds like a nightmare, or the makings

of a himmacane.

[monmouth]

23. I'm dreaming of lying on a pool lounge next to the big white whale Dick

Morris after I have a pedicure with bright red toenail polish. Bet he would let me waterboard him, no? Oh the delicious things that could be done on this fiasco at sea.....sigh.

2. Up the river?

Let's hope it's the river of no return.

3. The Voyage of the Damned.

What a horror show. Too bad they aren't planning to pass along the coast of Somalia.

8. National Review has been hosting this for years.

And I've always wondered how many take the trip. I mean, cocktails and hors d'ourvres with Karl Rove! Who could resist?

A true Ship of the Damned, if you ask me.

9. Something about Rats and sinking ship come to mind

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. Can you imagine

being trapped onboard this ship of fools?

Makes me wanna cry I tell ya'.

[underpants]

11. How much to put suntan lotion on a shirtless Rove?

:hide:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. There aren't enough

gold dabloons on this planet to make me approach that assclown with the intention of slathering it with lotion...

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

[underpants]

22. First principles

First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?

26. I am amazed that Bill Bennett is not mentioned as one of the guest speakers. With a casino on board

they probably would not even have to pay him.
