After methodically planning a convention that hides the voices of the true nature of the Republican party, a GOP hit squad, led by Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, has the gall to accuse the Democrats of "going through an extreme makeover."
Um, Mr. Gillespie, what about the GOP convention where traditional Republicans are few and far between?
Even conservative Kate O'Beirne noted that "The decision to showcase rogue elephants as representatives of the modern Republican party is not the mark of a self-confident party establishment. If the lineup is intended to make an overwhelmingly conservative party attractive to swing voters, it does so by pretending to be something it's not."
Now that's an Extreme Makeover. But Boston Globe Columnist Alex Beam has an even better example.
"The most astonishing transformation of recent times is George Bush's journey from Yalie drunk to the leadership of what still passes for the free world. That is an extreme makeover."
Gillespie and the GOP are in Boston to fill gullible reporters with GOP talking points, which many are only too willing to use. Brit Hume of FOX News went straight to his computer after Ron Reagan's talk for the latest GOP talking points last night in order to rebut the speech.
The GOP has tried to hide its presence in Boston but CNN said that "Democrats had discovered the location and sent a costumed character named "Enron Ed" to poke fun at Gillespie's past work as a lobbyist for the troubled energy trading company."
I'm sure "Enron Ed" is more than willing to question Kerry's values. Maybe someone should questions his and the GOP's, "pre-extreme makeover."
