America To GOP: Take That $100 And Shove It Up Your Gas!

Last week, I posed the question of whether $100 would buy the Republicans back voter support.

The answer appears to be... No.

NY Times: Sharp Reaction to G.O.P. Plan on Gas Rebate

The Senate Republican plan to mail $100 checks to voters to ease the burden of high gasoline prices is eliciting more scorn than gratitude from the very people it was intended to help.

Aides for several Republican senators reported a surge of calls and e-mail messages from constituents ridiculing the rebate as a paltry and transparent effort to pander to voters before the midterm elections in November...

Pander? The Republicans? The hell you say!

Looks like, this year, the Republicans will have to rely on more then cheap bribes to regain their mojo.

Even Rush Limbaugh said on his show last Friday, "What kind of insult is this? Instead of buying us off and treating us like we're a bunch of whores, just solve the problem." I'll have to agree with him there. No word yet, though, on whether Rush believes the gas crisis is the work of Bill Clinton's secret shadow government. The truth is out there.

Meanwhile, the hypocrisy of the Republican leadership is laid bare in one photo of Speaker Hastert.

Yea, it's definitely going to be a long summer...
