Base Is Base

Digby took another strip off the collective backs of Beltway Hackagooligans today:

"Press The Meat today was one for the books. After a colorless exchange between the usual ineffectual Democrat and a looney tunes, delusional Republican (Joe Biden and Curt Weldon) Monsignor Lil' Russ joined the roundtable where they ignored everything that had just been said to breathlessly offer their learned opinions on the runaway bride and Michael Jackson of the beltway --- Hillary and Howard.

Gwen Ifill pointed out that while Dean is popular with the rank and file, the Washington Democrats are very upset. The Knights of the Botox all made it quite clear that while Bush catering to his base is a smart strategy, they agree with the DC Dems that catering to the filthy Democrat rabble is quite beneath any civilized politician. But then, as we all know, Bush's base are Real Americans while the Democratic base consists of a bunch of godless, bi-coastal, terrorist sympathizers who are waaaay outside the mainstream. All 49% of 'em. No way are Judy, Gwen, Father Tim, and Dean Broder associated with those treasonous bastards. Why, everybody on Nantucket practically lives on pork rinds these days......


Which is waycooler than, well, maybe even Billmon - although I do take slight exception to Digby's last sentence quoted above based on the fact that a terror-assisted clampdown on slave-wage waiter visas is making it hard for Nantucketinians everywhere to get a good night's repast, Atkin's or no.

Regardless, the best comment on Digby's post so far goes to 'aiko' who said:

Thank you. thank you. thank you.

I never laughed so hard.

Not only does Dean speak for me but I think all this fuss is good for us.

I love being the base--it is about time!


And time it is.
