is there any real need for things to devolve back to the hoary old days of the 2000 presidential campaign? i understand that the republicans did much better in opposition than they have since 2000, so maybe there's a bit of nostalgia in it--but it is fucking tedious. it is self-evident to anyone who bothered then to look what gore meant by that remark, which the cretinocracy of conservativeland turned into some element of their GroupHate approach to identity politics.

but this is not 2000. it is 2007. it is now abundantly clear what the implications of conservativeland in 2000 were when it came to exercising power. and it is obvious that conservativeland itself is just a tired rickety old amusement park, kind of like some backwater copy of coney island---and it is also clear that the right is going to have to rebuild from the fiasco that the bush years have been in much the same way (though perhaps not in the same direction) as the rest of us will.

i guess all that is just tought to face fro some of the faithful on the order of reconmike. kinda in the way that iraq is for the bush administration and the 20% of the population that still supports them must be.
