The Face of Republicanism

I can't do it here, but I envision a "Hall of Hate-Fame" or "Greatest Shits" or some biographical compendium of the people who have destroyed America. 

There would be categories and honors and lists of notable achievements, including bankruptings, killings, squandered inheritances and personal gain-for-pain.

The inheritances are not all tangible. The pain is always someone else's. The efficiency of the destruction is the most important criterion. It was a big boat to sink.

"College Republicans" is my favorite category. Never have so many owed so much to so few, but in a bad way: Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist and Jack Abramoff.

Phil and Wendy Gramm have their own "lifetime of failure" nook, where the stunning persistence of obviously failed economic doctrines is detailed. What an accomplishment!

Fox News funds a museum. There, the face of Republicanism is Roger Ailes--fat, pasty-white, rich and hideous to behold--and not the hench-persons he has out front.
