One of the little things that we don’t really talk about in the 2008 election is how progressive Democrats, smarting over being beaten consistently for eight years by that man, participated in the greatest If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em in history. Their only problem? They didn’t actually go out and find a clone of Bush; they went out and found a clone of the Bush that they had constructed in their heads*. It was sort of a bizarre Cargo Cult exercise, in other words; and the Democrats merely had the good (or so it seemed) luck to have found a clone with the added ability to read a scripted speech well. The strain that progressives are having in dealing with that without dealing with that has merely gotten more and more entertaining since the election.
