The Republican Wimp Factor
Ever notice how the Pubbies squeal like little babies every time their Wittle Pwesident gets something resembling a tough question from the press corps? Which really didn't happen until three years into his presidency, by the way.

Well, it's clear that 8 years of one-sided treatment of Bill Clinton, rogue congressional investigations and continued pro-Pubster media whore behavior have made turned the Right Wing into the bully who looks big, but is really a flabby gooey mess once you give him a good shot.

The perfect embodiment of this is, of course, The Accidental President, who can't even answer a few questions from the 9/11 Commission without bringing Dad along.

The most glaring example of growing Republican wimpiness is the reaction to the 9/11 Commission, which, as soon as it got even slightly tough, was accused of being a rabid partisan's hornet's nest. All because they're trying to figure out the simple problem of how 3,000 died in broad daylight, how dozens of clues weren't ultimately followed up on, and how we can prevent this from happening again.

Of course, the press never mentions how hard the Administration fought the Commission to begin with.

They can't handle the truth. Especially the imposter at the top, who never has never had to face the consequences of his behavior in his life.

Spoiled child. Spoiled party. A bunch of thin-skinned wimps.

1. Amusingly Ironic
We stood up to the shellacking that Clinton got, daily, but these namby-pamby wimps just can't handle it.

2. Apart from all the other assets, Clinton had two things
that Bush lacks: Balls.

3. The party of lowered expectations
No wonder the bottom half of the bell curve loves them: no one expects anyone to be competent.

Atlas is surely shrugging.

4. Ordinary
Of course those intelligent, educated, elitist media corp shouldn't be going after the "just like me" ordinary President. Funny how they think it's fine to be ordinary in the WH but wouldn't want a ordinary surgeon operating on a loved one.
