Sense Of Shame Quote of the Day

"Republicans owe Bill Clinton an apology for impeaching him over lies and affairs while now embracing a pathological liar and womanizer. That apology will not be forthcoming. In fact, for years Republicans have accused the Democrats of gutter politics and shamelessness. Now the Republicans themselves have lost their sense of shame." -- major domo of the influential right wing website RedState Erick "Erick Squared" Erickson, via Crooks and Liars. "Now" they've lost their sense of shame? What a simultaneous display of both awareness and denial in the same paragraph.

Their sense of shame was bartered away decades ago to capture the hearts of racist Dixiecrats and form a new Rethuglican Party, and by employing the likes of professional hit men Murray Chotiner / Daniel Segretti / Lee Atwater / Karl Rove / Roger Stone to ratf*ck their Dem opponents, etc. So there are a lot more apologies to offer, but thanks for the initial one.
