Shape Up, Punks! 
Michael Reagan is taking a break from identyfying New Reagans in order to diss the post-catastropy Republican field.
” We are attaching ourselves to certain individuals, and as a result we have become a party of people and not a party of principles. We are Romney-ites, or Huckabee or Giuliani devotees, or McCain-ites, or supporters of Gov. Sarah Palin – when we need to be just plain Republicans…In the Balkans, warfare between factions was the status quo. As Republicans, if we continue to Balkanize and fail to unite, then fighting one another will be our party’s status quo.”
Stirring words from a man who upon his death compared Gerald Ford with Saddam Hussein.
Hugh Hewitt: Leg Man? 
Indomitable or perverse: You make the call. Like his mentor Richard Nixon, former Nixon Library Executive Director Hugh Hewitt will not accept defeat.
His mash note to Mitt Romney couldn’t save the Latter Day Hope, and the next horse Hewitt chose to ride is faltering.
#1: He Lost 
The Townhall impresario’s latest attempt to serve the cause and himself has stalled, with publishers so far rejecting his proposed How Sarah Palin Won the Election … and Saved America quickie book.
Who’ll Be Next In Line For Heartache 
A relative unknown came to storied New Hampshire, home of America’s crustiest voters, seeking their backing for president. He rode the back roads aboard an iconic vehicle, taking his message to the faded mill towns which spawn our presidents.
No, not that one.
It was George Bush’s “Victory Express,” the motor-coach that carried him throughout New Hampshire in 2000.
Which Bush lost. 
Now the bus Bush road to defeat can be yours!
The Politico points to the exciting auction already underway on eBay, where you can own this metallic remnant of a humbler George W. Bush.
And that’s not all! There’s hardly a failed Republican presidential candidate of the last two decades, announced or otherwise, who hasn’t spent time on this doom patrol.
Alexander. 
Dole. 
Gingrich. 
Pataki. 
Gramm. 
Frist. 
Kemp. 
Romney.
The Loser Express’s final service to America was this year, 
when it rolled to it’s final disaster as the Rudi Giuliani campaign bus.
No Greater Friend, No Worse Enemy 
Jackie Calmes reports a glitch in the Democrats unity stampede:
“Some in the Clinton camp also noted a possible problem for a party-unity ticket: Bill Clinton may balk at releasing records of his business dealings and big donors to his presidential library.”
That’s The Way God Planned It 
Tuesday is your day, Donald Trump and other fans of slavery nostalgia!
It’s the gala reopening of Beauvoir, home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, largely destroyed by politically correct Hurricane Katrina. The accompanying “Presidential Library” was wiped out completely by the avenging wind.
Terrible Swift Sword 
Small compensation for New Orleans, but we Americans are an optimistic people.
Tuesday will also be Davis’s 200th birthday., encouraging the warm feelings of confederate nostalgists towards the traitor. Promoters of the “”Other President” walk a careful but familiar line, lamenting the tragic war between brothers without ever quite explaining what it was about*
Beauvoir’s special day will be marked with flags, speeches, several more speeches, and countless men in itchy wool uniforms. Some sense of decorum is being observed however. The program ask that:
“All re-enactors please use back gate entrance.”
*slavery!
