Who’ll Be Next In Line For Heartache bush-new-hampshire-bus-door.jpg

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.

It was George Bush’s “Victory Express,” the motor-coach that carried him throughout New Hampshire in 2000.

Which Bush lost. bush-new-hampshire-bus-bush.jpg

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.

The Loser Express’s final service to America was this year, bush-new-hampshire-bus-giuliani.jpg when it rolled to it’s final disaster as the Rudi Giuliani campaign bus.

Bill Clinton Forces A Decision

No Greater Friend, No Worse Enemy clintons1.jpg

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.”

Rebel Sell

That’s The Way God Planned It davis-wrecked.jpg

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 katrina.jpg

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!

Fox & Friends, And Friends

The militant halfwits of Fox & Friends are storied in legend and song for promoting crackpot stories of madrassa raised Barack Obama and other smears.

But what if all they are is dim?

Evidence for the affirmative: Fox & Friends confusing abolitionist Frederick Douglas with Abraham Lincoln sparing partner Stephen Douglas. lincoln-fox-frederick-douglas.JPG You can see an MSNBC clip of the buffoonery here.

Hillary Clinton’s latest hat trick of calling for “Lincoln-Douglas” style debates appears to be going nowhere, but not before snagging Fox along with the Tiffany Network, which reported:

“She said she would like to see an Abraham Lincoln-Frederick Douglas style debate, where the two traveled around Illinois debating one-on-one.”

Lost Leaders

Loser davis-loan.jpg

Your Washington Times continues to perform magnificently as the daily diary of the Confederate Dream. Their latest is an esquisitly detailed roundup on all the festivities unfolding in this, the Jefferson Davis Bicentennial Year.

The creepy efforts to ape real President’s commemorations will be at full force in 2008. There appear to be at least two reenactments of Davis’s swearing in as secessionist President, and strained efforts to tie Davis to Black History Month have been presented with a straight face. The festive schedule will climax with the the reopening of the Davis Beauvoir home in Gulfport Mississippi, the “Mount Vernon of the Confederacy.”

The neighboring Davis “Presidential Library” was flattened. davis-library.jpg

Its all being rebuilt at a cost of $20 million, provided in part by serial bankrupt Donald Trump and the federal government, over the objections of the NAACP.

But for all this, the first Davis oath reenactment attracted a few hundred. The post-Katrina relaunch of Beauvoir was so sparsely attended they used odd cropping to hide the size of the crowd. davis-dedication-side.jpg

The Lost Cause appears to be getting loster.
