DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Read it.

Back during the 2008 elections, I started using the term “Shit Sandwich Republicans,” primarily in the context of the John McCain candidacy, but also more generally to describe politicians nominally Republican who actually were quite liberal, who ignored the long-time principles of the GOP, and yet expected conservatives and others to vote for them simply because they weren’t officially Democrats.

I called them all shit sandwiches, because their approach boiled down to “Eat your shit sandwich and pretend the filling is tasty jam, because otherwise the Democrats win.”

Newt Gingrich has proved to be the biggest disappointment of his generation. I guess he wanted to be Bob Dole when he grew up. Well, he’s succeeded.

[Thanks, Roy.]
