The Left hasn't had to do any playing --- what's it called when an instrument plays itself?

Possession or haunting, but that is in another thread.

Hmmm.... So what do think about the criticism she is getting from the right?

Many on the right think she is intentionally sabotaging McCain's campaign to set herself up for a run in 2012. What a great ticket they have assembled!

Tex seems to be getting desperate and frustrated.

He was posting a LOT the week after the RNC. He was walking on sunshine, claiming that he could not have imagined how things could have gone any better for the Repubs.

Now, he is rarely posting, and when he does, he is grumpy, blaming the "gotcha" media (a vast media conspiracy....where have we heard that one before?), and basically steadfast in his unwillingness to admit that the Republicans not only screwed up the election, but they screwed up the White House.

Tex is like the "Nearer My God to Thee" musicians on Titanic: admirable, but ultimately, fish food.*

* partial credit to Jeff Lebowski for his prior reference to the Titanic tragedy
