Looks like the right is Swift Snubbing Bob Barr
You could find just about everything at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference this week: the bumper sticker that says "Happiness is Hillary's face on a milk carton," the "Straight Pride" T-shirt, a ride on an F-22 Raptor simulator at the Lockheed exhibit, and beans from the Contra Cafe coffee company (slogan: "Wake up with freedom fighters").

As of midday yesterday, a silent auction netted $300 for lunch with activist Grover Norquist, $275 for a meal with the Heritage Foundation president and $1,000 for a hunting trip with the American Conservative Union chairman. But lunch with former congressman Bob Barr (R-Ga.), with an "estimated value" of $500, had a top bid of only $75 -- even with a signed copy of Barr's book, "The Meaning of Is," thrown in.

No surprise there. The former Clinton impeachment manager is the skunk at CPAC's party this year. He says President Bush is breaking the law by eavesdropping on U.S. citizens without warrants. And fellow conservatives, for the most part, don't want to hear it.

"You've heard of bear baiting? We're going to have, today, Barr baiting," R. Emmet Tyrell, a conservative publisher, announced as he introduced a debate Thursday between Barr and Viet Dinh, one of the authors of the USA Patriot Act.

2. We could call it "Swift Tubbing" in honor of Grover.

5. Well, it is all about killing their opponents' campaign in their infancies
...so before Bob Barr gets too much press or credibility as a splinter Repub, better drown his ass.

8. This deserves a recommend. The splintering has reached a new level.
They need to denounce their own, and it's fun to watch.

9. Bob Barr will have the last laugh. And I suspect Trent Lott will have a ch
chance at a few snickers as well.

10. It's clear to me why so many fundies couldn't possibly become Catholic.

The construction industry isn't large enough to build all of the confessionals! :silly:

"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It's been 4 days since my last Confession. I've had 34,832 impure thoughts and wished for the death of 437 people, by name. ..."

11. And for your penance

Order up decaf skinny lattes each morning and leave the SUV parked in the garage for the next 4 weeks, and take public transportation to work. Go forth, wingnut, and sin no more!
