Yup, in a Nutshell

And very well put, even if I say so as one who feels there aren't enough Spinal Tap references in this sad sad world:

It's an oversimplification to say that the Republican party exists for the sole purpose of redistributing as much of the nation's wealth as possible into the hands of the richest one-tenth of one percent of the population, and that everything else -- the cultural wars over abortion and gay rights and the death penalty and drugs and crime and the terrorists -- is just a dry-ice machine at a rock concert, obscuring the descent of a severely undersized Stonehenge monolith onto the stage of American political life.

Barely.

And W is stuck inside his malfunctioning plastic cocoon, but at this point in the travesty, no one even cares enough to send the stage hands to free him.

Sad sigh.

Exactly. He'll finally out when the smoke has cleared, the song is over, and it's too late to do anything.
