Never rains but it pours

While the monster continued to eat the economy, the Gentleman from Arizona was seeking a stay of his own electoral execution, the U.S. government rushed head first to bring the nation closer to insolvency, U.S. Naval personnel were engaging in target practice in the newly renovated Somali firing range, North Korea has helpfully decided to bar inspectors, removed seals and shut off cameras at its main nuclear plant. This newest spat couldn't come at a worse time for the GOP. King George is set to try to convince the American people (those who still have homes, televisions and the time to watch them) this evening that this bailout plan is in their best interest, even as Captain Hope's poll numbers begin to advance both beyond McCain's and beyond the margin of error. The net result is likely to be that the monster presently squishing the economy under foot is likely going to eat the GOP's presidential hopes.
