FEMA sends ice for Katrina victims to Maine - for no apparent reason

There are times when people do or say things that are so monumentally stupid it just makes my brain hurt. It feels like my brain is smashing itself against the inside of my skull, like it is trying to get out so it can smack someone.

In a recent issue of Mother Jones I can across the best description on what went wrong with the Republicans.

"It's a classic tale of intending to do good - and doing very
well, ... The pledge of all these Reagan revolutionaries was to overturn
the iron triangle of Congress, the special interests, and the lobbyists.
Instead, they've found themselves comfortable with big government, as long as it
cashes in for their clients. I remember all these people as insurgents,
revolutionaries to overthrow the establishment. They became the
establishment in such a short time in an orgy of moneymaking. They ran the
Republican revolution off the rails."
