1. almost 14 years ago on Lisa Benson

   If only there were a conservative cartoonist who actually had some ideas…every time I see Lisa Benson’s work it reminds me of why the Republicans are the party of NO and why the teabaggers have nothing but destruction on their agenda. Does anyone really think Kagan won’t be able to hold her own with any of those people to her right…particularly Thomas, who never bothers to speak at all in session? If the hearings taught us anything it’s that she won’t be the baby on this court.

   It’s exasperating because the Democrats NEED a good foil, they NEED a loyal opposition to force them to perform better, not just lightweights like Benson who can’t develop a coherent argument. Benson’s symptomatic of a larger problem with conservatives today who have lost their ability to effectively counterpunch. All they can do is kick people below the belt, and while there’s short term advantage to that…it wrecks the country in the long run.
