...yesterday to a hero's welcome at the Burbank airport. As I watched the photo op with the former president, Vice President Al Gore, and the two journalists, all I could think of was how unimaginable it would be to see any Republican in a similar situation. Can you picture Bush and Cheney getting their pictures taken for doing something positive? Seriously, think of the number of heavyweights in the Democratic Party right now: Obama, Mrs. Clinton, George Mitchell, Richard Holbrooke, Dennis Ross, Jimmy Carter--and that's just foreign policy! Who are the leaders in the Republican Party? Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, John McCain, Jeff Sessions, Orrin Hatch, Richard Shelby, Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, David Vitter, John Thune, Jim Inhofe, Eric Cantor, Sarah Palin? You've got to be kidding! Can you imagine any of them getting their pictures taken for anything other than obstructing the Democrats? Can you even imagine any of them putting forth a positive proposal?
Meanwhile, Bob Gates is serving in the Obama administration, Colin Powell (who is sounding more and more like a Democrat) is fending off attacks from Cheney and Rush Limbaugh, and Mitt Romney, who just might be the GOP's most credible candidate for 2012, is getting slammed by Tim Pawlenty for presiding over successful health care reform in Massachusetts that looks suspiciously like some of the current proposals before Congress.
