Useful -- But Persistent -- Idiots

Some things don't change. It'd be nice if they did ... but they don't.

It's six months and a week or so until the fall elections, and the GOP is doing a little boob-baiting:

"It seems like for only six months, every two years -- right around election time -- that we're even noticed," said Tom McClusky of the Family Research Council.

"Some of these better pass," he added. "You notice when it's just lip service being paid."

Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer agreed that the effort matters.

"If they get to these things this summer, which we expect that they will, that will go a long way toward energizing the values voters at the base of the Republican Party," said Bauer, head of Americans United to Preserve Marriage.

Ah, yes, Mr. McClusky, I imagine you have those RNC types pretty much shaking in their shoes. Why, if they don't do right this time -- as they never have, come to think of it -- then you're really gonna get mad!

Yeah. Right.

As I was saying: some things don't change.
