Time for Voinovich to Shut Up

I've seen references to this Dispatch bit with Senator Voinovich that is just too stupid for me to not pass up...
Voinovich said the deal hatched by Strickland is short-sighted: "This budget will get him through the (2010) election, but then we'll have hell to pay."
The key point there is that the budget deal will get Strickland through the election... Strickland and Ohio demcorats aren't worried about when they will have to pay the piper, all they care about is keeping their power. Short-sighted? Yeah...thanks for that brilliant analysis, Socrates...

Even dumber...
Barack Obama's biggest problem? Two words: Nancy Pelosi.
Not the empty suit? Not the socialism? Not the broken campaign promises...it's Nancy Pelosi. Got it. Thanks for playing...

As dumb as that was, grandpa gets downright crazy in this bit:
The GOP's biggest problem? "We got too many Jim DeMints (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburns (R-Okla.). It's the Southerners. They get on TV and go "errrr, errrrr." People hear them and say, 'These people, they're Southerners. The party's being taken over by Southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?'"
Errrrr, errrrrr? Really, grandpa, is that what they do? Because I though guys like Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn actually ARE fiscal conservatives and a deficit hawks, unlike some people...

By the way, Senator, you might not know this but southerners are STILL Americans. Jack@$$.

You want to know what is wrong with the GOP, senator? I'll tell you: For far too long, we have continued to support people like you who have long outlived their usefulness in Dee Cee. That is what is wrong with the GOP. But we have Hope and Change now because of guys like you and your buddy Mikey DeWine...thanks a lot.
