What the Hell Just Happened? And What Now?

I am watching Mike Huckabee on Fox.

He is declaring that two years after being pronounced dead, the Republicans are back — and he's comparing their resurgence to Twilight, or The Night of the Living Dead.

That is, to a vampire movie, and a movie about flesh-eating ghouls.

Thanks, Huck.

For the last twelve hours I have been sitting in a hotel room and watching the resurgence on Fox News. I was wondering what to call it.

Two years after The Eight Years.

Two years after eight years of unprecedented power grabs.

Two years after eight years of unprecedented desecrations of practice and abrogations of principle.

Two years after eight years of unprecedented shocks to both the American "homeland" and the fixed and almost inviolate notion of American innocence... Here they come again, one after another, on the Fox mothership:

Karl.

Newt.

Rudy.

Sarah.

John Boehner.

Talking about "the people."

Talking about "individual liberty," by which they mean... well, it's no use now, talking about the unlikeliness of the Republican reinvention.

It's happened....
