Michaael Steele said that it`s time for the Republicans to "look forward" and get over taking responsibility for past mistakes (a paraphrase, but I`m not going to look up his exact words). When did they ever take responsibility for their mistakes or, in the case of the shrub, even admit making them?

Sometimes the Onion is closer to reality than the truth itself.

True - and I absolutely love "Trickle, the supply-side mascot."

Maybe that should be "tinkle down" economics instead.
