On C-SPAN I’m watching James Inhofe--possessor, by consensus, of the lowest IQ in the Senate--warn the Republican base that Socialist Democrats are planning to muzzle the drug-addled Rush Limbaugh and the dim-witted Sean Hannity by re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine. I’m not sure how Pelosi and Reid should play this, but they need to understand the opposition party.
In terms of an effective governing philosophy, the Republicans bring nothing to the table. Any "compromises" that Democrats find necessary must be accompanied by a clear rejection of the GOP's phony "freedom" agenda. This is critical to any hope of cleaning up Bush's unholy mess.
The Fairness Doctrine should come back, but it’s not worth the distraction of Wingnut Armageddon.
