My own opinion is that, by refusing to support the American automobile industry -- on which some 2 million jobs depend -- the Torture Party has pretty much made the Second Great Depression, for which they've been working so hard for decades, a certainty.
But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. Make sure you read David Brooks today, for a very clever defense of the Republican position.
Update: Uh-oh. Dick Cheney apparently agrees with me:
Bush personally lobbied recalcitrant Senate Republicans after Vice President Dick Cheney failed to round up support Wednesday during a contentious two-hour meeting.
"If we don't do this, we will be known as the party of Herbert Hoover forever," Cheney told them, according to a Senate Republican aide, evoking the president whose inaction is widely blamed for helping trigger the Great Depression in the early 1930s.
