Watching U.S. politics nowadays must be what Alice in Wonderland experienced when she first crawled through the rabbit hole. She entered a world of crazy where up is down and down is up and not much made sense unless you were flying high on crystal meth. Nothing wrong with a little crazy now and then until you reach the point where crazy becomes the norm.  Crazy has now become the norm in American politics.

A blogger at TakeMyCountryBack makes the point by quoting a passage from the Adam Sandler flic Billy Madison.

“Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Tune in to Fox News on any given evening or listen to what Boehner, O’Donnell or Palin has to say and you would be completely justified in saying the same.  Our blogger sums it up nicely.

America, we are currently facing dangerous times. A time where republicans are voting for folks who are so unbelievably unqualified for political office that we might as well elect Billy Madison.  [...]  Knowing that FOX has the largest viewership of any cable news channel is downright horrifying. They know what they are doing and they know that their audience does not. It is classic bait and switch and true snake oil salesman tactics on a massive scale. And lest you be fooled, it is working very well. Christine O’Donnell was a nobody last week, like Sarah Palin was once. An opportunist empty vessel who would jump onto any bandwagon for their own personal gain. And they are gaining. They are winning in the popular vote and in today’s breakneck media pace that is all that counts.

And his advice to you all.

In November, when Dems get to vote as well, it is my prayer that we show up and show up strong. We cannot allow people like O’Donnell or anyone that FOX promotes to become powerful. To do so vindicates the Billy Madison’s of the world and makes those who criticize them the stupid ones. It turns the world upside down and to right it will take a herculean effort. We have to stop it from happening and say this November as loudly as we can: Billy we’ve ”had to listen to your jawing for too long…Blah, blah, blah! Just shut up!”

Lewis Carroll would understand only too well.
