GOP Sluggers

It’s been a rough year for Democratic softball.

Renegade Republicans seceded (sound familiar?) and formed their own Capitol Hill league.

The RNC beat the DNC last week.

And last night Congressional Republicans trounced Congressional Democrats 12-1 at RFK stadium. The GOP has won four in a row and 11 of their last 13.

Ouch. Maybe Democrats need to bring in reinforcements from High Times?

Hopefully for Democrats their sluggishness at the batter’s box doesn’t translate to the ballot box in November.
