Is the right dysfunctional?

That was the title for one of today's Mclaughlin Group discussions. I heard about it yesterday and was really interested in hearing what they had to say. I figured it would be good for a few chuckles. I was wrong. It was not as riveting as the title makes it sound. They did touch a good point: the right is getting into a slump, where they seem to be going into different directions without a common goal. You have the issue with the Bolton nomination, Bush's public support for him, questions in Congress, not to mention Powell's questions about the nomination, Delay's position on the Schiavo case disaster and other instances of the right digging in their heels regardless of public disapproval, i.e. Social Security Privatization. Tony Blankey from the Washington Times called it the "Second Term Slumps." No one agreed with him. The discussion was too general and fast passed for this subject. I would have liked to see something more in depth, though it did point to an outline of reasons. I figured that by this time they would have the video on their site and could give a better outline of this, but they don't. I will continue to check and update this post.

Now you know what I do with my Sundays, watch Meet the Press (which was boring this morning... analyzing the new Pope with a nun and priest who was the student of the new Pope and a pretty intelligent historian), Mcglauplin Group, Mcglauglin One on One, an afternoon of History of Jazz (great documentary by the way) a relaxing reading break and then back to PBS for a early night fix of Nature and Deep Jungle... I know, I have no life!
