The various Republican responses to the State of the Union speech brought something sharply into focus: Every time the Grand Oligarch's Party sends someone out to debate, attack, or counter President Obama, I'm reminded of a scene from Troy.
Early in the movie, Achilles (Brad Pitt), is to battle, mano y mano, with the best the other side has to offer. Of course, because he's Achilles and Brad Pitt, he dispatches his larger, seemingly more powerful rival with shocking ease and an almost carefree nonchalance. Then, he stands facing the rest of the enemy army and says, challenging and mocking them in the same breath, "Is there no one else? Is there no one else?"
Mitt "I Really Didn't Want To Be President Anyway" Romney?
Marco "Always Remember To Hydrate" Rubio?
Rand "Yes, By God, I Believe This Shit!" Paul?
John "Weepy" Boehner?
Mitch "Corn Pone" McConnell?
John "Did I Mention I Was A POW?" McCain?
Lindsey "Belle of the South" Graham?
"Is there no one else?"
