"Republicans Have Entered the Twighlight Zone"

Unfortunately, we have all been drug along, into Rod Sterling world.

The Progressive Daily Beacon: "Republicans Have Entered the Twighlight Zone": Full article

"It's official -- yes, official that DeLay won't seek reelection, but also that Republicans in Washington DC have become completely dissociated from the realm of reality. Imagine the edge of the universe and that distance from earth (100, 000 million million million kilometers). Now multiply that by, say, the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second, 186,000 miles per second) and you'll be in the ballpark of the distance between DC GOPers and reality.

Indeed, Republicans have officially entered the Twighlight Zone...doo-doo-dee-doo, doo-doo-dee-doo. . . .

Take for example, Tom DeLay's excuse for having given up the idea of running for reelection, 'I refuse to allow liberal Democrats an opportunity to steal this seat with a negative personal campaign,' DeLay said. Uh-huh, right -- blame the so-called 'liberal Democrats,' as if his decision to bail out had nothing to do with that orange prison jumpsuit he was being fitted for.

Add to those outlandish comments the fact that it wasn't but a week ago DeLay appeared at a 'Christian Persecution' conference and all but declared himself more persecuted than Jesus Christ himself and, too, DeLay's insistence that, '... I have always served honorably and ethically...I've never broken the law or the spirit of the law or even a House rule,' and one half expects Rod Serling himself to pop up and say, 'There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition; and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.
