No, that wretched, God-awful smell is just the enormous and rapidly growing mountain of Republican bullshit that is piling up all over the country around FOX News and CNBC anchor desks, in the offices of nutty right-wing Governors of Alaska, at cable news studios where Michele Bachmann shows up and anywhere Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh have been over the past three months.

Don't worry that stench you smell isn't lingering because you forgot to take the garbage out last night. And no, it isn't some sort of sewer problem down the block. It's not even that annoying dog next door that won't stop pooping on your front lawn.

Sadly, David Frum's shovel is not big enough to clean all of it up. In fact, as we've already seen, it isn't even big enough to just clean up Limbaugh's portion of the pile.

Whether it's just the somewhat harmless verbal diarrhea of Michael Steele or the enormous, squeezed out turds of FOX News, the GOP is committed to making Mt. Rush-Limbaugh-More the largest, crappiest and stinkiest mountain on the planet.

As a proud liberal and Democrat I should welcome this seemingly endless supply of Republican insanity - and in those respects, I do. But as an American and as a liberal blogger this ever expanding pile of poop from my country's second largest political party isn't any fun at all.

It may be shocking to hear that thisRepublican mess isn't any fun for a liberal blogger, but we'll get to that in a moment. First, as an American, it is truly upsetting that only one of our two major parties consists of at least a veto-proof majority of sane people. The other one is running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, creating budgets with no numbers, screaming about the coming end of the dollar, calling for an anti-Marxist revolution and having their henchmen broadcast, in the so-called mainstream media that the Obama Administration "doesn't mind" the use of Islamic Sharia Law in the U.S. No true patriot would ever wish these circumstances on his own country, that part is obvious.

What isn't quite so apparent is why, as a liberal blogger, I would not thoroughly enjoy a complete conservative meltdown. The answer is that the size of this mountain of bullshit really is what is bumming me out, not just the simple fact that its there. Why? Because I am only one human being, and Mt. Rush-Limbaugh-More is too huge for one humble blogger to cover.

"Well," you might say "why don't you just focus on one or two turds in the pile of crap instead of focusing on the whole stinking pile?"

Good question, but I am trying - in fact we are trying, but it's coming too fast and the story keeps changing. Last night is a perfect example, as I sat down to write a piece about the hypocrisy of the Republican reaction to the recount in Minnesota, and their completely baseless claims of election theft in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, they suddenly start hyperventilating and making things up about the Congressional race in New York's 20th District. Upon finishing the piece the new GOP story would have made it obsolete.

Another example from earlier this week: our very own Michael Sweeney posted an excellent piece about the lack of numbers in the Republican Budget proposal, but before his story was even 24 hours old the GOP was already out with a second budget that was so moronic it was described as a fantastic April Fools joke.

These guys are finding a new way to screw the same thing up every 24 hours! With a real job and as much of a social life as a political blogger can possibly have, how am I supposed to keep up with this bunch of jokers?

At least during the campaign, there were really only two bumbling and fumbling Republicans to keep an eye on, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber...and oh, that guy John...from Arizona...he was Palin's running mate if I remember correctly...right...what was his last name again?

Now, instead of two or three Republicans slowly, but steadily shoveling the bullshit onto their little hill we have a gaggle of GOPers frantically heaving rotten, stinking piles of poop onto their now-gigantic mountain of bullshit.

It wasn't too long ago that, while I disagreed with what the far right was talking about, I could at least safely assume that most of them knew what planet they were on. But now, From Glenn Beck to Bill O'Reilly, from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann, from John Boehner to Eric Cantor and from Michael Steele to Dick Cheney, the far right is a collection of stark-raving nuts.

The only logical conclusion to be drawn from the massive Mt. Rush-Limbaugh-More is that eventually it will become as large as that other monument with a similar name in South Dakota and they'll be able to sculpt the faces of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Mr. Limbaugh himself into it. As of this writing, I think they're only a couple truck loads away from achieving that goal.
