Tennessee Republican Congressman (and gubernatorial candidate in the state's Republican primary) Zack Wamp lauds Texas governor Rick Perry as a "patriot" for urging secession if healthcare reform isn't repealed by 2012. Certainly an interesting and innovative use of the word.
Meanwhile, there's increasing evidence that, if the Republicans gain control of Congress later this year, they plan to pursue impeachment of President Obama.
Fasten your seatbelts, as Bette Davis' character memorably remarked in All About Eve. If control of Congress changes, it's going to be a wild and crazy next 2 years.
