What the hell is wrong with Republicans? The computer analogies.
William Kristol -- plenty of raw processing power but a corrupt OS.

GW Bush -- fried his chips.

Sarah Palin -- not nearly enough RAM.

Michelle Bachman insufficient disk space and highly fragmented files.

Poor Ted Stevens -- the TRS 80.

Richard Steele -- Chinese generic computer purchased on line with no software installed.

Larry Craig, David Vitters, Mark Sanford, and John Ensign -- configured only for gaming.

*** feel free to add your own ***

=======================

Tip of the hat to eppur_se_muova for the Bill Kristol analogy.

19. Richard Steele -- Chinese generic computer purchased on line with no software installed.
Hey, I take exception to that! That's every computer I've ever owned! Well, probably Taiwanese instead of Chinese, but I've built every computer I've ever had, and they're better and cheaper than a comparable spec PC you can get off the shelf anywhere.

21. Tony Blair...
Seemed to be an up-to-date and efficient model when it came on the market in 1997, but soon its hard disc was reformated by the dangerous 'Tory in Disguise' virus, which also left it vulnerable to the 'George Bush' Trojan. It is sometimes referred to as 'Thatcher 2.0'.
