Nail in Coffin?

A domestic centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda for a second Bush term is getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Link.
Really? That's the best news I've heard all day! Here's why:

1. The mere idea of abolishing the IRS scare the bejeezus out of me and, I expect, millions of other sane Americans. Thanks for the swing voters guys!

2. If Bush does get re-elected due to some screw up with Diebold voting machines, this is exactly the kind of inane maneuver that will throw Congress into four years of gridlock and prevent his administration from screwing everything else up.

Mr. Hastert: Two thumbs up.

Kevin Drum hits on the technical problems with the Republican proposal if you're interested.
