Check out these two videos from Tuesday and tell me with a straight face that the Republican Party isn't a joke. The first is Governor Mark Sanford laughing at the notion of Sarah Palin as the "future of the party", and the second is of John McCain yukking it up when asked by a reporter whether he will be in the 2012 mix. Finally, there's something I can agree with the GOP on: As of now, their 2012 prospects are literally laughable.
