Bikini mud-wrestling, DC style!

As a loyal member of the party that is best known for infighting among its own members, I can imagine all too well what the House Republicans think about this...but I have to hand it to Rep. LaTourette, what a comeback!

Rep. Dean Heller, class of 2006:

The Republican Party lost its majority in the House of Representatives in 2006, and is likely to lose more seats in November, but Nevada Republican Dean Heller says he doesn't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

"I'm of the position that we really need to clean house in this Republican Party, and I think the next couple of election cycles are going to do that," Heller said.

Republicans who should be swept out, in Heller's view, include some from the historic class of 1994, which gave the GOP a majority in the House for the first time in 40 years.

"It's an old mantra: they came to change Washington, and Washington changed them," Heller said several weeks ago. "I think we got to the point where the majority of Republicans were trying to change America and tell (Americans) what they wanted instead of listening to ... what they need."

And in response, Rep. Steve LaTourette, class of 1994:

The fact is, the Class of '94 created the longest serving Republican majority in recent history, and we didn't lose it until Dean showed up.

Eeeeeyow!
