This Rev Wright shit --
Does anyone really believe the GOP wanted to throw this bullshit against the wall in late fucking April?
I myself am not so sure.
Late spring/early summer is really a strange time for all this to be blowing up.
Here's my guess. The GOP nationally and in the states knows that on the fundamentals and on the issues they are in for a bloodbath. Unless something drastic happens.
I think the Wright stuff is a wild fling, a desperate last prayer for a haymaker.
Look, it's a pretty good punch. But. There's no reason to throw a punch like that this early in the game... unless that's all you got.
And that's all they got.
UPDATE: Finally got around to seeing the last Sopranos episode. In five years I'll tell you what I thought of it.
UPDATE: Some person who likes to draw pictures of squirrels with great big swelling tits would like to inform you of his well-considered thoughts about how the "gals" at Feministe are misguided as to women's rights.
