Lying To Make Friends

With Mark Sanford crying in Argentina and Sarah Palin further revealing herself to be rather mad, the Republican party needs a new savior to lead them against the horror of Obama. After the thrashing Republicans received in November, led by record turnout by, and wide Democratic margins among, women and minorities, there’s been a lot of talk about the Republican Party being in danger of becoming a permanent minority party unless it broadened its appeal beyond white Southern dudes.

All that is a rather convoluted way of saying: I’m not too scared of this guy.

Doesn’t exactly look like the face that’s going to enlarge the tent of the GOP. Nothing says kinder and gentler like a tobacco lobbyist from Mississippi.
