Giving the GOP a Goddamn Peanut

by Scott H. Payne on October 13, 2009

I know that this is the object of much laughter and ridicule at the moment,

But I think we may well have the first instance of new media inadvertently giving the elephant (or in this case, the GOP) a goddamn peanut, as Br. deBoer once so subtly put it. Accident though this no doubt is, this is largely the truth when it comes to the GOP’s current state of affairs. Instead of  embarrassed chuckling, let me offer that this ought to be a moment for a gut check and inspiration to look outside of the box for real leadership options.

I know, I know… but it’s good to have goals, right?
