All those talented child actors in Gaza have distracted me from the really important news question, namely: which poor bastard is going to be the new RNC pinata chairman?
Because let’s face it, “chairwoman” ain’t happening in today’s RNC.
According to those fact-checking, accountable bloggers at the Politico:
“Some people are pissed off at [Americans for Tax Reform President] Grover [Norquist]. Some people are pissed off at the Conservative Steering Committee. Some people are pissed off at [current RNC chair] Mike Duncan. Some people are pissed off at social conservatives. The social conservatives are pissed at leaders in Congress,” said a Republican consultant who has worked with the RNC. “Everyone is basically pissed.”
Welcome to our world, bitches! I personally have been pissed at Grover Norquist for a while, and not just for playing financial grab-ass with Hezbollah et al.
So, who’s up?
- Current RNC chair and complete nobody Mike Duncan
- Ken Blackwell, that Ohio electoral douchebag
- Michael Steele, former Lt Governor of Maryland and alleged Oreo cookie assault victim
- Chip Saltsman, hoping to ingratiate himself with the RNC membership, sent them some wonderful Christmas songs like Barack the Magic Negro
- Saul Anuzis, who sounds like a nice enough guy, but the tipper for me was that his name, to my Dyslexic eyes, anagrams as “Anus Nazis”
- Katon Dawson, that guy who was a member of Forest Lake, a whites-only golf club
More about that from the National Review Online’s the Campaign Spot:
“Allies of Katon Dawson, the South Carolina Republican Party state chair, have an objection to this post, suggesting that it ends with a “sensationalist question,” namely, “could the media resist harping on an RNC chair who once belonged to a club that wouldn’t admit the 44th President of the United States?”
In a nutshell, Dawson’s story is that he tried to change the system from within and, upon discovering he could not sway his fellow white golfers, he resigned his membership in protest. Admirable stuff, except it seems to have taken an awfully long time:
“The media will ask, not unreasonably, how it took Dawson eleven years to notice the club had no African-American members. It is good to object to discriminatory policies, but those less inclined to give Dawson the benefit of the doubt than I will note that his objection came in August and his resignation came in late September of this year, a very short time before he began his campaign for RNC chair.” [emphasis mine]
I think you’ll agree, they’re all winners! Help them, Mittens Kenobi, you’re their only hope.
