GOP punts with Blunt

I was going to blog about the 11th hour replacement of heir apparent David Drier in favor of Roy Blunt to replace the disgraced Tom DeLay, but Kevin Hayden beat me to it and took the words right out of my mouth.

Kevin is right of course. "It's the cronyism stupid" and it speaks volumes about the disgraceful state of our political system that incestuous ties to K Street are a plus when one is reaching for GOP power. As to Drier's having been shot down for being too moderate, one has to wonder if the buzz about his covert sexual orientation, that almost immediately started to circulate on the internet, wasn't the real reason.
