GOP's Ship of Fools

Who will be the Republicans’
Rahm Emanuel in 2010?

  

Sarah Walking

I thought this Daily Caller skit was a parody, a joke ... a put-on. Who will be credited for this election's success...?

The top names mentioned by the more than two dozen political insiders – most of them Republicans – were Karl Rove, Haley Barbour and Ed Gillespie, overshadowing the heads of the campaign committees, Texas Rep. Pete Sessions and Texas Sen. John Cornyn. Sessions and Cornyn ... .

Fortunately, the piece goes on to blow-off all Republican nabobs as having little, if any positive impact - save possibly for Jim DeMint.  In truth, the uprising was/is the result of  a body politic combustion waiting to happen, and ignited by  Rick Santelli's rant on CNBC.  The only two mentioned  with real street cred are (+)Sarah Palin and (-)Barack Obama.  I think that Sarah Palin's treatment by the GOP, and her subsequent iconoclasticism may have influenced Santelli.  So, to the extent that any one person deserves singling out, it is she.  Long live the revolution.
