Wolcott's Bug House

The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Salon | James Wolcott's Blog | Vanity Fair: "...So many male starlets have strutted the [Republican] gangplank, only to splash into the briny deep, given the nudge by political purists and the easily bored. Why, I can recall--it wasn't that long ago--when Norm Coleman was going to be the new savior, with National Review types suggesting that his inquiry into George Galloway might do for him what the Alger Hiss case did for Richard Nixon--launch him into national prominence on a wave of vindication--and then there was that other NRO man-throb crush, Rick Santorum, and the on-again off-again romance with Bobby Jindal. That anyone could ever get a tingling sensation from the beaky-geeky Tim Pawlenty is just so weird, a sign of desperation.

Further proof that the Republican Party's 'big tent' has become a bughouse."
