Get thee behind me, Charles Krauthammer. I renounce you and all your works.
Tuesday in Delaware was a bad day not only for Republicans but also for conservatives. Tea partier Christine O’Donnell scored a stunning victory over establishment Republican Mike Castle. Stunning but Pyrrhic. The very people who have most alerted the country to the perils of President Barack Obama’s social democratic agenda may have just made it impossible for Republicans to retake the Senate and definitively stop that agenda,
he says in today’s Chi Trib, playing the tempter.
He just knows this to be true. No chance for her, he would like to say, but as a pundit he must cover options, so to O’Reilly he said one in ten.
I say he believes it but is also repelled by the woman, who is socially conservative and un-Harvard-like in ways he finds repellent. Like Sarah Palin.
These women do not fit into his worldview except as viewed from the tip of one’s nose, head down slightly, just enough to make his point.
Sorry, Charles, you do not speak to my condition, I being for many months in a life of quiet desperation, politically speaking.
Later great (second) thought: Another interpretation is possible: Charles wants Obama held up at the pass so much that he’s extremely exercised about what he considers blowing the opportunity. Which makes him too much the rational thinker, not enough the romantic. The O’Donnell nomination is pressing Tea Party luck — too far, he says. But this is no time to be squeamish, say the gung-ho revolutionaries, or at least rebellion-pushers. Among which am I.

He’s an RNC puppet, Jim. All his intelligence is wasted on political whoredom. Karl Rove just denounced O’Donnell as not having a chance (i.e., he had supported Castle, and is a sore loser), and so Kraut is just doing his bosses’ bidding. These guys would rather see the Party lose, than let the Tea Partiers win. Then again, Rove, Kraut, & Co. never gave a damn about the base, beyond taking their votes for granted. If America is lost, Bush, Rove, Kraut, & Co. will be as much to blame as “Obama,” Axelrod, & Co.

Kraut (I like that) has no sympathy for social conservatism and leans pessimistic on all else. He’s gloomy and determined never to be over-optimistic. Something of a classist also, as I imply in my blog item, certainly a great absorber of data and organizer of same, able to spell (if not spit) it out to good effect on short notice. Intimidating until you (I) begin to see his point of view and tendencies. Then he becomes hard to believe. Too much of a good thing.
