Well, he sure raised a firecracker, didn't he?

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the smartest Republican around these days is Meghan McCain. She spoke over the weekend to the Log Cabin Republicans, the GOP gay group (yes, never a more forlorn assemblage). Quoth the young spitfire:

"I feel too many Republicans want to cling to past successes…I think we're seeing a war brewing in the Republican Party," she said [at the Log Cabin Republicans national convention]. "But it is not between us and Democrats. It is not between us and liberals. It is between the future and the past…."

Oh. She added that old-line Republicans were "scared shitless" about the changes coming.

Meghan is correct of course, but her vision doesn't stand a chance in today's GOP. Unless Texas leaves the union. Have I mentioned that?
