Arizona Passes. In Kentucky: Ru Paul Son Wears TP Well

Politics makes stange bedfellows, the saying goes.

"Throw the Bums Out!"  Great, and fittingly throwback, slogan.

Now combine them.

You surely love the spunk of the Tea Party of Wonderland ("TP" on this blog) and their attitude of take-and-torture-prisoners, like Jack Bauer used to when he was calm.  But getting into bed with Ru Paul and his son, R& Paul?

No offense Ru, but uh huh.

And this is in Kentucky?  The place didn't allow Ru's people on its storied basketball team until last month.  Give or take.  And still won't allow women, no matter their origin, on its men's team.

And if any one exemplifies "Choice", it is Ru Paul!

Perhaps, TP doesn't care whose butt it favors as long as it TP's some establishment bum, as he/she (no pun intended) flees the political woods. They sure helped R& chase Republican-designee Trey Grayson (almost certainly the protagonist of a Stuart Woods or John Grisham novel) right back to his cozy smoke-filled room.

Wait a second?  Didn't the whole TP thing start with movable gatherings of bunches of hazing-crazed Republican frat boys? (But don't call them Greeks these days.) Well, yes, it did, but it has become so more than the still-included close encounter with a teabag and midnight snipe hunt.

TP just hates the Federal Government so much that it will travel over hundreds of miles to put the wipe on anyone wearing a lapel flag pin bearing more than 44 stars.

In fairness, some more modern-minded TP'ers accept the 2009 Republican version of the wearable Stars and Stripes, which sports 49 tiny stars, the island Hawaii being considered part of Indonesia.

And the colorful gray Stars and Bars lapel pin, with its barely noticeable silver medal finish, is always cheered at TP port-a-rallies.

So it is that R& Paul will be gunning (metaphorically one hopes) for a Socialist (TP for "Democrat") bureaucrat in November.  Any of you Democrats thinking you can Obalm Kentucky are in for a very rude awakening.

That will be Ru and R& Paul snoring right beside you.
