‘This House Has Sho’ Gone Crazy!’
This campaign season so far has been the most volatile I think I have ever seen in my forty-plus years of following elections. Last fall I announced here that I would stop trying to predict what would happen next because I had a sense that this campaign would not be like any other I had witnessed and that, therefore, anything was possible. To pat myself on the back: I was dead on the money. What a roller coaster ride it has been and I don’t see an end to it anytime before the November.
This madness has invaded many relationships between those on the Right as well. The level of invective between conservatives has been especially explosive.
Every time some unexpected twist or turn happens [in other words: every day or two], I picture the black cook in that Three Stooge’s short where they wreck a rich couple’s house while they pretend to be plumbers. When all Hell is braking loose and water is coming out of the gas jets on the stove and the clock, the fellow looks around at all the chaos and remarks: ‘This house has sho’ gone crazy!’.
Stacy McCain has been chronicling some of the madness over the past few days in a couple of posts that illustrate just how potty this whole season has been.
-Yesterday he reported on a raging dispute between Quin Hillyer and Jeffrey Lord over at The America Spectator. A highlight:
If Lord and Hillyer cross paths at CPAC next week, the fight is likely to be far more interesting than any speech or seminar at the conference.
If these two men [full disclosure: Quin is a friend] were living in the early 19th Century, their seconds would have already met by now to make arrangements.
Please do take the time to click here and read the full post, if anything for the great quote from Nathan Bedford Forrest.
-In an earlier post that same day, Stacy, while reporting on his adventures, cites several more instances of the lunacy of mind that has gripped so many people this election season.
Considering all the vitriol and vilification that has been and continues to be spewed between people on the Right, one has to wonder if some alliances and friendships have been permanently torn asunder, never to be repaired.
