It doesn’t matter what side of a battle you’re on, if the other side is putting on a show to the tune of pomp and circumstance, you’re not just going to make note; you’re going to make fun. It’s what we do.
An old guy talks to a chair; a candidate malaprops a speech; a wife says too much; a rebutter gives water a bad name, it’s all fodder for that great American tradition of skewering our opponents in search of blood. The GOP does it to the Dems and the Dems do it right back. It’s like the Sharks and Jets only with social media and sound bites instead of shivs and really good dancing.
But even at a time when false equivalencies are routinely granted the heft of truth, it’s impossible to view an event such as this week’s CPAC and not find a myriad of moments that stand out in their sheer absurdity. While objective comment can be difficult from the other side of the divide, it’s not impossible, particularly when the players on stage are carny characters like Ann Coulter, Allen West, Sarah Palin and even the rising anointed, Rand Paul. One suspects even some on their side are secretly shaking their heads and wishing a sinkhole would open up somewhere near the podium.
