Profile in Cowardice

Coreless shape-changer Willard "Etch-A-Sketch" Romney wants to be all things to all people, now that he's the presumptive nominee of the Rethuglican / New Confederate Party (which still deeply mistrusts his "severe" conservatism). The latest example of weird Willard's spinelessness was the recent sacking of his openly gay foreign policy advisor, Richard "Contra-Dick-tion" Grenell. Contra-Dick-tion is no progressive on foreign policy: as wingnut flamer John "The 'Stache" Bolton's deputy at the U.N., he's about as much of a neocon war pusher as you can get.

But, as we know, in today's Rethuglican Party, it's not what you know, where you stand, or what you believe; it's who you are, and the far right of the party couldn't abide an openly gay advisor to Willard. Of course, weird Willard could have mustered some minimal courage, had his "Sister Souljah" moment, and told the wingnut fanatics to sit on it. He didn't, and won't, just like he passed up criticizing Pills Limpballs over the Sandra Fluke smear. So ask yourselves: if he's afraid to stand up to the kooks in his own party, how will he deal with the world's bad guys?
