Prepuce Bitten At Wingnut Conference

On Saturday, we noted snowbilly grifter / word salad shooter Sarah "Winky" Palin's thought provoking perfomance at this past weekend's rage against minorities/ gays/ progressives "Faith and Freedumb Coalition Conference" that whipped the assembled crackpots into a lather.  The same can't be said for Rethuglican National Committee chair and snarl master Reince "Prepuce" Priebus, who left the fevered crackpots somewhat cooler.  Despite his lame offerings to the crowd, they didn't see him as a fellow wingnut.

The Prepuce Problem is a reflection of the divide in the Rethug ranks between what Michael Tomasky calls "teavangelical" and establishment corporate bidness-boosters.  Immigration is the key barrier, with the teavangelists wanting to kick the undocumented immigrants out entirely ("no amnesty"), and the establishment Rethugs, who want the immigrants for economic reasons (and in hopes of peeling off a few votes).  The Prepuce Problem reflects the difficulty in reconciling the corporate conservative viewpoint with the batsh*t insane far-right viewpoint, and presenting it to the general public as an appealing, coherent message.  It didn't work in 2008 and 2012, and it won't work in 2016 and beyond.
