"Republicans being against sex is not good. Sex is popular.” -- GOP strategist Alex Castellanos

Ghastly Outdated Party

IT’S finally sinking in.

Republicans are getting queasy at the gruesome sight of their party eating itself alive, savaging the brand in ways that will long resonate.

“Republicans being against sex is not good,” the G.O.P. strategist Alex Castellanos told me mournfully. “Sex is popular.”

He said his party is “coming to grips with a weaker field than we’d all want” and going through the five stages of grief. “We’re at No. 4,” he said. (Depression.) “We’ve still got one to go.” (Acceptance.)

5. Suffer more, pal. You set these f***ers loose.

You guys rose to power to the tune of dog whistles, demagoguery, and demonization.
You, Castellanos, are a strategist. If you didn't see this coming long ago, it shows how lousy a strategist you are.

9. When Gingrinch took his public vow of no more adultery

a couple months ago, it struck me that if I were writing the headline, it would have said

Obese 68-year-old promises to stop cheating on current wife

That's why I am a professor instead of a newspaper editor.
