Nobody here but us chickens?

I hate to point and laugh at Mitch McConnell's preliminary palooka, but the claim that Matt Bevin was "shocked, just shocked" that cockfighting would be going on at an event hosted by the Gamefowl Defense Network, and then defends the practice as being a fine American tradition is a fascinating display of the principal that the problem with fence-straddling is the bloody pickets.

But it does make me a little wistful for the heyday of the Tea Party. If they were still partying like it was 2010, the "throw the bums out" wave might have overshadowed the appearance of McConnell's opponent being somewhat unfettered by feck.
