So much for the Brian-Sandoval-for-Vice-President campaign.
We cats have had a gay old time these last couple of days, watching the Republicans who rushed to place a halo on Cliven Bundy's head now have to backtrack like crazy to disavow him. The focus of the turnaround has been on the likes of Sean Hannity and Rand Paul, with good reason. But there are a couple of other GOP bright lights who've had mud splashed on them as well.
We're taking particular satisfaction in the embarrassment of Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, who back before Bundy revealed himself to be a racist pig, spoke sanctimoniously about "cows" and "intimidation."
This was silly of Sandoval to do in the first place, because in addition to being a hatemonger, Bundy always was a government-subsidy abuser. (Far worse than those "Negroes" he so bizarrely riffed on to Adam Nagourney of The New York Times.) But with the fallout from their embrace of Bundy just beginning, Republican insiders who were secretly hoping that Sandoval could help the GOP ticket appeal to Hispanics in 2016 must be deflating like old balloons.
Yep, Brian's gone from cows to cow dung in pretty quick fashion. We cats PURR.
