Hell, Republicans are in a filthy, louse-infested bed with a freaking five-time draft-dodging casino hustling groin grabber. He is hardly a family-values role model of courage. But that's what they value. That's what they embrace.

Their political cowardice will serve them poorly.

As will be just.
