I went back and read a few of her recent columns. The context in most of them: Please, PLEASE, PLEASE lock the Tea Party crazies in the attic until after 2016.

But IIRC, in one column she also identified the problem with that strategy - those crazies were elected from very "safe" districts. Often districts where they clobbered the mainstream GOP candidate. So whenever the RNC tries to silence or sideline one of the lunatics, they get a stream of abuse from their even crazier constituents.

This should make for an entertaining election season. We're going to get lots of nauseating TV appearances by weasels like Lindsey Graham and Scott Walker trying to look "presidential." Followed immediately by some GOP loon demanding that we outsource the National Park Service to Wal-Mart or change the name of Washington DC to "Jesus."
