Be the change you want to see. I'd love for a sane conservative voice to be expressed, but they've mostly been weeded out of the political and media spheres, and now only retired senators seem to be willing to act sane. Adak may be an extremist, but he's mainstream as far as the Republican Party these days is concerned.

And, as an aside, if you want to see someone beating up on Obama every bit as much as he beat up on Bush, try Ted Rall.

I wish. But the non-Adaks are deferring towards the Adaks of the party, not the other way round.
