You gotta love the modern day Republican party in Colorado - and most other places - for that matter. And yes, I do use modern advisedly. It's current leader Bob Schaffer for Senate scapegoat, Dicky "Macaca" Wadhams, is a prime example of their never forget/never learn/no regrets philosophy. They really do make you doubt Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Wadhams' obstinacy is on full display in this Denver Post profile of Colorado's two party chairs, where it's quite obvious who is the far more attractive leader, Democrat Pat Waak. Here's Wadhams on the biggest political flameout in years: Wadhams was asked about the “lessons” from the Virginia race. He was blunt and brief. “Really didn’t learn anything from it, other than the candidate shouldn’t say stupid things in public,” said Wadhams. “I don’t think there much mystery to it. That’s all I have to say about it.” Pressed further, he said, “We could take up the entire day talking about the Virginia Senate race. I’d rather talk about the Democratic National Convention, O.K.?”
Defensive much, Dick? (And just to keep the Google happy, here's a link to the infamous "it", which really should be the top hit when you search "macaca", hint hint). For $15,000 a month I would think Republican "Big Oil" Bob Schaffer could get a little more substantial advice from a Rove protege. But you have to admire Republicans' blind stubbornness sometimes. It has served Colorado Republicans well in the past. It's looking like they'll keep this up at least through November, when Wadhams and Schaffer will both have to look for a new jobs after being rejected by Colorado's voters. And the lessons learned then will surely be, once again, none.
