The future of the Republican party is a 13 year-old kid from Georgia named Jonathan Krohn

I haven't made mention of it previously, but there was a convention of sorts this week that brought together the very elements of the Republican Party that are destroying it, the Sarah Palin/Joe the Plumber extra chromosome faction of the extreme right wing, at the annual CPAC meeting held in Washington DC. This is where all of the kookiest of kooks get together to wring their hands over the nation's lack of Jesus, tax cuts, and, naturally, abortion. Or "infanticide," which seems to be their new favorite term for it. Regardless, it's all about abortion for these idiots. But whatever. Even Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal skipped out on appearing at this freakshow, so take that for what it's worth. To get an idea of the insanity level of CPAC's attendees, check out Wonkette's post on how Tucker Carlson was almost lynched by an angry mob for offering faint praise of the New York Times.

Now, I've passed on posting anything about CPAC thus far, mainly because I've intentionally tried to ignore the thing because it just kind of depresses me, but there is one aspect of CPAC that I just can't ignore....the unveiling of the far right wing's new great hope, 13 year-old Jonathan Krohn, author of the book "Defining Conservatism."



I'd bet a kidney that this kid is home-schooled.
