The Tea Pits

This just hit me, while I was commenting at Vixen Strangely's blog (seriously, you've got to read her, she's awesome). There is a lot of buzz about the impending extinction of the establishment Republican party. There is a visible rift between the old guard and the freshman firebrand, and such a rift could kill the party off entirely. Put snarkily, the GOP elephant is hopelessly mired in The Tea Pits.
