Ken Mehlman, marriage counselor
On Friday night, the Republicans brought in RNC Chair Ken Mehlman to try to reconcile the anti-C and pro-C sides of the Republican party. Many of you will remember Ken as the guy who goes on Meet The Press to tell fairy tales about Scooter Libby and Karl Rove.
The fact is, party disunity is a fact of life. Democrats have long been a coalition of pro-union, pro-environment and pro-choice groups. And the Republicans have always been divided evenly between secular anti-government forces and religious radicals. (Although given Bush's fiscal recklessness, a whole lot of the anti-government folks are switching parties or voting libertarian.) The magic ingredient that keeps everybody happy? Winning.
