Hey There Georgie Girl!

Was anybody really listening today when George Will announced that he was leaving the Republican party? Does anybody really care? Was sour grapes the color of his tie? Or perhaps the tie was to tight and it matched his completion while he had his childish little hissy fit.

For the last three decades people like Will and the Bush clan thought the Republican party was their exclusive play thing. They were convinced the rank and file voters were so in awe of his erudition and their self proclaimed wisdom, that they would never even entertain moving in any direction other than what was to be found on the pages of National Review or Weekly Standard. No matter how many times these neocon oligarchs betrayed the voters they just had no alternative but to do as they were told.

Then along comes this upstart, this political neophyte Donald Trump and upsets their little apple cart. By the time the likes of George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol were able to see beyond their own hubris and read the the desires and intentions of the rank and file it was just to damn late, for them at least.

Their shifting loyalties from Bush to Rubio to Cruz made them look even more like the power grasping assholes that the voters had already figured out they are. Worse yet for these eliteist snobs was the sudden realization that they don't really own the party and they couldn't just pick up their ball and go home like a spoiled elementary school child.

Except apparently for George Will, who apparently still thinks he has some legion of followers waiting for his next pronouncement to decide what to do. Here's a hint for you George. If that were true you wouldn't be in the position you are, because so far the public's reaction to your decleration can be summed up as "George who?"

Perhaps there is some good to come from his departure. It could also indicate that he and his ilk have recognized the futility of still trying to engineer some underhanded crap in Cleveland. Maybe he's figured out it would better to be absent and forgotten than absent and dispised.
