Dana’s DC idea
Say what you will about Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. Love him or hate him, he’s always interesting.

I spent most of it slack-jawed as he unloaded on his fellow Republican. It’s not something that happens every day, and certainly not since Tom DeLay’s or Newt Gingrich’s reign over the GOP, political machines that prided themselves on keeping the representatives in line to the extent that they sounded mostly like robots to me.
