Comments

Many thanks for the link, but I'm afraid that, much as I'd love to pin that quote on Hagel, he didn't say it; Leon Mosley did.

As the story says: "Soon after Hagel spoke, the acting state Republican chair--an African-American man in a white cowboy hat named Leon Mosley--urged his delegates, 'Let's remember what's paramount in our life: God ... This is the GOP: God's Official Party.'"

I think the acting state party chair is more than worthy of taking note of, obviously and however.

Doh! Thanks for the correction. Sloppy reading on my part.

Kind of makes you wonder when they're just going to go ahead and change the name of the party to "Hezbollah", doesn't it?
