"....................All this tells a considerable amount about what passes for the unremarkable inside the Washington establishment. For Feehery spends his time continually attacking conservatives. There was this open letter attack on Rush Limbaugh in Politico in which he snarked:
Congratulations! You have been selected by the Obama administration, the mainstream media and 20 million of your most passionate followers to be the new head of the Republican Party.
As such, you are given all the rights and responsibilities that come with being a true political leader.
Your mission is simple: Restore the Republican Party to its former greatness by single-handedly helping Republicans to regain control of Congress and to offer a reasonable and viable alternative to President Barack Obama.
Ironically, snark aside, that mission has now been accomplished. With no small thanks to, yes, talk radio and conservatives in the media, the GOP in fact now has control of Congress.
In this jewel of a blog post Feehery opined in a headline that “The Tea Party Must Be Crushed.” So much for the Reaganite base of the party. Or another blog post here supporting “Amnesty for Amnesty.” And so it goes — there are more of these “Feehery Theories” out there. But Feehery personally isn’t the issue. The issue here is as Ed Gillespie nails it — the growing role of the “influence economy” of which Scalise’s ties to Feehery are merely but the latest representation. Over at Breitbart the story emerged that House conservatives were very concerned that Scalise was merely all about himself and his power.
Scalise may well hang on to his whip, and the idea that he is a racist is false. The reality is that Scalise is, as repeated stories have illustrated, merely another Washington power broker who — as noted in Newsmax — will “talk to anyone.”...

“bal” as in Ball.
Oops.
Only a few of them are what they claim to be, and they hate those who actually are.
For Feehery spends his time continually attacking conservatives.
with guys like this as GOP power player it makes one feel like voting GOP...not!
might as well let the Democrats win as they’ll hate you to your face and not stab you in the back while promising love like the GOP does to Conservatives.
This guy Feehery has no keen political insights that I could detect from his blog.
Don’t waste your time. It’s time you’ll never get back.
Meanwhile......
The Left is going to do everything to wrap Scalise in a KKK robe and then paint him “Tea Party.”
Jeffery Lord and Charlie Spiering know he’s GOPe. If I’m out to lunch on this, please educate me.
The left and their friends in the mainstream media will whip this non-story into a media frenzy over the next several weeks. They need to manufacture a major scandal involving Republicans in or to divert attention from what is about to explode into a real scandal: Bill Clinton cavorting with his pedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein. This story couldn’t happen at a worse time for Hillary, so it must be squashed.
