For Those Who Haven't Been Paying Attention

to the Georgia primary, rejoice that there exists on the planet at least one spot where sense rules insanity. Ralph Reed, the poster boy for the psycho right and recent financial buddy to Jack Abramoff lost by 12% of the vote to GA state senator Casey Cagle in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor.

Reed was his characteristically insane self, rallying his hapless supporters with the cry that "our values will win in November."

For those who forget what those values are, apparently they include taking money from gambling sources to help defeat a state-wide lottery plan without letting your anti-gambling allies know where the money came from.

Would that be . . . lying, Ralph?
