Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson had one of those Homer Simpson moments where he said out loud what he was supposed to think silently.
From the Huffington Post, Out of the Mouths of Twits:
CARLSON: The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power.
Marty Kaplan:
I’m open to the notion that W is sincere in his identification with evangelicals. But from Rove and Frist on down, the Republican elite — as Tucker testifies — is connected to its base not by beliefs, but by contempt; is allied to its constituents not via core values, but by pure opportunism. The corporate party, the tax-cutting plutocracy, comes to power, and holds power, only by faith-based bamboozlement.
