Times Watch Quotes of Note - The Tea Party's 'War on Competence and Professionalism':

“By latching on to O’Donnell’s growing presence, the Rove-Boehner-McConnell establishment can claim it represents struggling middle-class Tea Partiers rather than Wall Street potentates and corporate titans. O’Donnell’s value is the same as that other useful idiot, Michael Steele, who remains at the Republican National Committee only because he can wave the banner of ‘diversity’ over a virtually all-white party that alternately demonizes African-Americans, Latinos, gays and Muslims.” -- From Frank Rich’s column of October 3."
