Silliness lays on the modern GOP like Jules Joseph Lefebvre’s Odalisque lays on a bunch of pillows.
At times it is tough to tell if that silliness is just an outworking of basic stupidity (Hube), some kind of “too clever by half” strategy (Burris), or a sign that someone has just plain given up (Copeland).
I put Copeland in that quitter category because, as Tommywonk points out, his silliness is just plain silly.
