Creeps

The Tea people lose; the corrupt Old Guard remain
     Predictably, the Usual Suspects are playing hardball in the election for chairman of the county GOP: O.C. GOP leadership battle escalates (OC Register). As you know, straight-arrow populist (and perhaps tea-loving) Republican Tim Whitacre is challenging the usual corrupt leadership—in particular, Scott Baugh, a lobbyist, who took over from Tom Fuentes back in 2004.
     At the last minute, they’ve released information concerning Tim Whitacre’s allegedly shaky finances.
     Check out Matt Cunningham's contribution.
     Creeps.

P.S.: our pal Vern at the OJ Blog is singing our praises:

The machine lives.
UPDATE:

Baugh retains O.C. GOP chairmanship (OC Reg)
“Our chairman has served us with distinction and success,” said Tom Fuentes – Baugh’s predecessor – in his nominating statement. “We need him at this time.”
Drat.

Thinking of Tom Fuentes and his views about lawns
