Teabagger DeMint to challenge McConnell for Senate GOP leadership?

The sniping between the two Republican camps is less interesting than what they're sniping about: the possibility of a DeMint challenge to McConnell as Senate Republican leader. What, McConnell isn't crazy enough?

Still, it makes sense. DeMint has recently taken on the role as high-profile backer of teabagger alternatives to establishment Republicans. DeMint was one of the first major figures to endorse Marco Rubio in the Florida GOP primary, as well as Doug Hoffman in the NY-23 special election. More recently, he backed über wingnut Chuck DeVore against the establishment-backed Carly Fiorina in the GOP Senate primary in California.

Not to mention, it was DeMint's endorsement of Pat Toomey in the Pennsylvania GOP primary that may have led to Arlen Specter's defection to the Democratic Party.

Oh gawd I hope so. If he became the minority leader, DeMint would hold their kids hostage unless they voted with him.

5. Bet on DeMint.

He's a mean little fucker who will gnaw your ankles off as a last resort if he has to.

6. Yup......

He pretty much typifies where the GOP's head is at, all rouge and all. I just wonder though, how may moderate Repubs would back his play if he gets truly weird, like he did w/ Honduras.

7. I don't know.

However, I'm ready to go to Columbia and start a counter-coup if necessary.
