Reihan: Larison on the Depressed, Drunken Blue Elephant

Possibly the most entertaining thing you will read all day. After taking a gander at next year's RNC logo, our favorite Byzantinist writes the following:

Is the message of this logo that the Republican Party is drunk (the stars)? Depressed (hence the blue)? Insane? Perhaps the message is that the party’s being chopped to pieces, or gradually erased from existence and disappearing into the background?

"the party’s being chopped to pieces, or gradually erased from existence and disappearing into the background"
From your blog to God's ears.
(Over at Crooks and Liars, they note that that elephant has an awfully wide stance as well.)

The elephant also has a peculiarly wide stance -- but maybe that's required when you're a Republican in Minneapolis.

Forget just where I saw this but somewhere there's a reproduction of that LOGO with the suggestion that the elephant was 'assuming the position' to be buggered. Didn't account for the starry eye-socket though...
