Some Notes On Symbols
Note to John McCain: if you’re going to pluck someone out of the seething masses and hold him up as an icon in front of millions of people, you should vet that person first.
Note to political parties in general: If you put someone forth as symbolic of your party and its values, people will — for good or ill — pay attention to him thereafter.
Note to Republicans specifically: You created your own image problem and it’s a doozy.
