The GOP's Sista Soulja Moment?

For those of you who, uhm, aren't old, Sista Soulja was an ancillary member of the Greatest Hip-Hop Group of All Time who, in 1992, made some very mean comments about how black people should take a week off from killing each other to kill white people instead.  That kind of statement wasn't that out of left field in the glorious world of post Golden Age hip hop, and Sista Soulja probably would have faded into Bolivian if not for the actions of a young Arkansas governor.

At a very public event for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, Bill Clinton criticized Soulja's comments and Jackson for allowing her to continue to work with the Rainbow Coalition.  The incident continues to be referenced whenever a national political figure tries to put his or her party's base in their place.  When you have a Sista Soulja moment, you try to reassure the bulk of the American people that, although you share the same party with the crazies, you know they're crazy, and you know how to keep them under control.*

Well, doesn't that sound like exactly the kind of thing the GOP could use right now?  That's all I could think of reading how some nonentity GOP congressman is watching the State of the Union with noted insane person Ted Nugent.  If I'm Ricky Rubio** or Paul Ryan and I have my eyes on the 2016 prize, opportunities like these are exactly what I am looking for.  Maybe it's too early to start regulating the Tea Party wack jobs, but, like, TED NUGENT, people.  Low hanging fruit with no negative repercussions for giving him a little chin music.

**Yes, that's what we're calling him.
