that is the MO Bucco.
I had a professor who viewed such antics/behavior as compensating.

I would ask for what commentary would be offered for the dems' pack of candidates when the were at the similar stumbling stage prior to the 2008 election.

I also wonder if some of the more vehement posters are not reincarnations of those who used to be so demeaning to everybody and anything that was not their party during 2007. So many have slid away, but some of the current crop has a familiar ring.
