I have no idea where this came from, but I think it’s pretty cool. From a a list of “10 Right-Winger Being Prepped To Take Over the Conservative Movement”:
6. Erik ‘E.D.’ Kain, The Washington Examiner
“The Apostate”
Approximate Age: 29
Accomplishments: The only reason Kain is not widely loathed by his conservative brethren is that he is not, for the moment, widely known. He’s got a touch of the wingnut (“pro-life across the board”) but is anti-war, anti-torture and anti-death penalty. And if that isn’t enough, Kain wants to cut defense spending, which aligns him with, of all people, Alan Grayson. He has so far collected one antagonist of note: Robert Stacy McCain of “Emmett Till had it coming” fame.
Fun Fact: He’s so goddamn reasonable as to be unquotable.
Antecedent: Kain’s pulled a neat trick. He’s essentially David Frum: The Next Generation. But unlike Frum, Kain has nothing to apologize for.
