Given the alternate reality in which the GOP lives and operates, this picture from today's Columbus Dispatch appears to be a carefully staged perversion of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper.
Paul Ryan is Jesus holding forth with the gospel of GOP orthodoxy, which requires sacrifice by all but the super-rich.
A man, Clarence Mingo, sits at Ryan's right hand ready to do his bidding without question. A woman, Anne Gonzales sits to his left (sinister) side, the side for subservience and submissiveness.
The man is Black; the woman sports an Hispanic surname. Surprise! Surprise!
The only element missing is Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as Judas clutching the bag of coins the Citizens United decision gave to the GOP to undermine the election process which put Barack Obama in the White House.
