Jon Rowe has this interesting history of Keyes and his most admired mentor, Allan Bloom. Keyes' admiration for someone he'd call a "selfish hedonist" is probably unusual in and of itself, but there's more to the story than that.
And Archpundit has these reactions - from Republicans mind you - to Keyes' comments on Mary Cheney.
And remember the Republican leadership picked this guy - brought him all the way from Maryland to be their Senate candidate. I really wonder who was smoking what or who had incriminating pictures of whom when that decision was made. I'm hard pressed to think of another instance of a party engaging in this level of political suicide.
