Way too much Orange in GOP Fruitcake

First Richard Nixon, born in a citrus orchard (lemon?), who resigned his presidency to protect his pension. Now, we have Marilyn Davenport, self-proclaimed Christian humorist sharing her private chuckles with her like-minded friends, copy also (by mistake) to the President of the United States? She has "humbly apologized" for her abysmal behavior, but not for her bigoted mind. Nor will she resign from the Orange County GOP Central Committee of which she is a part. Elected part. California law says she can't be fired (from a duly elected position), so the onus is on her to resign.  Is it citrus pollen, or, something in the water out there? Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, hmmm?

Don't bother trying to get to the "contact us" page on the Orange County GOP server, it hasn't been able to handle the traffic. Or, maybe it's a deliberate move to:

My little digital dictionary lists, among others, the following synonyms for "humble":  lowly, working-class, lower-class, poor, undistinguished, mean, modest, ignoble, low-born, plebeian, underprivileged; common, ordinary, simple, inferior, unremarkable, insignificant, inconsequential.

All of the above seem somehow inadequate; too quick to apologize, too slow to think.  Where does the party find them?
