Wow, who could've predicted a man whose brand was being a gay black "conservative," who wrote an opinion column for CNN about how horrible the death of Trayvon Martin was, would go crawling to CNN for approval the moment someone on the right said a mean word to him?

It's almost like this was always the plan all along and everyone knew this.

And now he's buckling down, months later, to try to get that CNN position full-time.
