Description of repubs - the gloves come off
Garrison Keillor makes Dean look mild.

"The party of Lincoln and Liberty is now a party of

...hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills,
...faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists
...misanthropic frat boys
...shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats
...nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes,
...sweatshop tycoons, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us

...Newt's evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president who is a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information..whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk"


excerpts from "Homegrown Democrat: A Few Plain Thoughts from the
Heart of America" by Garrison Keiller

HEE HEE 'Newt's evil spawn' :rofl:

9. Where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and
all the children are above average. Thanks for the link...I printed that one.

I listened to his show this morning on Nat. Pubic Radihoe on my way back from the "new thought" church I've been attending. Such a scathing rant using a mild tone and no curse words. Wish I could do that.
