From Solon: (Great Letter!) The End Times For The Republican Party

[BlueJazz]

Back in '68 Tricky Dicky let all the inbred Southern cracker racist dumbasses onto the Republican bus in order to win his first term in office. The once solidly Northeastern party of old money and Wall Street rode a wave of white sheets into the White House - but hey, the banksters and defense contractors still controlled the purse strings, so it was worth it.

Saint Ronnie 'O Raygun pulled the bus over to pick up the Talibaptists back in 1980, securing the Republican stranglehold on politics and the media for a full 30 years. Since then this unholy alliance of religious fanatics and lazy, moronic white trash has been directing public policy, with predictable results - the country has turned into a squalid trailer park as run by the Vatican.

But hey, it benefited the ultra-rich - and many of their upper middleclass lackeys, too. Well, at least until the stock market imploded and wiped out the quislings' retirement accounts (and the values of their now-worthless McMansions). Suddenly, even Simmons and his ilk have realized just how thoroughly Mr. Burns has screwed them over (and not in the good way), abandoning the Republicans - what was once a party of, by and for the upper middleclass - for the likes of the socialist Obama.

This leaves the Republicans with the dwindling ranks of the Klan and the strip mall Left Behind Jesus fanatics - a sort of political smegma, a disgusting and diseased residue of all that is stupid, unproductive and wrong with America. The Viagra-huffing Limbaugh, rendered stone-deaf by his hillbilly heroin addiction, and Sarah Palin - abstinence-only grandparent, professional protector from Putin and reader of all newspapers and magazines - are the perfect duo to drive the Republicans' greasy, stinking short bus right off of a cliff.

Happy landings!

7. The is the punch-line of the whole piece, isn't it?

Made my eyes pop out of my head.

If an LTTE can be considered "metal", this one would be it.

9. If ever there were a state epitomized by religious fanatics and lazy, moronic white trash,

surely my native state, wherein 66% of the white folk voted to stay the course with McShame, best fits that bill. :P
