CARPETBAGGER

I have a new daily blog to read: The Carpetbagger. You might want to take a look. I started to link to one of the items today and then got caught in many more and really enjoyed all the items posted. S/he seems to specialize in the 'so sad that you have to laugh' category of items. The one that snagged me is this one about Trent (the hair) Lott. I love Trent. He is so unashamedly republican.

Many goppers try to cover up their shit; but Trent just lets it hang out there. Here, he manages to skewer about three stereotypes at one time: A French Speaking Socialist.

U.S. Sen. Trent Lott today told an enthusiastic Neshoba County Fair crowd that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is "a French-speaking socialist from Boston, Massachusetts, who is more liberal than Ted Kennedy."

Actually, I think five skewers. The French, who of course could use a good skewering from time to time; a slam against socialists, who barely exist but deserve better than this; Boston AND Massachusetts (which I take personally as we lived there for 43 years save five misguided ones in Philadelphia). That is four right there. Oh. Ted Kennedy. And Liberal. When are we going to liberate 'Liberal' from the scum prison it has been held in since, who, the first bush? Anyway. Thanks a Lott. You dumb yokel.
