PATRIOTS

When Shameless Hucksters Lose What's Left of Their Decency

"If there's a contradiction or some sort of irony in cashing in over 9-11, that seems to have eluded the hosts. Palin wrote this week on her Facebook page: 'We can count on Glenn to make the night interesting and inspiring, and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than to gather with patriots who will 'never forget.' Visa and MasterCard accepted."

....Glenn Beck made $32 million last year and Sarah Palin made $12 million in a matter of months. The only difference is that this time it's 9/11."

Others on the far-right also hope to profit from the anniversary of 9/11. Disgraced lobbyist Ralph Reed will wrap up his "Faith and Freedom Conference and Strategy Briefing" on Saturday, and Newt Gingrich will unveil some new movie he put together on the same day.

Actually, Sinclair Lewis wrote this in 1935 not 1835. It is from his work It Can't Happen Here.

Well, it could.
