Evening Sublime Reading

A belated welcome back to the great tbogg, who's plying his craft over at Raw Story these days!  No one (with the possible exception of Mr. Charles P. Pierce) has quite the same way with words in describing the plankton otherwise known as the Republican base and their shearers.  Here's his lead-in to a piece about wingnuts running afoul of the Federal Elections Commission:

It is a fact of life that there is no sheep on God’s green earth more willing to be sheared than a god-fearing  flag-waving pocket-Constitution-owning being-kept-down-by-the-black-man middle-aged flyover-country white-American. It is said that, if God didn’t want these good people shorn of their disposable income that would  otherwise be spent on salty fattening high-fuctose-infused snacks  purchased in bulk from large warehouse stores,  He wouldn’t have given them Fox News for free on basic cable.  Add to that, the fact that no one ever went broke telling old folks that the government is sticking its nose in their Medicare in order to buy Obama phones for the New Black Panther Party. In fact, many have enriched themselves doing just that, thankyewverymuch.

A tingle is currently running up our legs.
