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.
