William Jefferson was a consummate disgrace, and I was delighted to see his departure from Congress. Rather a broad conclusion you seem to be drawing from a two-paragraph comment, don't you think? Shall I assume that you're a die-hard Michael Savage fan from the tenor of your comment, or would that be unfair of me?<br /><br />The point I was trying to make (if there's any utility in trying to clarify) was that the more successful political commentary from the left, as far as cultural penetration is concerned, comes in the form of comedy. Perhaps you'd like to argue that Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck <i> et al </i> don't comprise the bulk of the right-wing cultural commentariat, but I doubt you'll be all that convincing.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-81709142241823527112010-03-29T05:53:33.888-07:002010-03-29T05:53:33.888-07:00"We leftists are supposed to do glib, ironic,..."We leftists are supposed to do glib, ironic, disdainful humor. "<br /><br />Oh who are you fucking kidding. How much "bush is hitler, kill bush, bush is the devil" crap did I have to swallow for 8 years from people like you? How many "waah but halliburton" replies to anything under the sun, including the arrest of William Jefferson when he was CAUGHT WITH BRIBE MONEY IN HIS FREEZER?<br /><br />I get really tired of this old lie about how the democrats, especially as taken over as they are these days by the Looney Insane Left (including their leader-in-office), are "different" from the republicans somehow. Democrats/Leftists are WORSE. They say worse things, they are more violent, and they literally want to "shut people up" for disagreeing with their insane ideas.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466940518082972363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-43450622279473478492010-03-28T19:27:20.016-07:002010-03-28T19:27:20.016-07:00Nothing productive happens when you call for peopl...<i>Nothing productive happens when you call for people to die.</i><br /><br />My understanding is reserved attorney vs. attorney relationshipsWhithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636707047638322398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-18972805915833484092010-03-27T10:20:00.744-07:002010-03-27T10:20:00.744-07:00Well, this is just sad.

(See: <i>Stewart, John.</i>) We never do well by cribbing from the other team's playbook.<br /><br />And yes, I agree that this guy is a Grade A lunatic. I'd be happy to be rid of him. though I'd never heard of him before.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.com
