I am disappointed in myself for being surprised to find CONGRATS
as new choice on McConnell’s drop-down topic list. Yes, it really is in all
caps, to honor his supporters, most of whom type in all caps, abuse
punctuation, and couldn’t pass third-grade logic or sentence structure. How
could I not have expected the egotistical hotdog to add this?
Since topic is mandatory, I chose CONGRATS and used You've outdone yourself! in the also
mandatory subject line. I probably should have used all caps and added a dozen
more exclamation points but I was busy trying to imagine the form-letter
response this topic/subject combination will generate.
The body of my letter (that will probably go unread)
Senator:
Your comments about President Obama needing to learn to work
with you because you were elected might be one of the most embarrassing comments
you've made so far this year. You, Senator, need to work with the President
that WE elected, two times.
Please, stop embarrassing us with illogical, dishonest,
silly statements like that.
Wondering why you ask for things you aren't willing to give,
Sandy
Someone was "explaining" to me that "liberals weren't the smart crowd" - Sorry, you don't get to be anti-science, anti-history and anti-facts and get the smart label. That's entirely aside from the anti-human decency.
ReplyDeleteGOP folks don't corner the market on hypocrisy but they are definitely demonstrating that practice makes perfect.
Liberals aren't the smart crowd? That silliness is belied by the Conservatives' (say rather, Reactionaries') own constant complaints and declarations that colleges and universities are hotbeds of liberalism. They're right, of course, (a first and only for them) that education tends to imbue people with liberal values. Unfortunately, that sort of implies that they've got the "smart crowd" argument backward, demonstrating nicely that they, themselves, are, in fact, not the "smart crowd."
