Jan 2015

Back in the day, the National Park Service sponsored a really big Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall complete with music by the Beach Boys (I know -- you young whippersnappers never heard of 'em). Then came Ronnie Raygun and that dumbass he appointed as Secretary of the Interior.

Raygun's Interior Secretary decreed that the Beach Boys' music was not suitable for public concerts, so, he invited Wayne Newton. The result was disastrous -- Newton was not popular. Then someone pointed out that Wayne Newton's entire career was in Vegas -- he bombed anytime he left Vegas -- and here we had the squeaky-clean Raygun administration sponsoring a mob-related Vegas pretty boy on the National Mall.

Hickabee is following in Raygun's footsteps.

Goddam but these rightwingnutjobs never learn!!!!
