2. Thanks for letting us know he was a homo
Edited on Sat Dec-26-09 04:31 PM by TheEuclideanOne
Let me channel the little voice in the back of Bill James's mind....


"For a moment, I was feeling sympathetic to your story, but thankfully you cleared it up for us early on in the story so that we know he was a homo and not an actual person. That way I can put him into a sub-human classification so that I can feel happy that he died as opposed to feeling bad that your son died.

The only thing better that you could have done is to warn us all ahead of time that you are about to talk about a homo who died. That way, all of us good Christian Republicans can be prepared to just hate him because he is gay and be happy that a homo died."

4. Bonafide Idiot
Cenk is right on. What the hell is this fossil thinking. But then again, no surprise and I like the way he ran to tell his story to a conservative radio station. All Republicans know they have a place for a safe landing on these righty talk shows just as all the national Republican guys flock to Fox News. It's their freakin' safety net.

6. He's been in office for years
he keeps getting re-elected County Commissioner in the largest (or 2nd largest not sure) county in North Carolina. Our state is a mixture of some very racists people and then some progressive people.

My apologies.

10. Most politicians in this county...
are generally not too extreme on either political jersey, but we have always have an eccentric pol, Bill James is keeping that tradition, and his district is safe for that type of Repug. BTW, I don't live in his district.

8. Nothing New
This is just business as usual for the Republicans and conservatives these days. I've said this for years how do they expect a black person, sane white person or any minority to stand for the things that come out of these guys mouths. Its like watching a bad episode of HEE-HAW!!:(
