The Jeff Gannon, err Matt Sanchez stuff was hee-larious!
If someone had made it all up and used it in a novel before now, it would have been panned as hateful and paranoid by many.
This last episode with Sanchez really exposes how desperate they are for poster children at this point. Telling Ann Coulter the truth that Pat Tillman read Noam Chomsky, she simply says, “I don’t believe it”.
So there…
There’s probably a book in this concept. Worthy of more research, that’s for sure. What I find on right-wing sites when something like Sanchez or Foley is brought up, all they have in terms of ammunition now is Stubbs, Frank, Teddy K…nothing from under 15 years ago. Quite telling, though I attempt to resist the urge to hammer the point home, as it’s only a matter of time before something else happens to the Democrats involving murder or sex…well, come to think of it, McGreevy was a train wreck. Two books already out on that whole thing.
I can’t wait to not read both of them.
75/1 – Odds on the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series this year (Vegas)
$20 to win 1500, wouldn’t be a bad bet.
I agree. I thought the 10:1 odds on Al Gore I saw the other day were good, but a hundred on Chicago at 75:1 was the best bet out of all the ones that Vegas link had posted.
