It like the "FAMILY VALUES" thing - as in - they've got them and you don't. This crap really spooled up during the Gingrich ascendancy.bt1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/12843326237379459791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-18734992192130510822016-04-29T19:32:15.854-04:002016-04-29T19:32:15.854-04:00David it's been done - years and years ago:
“...David it's been done - years and years ago: <br />“But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.”<br />― Hunter S.

This time it'll be the All (mostly all; okay, several) Holiday Inn Tour, with special trips to retrace all of Hank Kingsley's steps as the Hankster Broke Bread and Baked Pies With the Little People (not to mention 'comforting' the often under-appreciated Little Woman or several) in The Hey Now & Again Tour (Be sure no to miss Brooks' graveside (Don't ask who.) interview with broadcasting legend Jim Brockmire, reliving his notorious Breakdown Game following being personal witness to some stranger's testicles disappearing deep into his former spouse's cloacal region.<br /><br />Perk The Turd: That Wizard of Oz bit Colbert has going about this presidential passion play finally fills the desperately lonely role of Fake Campaign Scribe. Now Colbert will be able to conduct flack-to-hack fake interviews with the substanceless ego-fueled pronouncements of Cartoon Candidate Donald Trump followed by the smugly superior phonalysis of Cartoon Pundit David Brooks.<br /><br />Also: it'll involve a travel bus - maybe one of those left available from the recent death of Merle, assuming they can fumigate it and at least identify some of the mystery stains - but with a valet, a fitness director, a fully stocked wine compartment and a salad bar; and it'll only be occupied by Brooks for short stints between frequent first-class flights back to DC and NYC.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.com
