The Face of Fear

This is Linda Daves, chair of the North Carolina Republican Party. Don't let those apple-dumpling looks fool you. She's one mean biddy.

This a.m. on NBC's Today Show, Sen. John McCain said she's out of touch with reality. It may be she's in better touch than McCain. After all, she's raising bucks for her party by doing "color arousal," as Pam's House Blend calls it. Hey, this shit worked for Helms. Why not for little Ms. Daves, the grandmother from Gehenna?

"They're not listening to me," whined McCain this morning, "because they're out of touch with reality and the Republican Party. We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and this kind of campaigning is unacceptable." Oh, sure it's acceptable, John. This is the SOUTH, where the hookworm liveth and forever climbs the flesh staircase to infect the heart. Linda Daves and others of her ilk applaud its progress.

And you will benefit, Big John, whether you want to admit it or not.

Whining doesn't help, and won't change a thing.
