I don't mind them, deep inside they are good people and have principals. What gets me is that the Irish don't mind the English, they only hate the Irish! GG

My seventh brief conversation with Senator Robert Byrd's (D-WV) Grand Kleagle hood

me: “You following the latest kerfuffle started by your boy Senator Cracker?"*

hood:

me: “This time, the esteemed gentleman from West Virginia compared the Republicans’ efforts to circumvent a Democratic-led filibuster of federal judges to the tactics of Hitler and the Nazis..."*

hood:

me: “...though in his defense, I don’t think he really expects Bill Frist to shove Barney Frank or Joe Lieberman into a large convection oven...”

hood:

me: “...so in that sense, at least, he’s being figurative.”

hood:

me: “Still, if anybody would know about Hitlerian tactics, it would be a former Grand Kleagle, right...?”

hood:

me: “...I mean, aren’t Kleagles pretty well-versed in the tactics of history’s most efficient racial purifiers?”

hood:

me: “Or is Bobby just, y’know, bent on proving that he’s as confused about his history as he is about racialism and foreign and domestic policy...?"*

hood:

me: “Because I, for one, would admit to being unsurprised by that.”

hood:

me:

hood:

me: “So.”

hood:

me: “Anything you’d care to add, hood...?”

hood:

me: “Or maybe offer in the Senator’s defense...?”

hood:

me: “No --?”

hood: “-- What, you’re serious? The man compared Republicans to Adolf freaking Hitler, boy. I may as well try to defend abortion to the Pope. The miserable papist sonofabitch.”
