Garrison Keillor paints a rather acidic portrait of the Republican party.

[docwebster]

The party of Lincoln and Liberty was transmogrified into the party of hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, misanthropic frat boys, shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes, sweatshop tycoons, hacks, fakirs, aggressive dorks, Lamborghini libertarians, people who believe Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us, Newt’s evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president, a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information and of secular institutions, whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk.

Amen, Garrison, amen.

I always was a Garrison Keillor fan - and this really cements it for me. :)

- just because someone has a hairy back doesn't make them a Republican...Keillor is unfair to hairy-backed men! (I like fuzzy men.) Other than that, though, he's spot on.

Love Garrison Keillor. Spike's real middle name is Garrison. Love this guy, and I've seen him twice in concert. I think Kurt Vonnegut had something similar to say on his site.
