The agony of defeat

 Anything that makes these people this unhappy has got to be good:
 POSTSCRIPT: The antipathy toward Al Franken among the loons at Fox News is explained in part by an episode described thusly by Wikipedia:
 ”In 2003, Penguin Books published Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, which included a cover photo of Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly and a chapter accusing O’Reilly of lying. In August of that year, Fox News sued, claiming infringement of its registered trademark phrase ‘Fair and Balanced.’ A federal judge found the lawsuit to be ‘wholly without merit.’ The episode with Fox focused a great deal of media attention upon Franken’s book and, according to Franken, greatly increased its sales. Reflecting on the lawsuit during a September 2003 interview on the National Public Radio program Fresh Air, Franken said that Fox’s case against him was ‘literally laughed out of court’ and added that the judge’s comment that the case was ‘wholly without merit’ was a good characterization of Fox News itself.”

Son, I have no idea what in the world you are talking about, but please understand this: The GOP is not a race. It is a political party that is currently locked in self-destruct mode and inching perilously closer to inclusion on the endangered species list.
Please enlighten me (as well as others who enjoy comedy) how slamming the GOP makes one a “racist pig.” You explanation should be fascinating.

Correction to last sentence in the third paragraph of Comment #2: “Your explanation should be fascinating.”

Laughed out of court……….you mean the way Franken’s program was laughed off the air. Kinda like what is happening to newspapers, network news,MSNBC, CNN and CNBC after Immelt fires everybody at CNBC for not towing the “party” line.
