Our Boredom Threshold Disorder prevents us from reading closely enough to point out the qualifications, false equivalences & balanced objectivity inherent in the form; we did manage to find these amusing paragraphs:
At a cocktail reception on the banks of the Mississippi River, people in yellow Tea Party shirts barely mingled with Republican stalwarts, many of whom wore neckties or broaches decorated with elephants, the proud symbol of the party. In the exhibition gallery, where T-shirts, books and knickknacks were on sale, “Vote Republican” buttons sat alongside “All government is the problem” bumper stickers.Ha ha, Sherry. (Any "Brandis" in your family?) Can't fool us. We know why you "only recently become politically active."
In the ballroom of the downtown Hilton Hotel, during three days of speeches, applause erupted at every mention of the Tea Party. People in the crowd delivered a standing ovation when a woman took the microphone during a question-and-answer session and denounced party leaders in Washington for siding with moderate incumbents over strict conservatives.
“We are looking for somebody who is strong enough to stand up for what they believe in and not just to kowtow to the Republican Party,” said Sherry Raziano, a nurse who has only recently become politically active and who traveled here from Gulfport, Miss.
“We as a party need to welcome the people who want to get rid of the folks who are in office now,” Mr. Barbour said. “We need to make them feel welcome. We need to give them a chance to participate.”Yes, let a thousand flowers bloom, you fat redneck. Nominate & elect every deluded, paranoid loon you can. See how angry you'll make the leftists. It'll be worth the GOP-destroying defeat in 2012, won't it?
