body of Senator Sumner - but when voters in Brooks's district started sending him new canes.
Tonight, we almost wonder to whom President Bush will send the next new cane.
All that and then he blew the analogy.
Kerry lent Bush a cane, and Olbermanns ticked because Democrats
heads are bleeding.
I agree with most of what Olbermann has to say here. The Republicans at this point are running a "Democrats=Terrorists" campaign of fearmongering, trying to terrorize the population into voting for Republicans. Since the Republicans have controlled both houses of Congress, they bear the responsibility for all the good and bad, and for creating an environment where honest discussion of the issues is tantamount to treason (or so they would have you believe).
Since there's very little "good" to be discussed, it's easier just to lie and spin it that honest, hard-working Americans who vote for Democrats are actually radical terrorists, less than human, and bent on destroying the American way of life from the inside. This characterization goes over well with brain-dead ditto heads who feel a certain inbred kinship with our lunatic President.
