A Fine Lesson in the Art of Analogies
While we normally leave politics to other blogs, the following, which was taken from E.J. Dione, Jr.'s Op-Ed piece in Tuesday's Washington Post, is too good to pass up:
"DeLay himself drew the line sharply the day after the 2004 elections. 'The Republican Party is a permanent majority for the future of this country,' DeLay declared. 'We're going to be able to lead this country in the direction we've been dreaming of for years.'
Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform and a leading figure in both the DeLay and Bush political operations, chose more colorful post-election language to describe the future. 'Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minorty status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans,' he told Richard Leiby of the Post. 'Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant. But when they've been 'fixed' then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful.'"

Boo. The post, while entertaining, had nothing to do with Aqueous Vulva nor how it's former inhabitants rocked it out. I think we should adhere to the following creedo: "If it ain't germane, please abstain."
I think, my dear big blogger, that you are wrong and that it has everything to do with AV, and here's why:
1.) It shows what morons Tom DeLay and people of his ilk, read la Jono, are.
2.) It references the genitalia of farm animals, something our neighbors at 106 Henry St. clearly had intimate knwledge of.
maybe you should just take that shit to the wonkette and all the other poltical fagorts in the blogosphere. sometimes i get so mad i could just kill a man.
Maybe you should get a clean spoon & eat my ass.
