As followers of "The Underpants" well know - the late, great Molly Ivins had Shrub and Guv. Goodhair to ridicule. Ms. Underpants has Joe Walsh.
In all things, I try to follow Molly's "humor rule":
“There are two kinds of humor. One kind that makes us chuckle about our foibles and our shared humanity -- like what Garrison Keillor does. The other kind holds people up to public contempt and ridicule -- that's what I do. Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel -- it's vulgar. ”
Sometimes, even the second kind of humor isn't enough to express the level of contempt an individual in elected office deserves from We the People.
Today is that kind of day. Should you be motivated to c'mon out to Northern Illinois to observe first hand the lunacy of Joe-I-put-something-in-my-Tea-because-there-is-no-other-explanation Walsh, I'll keep the coffee pot on and extra towels in the bathroom. Trust me - after being in the same room for an extended period of time, you'll need a shower to rinse the "ick" off.
So good on 'ya MBP - one of the most powerful "truth-outs" on Walsh ever.
