Pathetic People #4: Reince (”Cut out the Pages”) Priebus
Written by Translator on October 21, 2008 – 4:08 pm -Crossposted at Dailykos.com
I swear, is there a single leader in the Republican Party that is not just nuts? The Republicans in Wisconsin have their panties in a wad over a literature textbook used in the eighth grade in some schools. It turns out that the text has an essay by (at the time of writing) a member of the US Senate, Barack Obama. The outrage! The book publisher should have known that Obama was running for President, some day.
Ole Reince was on Fox this morning with the pretentious and hateful Megyn (interesting spelling) Kelly. The text in question is the McDoougal Littel Literature book, apparently the 2008 edition. Now, as I remember it takes around two years or more to get a textbook published, but that is not the point.
Here is a short video featuring him from the Wisconsin Republican Party. I could not find the video of him from Fox news this morning anywhere.

Random Thoughts on Us (the community) and Monitors

This is not written so much for us as for the much larger Kos community. But as we expand, it might be well to review.
This may be a bit disjointed, since I just ate a big plateful of fried okra, and that always puts me in a good mood. If you do not know about it, you should introduce yourself to it.
NOT the kind that comes in a bag in a freezer at the store. The kind that you have to cut from your own plants at least every other day.
It is wonderful, but now for more random thoughts.
