Nat, you say "I'm sure you meant no harm" which is too charitable to be believed.. Of course he meant to do harm. He has all the faculties of the average republican't, but just not the talent to have written this scurrilous 'joke' himself. That he, and his alter egos on this ng actually think this is funny, is beyond my comprehension. . I imagine he thinks planting nooses in public places is a good gag, too. You ask him to "think a minute". This is something he's incapable of doing, because he's a mindless sot. He's already finding out how to tune in to his mentor, Don Imus, when he (incredibly) returns to foul the airwaves in December. Birds of a feather, and all that. Snott is the very kind of dull-minded knuckledragger that the rightards love to court. But no fear - these h*mo boobiens won't get to first base in November '08, and they're scared witless.
