MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (CNN) -- The partisan tone of the memorial service for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone stirred anger Wednesday in some Republicans, political consultants and radio talk show hosts who say some of the comments and behavior were inappropriate.
(-snip-)
Vin Weber, a former congressman from Minnesota, lambasted Democrats for what he called a "complete, total absolute sham
(-snip-)
"I feel used. I feel violated and duped over the fact that that turned into nothing more than a political rally," (then MN Governor Jesse Ventura*)said.

1. It's a good thing Republicans would never do something like that

Because if they did, they might all be forced to admit that they're all full of shit.

2. You have to have a bullied, cowed Formerly Free Press

along with a Soviet/Nazi-style Party-Loyal Sub-Media in order to create such Orwellian hypocrisy and lies.

The Democrats don't have either of those things. On one level I'm glad but now we NEED these things to compete, right or wrong.

3. Oxy Limbaugh is nuts

saying kerry better not cut the line yet chimpy fucks up traffic to collect money. And Reagan is special to me whinning away yet the asshole didn't vote for him either time. Shut UP OXYMORON. No one has done more to the negative discourse in this country than you.

4. Bush Is Going to Flay Reagan's Corpse and Literally Wrap Himself

in Reagan's skin a la Buffalo Bob. Or he's just going to have him stuffed and lug him around the campaign trial a la Weekend at Bernies.

Repubs will say it's not the same thing because, well, because they said so!

5. Yes, I'll be mentioning that in tomorrow's column

Not like there's a double standard in effect or anything,

6. We can try...

...in our own, small, word-of-mouth way to "Wellstone" the right wing.
