I'm afraid that the GOP has really gone around the bend. Wednesday is my shadenfreude day when I listen to GOP radio propaganda - trust me it's been really good since the election. Anyway Sean Hannity had a guest host who was absolutely outraged at (who else?) the New York Times for blaming the e-coli Taco-Bell outbreak on Bush. So he'd show those loser-defeatist liberals, he was going to eat taco bell tacos (extra green onions) all during the show because otherwise we let the terr - erm I mean bacteria, win!
more insight (and a poll!) on the flip . . .
It was really amazing listening. Not only was he eating Taco Bell tacos (with extra green onions), he was also 1) bragging about it; and 2) encouraging his listeners to eat at Taco Bell today as well. This is where his persecution complex and hatred of all things liberal has led him, he's going to eat a potentially e-coli taco, several of them in fact, just to show the liberals a lesson.
But the part I really want to focus on was his encouraging all his listeners to go to taco bell and order green onion tacos to show support for the president. OK that's not verbatim but that was the gist of the whole thing as far as I could tell. To anticipate the question that is, no doubt, on your mind; no I don't know, and he didn't explain, how eating taco bell tacos and/or contracting e-coli would help President Bush.
Keep in mind that he was talking about enjoying eating the tacos during the entire three hours. So even if they weren't contaminated he's going to have some indigestion in the morning.
But this did get me to thinking, here was a conservative blowhard who was willing to unnecessarily risk e-coli contamination just to stick it to liberals and the new york times. So here's what we need to do: come out against something else in mass and see how much damage we can do.
