...do too well.

When the candidates were asked to name their favorite book, chair hopeful Ann Wagner thought they asked for her favorite bar, and said “probably my kitchen table.” When the question was explained to Wagner, she said her favorite book was “George Bush’s new book.” The sad thing is I would vote for a person who sits and drinks at their kitchen table over anyone who would read George Bush’s book.

But Michael Steele actually topped Wagner. He said his favorite book was “War and Peace.” Then he quoted Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” by reciting “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Well, call me Ishmael! Does Michael Steele really read Tolstoy? He seems more like a Dostoyevsky guy, but then for some reason I’m thinking of “The Idiot.” One thing is for sure—no matter who wins, the Republicans are going to get the leadership they truly deserve.

This is hardly surprising in a party that thinks reading is some type of "elitist" activity that is faintly unAmerican and that education past the age of 12 is not needed since they have learned everything they want to know by that age.

Do you know what make me LMAO? It is that we can post hundreds of pages of stupid things said by the republicans and the ONLY thing they can come back with, time after time after time after time is the one mistake the president made while at the end of a long day of campaigning. LMAO.
