#1 He's obviously a small minded political hack.

#2 Yes, but that doesn't mean that the Trunks don't have their own share. If they didn't, they wouldn't be the minority party today.

#3 I'm waiting for him to apologize for being a racist marxist revolutionary, but I'm not holding my breath.

#5 Anybody remember Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz during the Nixon administration? Can we get the same treatment for Van Jones? No? Just thought I'd ask.

#6 So I take it all the folks here who have called Dems assholes or worse, would refuse a job in the Palin administration?

#8 ..would refuse a job in the Palin administration?

Your assumption is that Palin would win as a Trunk. Considering the number of knife wounds in her back from the establishment and Beltway Trunks, that's not a given.

#11 Actually people on the right are decent people. It is the people on the left and their apologists that are primarily the assholes. Just click on this link for written proof.

#12 Palin = Truther, LH? Come'on, that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

#13 LH, I've called both Dems and Repubs worse. I guess I'm not qualified to be in any administration, then. Oh well!

If this was the only stupid thing he had done, no, I wouldn't have a problem with him. I actually agree with him on this part, only I would have added an adjective like "dumb" or "stupid" before the term a$$hole. But, that's just me.

Unfortunately, this is the least of his dumb moves (troofer petition signing, accusing white people of deliberately poisoning minority communities, naming his kid after some radical African revolutionary, his political conversion after heading to jail during the King riots in LA, etc., etc.).

#14 Liberal Hawk - He's proven to the world that he is "LOW RENT"!.

I wouldn't be leaving that little straw man too close to the stove.

#16 He's backing off of his truther denial as well. How much more public pressure before he sees the undercarriage of a bus? Time will tell.

#17 There's a difference between private conversation and standing up in front of a crowd as a paid authority. He was there giving a speech, then said the asshole thingy in response to an audience member's question.

#20 I've paid my taxes and am therefore unqualified for employment in any democratic administration. All Assholes a side.
