Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania

Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?

    Just Down From Mount Olympus, Klintoon Central

    "It’s all good. All the enlightened folk from San Francisco (the center of all reason and moderation) have to do is explain to those poor rubes how Barry will bring in high-paying jobs at the new Gucci factories, open the secret government bins of fairy gold to pay for universal, top-notch health care and research, & etc. Once that message is spread, trailer park Joes will accept him as their personal savior, lose their bitterness, put aside their antiquated belief in God, their plebian concern for more than amendment one, and their naïve expectations of a secure border. Then they join our legions of the rational! Hooray!"

    I always love it when Hillary sits there in her $5,000 pale azure pants suit, telling us how her buddies, the trailer trash so beloved by Bill Klinton, don't trust Barack. Of course, she still has the powder burns on her hands from duck hunting.

    How do you go duck hunting in a $5000 pants suit, anyway?
