  Reading these letters to the editor......

  ......was a surreal, disturbing experience. I kept wondering, were we all responding to the same article?

  Earth to liberal America: The GOP is a vicious, extremist, criminal organization bent on eroding our basic liberties and obliterating what remains of our democratic form of government. Neither this party nor its representatives deserve our respect. They forfeited that right years ago with their abominable, outrageous behavior.

  I found Gary Kamiya's article thoroughly entertaining and absolutely accurate. Palin is a political featherweight who was added to the McCain ticket for utterly transparent, half-assed reasons. The article simply points out the elephant under the couch: this woman's selection as a vice-presidential candidate represents the latest instance of "style" (appalling, yes, but there's no accounting for taste) over substance within the GOP. And it does so in a way that actually provokes laughter in balanced human beings. Lord knows, that's a rare gift these days.

  Kamiya has skewered this wretched woman and the political nightmare machine that spawned her with the oldest weapon in the polemicist's aresenal (take a deep breath, all you dessicated, doctrinaire marxists) - satire. Look it up in the fucking dictionary.

  And cheers to Gary Kamiya for his keen observation and sharp wit. Don't let the pointy-heads get you down.
