Isn't that cute. The San Francisco Comicle is trying to be funny.

Me, I hope he's serious (though I doubt it) - a vote's a vote.

Seriously? This was in the SF Chronicle? I started reading, but after three paragraphs I was certain this was written by a zit-faced highschooler for his A.P. English class, or perhaps by one of the local university's Freshmen on the campus newspaper staff.

I cannot believe such immature tripe would appear in a major metropolitan daily.

[IronChefSakai]

Anyone else smell BS?

OH the Sf cronic is so cute, like a teddybear jampacked with an explosives suicide belt. :P

[Texas_Jarhead]

I popped on over to the source and read the whole thing. What a bunch of puke-level alpha garbage. The caricature painted is so unrecognizable that it's hard to believe that the author is very bright at all. If it weren't so freakin stupid it would be really sad.

LOL, that's hilarious. For a second their I got confused with a real GOP migrant, Kieth Thomson of the SF Gate. I love this piece.

As odd as this may sound, this sort of sarcastic illogic is what many liberals believe when you talk with them. The entire article is based around the question "when was the last time you beat your wife?" (an unanswerable question). Just substitute the "poor" or the "environment" for "wife" and you have the liberal argument.

They really are still trying to get a handle on this "intentional humor" concept. They must be subsribing to Franken's comedy-by-mail-class.

"I cannot believe such immature tripe would appear in a major metropolitan daily."

The bozo's supposedly a speechwriter for Mario Cuomo. I was under the impression that Mr. Cuomo was pretty articulate for a liberal - maybe he keeps this guy around as a bad example.

[Moderate right-winger]

He really intends to be a Republican, taking the form of an undercover RINO.

Sarcasm 101

Must be a paint-by-numbers correspondence course. At the very least the manuals are printed in Crayola.

Typical drivel from the Left.

They look for the Federal Government to solve all their problems, even though there isn't a shred of evidence that their Party has ever done nothing to advance the people who support their platform. The difference between Liberals and Conservatives is clear. Liberals don't trust the people who vote for them to be responsible for their actions. Conservatives expect those who follow them to be responsible for their actions, and understand that handouts do nothing but strip away a persons dignity.

Almost right on the money. Actually, if a lib did meet a conservative for the first time, he would definetly ask him "when was the last time you beat your wife?"

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

This reads like it was written by one of our trolls.

Any chance we can ZOT the San Francisco Chronicle?

[perfect stranger]

He's not serious.

Jeff Gillenkirk was a speechwriter for former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. He lives in San Francisco.

And he starts with the liberal rhetoric halfway thru the 3rd paragraph.

I'm suprised I wasted my time to read the whole thing.

[kcvl]

Jeff Gillenkirk was principal speechwriter for New York Governor Mario M. Cuomo, New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams, United States Senator Barbara Boxer

[USAfearsnobody]

OMG, this article is the greatest. I'm still laughing. I wish Rush would read this.

[MJY1288]

Just as I thought, thanks for confirming my suspicions
