Yes, I am out of touch, because I didn’t know that every republican in Alabama goes to the Walmart. ;-)
I’m noticing that the Gingrich folks are being particularly sensitive lately. Attackign Santorum for not cheating on his wife and having the temerity to actually mention it, and then not recognizing the illustration of the absurd by using absurdity in commenting on a Walmart joke.
I did notice though that a couple of others did take the Walmart joke more seriously — and they were attacked as class warfarists or something... :-)
Well, now you know that in Lower Alabama, almost everybody of every political party, race, religion, etc. goes to Wal-Mart. I noticed that the other posters who took issue with the old Southern joke were not from Alabama or Georgia or Missippi.
