Reply #33: Finally! After 150 years, the Republican party has its own Mark Twain

[0rganism]

Let's embrace this meme. Jeff Gannon is the Republican version of Mark Twain. Twain/Clemens was a social critic, a free-spirited anti-government genius, a man who wrote many an eloquent article in opposition to wars and violent "solutions" to national problems, who remains a well-recognized author to this day. Fittingly, Gannon/Guckert, our newest entry into the Republican imitation squad, is a partisan critic, a prostituted anti-Democratic know-nothing, a man propped up to kiss the ass of power both literally and figuratively, who will outlive his fame by many decades.

If this is the Republicans' answer to Mark Twain, I dare them to show us their answer to Social Security.
