All Keyed Up
Alan Keyes calls Mary Cheney a "selfish hedonist"; the Illinois GOP puts its head between its knees and kisses its ass goodbye.
Well, except for this woman, who is clearly running the campaign from Mars:
Illinois Republican Party Chairwoman Judy Baar Topinka said Keyes' remarks about Cheney's daughter shouldn't distract from key election issues.
"It's a pity that we have gotten away from the substance of the campaign and instead have gotten into personalities and things that are personal and name-calling," Topinka told the Chicago Tribune.
Um, Judy? Calling gays "selfish hedonists" and claiming God made 9/11 happen because of abortions? I'd say those are pretty fucking big election issues. It's like saying, "I can't believe that people are focusing on all those names Hitler is calling the Jews, and not on his strong economic policy."
