<joke>
Contemplating West's claims of 80 or 81 "members of the Communist Party" in the Democratic congressional caucus, I am picturing Communist Party meetings where the bulk of the attendees are sitting Democratic members of congress. (Presumably chortling and wringing their hands.)

One is some old dude who rides the MBTA trying to pick up college chicks by tempting them with free copies of some Communist newspaper.
The other is some dude who told me he had plane tickets to Cuba, just in case Kerry lost in 2004.
I haven't seen him since 2004, so maybe he wasn't as full of shit as I thought.
