hats off to Begala.

2. And now we know

Kelly, Miller, Sessions, Gorka all get together on the weekends to have good old cross burnings. This administration is so riddled with white nationalists there is nothing worth saving.

3. Great observation! Lee led the army that killed people who wanted to free slaves!!!

Yup! Yup!

4. The South's gonna do it again....

Lose.

5. Let the South leave, freeloading idiots-cut them loose

6. Please note that lots of us librls live in the South as well.

I live in KY. Back in the day, I marched, worked voter registration drives, and the like. My father damn near got fired from the church he was a minister at for daring to sign a pledge that he would sell his house to any qualified individual regardless of race, creed, or color.

Are there lots of bigots in the South? Hell yes. But there are lots of Democrats too, and don't forget 'The Times They Are A-Changing'

10. I live in the rust belt.

I get sick of the generalizations, too. Like you, I have worked hard to keep democratic ideals alive. We have as many bigots here as you have.

I would have liked your father.

7. Game....

set....match! Begala has a wonderful sense of humor.

[applegrove]

9. I wish he'd run for office.

[SergeStorms]

11. That would be....

a sure way to lose that terrific sense of humor. I think he's more than happy where he is right now. More power to him.

[applegrove]

12. Oh yes. He is more accessable to us on CNN. But I see how good people

who can counterpunch to the truth are needed in Congress.

[calimary]

8. Ouch!
