3. Oh, and Republicans would NEVER do that!

(cough) ACORN, churches that had anti-war speakers, (cough) NAACP...as opposed to 100% political groups applying for tax exempt status (illegally).

It sure seems like about time for old grandpa Turtlehead to move into an assisted-living apartment in "Reactionary Manor Retirement Village." The good people of Kentucky won't keep sending him back to the Senate as long as South Carolina did that other old drooler, Strom Thurmond, will they?
