Yet another dumb uninformed memo from the GOP to their few remaining followers (too funny)

Trying to hold on to your heartless love

Talking Points Memo has posted a memo from Republican pollster Frank Luntz about public reaction to the health care reform package. Read it here.

Notice this on page 4:

"As Percy Sledge sang in the 1960s, the thrill is gone."

Okay, anyone who doesn't know who had a hit with The Thrill Is Gone.... and what song Percy Sledge is actually famous for.... should probably keep his hands off of health care.

1. Just in case there's one entity left in the time/space contin that hasn't heard it

Keep his hands off of health care? He can't do a simple fact check.

3. Repubs really shouldn't attempt cool and with it. The result ain't pretty.

4. But when you think about it

both of these are black singers, and you know how racially insensitive the GOP is. So this shouldn't come as any big surprise.

7. No, but I am surprised the writer even knew about Sledge and

name a blues classic.

11. "They all look alike."

12. Racist!

:rofl:

5. Oh, you expect them to do research and THEN write their press releases?

Pfffft! As if! And it doesn't matter who sang what; the truthiness of the matter is that now Percy Sledge had a monster hit with "The Thrill is Gone." Hopefully, B.B. King, who has (believe it or not) done some Republican fundraisers in the last few years, is cool with this.
