in a barbeque place down in SW Virginia -real Republican territory - I was sitting not far from a table of churchgoers (it was a Sunday), who obviously came there every Sunday after services. Blue-hair ladies, men in suits, all prosperous-looking, but not what you'd call wealthy. Just nice, old, comfortable Americans who voted for Ratface.

I could not believe how they trashed him. Trashed what was going on in Iraq. Halliburton. They were really savvy, these people, truly confounding any stereotypes their looks and demeanors might have conjured up. One lady talked about sending her grandsons to Canada if Ratface tried to start up the draft.

On the way out, I stopped at the table, and said, "Y'all (I talk like that in Virginia) are the most wonderful examples of good Americans. I hope you remember what the Republicans have done to us all."

They all made nice, friendly noises, smiling. It was unbelievable.
