Great Cultural Arbiter Kyl calls Obama inauguration speech 'low brow'
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/21/kyl-obama-low-brow/



“His speech was not high-brow, it was more low-brow and a bit surprising in that regard,” said the Senate Minority Whip. <…>

He took exception to Obama’s call for “an end to petty grievances” and a political truce in Washington.

“If the idea is we have to avoid controversy by getting in line behind his proposals, that’s not patriotism,” Kyl said. “If he is asking that everybody agree with him and thereby have a truce, that’s not going to work.”

4. Dear Senator Asshole:
Remember, downing the sitting Prez while the country is at war is TREASON.

Sincerely,

Hepburn from the DU
