Yes, we now know, after much speculation, something that is obvious to any devoted fans of the Comedy Central cartoon show, “South Park.” This brilliant, scatological, hilarious concoction of anti-p.c. Gen X genius is the product of two men – Trey Parker and Matt Stone. And at a recent award ceremony hosted by People for the American Way, no less, they came out as … Republicans! Well at least I now have a quick response to the next person who asks me to sum up my politics. I’m a South Park Republican. But shhhh! Don’t tell Robert Bork.
GIULIANI ON WALKER: “I could feel sorry for someone and still string ’em up,” Rudy tells MoDo of the Times. At last a definition of “compassionate conservatism” that makes some kind of sense.
MARIN LIBERALISM: The New York Times, after yesterday’s damning profiles of Walker and Spann, goes into spin-mode today. The headline for the follow-up story, “An Improbable Incubator for a Militant Muslim,” gives the game away. The piece does its best to portray the echt-liberal enclave of Marin county as a conservative-leaning suburb, but is honest enough to let some facts get in the way. My favorite is a quote from a Marin resident: “”I find that people here are basically very forgiving, no matter what their point of view. With the Walker kid, I can’t imagine anyone here thinks he should go to jail for 25 years. I think most people are compassionate about him, especially when they think about his parents.” Notice it doesn’t even occur to her that Walker might be executed. And the thousands of victims of the terrorist group Walker aided and abetted? Compared to the pain of Walker’s parents, they don’t seem to count.
