The Biggest Hypocrite Among the GOP Cocksuckers - #296

#296 RALPH REED
FORMER LEADER OF THE CHRISTIAN COALITION

I thought I'd written something about this guy but my records show that it isn't so.

Reed was the heir apparent to the late, unlamented Rev. Jerry Falwell of Virginia, who went straight to hell with the deaths of thousands of homosexuals on his conscience. Reed specialized in what he called 'guerilla warfare' when it came to politics. Reed could mobilize hundreds of thousands of Crackers and Peckerwoods to vote the way he wanted them to. This made him a power not to be ignored. He was also spoken of as a man who could be in the Oval Office in a decade or so. The plan for him to get there was first to become Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, then Governor and then head to the White House.

And then the roof fell in.

What happened? Reed was four-points ahead of his challenger in the primaries; an obscure state senator named Casey Cagle; everything seemed to be going just ducky.

Here's what happened. The prime reason why GOP Cocksuckers are furious at the media: It isn't because they are overwhelmingly liberal, it's because they are telling us what GOP Cocksuckers are doing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had gotten ahold of some e-mail correspondence between Reed and GOP Cocksucker #47 (JACK ABRAMOFF). #47 was doing PR for one Indian tribe that in operating a casino tried to prevent ANOTHER Indian tribe from running IT'S casino. Reed called gambling a "cancer" on the body politic while getting paid millions from Tribe A to say so. Even to the yokels of Georgia, this made him look like what he is: a hypocrite.

To Reed's helpless fury, the A-J wouldn't let go of the 'hypocrite' angle. It hung on like a fucking bulldog with it's teeth in his throat. He tried everything to make them let go. After the casino business, the A-J struck AGAIN, this time at the claims of Reed that Washington was dominated by a system of what he called "honest graft," a phrase he took from a corrupt Tammany Hall politician in the 18th Century named George Washington Plunkett. It published the Reed phrase, "I need to start humping in corporate accounts!" Now it looked like Reed, who condemned the practice of 'honest graft' was eager to get in on the gravy train.

The furor about 'honest graft' hadn't even died down when Reed got tagged a third time by the A-J, sort of like a fighter reeling off the ropes and getting pulverized by a combination. The punch this time was while Reed was criticizing China for it's one-child policy and persecution of Christians, he was busy setting up what he called a "grass-roots" Christian group to lobby for freer trade with the country.

Suddenly, all those yokels Reed claimed to be able to motivate weren't too anxious to follow him anymore. They may be rough around the edges and a trifle on the gullible side, but they aren't stupid. When the results from the primary came in, Reed lost by 12 percentage points. A GOP operative put it best when he said "He [Reed] got nailed for being a phony."
