A couple of correspondents sound off:
"Joe Biernat and Christine Jax [ed: the writer is mistaken. Biernat's a Minneapolis DFL City Councilman who just resigned over corruption charges, and brother of Jax' husband Len, also a bigtime liberal Minnesota pol]. She's the State Commisioner of Children, Families and Learning - there's an Orwellian title for you, huh?] for making liberal sycophancy a family industry"Well, that's the nice thing about being in control of the blacklist - we get to decide who's a conspirator, and who's not, now!"Katrina Vanden Huevel-only Trotsky is "progressive" enough for her"
"Rick Kahn [eulogist at the Paul Wellstone memorial and rally], for being the only person in the US who couldn't get Jim Ramstad to vote with the Democrats"
"I'd like to nominate Syl Jones, the [Minneapolis Star/Tribune's afrocentric columnist and...] Racism Expert ("whether it's there or not, he'll find it"). Although I guess this will guarantee my induction in the VWRC (Vast White Racists Conspiracy).
And, says another correspondent:
Mitch! Are you losing your mind? Garrison Keillor! Can't believe you forgot Garry!"Ooof. He's right.
And another:
John Marty [DFL Senator from the 'burbs who never met an issue he couldn't tie "to the children"]And more:
Andy Dawkins [DFL Rep from St. Paul who led Soliah's crew of local waterboys]
