Cheese merchants and cat stranglers...
What exactly IS a Republican? Gotta confess, I've never been sure. I just kind of know them when I see them.
But now, former humorist Garrison Keillor has a precise definition:
...hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, see-through fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, hobby cops, misanthropic frat boys, lizardskin cigar monkeys, jerktown romeos, ninja dittoheads, the shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, cheese merchants, cat stranglers, taxi dancers, grab-ass executives, gun fetishists, genteel pornographers, pill pushers, chronic nappers, nihilists in golf pants, backed-up Baptists, Crips and Bloods of the boardroom...I think that pretty much wraps it up.
This would be funny if he were writing a spoof, but I suspect the poor old fellow is serious. It looks like another bad case of Democrat meltdown...

Republicans are bad because among all the other things he mentions, some of them sell cheese?
Things that make you go HMM.
