Bill Maher, The Huffington Post, September 13, 2007
New Rule: Republicans changed their party before — from the party that freed the slaves to the party that freed Scooter Libby — and they survived. Now it’s time for them to stop pretending they’re still the party of Reagan and take up a new banner: The Party of Superfreaky Superfreaks.
This week, the chairman of the St. Petersburg, Florida, City Council was accused of having sex with his two adopted daughters and their nanny. And he could have been in real trouble, too, if it turned out the nanny was an illegal. But he got ahead of the story when he killed himself by sitting in the garage with the doors closed and the riding lawn mower on.
Two guesses which party he was a member of. And the first guess doesn’t count.
And that’s not fair. You knew he was a Republican, because even in death, he was still wasting gas.
