Oh wait, it was just a phone call. Nevermind.
Funny, the things DUmmies get so ecstatic over.

I just lit up a Republican phone banker.

Wingnut/Teabagger Keith Fimian is running against my Congressman, Gerry Connolly, in Virginia's 11th district. His caller started off with the usual boiler plate crap, and then lapsed into the regular Teabagger mantra ... "Isn't it time for "career politician" Gerry Connolly to go?" I answered, "Yeah, let's get rid of all those career politicians. And while we're at it, let's dump all those damned career brain surgeons and airline pilots. Hell, let's make sure that everybody who actually knows what the **** they're doing gets shit-canned!" There followed about five seconds of complete silence, and then a very soft "click" as they disconnected.
I doubt I'll be hearing from them again.

14. OK, blushing furiously here.
I always had myself pegged as just another amorphous DU A-hole, one who occasionally makes a cogent point, but while passionate, is too offensive to make many friends. I also curse too much (but **** it, I was a combat infantryman, that's how we talked). Yet now I find out that one of my all-time favorite DUers doesn't think I suck? I think I'll have a beer.
I don't normally question anyone's military service, but I do get suspicious of "veterans" who feel the constant need to give their military resume'. Especially at DU.
