RE: Next up, manatee suffrage, right?

Mr. Lowe,

My compliments on a marvelous, alas unlinkable, cartoon this AM.

It shows the evil Republicans, doubtless in thralldom to the Satanic Koch Brothers, gerrymandering Florida to further the aims of homophobic, bitterly clinging, Tea Party gun nuts.

Like the turd in the punch bowl that keeps popping up it raises 2 questions.

#1 – If they were so sinister and so powerful why couldn’t they protect Representative Alan West? Who else but a Black Congressman could criticize a Black President without being compared to the legendary Southern White Democratic Congressmen? Names like Eastland, Bilbo, Gore, Stennis, and Russell leap to mind. Why did they let him go? Why didn’t they wiggle the lines of South Florida’s resident Medusa, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Just make the harridan hustle a bit at election time.

#2 – Corinne Brown’s district is so narrow in parts that a good golfer could drive his Slazenger across it. If her district is reconfigured geometrically she will be out of work come November.

Alcee Hastings had his Black-robed felonious ass tossed off the Federal bench. A district was created for him that would have elected Little Black Sambo and/or Willie Horton. If it were possible both would have been sent to Congress. Talk about “rotten boros”! Redrawing his district using straight lines and the inevitable right angles will result in him making the foul smell he causes just being in Congress less so.

The end result will be 2 less Black members of Congress. I guess it’s OK for a mush-brained modern American Liberal to be a racist. Keep drawing.
