Club For Growth

In the beginning of January the bat shit...er...supply-side economics advocates at the Club for Growth released some anti-Howard Dean advertisments that criticized his plans to completely repeal the Bush Tax Cut. The advertisement, is fast becoming famous for the line:

WELL, I THINK HOWARD DEAN SHOULD TAKE HIS TAX HIKING, GOVERNMENT-EXPANDING, LATTE-DRINKING, SUSHI-EATING, VOLVO-DRIVING, NEW YORK TIMES-READING . . .
: . . . BODY PIERCING, HOLLYWOOD-LOVING, LEFT-WING FREAK SHOW BACK TO VERMONT, WHERE IT BELONGS

However, to truely appreciate the awfulness of the ad, you must watch it. Oh yes, don't forget to completely ignore any data mentioned on the site, because it has definetly be doctored to the extreme and does not resemble the truth in the least.

Given how much the Club For Growth dislikes "bizzare" behavior, I wonder how they get along with anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist. According to the Washington Post, Norquist:

....often described as an eccentric. For a bedside table, Norquist uses a giant green canister for Kraft parmesan cheese. He displays what he hopes will be the world's largest collection of airsickness bags. At staff meetings, employees say, he holds court while variously sitting on a giant red plastic ball, eating tuna from a can, rubbing his feet against a massager and sniffing hand lotion as he kneads it into his fingers. He excuses himself to go to "the ladies room."

Goddamn weirdo.
