Delusions of ACORN

On my way home after watching President Obama's speech last night, I spun the radio dial and landed on KKOH 780-AM out of Reno, Nevada. The host, Bill Mandel, is a typical right wing tool, who just babbles on and on spouting one caustic lie after another.

One of his lunatic callers offered the opinion that he was disappointed the Republicans in the chamber applauded the President too much, noting that he could see on television that many times people on both sides of the aisle stood and cheered. Madel went so far as to claim that the Democrats had "packed the building" so full that Hillary Clinton had to sit on "the Republican side." Mandel even floated the rumor that ACORN was behind the plot to fill the House chamber and edge out Republicans. Hah! ACORN??? WTF?!? As if just anybody can just walk in and sit in the well of the House of Representatives? Teh stoopid, it burns.

The truth of the matter is this: Democrats so outnumber Republicans [House 257-178/Senate 58-41 (plus Al Franken)] that the spillover was a simple reflection of their overwhelming majorities.
