Rep. Jim Gibbons - a new hero?

Elko Daily Free Press in Nevada reports on the new hero of the right - Rep. Gibbons.

I say we tell those liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and their music and whine somewhere else," Gibbons said to another burst of applause.

Well I do hug trees, I am a proud liberal, I wear Birk knock-offs (can't afford the real thing), I wear tie-dyed shirts, make home movies, listen to music - but I hope I don't whine. And Jimmy, where do I go?

"What greater love has man than he lays down his life for his friend - or in this case, his country," Gibbons said in conclusion.

Sure you served before, but how about you who are so gung-ho strap some kevlar on and make the trip to Iraq.

I am so happy he is not my Representative. While Joey Lieberman and Shays are not my cup of tea, they are great compared to this guy. Who the hell in their right mind voted for this guy?
