That’s our Roy!

Secession Day event held at Roy Moore’s foundation – NewsFlash – al.com.

St. Roy, presumably, didn’t know about the celebration, or the invite to Leagueof the South members. I would say that the real problem is that he creates organizations that do this sort of thing. Plausible deniability doesn’t really work when you create the system.

He will thereby earn a sort of immortality on The Daily Show and Saturday Night Live, and probably the presidential endorsements of wingnut bloggers.

Wingnuts want Sessions

Hullabaloo

Seriously, people, put that man in your senior spot on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Obama could get Lani Guinier confirmed for the Supreme Court.
