“The Republicans In
Houston, With Kali and Gilgamesh”
OK, now he’s even getting esoteric in the titles. Basically
this is a listing of grievances with the Republican Convention of 1992…written
in the style of Rachel Maddow only with obscure references to classical
literature. Not much more to say.
Leonard doesn’t like Hunter Thompson, but this excerpt could
be right out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:
After the tantrum of the God Squad cadres, it
wouldn’t much matter…the Old Smog meets the New Covenant. Bring back Perot
either as a fire hydrant or a maddened fruit bat, in one ear and out the other
of Larry King.”
New word: Areopagus = corner of the Acropolis that was used
as a Greek “court of appeals.”
New
learning: Pat Buchanon ran so long on his speech at the ’92 Convention, that
Ronald Reagan was pushed out of prime time!
President Reagan at the 1992 Convention...hard to read but the time stamp is 10:59 PM!
