No Hill-Billies in the White House!

Monday February 11, 2008 | 10:07:23 am 190 words, 4192 views  

Years ago a Savannah neighbor was carping about all the carping taking place after the dubious results of the 2000 presidential election. He came up with a catchphrase, patented it, and sold a zillion bumper stickers, key chains, towels, etc. His phrase that pays: Sore-Loserman.
I thought of him last week, when another Savannah buddy of mine came by the house with another homegrown political bumper sticker—one that he has recently patented. This Gulf War vet and entrepreneur is apparently no fan of the Clintons—either of them. So his slogan of genius, accompanied by the universal “no” symbol of a circle with a diagonal slash, and the couple’s respective headshots: “No Hill-Billies in the Whitehouse.”
Neither of these political/popular culture entrepreneurs plays much golf, if any. This leads me to believe that if my head wasn’t cluttered up with confusing swing thoughts, and instant replays of recent shots, both good and bad, I might be able to come up with a clever catchphrase or two of my own.

Well, then that leaves Huckabee out, too. Talk about a hillbilly...

Joel,

I applaud you. It's nice to see a blogger here who isn't a left-wing nut job. I thought it was a prerequisite for employment.
