[turns to a panelist] Sharon, the NEA is a loser. Yeah, it accounts
for a penny out of our paycheck, but he gets to hit you with it
anytime he wants. It doesnt cost money, it costs votes. It costs
airtime and column inches. You know why people dont like
liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how
come they lose so goddamn always? [turns to another panelist]
And with a straight face, youre gonna tell students that America
is so star-spangled awesome that were the only ones in the
world who have freedom? Canada has freedom. Japan has

Belgium has freedom! So, 207 sovereign states in the world, like
