Who would have thought they had a columnist on staff that would write such a clever statement.

“Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine , even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington , we’re number one. There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth’. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.”

Kaipo,
Even the subject line of your post is dishonest.  This tripe did not come from the LA Times, it came from a wingnut blog called “BigHollywood” which seems to be owned/hosted by right-wing blogosphere entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart.  Apparently Prelutsky used to be a successful writer of entertaining fiction for a number of popular TV shows (if his bio on BigHollywood is to be believed) but has descended into a life as an angry and bitter writer for an obscure blog.

Sorry, I will vet my sources a little more carefully. Mr. Prelutsky did write for the LA Times.
