Tapeworms, Al Franken, barnacles and other parasites


The comparison of liberals to parasites and conservatives to hosts has never been more appropriate than with Al Franken’s arrival in the Senate.
What were the good people of Minnesota thinking? Do they miss the national attention of Governor Jesse Ventura?
Parasites can play a useful role, like an egret picking off ticks on the back of a bull. And a certain amount of parasitic activity is harmless. Like barnacles, they may be a nuisance, but do little damage.
Franken is over the top in a Senate that is over the top. He’s made a lot of money being negative, in a low, mean style. He’s the kind of parasites that, left untreated, will slowly kill the host.
