I have tried to keep this blog on literary topics and away from politics, but I cannot help but comment on this. Driving back into town today from Troy, I hear on CNN (satelite radio) that MY congressman, Spencer Bachus, is claiming that he has a list of 17 socialists in the Congress. CNN has contacted both his Washington and Birmingham offices for an explanation, but, of course, they have not received a response.
First of all, Spencer Bachus wouldn't know a "socialist" if one hit him upside the head. Secondly, he will never release such a list because he has no list. This is just classic Republican red-baiting that goes back to Joe McCarthy in the 50's.
Spencer Bachus is a Class A idiot. I say this reluctantly since he is an Auburn graduate. I suppose not all AU grads are smart.

I think you should write and post about what you please. If that means politics, then so be it. This is, after all, a part political blog.
Here are two links to the story:
