'No Label' Party Will Label 'Haters', Already Has

This is from a story in the Columbus Dispatch in which the reporter goes to great lengths to 'report' on the moderate nature of the new Coffee Party No Labels Party. Yeah, laughable comes to mind, but one has to decide whether its the story, the reporting or the subject.

Moderates gather under No Labels

Prominent politicians taking part in launching No Labels included New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent; Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican; and U.S. Sens. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Evan Bayh of Indiana, both Democrats. The group has raised more than $1 million in an effort to establish chapters in all 435 congressional districts and on college campuses.

If Charlie Crist is a Republican then Madonna really is a virgin. Who could quibble that Michael "Mr Salt of the Earth" Bloomberg and Debbie "Cash for Clunkers" Stabenow are moderate? Poor Evan Bayh, always looking to fit in, but never liberal enough for his liberal friends. 

Yeah, a party that refuses to say who is funding it is moderate. A party that includes disaffected Republican losers is moderate.

Did someone say moderate?

Nah, no one would be that bought dumb.
