Out of Desperation, Talent Keeps Going to Far

Smelling defeat in November, Missouri's junior senator, Jim Talent(less) Hack, keeps going to new depths of slimeball politics and outrageous positions, attempting to fire up his base.

First his campaign and the Missouri GOP leveled charges of incompetence at a dead woman before her family had even viewed the corpse after she was killed in a plane crash.

Now he has imported Alan Keyes, and last night at a Talent rally in Cape Gireaudea, organized by Missouri Right to Life, Keyes equated the research conducted at top notch Missouri facilities like Washington University, the University of Missouri and the Stowers institute, "as the moral equivalent of Nazi medical experiments on the inmates of death camps during World War II."

Where the hell does this son-of-a-bitch get off comparing 32 cells in cryosuspension with my relatives who died in concentration camps? It is the height of intellectual dishonesty to equate the two, and likeley to offend a hell of a lot more people than it inspires. Especially when intra-state polling shows that over 70% of Missourian's get it, and are in favor of expanding the research conducted in our top-flight facilities.
