George:

I can live with Republican illiteracy -- as long as they can. Using Democrat as an adjective doesn't make them look particularly bright or well-schooled, but then ... What I cannot countenance is Republican misrepresentation of concepts amounting to outright lying. To name only two examples of many, take the "Clean Air Act," which allows more lethal pollution than ever in our recent history, and the "Healthy Forests Act," which lays waste our natural forest areas and builds traffic lanes through them. This is truly wicked language manipulation.
