David Kelton is a great case in point.

He contributes to right-wing Republican candidates and causes, and they contribute to him.

His wife is an officer in a Republican Club and wrote a letter urging Republicans to vote for Kelton in the Democratic Party Primary because they could still vote Republican in the November general election.

He's the poster child for desperate Right-Wing Republicans who will do anything, say anything, and stop at nothing - including pretending to abandon the Repugnant Party - if it will help them get into power where they impose their Right-Wing agenda on the rest of us.

He's given money to the Eagle Forum, Tom DeLay's money laundering buddy, Ed Shack, and the Republican Liberty PAC -- that's Republican code for fly the flag high while you screw the working people.

But I am touched by the appreciation and I hoped for it enough that I did want to scribble down, so I had the names in case you were commie, homo-loving sons-of-guns, and so I want to thank my best friend, Sata Matsuzawa. My circle of long-time support, Mara, Brian, Barry and Bob. The great Cleve Jones. Our wonderful writer, Lance Black. Producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks.
