Happy birthday, dear wingers

How shall we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy? Suggestions in Comments, please.

We could each send a postcard (because it doesn't have to be "opened") to Hillary. Signed: "It's been a great ten years. From the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy"

throw back some ice cold brewskis and perform a bit of auto-erotica on your fave pix of Hillary...what a catharsis!

I like how Deborah thinks.
Now, which card?

"Dear H: The Condor roosts at dawn. You know what to do. --VRWC"

We could recruit them to cross over and vote against her in the Super Tuesday Primaries, where it is legal. And maybe even where it is not. At least that way, she can run around with a truthful accusation for a change.

Huckabee was a beneficiary of this "conspiracy", as he became governor of Arkansas with Jim Guy Tucker's resignation.

I thought the VRWC started with Pat Buchanan's Kulturekampf speech at the Republican National Convention in 1992. Are you sure it's only 10 years old?

Well, it's the tenth anniversary of Hillary bestowing the name, anyway, and face it, she's a tad more influential than Buchanan. (Here's the speech. Nowhere does Pat use either the words "vast" or "conspiracy.")

Whats the frequency Kenneth?

She got it wrong. It's only half-Vast.

Let's have a bonfire on the It-Takes-a-Village Green and burn St. Hillary in effigy.
