Wacko-of-the-Week, December 3, 2009

CHIP SALTSMAN,
aka "Chip the Magic Wacko"



John Saltsman is known as "Chip." It was a name he received because he was named after his father, John. The Saltsmans have apparently always been a clever bunch with a fine sense of humor. He still goes by the name "Chip" in much the same way that I go by the name "Bud" because I remind people of my father, who was a dandelion. Or my good friend "John" who reminds everyone of his father, John. Why they didn't call my good friend John "Chip" I will never understand.

Chip is trying to become Chairman of the Republican National Committee. This will make him rich and famous, just like those other RNC Chairpeeps of the past, whom you all remember so well and so fondly. (Dont' you?) Saltsman did screw up, however, as hereinafter explained:

RNC candidate Chip Saltsman’s Christmas greeting to committee members includes a music CD with lyrics from a song called “Barack the Magic Negro,” first played on Rush Limbaugh’s popular radio show.

Saltsman, a personal friend of conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, sent a 41-track CD along with a note to national committee members. “I look forward to working together in the New Year,” Saltsman wrote. “Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show.

The Republican National Committee, however, is not quick to jump on Saltsman's bandwagon. Why? Because he's a "personal friend" of Rush Limbaugh and Paul Shanklin, people whose time has come and gone.

So, Chip, while we can all chortle at your subtle use of antique humor, you need to know this: that crap only appeals to a small group of white males who are mostly pompous rednecks like yourself. You know the kind, they are your "personal" friends.

And that's why you're the Wacko of the Week: Because of the low quality of friends you keep.

Mrs. KELLEY LEMAY - of Ocala, Florida who hit herself in the face with a frying pan, trying to get her husband arrested for abuse, but who was jailed instead for a false police report. These are the kinds of things that make Christmas so special.
