The fleecing of you...

“Why don’t we all step back and lower the rhetoric." The words Norm Coleman himself, governor extraordinaire. In reference to the CIA agent identity crisis.

That's right folks, lower the rhetoric. I'm not one to be skilled in the art of using refined political language to sound good, but I do think that this one ranks up there with some of the best shit ever. Now, rhetoric, defined as the use of language to write or speak effectively, should definitely be "lowered," with this I agree. I mean, why not? Why not put things in plain terms for the common folk. Norm Coleman's words definitely don't contradict this, that's for sure. He's not using words he doesn't understand to try to persuade people. Or is he? Well, one thing's for sure: Minnesota is lucky to have someone as well-rounded in intelligence as this man. Soon he will suggest lowering other things such as funding schools and not carrying concealed weapons. Oh, wait, shit, I had a mind attack... I think he already did that. And yes, I did have a mind attack. We are constantly reminded to stay stupid, so I'm going to go sniff acetone and drink varnish now.

I'm "lowering my rhetoric" right this minute by snacking on a new candybar-flavored confection called the "Re-Bar"TM, made of real milk-mercury coated lead nuts embedded in nickel-nugat!

Your rhetoric will be lowered to all-time record lows! Congratulations, you have partially completed the living out of the american dream (note that this is no longer a proper noun - I like to use/not use capital letters to my advantage).
