Franky responded to YLfB!

By posting a new little disclaimer on the sidebar of his blog!

"It's hard to find someone who's neutral about state Rep. Frank Lasee, whose stands on the issues delight his polical friends and infuriate his politial adversaries." Green Bay Press Gazette

Frank doesn't provide a link so that we can confirm either his or the Green Bay Gazette's inability to spell the word 'political', although, in a rare moment of comity, YLfB presumptively attributes this mistake to the Green Bay Gazette, since Franky's recent spat of posting other people's ideas have us skeptical that he's not really capable of any expression beyond cntl-c, cntl-p.

In any case, Frank did manage to find a quote that portrays him as cavalier and controversial instead of stupid and, well, stupid. Not that the quote's that brilliant too: In response, YLfB has come up with a list of people, throughout history, who have delighted their political friends and infuriated their enemies, prefaced by the kernel IM:

JP: so i'm going to come up with a list of people throughout history to whom this applies similarly to
JP: hitler's #1
JP: attila the hun?
Dr. Nugz: Anybody from George W. to Abraham Lincoln.
JP: yeah, i'm looking for obviously bad figures, don't want to spend time debunking the lincoln crush we have
Dr. Nugz: That's the problem with his quote - everybody fits it.
JP: i know
JP: that's why i'm going to blatently cherrypick
Dr. Nugz: All it says is - Frank has friends and enemies.
JP: precisely
Dr. Nugz: Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, Pinochet, Batista, Castro, Hernando Cortes...
JP: this IM is in the post
JP: just in case someone really doesn't get it

(1) Adolf Hitler. Galvanized post-WWI Germany into a frenzy while sending his enemies to concentration camps.

(2) Attila the Hun. I'd rather have been on the side of the ravaging hordes.

(3) Hmm, ok, this can be a YLfB contest: Take one of Dr. Nugz' suggestions and think about how they had friends, and enemies, and then think about Frank, simmer, and let us know. I think Chairman Mao is a particularly good selection.
