VULGARITY – AT 8:19 P.M. ET:  You'd think there'd be some decency left in American politics.  It's hard to believe that when you read this:

You might call him Governor Moonbeam, but I prefer Governor Double Dip, and there’s nothing harmlessly moonbeamy and charmingly hippie dippie about his doing business with Jodie Evans, co-founder of the obnoxious anti-American group Code Pink and someone with a well-documented history of supporting terrorists and those countries that would do America harm.

The Great Melanie Morgan is putting together a protest for tomorrow and according to Variety’s Wilshire & Washington, it looks as though the protest will also be an opportunity to do a little star-gazing:

Jerry Brown will be at the Venice home of Jodie Evans for a $500-per-person event on Saturday, with a host list that includes Frank Gehry, Sally Kellerman, Bill Press, Stanley Sheinbaum, Hope Warschaw and Gail Zappa.

Hey, so what if Jodie Evans and her Code Pinksters likes to partner up with Hamas to donate $600,000 in “humanitarian aid” to the same terrorists out on a rampage to kill our military in Iraq? These prominent Hollywoodists and their moneyed ilk are just trying to be open-minded and tolerant. It’s not like she’s Sarah Palin.

COMMENT:  Let us call it as it is:  Code Pink is a pro-Communist and anti-American organization that has infiltrated into "respectable" political society.  It is anti-democratic.

Yet, you will never hear the group described accurately or completely in the mainstream media.  For more than half a century there's been an unspoken arrangement in elite journalism wherein Marxists are vaguely described as "anti-war" advocates, "peace" advocates, or "progressives."  If one tells the truth and identifies them as Communists, one is called a "McCarthyite."

It is outrageous that Jerry Brown, who at times has shown some hints of maturity, would accept the support of these political slimeballs.  But the sad fact is that, among Brown's potential pool of voters, a meeting with Code Pink will probably make no difference.  Just keep the social-project checks coming.
