“The Democratic Party is a party of values and a few values that we appreciate are drinking… and liberals fucking.” To be fair to Pelz, the guy who blurted out the word fucking was not Pelz. It was Sandeep Kaushik, spokesman to King County Executive Ron Sims .

Sandeep says of his “final breach with the Pope” that he won’t apologize, “until Dick Cheney apologizes for dropping the F-bomb on the Senate floor.”

I never liked giving Sandeep the last word, though. So let’s turn the microphone over to Mr. conservative Values, Anton Scalia:

The Boston Herald has the hilarious story on this one:
