Bestest Compliment Ever

Republicans are super good at handing out compliments. For example, Edwin O. Merwin and James S. Ulmer, chairs of the Bamberg County Republican Party and the Orangeburg County Republican Party, who wrote an op-ed in a local paper defending Republican Senator Jim DeMint for not taking earmarks.

"There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves. By not using earmarks to fund projects for South Carolina and instead using actual bills, DeMint is watching our nation's pennies and trying to preserve our country's wealth and our economy's viability to give all an opportunity to succeed."

He's like a penny pinching Jew, so back him up.

Two guys wrote this. TOGETHER. And neither thought the "Jew saying" would be offensive. And right now, I guarantee, they are completely baffled about the hub-bub. They should just consider themselves lucky they scrapped the paragraph about Jew tails.
