Sticking it to Tom Corbett
Earlier this month, Morning Call columnist Bill White asked readers to send him ideas for a Tom Corbett bumper sticker. I'm happy to report that the readers did not let him down.
White had one hell of a job picking from the the dozens of great entries he received. That's probably because Corbett has produced such a huge pile of dumb in his first few months as PA Governor - from his full frontal attack on public education, to his refusal to lay a pinkie on his buddies in the "natural resources" (aka "let's see how many ways we can destroy the environment") biz, Corbett has been exactly as advertised in last year's election: a friend to the rich and powerful, an enemy to the middle class and poor. Like Tea Party icons everywhere, he's a government official who is working as hard as he can to destroy government.
So without further ado, enjoy these entries from Bill White's readers:
• Corbett is out of his frackin' mind.
• Corbett: Hey, at least I don't drink as much as Rendell.
• PA: The Commonwealth where the common wealth goes to the Gas Companies.
• Heat your home Corbett style — light your tap water on fire!
• Corbett: Leave no clean water behind, just children!
• Corbett, taking PA up a toxic creek!
• Pa: Where welfare is for the wealthy, and everyone else gets fracked.
• Corbett: Destroying education, health care and the environment for the good of all!
• You've got a fracking friend in Pennsylvania.
• Corbett: Making Pennsylvania more depressing than Billy Joel could have imagined.
• Gas drillin' is thrillin' when you're frackin' for free
• Gov. Corbett: Frakturing Public Education.
• Let them eat shale!
• Corbett: The best governor money can buy.
And in the end, White chose two winning entries. For the record, I like some of the nonwinners above a lot more than the two that White picked - but hey, it's his column and he gets to have the final say. Here are the two winners:
• Corbett: Hooked on Frack
• Corbett: Every child left behind
