Moonbattery Outside of California

California has more than it's "fair share" of Moonbats. Nancy Pelosi and her announced opponent in the next election, Cindy Sheehan come immediately to mind.

It's true that Moonbats tend to gather together. We even have a few right here in Jawja. Cynthia McKinney (Dem), formerly a Congresscritter from Atlanta comes quickly to mind.

And then there's the Mayor of the bustling metropolis of Macon, GA, an alleged gentleman by the name of Jack Ellis, or maybe that would be Hakim Mansour Ellis...

See the whole story HERE.

It would seem that Hizzoner Mr. Ellis (or would that be His Most Excellent Effendi Ellis?) sent off a little missive to that great humanitarian and lover of liberty His Excellency El Presidente Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.



...the mayor of the central Georgia city formally reached out to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with a declaration of solidarity.

Mayor Jack Ellis said the declaration, sent about two weeks ago by courier, was a message that local leaders can stand together despite disagreements at the highest reaches of government.


Of course, Hizzoner is taking a little heat from his neighbors and friends...



The mayor's decision prompted 20 pages of comments on The Telegraph's online message board before the newspaper decided to take it down. Some called for demonstrations and other ways to signal their distaste for the mayor's move.

Ronald Johnson, a 71-year-old resident of nearby Houston County, called the move "treasonous" and is urging neighbors to boycott the city's businesses until Ellis is rebuked by city officials.

"It's unbelievable that he would do what he's done," said Johnson. "That is so wrong."



It would seem that Fox News follows the lead of AP/REUTERS/CBS/CNN/ABC/NYT in noting Ellis' party affiliation at the end of the article, whereas an affiliation to the major opposition party would be noted in the very first paragraph.
