The Repubs strike back!

Not to be outdone by Obama and the Demos in reaching today's youth the Repubs have put together an exciting CD collection (that will also be podcast!) of Repub golden oldies. How golden and how oldy? A former Repub speech writer in the Wall Street Journal explains:

Open it up and you are treated to photos of Warren G. Harding staring into the horn of a crank phonograph, Herbert Hoover listening to a wireless, and a glum-looking Calvin Coolidge simply glowering at a camera. In an accompanying letter, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan writes that the CD includes "riffs by Dr. Russell Kirk," as well as "the pounding rhythm section of the Austrian School of Economics."

Warren G Harding: the second most corrupt admin we've ever had. Herbert Hoover: the guy who calmly watched the nation slide into the Great Depression. What role models! On the other hand, I like Silent Cal: so many good anecdotes.
