5. Oh gawd I heard some excerpts from Weepy McManTan's

blubbery whine yesterday on Alan Colmes' show, what a pathetic d-bag.

Boner's STILL feeling sorry for himself and persecuted about being a poor kid with a funny name from a too-big Catholic family, who got tormented by the prep school classmates (who he is STILL resentful of for having it "better than him").

Hey Boner - I was a poor kid with a funny name from a medium-sized Catholic family, who went to prep school and got some degree of similar tormenting. Since my teenage years I worked cr@p jobs morning and night, any jobs I could get, to support myself. I was the first member of my family to attend college. I went to college on scholarship and part-time work. I've worked my butt off all my life.

I've got NOTHING to cry about. When I think of what my parents came from, especially my dad (WWII DP), I see how a man with literally NOTHING, and a farm girl born during the Great Depression into a too-big Catholic family, were able to make a better life for themselves than their parents had, and helped us make a better life for ourselves than they had.

What a sap Boner is, still crying over how AWFUL it was for him to endure the SHAME of being POOR and having to WORK HARD. No wonder he worships the oligarchy and despises the working class.

And I get the XTreme Tan now too - the prep school classmates he still envies so deeply didn't have to work all summer at dad's bar, they went on vacations and acquired leisure tans. I'm betting he slathered himself in QT and Man-Tan every September to attempt to hide his summer job pallor. Which, I'm sure, garnered him an extra portion of torment. That cr@p fooled NOBODY, I know, I tried it, with similar results.
