George Carlin Had The GOP Figured Out 35 Years Ago
"He noted the corruption and criminality rampant in the Reagan administration way back in 1988 and Reagan is considered by today's Tea Party adherents to have been "too liberal."
"I really haven't seen this many people in one place," he observed in the opening of a monologue, "since they took the group photograph of all the criminals and lawbreakers in the Ronald Reagan administration."
By the end of Reagan's term in office 138 officials in his administration had been either indicted or investigated for wrong-doing and we are not talking about low-level players here, we are talking about members of his cabinet.
"These are the ‘law and order' people," Carlin noted, referring to conservative of his day. "These are the people who are against street crime. They want to put street criminals in jail to make life safer for the business criminals. They're against street crime providing that street isn't Wall Street"."
