20 Liberals

Hat tip to Ian at Inoperable Terran for this wonderful link. Each year, John Hawkins does a list of 20 Liberals who annoyed him the most in the previous year. This year's crop is a doozy! He starts at #20 with the following:

Then, as if he hadn't been conspicuous enough, he decided to try to attract some more attention to himself by hopping in his boat and going out looking for stranded people. One problem: the boat sprang a leak. Which leads us to our defining picture:
