The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Toby Keith!

Yet another entertainment celeb who thinks they know more than the average American out there.

Country singer Toby Keith is one of the music world's leading advocates of conservafoolery. Keith endorsed Bush in 2004 and donated to the Republican National Committee in 2006, which should surely guarantee him a place in the Hall of Shame of celebrity rightism. And now he's making a public spectacle of how he thinks the Democratic Party ain't worth missing because it's been taken over by the "extreme left."

Seriously. He said that.

Keith boasts that he's changing his voter registration from Democratic to independent because of this trend. (Like a Bush backer who gave to the RNC was a Democrat to begin with?) This despite the fact that the Democratic Party is probably the most conservative it's been since the 1910s.

The singer cried that the Democrats have "lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in." He complained that Failin' Palin is being criticized too harshly by "the kooks in the Democratic Party - this extreme left."

I agree with him that the party let too many kooks in - but they are kooks on the right like the DLC. Which is why I reregistered as a Green.

How hapless do you have to be to bolt the Democrats for being too liberal, when they've gotten more and more conservative for 15 years?
