R.I.H. Thomas H. Naylor.

Sad news for secession deadenders - according to the Dixie singin' Thomas H. Naylor's handpicked 2010 candidate for the Vermont lieutenant governor position, Peter Garritano, Naylor is dead. Sadder still is Garritano's love for a flagrantly anti-Semitic, racist, patriarchical troll like Naylor. Garritano described Naylor's ideas as "farfetched"(sic) and "destructive" but like, ya know, whatever.

 See ya, bye.

 Oh, yeah. More to come.

UPDATE: Saturday, December 15, 10:00AM Garritano's lamentations have been disappeared from the VTCommons website. Publisher Rob Williams probably has a state funeral planned and Garritano's rambling, maudlin eulogy was perhaps premature. You can read the Seven Days obit here. I'll have a piece about Naylor's most recent, and possibly last, racist foray up this evening.
