Swifty, the Official Donkey Delegate

Finally, a delegate
we can look forward to interviewing. Considering that the Dowbrigade’s
personal political philosophy is so far off the charts that we despaired
of finding anyone at the convention with whom we could have an enlightening
political discussion, it is good news to find that there will be at least
one delegate with some farm-bred common sense, bereft of a bloated ego,
and with a deeply ingrained instinct to hold their positions and not
be easily swayed. Now we have to worry about getting sugar cubes through
the security cordon…

Powell’s family farm in Rising Fawn, Ga., Friday, July 16, 2004. As one
of the most active Democrats in the rural part of Georgia, Morris Powell
was assured a spot months ago as a delegate at the party’s convention
in Boston. It took some negotiating, but now Swifty is a delegate too.
