Amen. That guy gets it, but plenty of others ought to take his advice about seeing a shrink.

Shirley Temple Black passed away last night at the age of 85. In addition to being a celebrated child star, Temple Black also had a successful political career — as a Republican.

These geniuses don’t wonder about that — they know. See, according to them, not only was Temple Black an evil Republican, but she was also a rabid racist:
