Scott Prouty Is Da Man!

Does the name "Scott Prouty" mean anything to you?  It should, as of today.  Mr. Prouty is the bartender who worked the $50,000 a plate dinner in Florida where Mitt Romney infamously declared that 47% of Americans are useless moochers, and also said that a Chinese sweatshop factory surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards looked good to him.  On MSNBC's Ed Schultz show, Prouty came forward as the guy who recorded that video. 

Now that Prouty has outed himself, you can be sure that Drudge, Limbaugh, O'Keefe, Brietbart.com, and the rest of the slimy right-wing attack dogs will be trying like hell to dig up some dirt on him.  And they may find some -- none of us are perfect -- but unless they discover Prouty's been eating live babies for breakfast, it won't matter much to me. 

Scott Prouty pressed "record" and made a video.  Then he had to make a decision.  He chose to release the tape, and he chose wisely.  We all needed to see it.  Thank you, Scott Prouty.  You da man!!

Of course, from this moment on, public citizens like Mr. Prouty will find it much harder to get work at any sort of political dinner, breakfast, or mid-day snack.  Henceforth, all caterers, wait staff, bartenders, busboys and dishwashers will have to pass a political purity test.  Claiming independent or apolitical status won't cut it anymore:  "You may sling our party's hash, but first you will pledge allegiance to us.  Cell phones or cameras at our fundraiser?  Are you fucking nuts?  And oh, by the way, our $50,000-a-plate candidate insists you that submit to a cavity search before you put on that apron."

Nevertheless, thanks again Scott!
