Hell's Grannies

And now for something completely different.

Rochester Turning, a diligent voice on the left, reminds us in a recent post of the "Rochester Raging Grannies," a group of painfully earnest socialist ladies of mature years.   They perform labored satirical ditties of hatred toward Republicans and similar infidels.   Recently they turned up to screech abuse at Randy Kuhl in one of his Town Meetings.

We recall seeing them at the Park Avenue Festival a few years ago and were reminded instantly of the Monty Python sketch about "Hell's Grannies" -- "...these old hoodlums; these layabouts in lace ..." -- who terrorize a provincial English city.
