So help me there was some big deal right wing personality who talked about how the government shouldn't subsidize education by saying that when he was a kid he wanted an education so he... went down to the public library and read books there. Not a hint of irony. Can't remember exactly who it was, but the dissonance stuck with me.
I never heard that one. If you figure it out, post back.
The difficulty in locating the original is that Republicans are ALWAYS trying to destroy public education and public libraries, so it's kind of like trying to Google John Smith.
