Got it, as well as sharing the sentiment.

Interesting that by the times Al Capp introduced Joanie Phoanie in late 1966, she (Joan Baez) had already had at least three gold albums and was regularly selling out concert venues for more than five years. In his popular L'il Abner comic strip he fired one of the first shots in the culture wars by caricaturing possibly the original "limousine liberal."

Quote:
Phoanie loves them dirty Reds, the Viet Cong, and badmouthing capitalism while playing for $10,000 a show. She adopts Abner and Daisy Mae's son Honest Abe, and hires Abner and Daisy Mae as servants to take care of him. But when he and his folks proudly sing "My Country Tis of Thee," she un-adopts Abe, and kicks them all out.
