The old Republican Party has become the Knot-head Party, so named
during the last Republican convention in Montgomery when a change of
name was proposed, the first suggestion being the Christian
Conservative Constitutional Party, and campaign buttons were even
printed with the letters CCCP before an Eastern-liberal commentator
noted the similarity to the initials printed on the backs of the
Soviet cosmonauts and called it the most knotheaded political bungle
of the century -- which the conservatives, in the best tradition,
turned to their own advantage, printing a million more buttons reading
"Knotheads for America" and banners proclaiming "No Man Can Be Too
Knotheaded in the Service of His Country."
-- Walker Percy, Love in the Ruins (novel, 1971)
