Incompetent Rubes and Boobs…

...Harry Reid’s Democrats in the Senate, that is!

Check out this Washington Post story about the “debate on Iraq”.
Democrats rolled out cots and ordered pizzas as they settled in for a marathon Senate debate on Iraq last night that featured numerous speeches but little chance of getting any closer to resolving the stalemate over how to end the war.

Republicans were determined to block legislation forcing a withdrawal of combat troops, which was expected to come before bleary-eyed senators this morning in the nonstop session. Republicans dismissed the Democrats’ overnight effort as political theatrics and vowed to enforce a 60-vote threshold for passing the withdrawal proposal, which would bring most troop homes by May.


“The amendment will look just as bad at 3 a.m. as it does at 3 p.m.,” said Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.). “The Democrats’ all-night debate is nothing more than a publicity stunt—as Democrats have freely admitted.


So, it’s a publicity stunt, a bit of political theater where the Democrats bring in beds to symbolize their willingness and ability to debate one of the most important issues of the day.
Who brings a bed to a debate?
This issue is sooooooo important to me that I'll sleep here rather than someplace else! Sheesh! Who’s running this outfit? Woody Allen?

What really boils my blood is the thought that this is my tax dollars at work… And I use the word “work” very liberally here.

I really wish I could get paid a six figure salary to do what these boobs do for a living. Wouldn’t it be nice to be that non-productive and be able to put so much effort into “making a statement” as opposed to actually doing something useful and still get paid?

At least they don’t “work” year ‘round! Then think of how much mischief they could get into!

actually, I think that makes me feel worse! To make that much to accomplish nothing and not even work year around… Damn, I’m in the wrong line of work, that’s for sure.

No, Proof....Woody Allen would have at least brought a degree of intelligence to this comedy. Tex Avery or Hanna-Barbera might sink this low-brow to get a laugh but I don’t think so.

It’s Stooges-Go-To-Washington all the way.


The future ain’t what it used to be.....

After reading the headline, I was a little disappointed at the content of the post…

Although, if Senator Clinton snags the nomination, Hillary would be the titular head of the Democratic Party!
