Liars, Thieves, and Whores

Uncategorized

Someone was subbing for Rush Limbaugh yesterday, Mark Bellings I believe.

His defense of the Craig situation went something like this.

“I am not going to sit here and defend Larry Craig, but we get these articles today stating every misdeed by every republican over the last 4 years- Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Mark Foley, Ted (Tubes –M.N) Stevens. They are trying to show this is a pattern in the Republican party. What about Barney Frank’s roommate running an escort service, Ted Kennedy driving off a cliff and leaving the girl he was with to drown, Bill Clinton having an affair with an intern in the oval office, William Jefferson and his thousands stuffed in a freezer.”

The list went on.

I wondered how many people came to the same conclusion I did. Our government is completely full of liars, thieves, and whores. Corruption is bipartisan. The only thing that upsets me about the Larry Craig issue specifically is the fact that he showed him a Senate business card and said “What do you think of that?”

If I had been the cop, I would have told him exactly what I thought of that.

    You have to love how these people somehow get put above the law, too (e.g. punching a police officer and getting away with it). That’s the exact sort of thing that ticked off the founding fathers about George.

    That’s the only thing that bothered you? How about the blatant hypocrisy.

    Also, they left out a few names on that list:
    David Vitter
    Rick Renzi
    Newt Gingrich
    Sue Myrick
    Philip Giordano
    W. David Hager
    Mark Harris
    Donald Lukens
    Jeff Miller
    Helen Chenoworth
    Ken Calvert

    All Republican, family values, anti-abortionist, sex law morons…

    Chloe has been researching for two days now, and the ratio is larger than 2.5:1 so far…

    I’m leaving out the conservative lobbyist, religious money purses, and commentators (Joe Scarborough and Bill O’ Reilly).

    I forgot so many names, but I can’t leave out ol’ Ed Schrock.

    Who cares what the ratio is. The best you can say is “our crooks are less crooked than your crooks”.

    If I could change one thing about politics today, it would be the ballots. No Names on the ballots. Only write ins. That would disenfranchise uninformed voters, which should happen ASAP.

    Great, that way President Winfrey and Vice President Pitt can join together in their fight against poverty prone Marsupials in Madagascar for 8 years.

    better then president hillary and vice president rudy joining together to deploy peacekeepers in everyone’s home.

    Unless Oprah or Pitt told people to vote for them, they wouldnt get votes. And if they DID tell people to vote for them, do you think our current system would discourage it?

    Another call for a technocracy.
