They Will Say ANYTHING! – GOP Comedy Hour!
If you still wonder how the GOP “permanent majority” wound up a “present minority,” here you go:
Minority Leader John Boehner. Birth Date May 13, 2009.
GOP Comeback Strategy: Hate’s Got Coattails! Before listening to the video, note that House Report 111-086 accompanying the bill contains the following:
The bill has been crafted in a fashion that fully protects first amendment and other constitutional rights. The bill is designed only to punish violent acts, not beliefs or thoughts–even violent thoughts. The legislation does not punish, nor prohibit in any way, name-calling, verbal abuse, or expressions of hatred toward any group, even if such statements are hateful. Moreover, nothing in this legislation prohibits the lawful expression of one’s deeply held religious or personal beliefs. The bill only covers violent actions that result in death or bodily injury committed because the victim has one of the specified actual or perceived characteristics.[Emphasis added]
Well, We Find It Interesting That You Can Talk and Sit Down at the Same Time. The Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages reported Congressloon Michelle Bachmann’s (R-MN) recent take on the swine flu. “‘I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter,’ she told a conservative website. ‘And I’m not blaming this on President Obama. I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.’ Since Gerald Ford of the GOP was actually president at the time of the earlier outbreak, Bachmann was roundly criticized for her comment.”
Forbes Magazine Reveals: “Waterboard Hannity for Charity” Now Surpasses Gates Foundation as World’s Richest Philanthropic Organization. On his April 22, 2009 t.v. show, at about one minute into the video below, Sean Hannity told Charles Grodin that he’d be waterboarded as a charity fundraiser for our troops and their families. He’s not spoken of it since despite Keith Olberman’s generous offer to contribute funds to the fundraiser, and Waterboard Hannity for Charity’s active online fundraising efforts: you may go there to “pledge a donation to the organization of your choice and encourage Mr. Hannity to deliver on his promise!”
After All, Bush and Cheney Did It the Old-Fashioned Way: Theft. The Caucus reports: “Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX), may indeed face an uphill fight with his argument that Mr. Obama is not trying to create jobs. In an interview, Mr. Sessions cited rising unemployment in asserting that the administration intended to ‘diminish employment and diminish stock prices’ as part of a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy to consolidate power.Mr. Sessions, in his seventh term, said Mr. Obama’s agenda was ‘intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it.’ By next fall, he predicted, voters may regain appreciation for the era of Republican governance when ‘many dreams were achieved,’ the size of the economy doubled and employment and financial markets hit record levels.”
And, Dude, the Pina Coladas Are to Die For! Capitol Briefing reports: Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, said he has visited Guantanamo and found it to be completely acceptable as a facility for the 240 alleged terrorists there. Transferring the prisoners to a continental U.S. site would not result in any better conditions for the prisoners, and keeping them at such a remote location makes it almost impossible for anyone to break them out, Sessions said. “They wouldn’t be treated any better in the United States, and they wouldn’t have the tropical breezes blowing through,” Sessions said.
