So Vice President Biden made news today by telling House Democrats today that the teabaggers have "acted like terrorists" during the debt ceiling standoff. President North Star will probably give him a scolding for saying so, but what he really should be doing is setting up a secure conference call with SEAL Team 6. Maybe a nice black-helicopter tour of the Potomac for a few properly selected chiefs of think tanks and cable news operations would be just the thing to lower the temperature in the glistening swamp on a hill. JK LULZ!!!Meanwhile,at the bottom of the TPM piece linked above, we learn that Republican National Committee (RNC) chair "Reince Priebus" has "tweeted" that VP Biden has "more than crossed a line today when he called fiscal conservatives 'terrorists'. I demand an apology." Haha! I hope Biden gives "Priebus" an apology by way of his posterior annular ring.
By the way, I never make fun of a person's name, but I'll make an exception here. What the fuck kind of name is "Reince Priebus" supposed to be? I mean, really? And I'll add to that rhetorical question the amusing discovery made awhile back by some unnamed wag: if you remove all the vowels from his name, you're left with RNC PR BS. If that's not evidence that witty time travelers from the future have modified our current timeline, then I'm a monkey's uncle and so are you.
"acted like" terrorists? No, they ARE terrorists. But how can you effectively deal with them? The jailing (gaoling) for 6 weeks of the guy who tried hitting Rupert Murdoch with a pie in the face is very discouraging indeed. I'd suggest to subsequent pie-throwers-- bury a brickbat under the cream, or better yet a gross of Eagle Claw L774 2X Strong Lazer Treble Hooks. And start with the terrorist's owners-- the Koch Brothers in Wichita KS.
ReplyDeleteMutha: I appreciate the sentiment. It's rich how these people howl when someone calls them a name, especially the same names they call their opponents with zero provocation. However, even though the "terrorist" designation hurts their feelings, I think it's not a rich enough comparison. I think the GOP business model and SOP are based directly on La Cosa Nostra. If Obama had any guts he'd have directed the AG to open a RICO investigation on the RNC.
ReplyDeleteAt Delphi the ethylene seeps into the oracles chambers, and the vile gurgling of other worldly posession begins. Then, after a long pause wence you hear the far cry of an eagle, from behind a translucent veil she screams: "Beware ALEC*! Woe to the deaf and lame of heart," and then withdraws silently, like a passing shadow.
