In the iPhone era, why “quote” someone when you can play the bloody video right in their face?

No more “taken out of context,” here’s you in living color, you pompous pinstriped weasel.

Next stop: Murtha.

I was thinking the very same thing. Basically every phone out there, and certainly any smartphone, can EASILY play a video of this scumbag’s original speech to stuff a sock in his bold faced LIES.

Or maybe the old man needs to up his ginko biloba intake to help boost memory function.

I like that, is that a Twain quote?

WikiQuote: Mark Twain. Handy site. :)

It was satire

Botched joke defense?

Works (heh) for Kerry, I suppose.

A few weeks ago, Democrat Congressman Paul Kanjorski accidentally told the truth. He admitted that Democrats were just exploiting the Iraq war for political purposes and had been dishonest to voters simply to “win back the Congress.”

So…

That aide looks terrified, like the conservatives were going to assault her. Cowards all.

I guess eventually people will have to tote around laptops or ipods or something to show these people video of their own words

I agree, that should be done. Unfortunately these guys would just slam the lid shut.

“A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.”

“A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.”

Everyone, minus the MSM tools, knew this was what they wanted. They are just too incompetent to get the job done.

I love seeing them get their rears handed to them on a plate.

I see many people now adopt this behavior when they are stone cold wrong and presented with the proof. They get indignant, aggressive, irrational and confrontational. They are afraid their power and privilege will be usurped.

Saw it with Murtha and Reid et.al. VERY typical among Senators. I can barely stand any of those fake waxed dummies.

They warn us of an “imperial” Presidency. I’d say we have an “imperial” Senate. Out with the lot.

Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) provides the latest illustration of a lying, scheming politician who thinks he can get away with saying anything…

On May 23rd, we had this post:

12-term incumbent Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA), on the Dems’ 2006 mid-ter…

He’s busted and he knows it.

I see many people now adopt this behavior when they are stone cold wrong and presented with the proof. They get indignant, aggressive, irrational and confrontational. They are afraid their power and privilege will be usurped.

So they throw a fit to avoid having to say they were wrong.

Ego and pride. Nasty things they are. Ego and pride.

It’s a sign of weakness and deep character flaw. He never should have been in the position of leadership or governance of people in the first place.

We need to have even closer scrutiny of our elected officials, especially the local ones. They should be required to display competence, leadership, and governance skills before they are allowed to run for office, much like any other job where the employer requires an applicant to take tests and exams to prove they can perform the functions of the job.

Might weed out some of them from the start. And save us from the childish displays we just watched in that video.

Who is the woman in the video? Look how big her eyes get when he starts to quote the Senator. She doesn’t know whether to stand with him or back away.

She’s a syncophant, hanging on to the coattails of someone powerful. She’s a nobody. But strangely enough, there’s a moment when the Senator looks to her, as if to say, “what’s going on here? I’m important, aren’t I?” It was priceless.

They are both part of a dying teetering system that is going the way of the dinosaur due to the new media.
