That was painful to watch.
Chuck the Schmuck and Aunt Esther are enough to make anyone lose their appetite by themselves. Adding Graham makes it even worse.
Off with their (talking) heads!
MrScribbler on February 15, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Love the look on King’s face while Max is screeching.
baldilocks on February 15, 2009 at 9:55 PM
they truly think we’re idiots…does Shumer truly belive the American people “dont care about pork”?
malkinmania on February 15, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Shumer is looking more and more like Grandpa Munster
malkinmania on February 15, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Maxine Waters needs a Rev-limiter,
as well as,a Liberal De-Speak-alator,
to slow her voice down,as well as the
above translation device,Liberal speak
into proper,and clear english!!!!!!!!
canopfor on February 15, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Stop that, now. Grandpa Munster was a good guy! Just as he was on “Car 54….”
I hate to see Al Lewis’s memory being tarnished that way.
And I also apologize to the ghost of Aunt Esther.
MrScribbler on February 15, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Yeah……….. especially Grahmnesty when you have two of the clowns that caused this whole mess in the first place right in your sights……
……… and you don’t even fire a shot.
Seven Percent Solution on February 15, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I sent a whole case of pork rinds to Schumer’s office. I know many others did too. Wonder what they did with them?
wepeople on February 15, 2009 at 10:06 PM
They won so they think they can move us around like we’re gutter bums.
Bicyea on February 15, 2009 at 10:06 PM
We’re ruled by fools. You morons can’t even run your own restaurant. Quit trying to run business.
Mojave Mark on February 15, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Heh.
OT: Legend has it that casting directors for Sanford and Son thought that LaWanda Page (RIP) was too young-looking and attractive for the role of Aunt Esther, but Redd Foxx–an old friend of Page’s–put his foot down. They had to ugly Page up and the rest is history.

The videos take too long for me to load, so I have to rely on synopses and comments to get the gist. But, he looks so smug in that picture that even though I am not a violent person I’d like to slug him—hard!
jeanie on February 15, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Your life is in peril if you are standing between either Schumer and Graham and the nearest television camera. They are opposite sides of the same coin. Opportunistic politicians.
highhopes on February 15, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Anything that starts off with Maxine Waters can’t be good…
Isn’t it about time we stopped calling him “Grahamnesty”? sheesh…Help us, Michael Steele…you’re our only hope

He actually made a good point about how partisan the porkulus was and that the GOP had offered on alternative that cost half as much and would actually jumpstart the economy.

Did Graham get a little pat on the head from Schmucker for being a good little little GOP lickspittle?
Go**am I’m tired of these pukes.

goat: Well I read where there’s cash in the stimulus to bring internet to the rural yokels like me. I hope by this they mean high speed–then there would be something in this Bill I could relate to. Did he actually say that? Thanks for the heads up.

Yeap………..
…….. It’s like the rapist (Democrats) behind the one way glass looking at a line up of women (American Citizens) he has violated, and telling the police (the press), “That one, that one, ……… and that one.”

All you need is a satellite dish for high speed internet, hell I’m just 80 miles from Silicon valley and we don’t have fiber optics either but we do have cable from a monopoly Comcast. The satellite option costs about the same as cable or through the phonelines via fiber optics.
goat on February 15, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Chucky and Goober are the two sorriest Senators on either side of the aisle. They both should be working in tollbooths on the West Virginia Turnpike. That’s about their speed.

I remember hearing that Redd insisted that all his longtime pals from the “negro” comedy circuit be given roles on “Sanford.” That’s what I call class….
LaWanda Page was hilarious, as were all of Foxx’s friends. As he was, comes to that. He was a favorite of mine from way back in his “party record” days.
MrScribbler on February 15, 2009 at 10:47 PM
I hope you’re from West Virginia…it’s only ok if we make fun of it. It’s like making fun of your brother but not letting anybody else do it.

Hey Lindsey, we are in this mess because of you and your “across the aisle” pals! You should have dealt with the dems being the enemy like you said al-qaeda was the enemy. You can’t negotiate, you can either take an ass whooping or destroy them. No other option, “my friend”..too late now…..

Why slam Graham now that he’s doing what we want? He’s fighting the porkulus, leave him alone.
jgapinoy on February 15, 2009 at 11:25 PM
That smirk on Schumer’s mug is enough to make the Blessed Mother’s fingers itch to slap him.
Can anybody explain to me (seriously) why we keep throwing money down the rathole that is Head Start? Thirty-plus years of evidence that it makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in the academic or social achievements of its students.
Lurking Vet on February 15, 2009 at 11:26 PM
It’s coming to a head. Sooner or later some white guy is going to blockade a street or drop a load of horseapples on a city hall lawn. They’ll drag him off as a racist, assault weapon owning, child pornographing, tax evading, bitter religious fanatic.
And we won’t question one word of the press release.

Graham, Lugar and McCain all voted no on the porkulus. There are quite a few red-state dems that voted yes, Begich(Ak), Lincoln and Pryor(Ar), Landriou(La), McCasskil(Mo), Bauchus and Tester(Mt), Conrad and Dorgan(ND), Nelson(Ne), Johnson(SD), Byrd and Rockefeller(WV), and those are just the states that went for McCain and not the purple ones Obama flipped, that is where our anger should be focused.
goat on February 15, 2009 at 11:36 PM
Um, I was just wondering. What ARE we exactly supposed to do about all of this mess? Don’t tell me vote them out. That doesn’t seem to have worked and I don’t see it working. Elections are 2 to 4 years down the road and our country will be ruined by then. Faxes aren’t working. Phone calls aren’t working. Emails aren’t working. Anyone have any ideas? Feeling more like a sheeple everyday. Against my will.

PercyB on February 16, 2009 at 1:12 AM
Mary Landrieu only cares about New Orleans and not the rest of Louisiana. Her offices were basically telling us that because the Dems won, she’s going to vote with the dems even though the only people who want the stimulus bill are NOLA Democrats who have been sucking the teet of the government for generations.
She acts like a conservative when she panders for votes but she’s as liberal as they come. Maybe next time the Louisiana GOP will run a real conserviative against her in 2014. I’m hoping Steve Scalise (LA 1) will consider a run for her senate seat.

Let your heart grow colder and as bitter as a falcon in the dive
There was a dream, a dying ember
There was a dream, you must remember
Resurrect that dream
And when the final duel is near
Lift your spear and fly
Piercing into the sky and higher
If we wait for the darkest hour
Till we spring alive
Then with claws of fire, we will devour like a falcon in the dive

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Ladywolfnl on February 16, 2009 at 2:13 AM
No, no, no, no — I think that what I’ve said is what other economists have said across the political spectrum, which is that if you delay acting on an economy of this severity, then you potentially create a negative spiral that becomes much more difficult for us to get out of. We saw this happen in Japan in the 1990s, where they did not act boldly and swiftly enough, and as a consequence they suffered what was called the “lost decade” where essentially for the entire ’90s they did not see any significant economic growth.
- Barack Obama
In total, Japan spent $6.3 trillion on construction-related public investment between 1991 and September of last year, according to the Cabinet Office. The spending peaked in 1995 and remained high until the early 2000s, when it was cut amid growing concerns about ballooning budget deficits.
In the end, say economists, it was not public works but an expensive cleanup of the debt-ridden banking system, combined with growing exports to China and the United States, that brought a close to Japan’s Lost Decade. This has led many to conclude that spending did little more than sink Japan deeply into debt, leaving an enormous tax burden for future generations.
- The New York Times
President Obama and liberal intellectuals continue to perpetuate the textbook Keynesian theory that increased government spending is the best way to revive the economy, but they do not cite one real-world historical example in which such policies have been successful, and they brush aside countless examples of such policies being an abject failure. Last night, Obama added a new twist by citing an example to make his point, when in reality the example undermines him. Either he’s ignorant of what happened in Japan, or he correctly thought he could slip one past an ignorant press corps. Neither possibility is encouraging.
- The American Spectator
MB4 on February 16, 2009 at 2:50 AM
Well there it is, isn’t it…………
………. with respect, jerrytbg, I am not pointing you out, but I have heard that sentiment starting to rumble a little around the edges that I just wanted to add my $0.02.
Before anyone stops adding their own unique intelligence, point of view, experience, and especially humor to the mix, take a step back and see what has happened to our country…..
…. the liberal left have been chopping away at our Republic one hack at time with “liberalism” for the past fifty years.
It seems that they have finally struck a cord, and feel comfortable to reveal themselves for who they are with a Democrat controlled Congress and Executive power, and the hard shift to the left………….
…… I say, that even though the liberals control a majority of the “media” we have this wonderful venue to talk to each other,. spread ideas, and spread information that would never make it on the cover of the New York Times.
The genie is out of the bottle………..
…… They can’t shut us down. If one of us, just one of us starts being harassed or abused by a government agency for our free speech rights, don’t you think that word would spread like wildfire?
They are over reaching, and I am hearing from thousands that were in the middle on the last election, who are seriously pissed off……
………… Never give up! Never give in for fear! Never be afraid to speak your mind if you have taken the time to be well informed and you back your argument up with facts and not just talking points!
If you do give up …………. they win, and the United States of America as we knew it growing up, will not exist anymore.
I for one………..
………. am not going to let that happen.

Rush and Hannity he likes to bait
But if he had any wisdom to go down that road he would hesitate
As Obama’s snake oil starts to be seen through
He will add to his bag of tricks some more venom too
If scarin’ folks dont do the trick
His health care system will make you all sick
With Harry and Nancy he likes to whore
Wont be forever till more and more know the score
If this poem seems disjoint
That it takes that to describe Obama’s nature may be the point

“I went home and got primary opponents when I wanted to be bipartisan”
That’s the problem, these guys all think they should be elected for life. 100 mini dictators in the senate. We have to get rid of the amendment, I think it’s the 17th, that makes the senate an electable position. That was the beginning of our problems when senators went from being elected by the state legislatures to being a generally elected position. After that, any politician who gets a face lift should be barred from public office for life. You hear that schumer you butt pirate?

I saw this at aol. I thought Ed might like a new aol poll, the results thus far are interesting. The poll is about McCain’s criticism of Obama and whether or not people agree with it.
Terrye on February 16, 2009 at 6:51 AM
Every Repub but three did the right thing. Those three knew exactly how they were undermining their party. In fact to leave no doubt, they voted twice. This monstrously lies at their feet.
We cannot control the Dems but we can bring pressure to bear on Repubs. Collins, Snowe and Specter need to be thrown out of the party. As Repubs they have empowered Schumer, Waters etc.
This bill will haunt the country for decades by way of its cost including interest and the moral hazard going forward.
patrick neid on February 16, 2009 at 6:58 AM
No.
It will be time on the day he stands up and admits he made a terrible and foolish mistake when he supported a bill that would have rewarded tens of millions of foreigners for showing contempt for our laws, and when he issues a sincere and abject apology for slandering as “racists” and “bigots” and “nativists” all Americans who disagreed with him about the merits of the bill.

These are the politicians of the past.Be a politician of the future. Run for a local race: school board, city council, mayor, county clerk… whatever is remotely possible.
We need to nurture a new breed of politician who believes that the Constitution is there to LIMIT government and ensure our LIBERTY. If you can’t fix what’s wrong with Washington or your State Capitol, fix what’s wrong with your community. It will grow from there.
I’m running for City Council. I’m a political unknown. I’m underfunded. I’m running against an incumbent who has spoiled her constituents with community centers, dog parks, and other money pits. (And used eminent domain rather freely to do it) I don’t care. I’m running on the strength of the few core principles that founded our Nation.
Win or lose, I’m sending our message. Who else has the courage to try?

There are hundreds of excellent GOP congressmen, governors, & state legislators.
How many non-GOP conservatives like you are there in the USA with any authority? One? Two?
If you want to do any good at all for conservatism, work to make the GOP more conservative & more electable. Yes, the GOP can be both if we do a good job of explaining conservatism like Reagan & Newt did in their heyday.

I concur. We cannot allow this to happen. The odds are stacked against us as they have used the government to strengthen their hand, but we have something they cannot take away – The Truth.
It seems most obvious that what politicians are trying to do now is to establish a government god. An iron beast that they think cannot be toppled. Let me state this message to the unbelievers and the doubters – It can’t be denied that the last administration expanded the welfare state, and that this administration is determined to finish the job. The purpose of this welfare state is to establish an immovable bureaucracy, one that takes the role of giver of life, giver of goods, provider of services. At its core it is nothing less than the establishment of a government that seeks to replace God. Politicians worship the state, they see themselves as angels of this state god, and they seek to shepherd the sheep. You are that sheep.

On this Presidents Day, I believe Washington and Lincoln would have both advocated overthrowing today’s government and start over.

I can’t watch it. I read elsewhere that NY State is getting $20+ Billion from the porkulus package. No wonder Chuckie Schmuckie is leering….which reminds me….I need to go take my morning Schmumer.
(and kudos to pugwriter for running for office!)
Let’s roll….and boycott Maine!
