		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In some other awesome recent Hotair blog entry there were several hundred posts from Hot air people very very very upset at the thought of an American citizen wishing another American to die. And here you are wishing for the deaths of thousands of them.

As for your childish attack on Sykes (not sure whay you feel the need to bring her race into, it but it seems to suit you) - she’s got a univeristy degree and is the daughter of a Pentagon army colonel. I can see why you have such resentment for her. Or maybe it’s envy.

As for your second to last paragraph, perhaps you don’t realize - or refuse to acknowledge - that for every little whine you made about the left has its corresponding match on the right.

But there definitely is one thing you do have right in your post.

Dave Rywall on May 12, 2009 at 2:24 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;


All right, Davie. I suppose you get a tingle when a$$holes like me reinforce your dynamic ripostes.   I&#039;m sure many before me have played this fruitless little game with you.  So this will be my last &quot;response.&quot;

Only a fool would equate &quot;university degree&quot; with educated.  I&#039;ve got two of the damn things so I guess that makes me an &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ignorant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; a$$hole.

The fact that her father is a Pentagon Army colonel is, of course, irrelevant to anything she says or does. I&#039;ve got family in the military, too. Hollywood made a movie about my Uncle&#039;s exploits during the Korean War. (He was on the American side, by the way.)  So your point escapes me, but I&#039;m stupid so don&#039;t be too harsh.   

I describe her as black because she is black. My high school English teacher was always pushing descriptors. You intuit racism.  Is that what the therapists mean by transference? By the way, my understanding is that Sykes is the one who makes a big deal of her race in her act and apparently, made a reference to the President&#039;s race, as well.  

Of course, according to you I should have left out ugly and lesbian, as well.  

As for my little whines,perhaps this will make you feel better; I find all politicians, whatever color, to be detestable creatures, period.</description>

		<description>First, I’m not joking. Second, I don’t give a rat’s behind what an ugly, uneducated, no talent, black lesbian says about anything. Third, I am an a$$hole.

However, as an admitted a$$hole, I pay my taxes. I don’t sponge off the government. I don’t arrange fake jobs for my family. I don’t use federal tax dollars to make myself and my family rich. I don’t rig election laws. I don’t vote for people who run brothels in their condos or leave women to drown, alone and in the dark. I have a visceral hatred for those who would jeopardize the security of this country in one year and then make millions off of government institutions the next - all because they’re politically connected. Yes, I’m an a$$hole.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

&lt;blockquote&gt;According to the 700+ Hotair comments about Sykes, 9/11 jokes must never ever ever be made because it shows gross disrespect for the 3000+ victims that day.

I will assume an apology to America is forthcoming from you.

Well, since you’re not an a$$hole like Sykes, right? Right?

		<description>Why do you think 9/11 jokes are funny, Dave?

You trying to make a joke out of whether or not I think 9/11 jokes are funny is a joke about 9/11. America awaits your apology too.</description>

		<description>If ever, EVER, there was a strong case for setting term limits, this huge tic is it.  He&#039;s been feeding off our backs for centuries.  The problem is you can&#039;t get anyone in Congress to vote for term limits because most of them are just as bad as he is.  sigh.</description>

		<description>And nothing will happen. Nothing will be done. The Political class will go one robbing the people of the United States with impunity because they disperse our money to reliable voting blocks. We are on a steady slide to destruction.</description>

		<description>Everything we need to know about Rep. Murtha he &lt;a href=&quot;http://spectator.org/archives/2006/09/29/murtha-and-the-fbi-the-directo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;told us about in Abscam&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;MURTHA: Let me tell you what I see. Howard, his deal with you guys, or two other guys [Thompson and Murphy], I&#039;m dealing. I&#039;ll tell you how I feel about my part of it. My part is that you don&#039;t need to spend a goddamn cent on this thing. That&#039;s my feeling. Howard feels differently about it. These other two guys have as much influence with the administration and in Congress as anybody. There&#039;s no question about it. There&#039;s no question about these other two guys being long-term members, being chairmen of the right committees. They&#039;re the right people. But -- you gotta look at it realistically, you gotta know all the facts before you can do anything at all. Now, as I told Howard, I want to deal with you guys awhile before I made any transactions at all, period. In other words I want to say, &quot;Look put some money in these guys,&quot; and I, just let me know, so I can say, you know, these guys are gonna do business in our district. Then there&#039;s a couple businesses that I&#039;m not personally involved in but would be very helpful for the district, that I could make a big play of, be very helpful to me. After we&#039;ve done some business, then I might change my mind. But right now, that&#039;s all I&#039;m interested in. [12:00:40] Period. And I&#039;m gonna tell you this. If anybody can do it... and I&#039;m not bullshitting you fellas, I can get it done my way. There&#039;s no question about it. I can get it done. And the thing you gotta remember is, what happened to [South Korean agent Tongsun?] Park and those guys, you can&#039;t start going to people that you don&#039;t know, that don&#039;t level with you, that bullshit you, that don&#039;t look into it. For instance, I may tell you in a week after I look into it can&#039;t be done. It cannot be done. And I&#039;ll tell you. I won&#039;t bullshit you. When I make a deal, it&#039;s a goddamn deal. That&#039;s all there is to it. And, uh, you know, after it&#039;s done, you may tell me, well you&#039;ve already done it, there&#039;s no reason for me to deal with ya. Howard tells me that you&#039;re not that kinda people, that, you uh, you know, that you deal, you know...

[..]

MURTHA [12:14:13]: The thing is, what I&#039;m trying to do is establish the very thing that you talked about. That tie to the district, that&#039;s all I need, from then on -- I&#039;m gonna be there 20 years in that goddamn Congress. I don&#039;t want to screw it up by some little goddamn thing along the way that, if I wanted to make a lot of money I would have been outside making a lot of money. And you, I know what I can do and what I can&#039;t do...I won&#039;t bullshit you, that&#039;s for sure....you got two good people, and I just want to know -- well, I know the facts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2131539854655700584&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Caught on tape&lt;/a&gt;, too, which you do have to love.  Needless to say the Democratic Party did nothing about him, business as usual.  Is it any surprise that a bit of name dropping nepotism is seen now after a start like this?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m thinking the new Murtha Wing of the Federal Penitentiary at Loretto, PA is going to need 100 beds at least.

There&#039;s still time to earmark that construction, Jack.</description>
