Pity Maxine Waters. She Just Realized She Can’t Build a Jobs Bill out of Spite and Corruption.

If you built a ranking system for risible loudmouths, you’d have to rank Rep. Maxine Waters (D – Greed) somewhere in the top five, if not at the very top of the list. Whenever she speaks, the intelligence of the entire planet drops a solid ten points. She is to stupidity what the sun is to global warming: an immense generator whose most gentle utterance causes meters to spike across the planet.

On Saturday, in front of a friendly crowd, Waters cranked up the old hate machine and set it to churn out a new offense against the thinking world.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) came out swinging against Republicans in Congress on Saturday as she addressed the unemployed during a forum in Inglewood.

Waters vowed to push Congress to focus on creating more jobs. “I’m not afraid of anybody,” said Waters. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to hell.”

Now, I suppose I could make some comment here about the Democrats and their insistence on the “new civility” in the wake of Rep. Giffords’ shooting, an insistence that usually came in between slanders about Sarah Palin, talk radio, conservative blogs, or the Tea Parties. I won’t, though. That’s low-hanging fruit and I have a better point to make.

I honestly don’t care what Maxine Waters has to say about jobs because she’s proven that she knows as much about job creation as she does about quantum entanglement. I clipped a paragraph out of the quote above because I didn’t want to give you the punch line to Water’s infantile tirade too early. But now, it’s time.

The event occurred a day after new statistics were released showing that California’s jobless rate last month went up to 12%, from 11.8%.  California now has the second-highest rate of unemployment in the nation, trailing only Nevada at 12.9%, and its jobless rate is well above the U.S. average of 9.1%.

Maxine Waters has allegedly represented the State of California in Congress since 1991 — twenty years. She has built enough clout to write her own jobs bill, but she hasn’t. She could gone to small business owners and learned what they need to produce good jobs at good wages, but she hasn’t. What has she done? Well, she’s spent a lot of her time in Ethics Committee hearings into why money that was supposed to go to at-risk banks ended up in a bank that wasn’t even in her state. Her family has done quite well in those twenty years also. Her husband, son, and daughter all made very good money working in areas over which Waters has quite a bit of influence.

Maxine Waters has done quite well. Her constituents, on the other hand, quite clearly have not. Normally, corrupt politicians bring some of their dirty money home to the voters, but Waters hasn’t bothered. Why should she? She is safe in her district and all her voters apparently require from her is a little demagoguery against some invented villain once in a while and they’ll happily pull the lever next to her name on Election Day.

Obviously, we’re not going to get the horsepower we need to vote Waters out of office. However, we can consign her to irrelevance over the next few elections as we give the Republican Party a larger and larger majority. We can’t stop her idiotic outbursts, nor should we want to. I hope the GOP records every one of her outbursts and puts them front and center in campaign commercials that remind the American people exactly just how hateful and vicious the Democrats in Congress have become. See, unlike Waters, we Tea Partiers don’t want our opponents to “go straight to hell”. We don’t carry that much hate in our hearts. We would, however, like it very much if Maxine Waters stopped flapping her gums and actually did her job once in a while. And so would the people of California.
