Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ Grotesque Puppet Show — Now with Tea Parties!
I hesitate to call DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz a liar, but I have noticed that she’s taken a precipitous turn toward partisan claptrap that has no basis in reality in her role as Official Spokesjerk of the Democratic Party. “We need to make sure that we tone things down, particularly in light of the [...]
With Violent Rhetoric Comes Selective Responsibility
Does anyone remember when Nancy Pelosi was so worried about violent rhetoric that she warned the Tea Parties that to be prepared for the wave of violence their words would inevitably cause? I think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. We are a free country, and this balance between freedom [...]
Tim Geithner, Liar.
I’m sorry if the title of this post offended you, but it’s true. Tim Geithner went on national television today and accused Republicans of something he knows is not true. That makes him a bald-faced liar, by any definition of the word. The Treasury Department on Sunday accused House Republicans of “praying for default,” because [...]
The Mendacious Harry Reid Kills a Debt Ceiling Deal, Goes on Vacation
Senate Democrat Harry Reid, whose party controls all the scheduling for the Senate, had this to say yesterday: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday said House Republicans’ pending “cut, cap and balance” proposal is among the worst pieces of legislation to appear on the floor in Senate history. … “I think this piece [...]
Cut, Cap, and Compromise
The White House has chosen to take the low road today in the debt ceiling debate: Not only was it a low-class thing to say, it’s also an outright lie. The GOP’s “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan isn’t a dodge or a duck (or a dip, dive, or dodge either). I honestly don’t know if Tapper challenged his characterization, but [...]
“Go Ahead…Make My Day” and Other Bluff-Friendly Quotes The President Memorized Yesterday
I’m no professional poker player, but I’m pretty sure that if I saw someone throw a hissy fit that ends in “Don’t call my bluff” at a table, I’d know two things: He’s bluffing. He’s about to get his bluff called by everyone at the table. That’s where we sit right now with the debt [...]
The Delivery Presents – So, You Want to Podcast, Do You? Good!
I don’t know how I managed to get through the first half of Episode 102 and not use the phrase “A pox on both their houses”. I think the entire budget/debt ceiling debate has gone so far past silly that it’s looped around back into silly again. The Democrats have no interest in putting a [...]
Hang Your Heads, New Orleanians, For Your Beloved Ex-Mayor Has Beclowned You. Again.
What a wonderful representative for the city of New Orleans former Mayor Ray Nagin turned out to be, huh? Not only did he botch the city’s response before, during, and after Hurrican Katrina about as badly as it could have been botched, but he’s also one heck of a conspiracy theorist. The former mayor of [...]
