2010 Anal-Ocity #4

It has really slow with the public servants and their anal statements……but I suspect that it will pick up the closer we get to the “Great 2010 Election” cycle……

Politicians just cannot stay away from making statements that make them look like idiots…this one is from Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi……recently when talking about health reform on a Sunday talk show she said:

“we are not here just to self perpetuate our service in Congress.”

Of course that is what they would have us to believe….but we ALL know that it is just bullsh*t………great sentiment….but that is ALL that it is sentiment and miles from reality.  Why do you think these “people” only work 3 days a week?  The rest of the week is for fundraising and schmoozing with the filthy rich and powerful…..Job retention is their main concern….I just wish these a/holes would stop sounding so noble….maybe then all the public naivete would be killed once and for all….

Do They NOT Know They Are Stupid!

That was not a rhetorical question!  Do they, the Repubs, know that they are stupid?  It is a fair question…..I mean from “death panels” to political theatrics……

This post could go on forever…..but for the sake of brevity I will focus on John Boner……oh crap!……my bad!……John Boehner, the Minority leader of the House of Representatives, he has pulled a wealth of boners in his tenure as the Repub leader….the one that stands out is his holding up the Constitution to make a point and then read the DoI…..or his saying that he is receiving more emails against health care reform and a local poll shows that 60% of his district want that reform…..but the best one is that he and his Repub colleagues keep bashing the spending of the Obama admin saying that if they are returned to power they will hold spending down….that they will once again be a party of less government…HA!….they overlook the fact that while they were doing GW’s dirty work they were the party of SPENDING…..but that they have learnbed their lesson….and will be frugal with the taxpayers money…..

I know you ask, what is wrong with that?  Nothing but is it true?

In a country that is reeling from massive unemployment….no consumerism to speak of…..and an economy that will take years to recovery….the Minority leader is showing his leadership is NO fluke…….the Politico is reporting:

The golf events this year sponsored by Boehner’s Freedom Project political action committee have stretched from April until October, from Florida to Ohio. And the minority leader doesn’t hold his events at worn-out municipal courses. The most recent outing was a $20,921.34 event at the plush Robert Trent Jones track in Gainesville, Va., an invitation-only private club that was once also home to the Professional Golfers Association’s President’s Cup.

By all public estimations, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is a pretty good golfer.

He should be, given the $82,998 his political action committee has spent on golf outings so far this year, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

He , Boehner, has spent more in the three cases than 20% of the population will make as earnings….Does it make sense to preach to the American people and then go out and spend more money that they will make this year?  It shows two things arrogance and a loss of the plight of the American people, especially those ion the district that he represents ….this will come back to bite him in the ass in his next run for office……that is if the people of his district are paying attention or do they really care?

Are not the Repubs the ones saying that Obama is out of touch with Main Street?  Go figure……

While I pick on Boehner, but he is not alone…Repubs have shown an amazing indifference to the people and the truth….

Will Pelosi Problem Go Away?

Not as long as there is some political advantage to keep it in the news.

Did she lie?  What did she know and when?  Does she have Alzheimer’s?  Does there need to be an investigation?  Questions….nothing but questions.

The Repubs are dancing like a fool trying to turn this situation into something that can drive the party.  With all the attention that Pelosi is getting has been a Godsend to the RNC.  Why?  It is driving the conversation about torture.  It is NO longer about whether the ex-prez did anything wrong or his guys,  now it is what did Pelosi know and when.

Is Pelosi lying?  Most probably!  After all she is a politician and her lips are moving.

Now she briefed, we all can agree on that, but what was she told?

The stories are she was told everything and the CIA does not lie…..thinking….that is a crock of crap.  All intel agencies will protect their collective butts.  Next, if she thought what she was hearing was wrong then why not go public?  It was classified and that would havew broken her oath taken with the offical secretive act.  BTW, that woiuld have been against the law.

Now people like Gingrich are calling for an investigation of what Pelosi knew.  What should been done?

First, Pelosi needs to shut the hell up.  Make a statement that she has said all she will say on the subject.  Since everyone concerned is making up their own conclusions, then allow them to continue unabated.  Second, there should be an investigation.  A wider investigation of what was known, said and uncovered up and that would include everyone….Pelosi, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, et al.

Then ALL the media vultures can have their stories and the American people can have the TRUTH.
