Quote of the day, “Biden thinks America accomplished jack squat without government” edition
Our gaffe-tastic VP:
“Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive,” he said. “In the middle of the Civil War you had a guy named Lincoln paying people $16,000 for every 40 miles of track they laid across the continental United States… No private enterprise would have done that for another 35 years.”
Retorts Reason:
What was the “government vision and government incentive” that produced the assembly line? Motion-picture film? Air conditioning? The electric guitar? How about the personal computer? The mobile phone? Non-violent resistance? Aspirin?
Though Biden is generally not to be taken seriously, the government-centrism of his comments are an accurate reflection of his boss, and part of the reason why next Tuesday is going to be an awkward day of work at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Well, Al Gore did give us the Internet, so there’s that.
Quote of the day, “Carter off of his meds” edition
Grab the spatula. You’ll need it to get your jaw off of the floor. Details:
America is no better off now than it was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, says former President Jimmy Carter. From national politics to relationships with other nations, there is a lot of room for improvement.
“We had almost complete harmony with every nation on Earth,” the Nobel Peace Prize winner said of his administration. “We not only preserved peace for our country, we never went to war. We never dropped a bomb. We never fired a missile.”
Iran was unavailable for comment.
Seriously, this tool believes that because we didn’t drop bombs on anyone during his four years of dhimmitude in office, that constituted “complete harmony”? How ever did he lose 44 states in 1980? For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.
Quote of the day, “What November 2 really means” edition
I don’t know that I could have put this any better myself.
This is not an election on November 2. This is a restraining order. Power has been trapped, abused and exploited by Democrats. Go to the ballot box and put an end to this abusive relationship. And let’s not hear any nonsense about letting the Democrats off if they promise to get counseling.
KO!
Quote of the day, “Dem Congressman gets punked in debate by soldier opponent” edition
In NY-20, Scott Murphy(D) tried lampooning his Republican opponent, retired Army Colonel Chris Gibson(R), over “sending jobs overseas”. Murphy set his beartrap, then stumbled and fell into it himself:
Murphy also went after Gibson throughout the debate for leaving in place tax loopholes that send jobs overseas, referring to medical device manufacturer C.R. Bard’s choice to expand off-shore because taxes meant investing in upstate New York would cost 41 percent more in taxes.
“We need to make it a little harder to move jobs overseas,” Murphy said, echoing a point he has made in advertisements.
Gibson bristled at the charge. The retired Army colonel from Kinderhook moved from an attentive posture to an excited hunch, saying “now is not the time to raise taxes.” He has previously said he takes this charge personally, and to cheers from the crowd, proclaimed, “the only thing that I’ve shipped overseas in the last few years has been myself and my paratroopers to fight for this country.”
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark, and hopefully, a noticeable one on November 3!
Quote of the day, “Another Democrat craps on the Constitution” edition
When it’s not Phil Hare (D-IL) telling us that he doesn’t care what the Constitution says, it’s this jackwagon:
“We have a lousy Supreme Court decision that has opened the floodgates, and so we have to deal within the realm of constitutionality. And a lot of the campaign finance bills that we have passed have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. I think the Constitution is wrong. I don’t think that money is the same thing as human beings,” Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) said at a debate Wednesday. He was commenting on the Citizens United v. FEC decision.
Notice that the ones who are openly contemptuous of the Constitution are all Democrats? They take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, right before they begin to summarily ignore it. Why, it’s almost as if a Democrat’s word doesn’t mean anything! For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.
Quote of the day, “Obama the hard worker”
It’s often remarked that President Obama has enjoyed a number of getaways, vacations, and mini-vacations during his 20 months in office. But at a Democratic fundraiser Thursday night, the president said, “I’d appreciate a little break.”
Right. Because numerous vacations, golf outings, and pickup basketball games with NBA stars just wears on a guy after a while. Jackwagon.
Quote of the day, “Obama’s illegal alient aunt says we owe her citizenship” edition
Point to ponder: Is it possible for a criminal alien to possess this degree of chutzpah? Apparently, yeah:
BOSTON (WBZ) “If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen.” Those are the words from 58-year-old Zeituni Onyango of Kenya in a recent exclusive interview with WBZ-TV.
Screw the law. Because she made it across the border, her prize for violating our laws should be…citizenship. Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
Quote of the day, “Castro states the obvious” edition
Alternate headline: “MSM, college professors, Obama Cabinet members hardest hit!” From Jeffrey Goldberg:
But during the generally lighthearted conversation (we had just spent three hours talking about Iran and the Middle East), I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something worth exporting.
“The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore,” he said.
Che Guevara was unavailable for comment.
“Anymore” implies it ever worked in the first place. It didn’t. It can’t.
Exit question: So does Castro want a mulligan on that whole revolution thingy?
Quote of the day, “Krauthammer hammers liberalism” edition
Dude, you absolutely must read Charles Krauthammer’s latest column. Money quote (which, by the way, does NOT give you an excuse to skip reading his brilliance):
The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama over-read his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.
Exactamundo! For as long as I’ve kept up with politics, one of the things that has always kept me from being a liberal (and the reasons are legion) is that the left is so arrogant, so condescending, so elitist…in spite of the fact that there is a mountain of evidence that proves their ways don’t work! Hopefully, this November will illustrate that lesson to them yet again.
Quote of the day, “Hewitt zings obscure liberal talk radio hostess” edition
Hugh Hewitt went on CNN’s Larry King Live (hosted by Obama shill Tavis Smiley), along with liberal talk radio hostess Stephanie Miller (and two other people I don’t know), to talk about Shelly O’s lavish European vacation (among other topics). During Hewitt’s turn to talk, he referenced how Dems are going to get swamped this November. Miller thought she would “show up” Hewitt by threatening to replay his prediction after the 2010 midterm election on her radio show for all of her listeners to hear (and to laugh about, assuming the Dems don’t lose as badly as anticipated). Hilarity ensues:
“Good, no one will hear it!” 
Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnng! I love it…though I assume both of her listeners didn’t!
Quote of the day, “Pelosi wants full unemployment in America” edition
If economic stupidity were painful, this wench would be comatose by now. Quote Speaker Botox, regarding federal unemployment compensation:
It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name.
Oh. My. Stars. I don’t really need to point out the sheer, unadulterated lunacy of that statement, do I?
Quote of the day, “Obama’s not even trying to hide it” edition
President Kick#ss learned his lesson about golfing during the oil spill, and how normal America might not like the appearance it presents.
When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.
Priorities, priorities.
Quote of the day, “We have to pass it to see what’s in it, redux” edition
Not content with damning America with unintended consequences of ObamaCare’s passage, the left has apparently concluded that passing legislation they haven’t read and don’t understand is superwickedawesome. Chris Dodd (D-Corrupticut) took time out from his highly corrupt life busy schedule to weigh in on the financial reform bill that passed the Senate:
No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
Because that worked out so darned well with the passage of ObamaCare, no?
Quote of the day, “Obama’s golf addicition is good for America, or something” edition
Bill Burton, pinch hitting for spokestool Gibbsy…a swing and a miss.
“I think that a little time to himself on Father’s Day weekend probably does us all good as American citizens that our president is taking that time.”
Got that? President Kick#ss hitting the greens “does us all good” as oil continues to belch into the Gulf, despite his pledge that he “will not rest” until the crisis is resolved. Citizens along the Gulf coast probably feel like they’ve been “done” really “good”, huh?
Oprompter celebrates after plugging the d#mned hole…on the 9th green, that is!
Quote of the day, “Obama thinks Tea Partiers are hypocrites” edition
From President Kick#ss:
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,” Obama said. “Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”
Oh. My. Stars.
Fox Nation attacks that stupid, moronic, petulant pseudo-retort from one angle:
Is the president saying that he didn’t react quickly because he was trying to placate Tea Party activists, thus blaming them for the slow response? Obama almost makes it sound like he let the Gulf die to make a point against those who are for smaller, more responsible government, doesn’t he?
Exactly. But I’m attacking it from another angle.
Oilbama doesn’t realize, or he does and he’s just being a jack#ss, that there are some things that the feds are not responsible for getting involved with (i.e. bailing out banks, taking over health care, nationalizing auto companies, etc.) and there are things that the feds are responsible for managing (i.e. environmental disasters, protecting federal waters, etc.). Tea Partiers are not clamoring for bigger government, President Urkel! They’re clamoring for the government to actually do something efficiently that it is supposed to be doing anyway. Dude, you suck at comparisons!
Worst. President. Ever.
Quote of the day, “Obama tries to look tough, spouts profanity” edition
The Pansy-in-Chief’s thug roots are showing. Quote:
I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.
Whatev, Barry. But hey, way to look presidential!
Quote of the day, “Let the criminals handle the problem” edition
Rudy Giuliani on B.O. letting BP handle the oil spill relief effort:
The reality is the Administration has made every mistake it could possibly make right down to the criminal investigation of BP… And, if they’re being criminally investigated then why are we allowing them to do it? If we got a bunch of criminals doing it then why are we allowing them to do it?
Good question.
Quote of the day, “Why illegal immigration ROCKS!” edition
Dingbat Eleanor Clift of Newsweek defines the invasion of criminal aliens pouring across the southern border thusly:
“It’s a happy invasion for most people in this country,” Clift proclaimed. “[W]e love the diversity of food.“
Right, because Taco Bell and any other Tex-Mex joint in America couldn’t exist without…um…illegal immigrants. Oooooooo-kay, then.
And if, by “most people”, she means the 70% of Arizonans who support the new state law cracking down on criminal immigration, then yeah…”most people”!
Quote of the day, “drunken sailor” edition
Arguably the best letter to the editor of all time! Screen cap:
Quote of the day, “Jon Stewart gets pwned over his bias” edition
Bernard Goldberg, former CBS News reporter who wrote the bestseller Bias about what he saw firsthand and behind the scenes, had this zinger for Jon Stewart’s interview of liberal NYT columnist (pardon the redundancy) Frank Rich:
But if clearly you want to be a social commentator, more than just a comedian and if you want to be a good one, you better find some guts because even though you criticize liberals as well as conservatives, congratulations on that, when you had Frank Rich on your show, who generalizes all the time about conservatives and Republicans being bigots, you didn’t ask him a single tough question. You gave him a lap dance. You practically had your tongue down his throat.
Heh.
The cherry on the sundae, my friends. You’re welcome:
You are not nearly as edgy as you think you are. You are just a safe, Jay Leno with a much smaller audience, but you get to say the f-bomb, which gives your incredibly unsophisticated audience the illusion, the illusion that you’re courageous and that you’re a renegade. But it’s only an illusion.
Ouch! Nice smackdown, Bernie.
Quote of the day, “IL Dem says he ‘doesn’t care’ what Constitution says” edition
This is merely Example #4,125,562 on how the left doesn’t think too highly of our Constitution:
“I don’t worry about the Constitution.”
…and…
“I believe that it says we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Um…no, it doesn’t. As anyone who has gone beyond 5th grade in social studies can tell you, those words appear in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
Then again, when you’re a member of the party that routinely uses the Constitution as Charmin, it’s easy to see how you wouldn’t know what is in it. After all, how can you read a document when you’re wiping your backside with it?
Quote of the day, “Dem Senator admits ObamaCare is meant to enforce socialism” edition
When he’s not busy trying to get his mistress a job as a U.S. Attorney or getting drunk on the Senate floor, Max Baucus likes to pass the time waxing eloquent about ObamaCare (video link):
Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.
“Mal-distribution”? My spellcheck just exploded on that word. Is that a Bushism or something?
But hey, where would you get the crazy idea that Democrats are socialists or anything?
Quote of the day, “We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!” edition
From Alcee Hastings (D-FL), member of the House Rules Committee:
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D) Florida, a member of the House Rules Committee, made one of those gaffes that is defined as speaking the truth when he really ought not to have. Hastings articulated the approach the Democrats are taking for health care reform.
“There ain’t no rules here, we’re trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make ‘em up as we go along.”
John at Powerline gives a refresher on Hastings, if you didn’t already know:
Hastings was once a federal judge, but he was impeached–it is hard to articulate what a difficult, cumbersome process that is–because he solicited bribes from criminal defendants. That is, he approached the criminals and told them that he would let them off if they paid him. That’s a little extreme, even for a Democrat. Hastings’ efforts to make himself rich in this criminal fashion came to light and he was investigated. He responded to the investigation by committing perjury.
As a result of his multiple crimes, Hastings was removed as a federal judge by the United States Senate, one of the few times in history that has happened. Here is the really astonishing thing: instead of going to jail, Alcee Hastings went to Congress! Democratic voters were not in the least concerned that he is a criminal of the most verminous sort. On the contrary, they elected him to represent them in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District! That, really, tells you all you need to know about the depravity to which the Democratic Party has sunk.
The last refuge for scoundrels? Why, the Democrat Party, of course!
Quote of the day, “Dem Congressman admits his party is a party of thieves” edition
I guess there really is, at times, honor among thieves. While meeting with constituents regarding the federal takeover of the health care industry, Tom Perriello (D-VA), a man who is likely on his way out in November, had this to say (video here):
If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing.
Got that? It’s our fault that we don’t stop these generational kleptomaniacs from themselves!
Quote of the day, “Self-executing rules SUCK!” edition
Which right-wing nutjob said this on the floor of the House?
I have said on this Floor before when you did not allow us to offer substitutes that you didn’t have the courage of your convictions.
I have said on this Floor before when you didn’t allow us to offer amendments that you didn’t have the courage of your convictions.
Now you not only don’t allow us to offer a substitute, you don’t allow us to offer amendments, you don’t even have the courage to PUT YOUR OWN BILL ON THE FLOOR.
The public probably doesn’t understand that. THIS IS A RULE, NOT THE BILL. We’re not debating the bill…
Why? To muzzle us, and to muzzle their folks who they don’t rely on to vote on the substance of this bill but HOPE AND PRAY they’ll get enough of their people on the procedural end of this bill to carry the day.
That’s unfortunate. Eighty-two billion dollars of deficit that Americans are going to have to pay for. My children are going to have to pay for. My grandchildren are going to have to pay for. And we don’t even have the courage to PUT THE BILL ON THE FLOOR, but this rule roosts…
That would be…Steny Hoyer (D-MD). In 2003. When the GOP majority used it for a routine (yet, in my view, still reprehensible) and bipartisan manner related to an increase in the child tax credit. Hoyer was bellowing (rightly so, in my view) about the procedure being used to usher in $82 billion of tax credits…a pittance compared to the $1 trillion+ spending being crammed down our throats by he and his ilk today.
Anywho, what does Hoyer say about this tactic today?
“It is consistent with the rules,” Mr. Hoyer said. “It is consistent with former practice.”
Fargin’ hypocrite.
Quote of the day, “Pelosi doubles down on passing bill FIRST and THEN addressing it” edition
Not content with having made a buffoon of herself the first time, San Fran Nan decides to double down on her idea to pass first, ask questions later. Details:
In a particularly Alice-in-Wonderland moment, Pelosi argued that the debate over health care reform can begin after the bill is passed. “Pelosi said passing the bill would allow Dems to undertake a ‘debate’ with Republicans over ‘what is the balanced role that government should have,’” writes another pro-reform blogger at the Post, Greg Sargent. According to Sargent, Pelosi explained, “We have to take it to the American people, to say, this is the choice that you have. This is the vision that they have for your health and well being, and this is the vision that we have.” Again, in Pelosi’s scenario, that debate would occur after the bill is passed.
Un. Friggin’. Believable.
Quote of the day, “Dan Rather links Obama and watermelons” edition
When I first read about this, I had to make sure it was authentic, i.e. not on one of Dan Rather’s memos. Nope, it’s real. Here’s what the disgraced former newsman said to Leg Tingles Matthews on MSDNC about B.O.’s inability to get America to drink the Kool-Aid on socialized medicine:
Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama’s leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. “Listen he just hasn’t been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death.” And a version of, “Listen he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate” this is what’s been used against him, “but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”
The video clip is at this link, and you’ll note Tingles trying to talk over Gunga Dan in order to prevent further humiliation. Both of Matthews’ viewers were mortified.
Exit question (and one that you can see coming a mile away): Care to imagine what the reaction would be from the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) had this analogy come from a conservative?
Quote of the day, “Pelosi says pass the health bill FIRST and THEN find out what’s in it” edition
I am sooooooo looking forward to this San Fran wench getting relegated back to the minority where she belongs. Details from the nag’s mouth:
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
Don’t read the bill first, folks. If you do, then it’ll ruin the ending as to how awesomely McAwesome this health care thingy really is!
Quote of the day, “Leno skewers Obama” edition
From Jay Leno:
President Obama had his annual physical last week. And while his colonoscopy revealed no polyps, they did find three MSNBC reporters and a New York Times columnist.
Heh.
Quote of the day, “Obama finally gets something right” edition
If the prez is looking for some bipartisan agreement, he’s finally got some. Quoth The Won, regarding the Chilean earthquake:
We can’t control nature.
Well, folks, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. So we have to admit that B.O. finally says something on which we can agree. I guess he’s giving up on his humble pledge to “heal the planet” and slow the “rise of the ocean”.
Think of the possibilities now, my friends. With this admission, he will finally get off this “cap-and-trade” kick and will now acknowledge that man-made global “warming” is a load of crap. After all, as his admission states, we can’t control nature. Maybe now he will stop trying.
