At least Pelosi doesn't cry all the time like that bitch Boehner. Really, fucking stop it with the waterworks.

Boehner cries more than Milhouse.

It seems fake.

Puppet McCain was hilarious. Indeed, both Stewart and Colbert were in rare form last night. Especially Colbert's spoofing of G. Gordon Liddy's gold commercials.

Diane Black, CONGRESSWOMAN, would've wanted kids who had afflictions like mine or worse, but maybe poorer, to die because health insurance companies don't want to pay up. This is what she doesn't like about it:

[Health care reform] is causing folks not to be able to get health care, in particular let me talk about one area where there is a mandate there that insurance companies must insure children up to the age of 24, and what we have found is that there are a lot of insurance companies that are just saying we’re not going to be in this business any longer, because we know that we can’t survive if that’s what we’re going to do.
And the second piece of that was to insure children regardless of their health care history, and as a result of that, I know several health care insurance agents in my district who have said we’re just dropping any insurance for children whatsoever.

why? cause f em, that's why.

tip: anyone, let alone any politician who utters the phrases I've isolated is a liar, because these are lies.

1) There are not a lot of health insurers. Anywhere.

2) insurance agents don't/can't/don't want to drop anyone for any reason. This bit of blather might not qualify as a lie, because it makes no fucking sense.

It only bothers me because I know what would be all over the TV if it was a male dem up there crying. People wouldn't be able to shut up about how wimpy the democrats are, etc. Fox would be questioning the person's stability and fitness to be speaker and they'd have experts testifying to his mental illness.

Newsflash: Crying in public is a sign of mental instability. Third in line for the Presidency is most likely mentally unbalanced.

Tabloid reports that John Edwards finishes murdering his political career by proposing to his baby momma. The education one receives in a long line at the checkout.

Job Killing article

Oh, and congratulations to Bohner for refusing to put down the birther faction. Not his job to tell people what to think. Good job.

Republicans (Boehner) are doing as bad a job explaining why repeal will NOT add $200+billion/yr to the deficit as Dems did explaining why reform would NOT add $200+ billion/yr to the deficit

Tip to the dipwad Cantor: "everyone knows it won't" is a frat boy's response - please grow up

where's "expert economist" Ryan in all of this? Seems to have been marginalized already (good move, JB)

wait, are you saying he is sane?

I'm completely dumbfounded how you got that out of what I just said.

i read it as "woah well of course you all would think that someone who doesnt think like you do is crazy."
