McAuliffe

Stephen Colbert rips Clinton insider Terry McAuliffe, who recently told Tim Russert that his father, Big Russ, was probably looking down from heaven cheering Hillary Clinton on. One problem: Big Russ is alive.

What has Team Hillary been giving Terry McAuliffe to get his cheese that far off the crackers on every interview he’s given in the last six weeks? Dude is just unhinged!

You know, as I listen to the repubs debate the war spending bill, I’m struck over and over again at their inability to remember yesterday.

Little wonder they believe nobody in America can remember anything for more than three months. They cant!

So I’m thinking these idiots, who gave us the all encompassing mess that we are drowning in right now, comfortably lay the blame for every horror on this democrat congress! And even more startling, a lot of people agree with them. Just heard [on c-span] a 73 year old woman speak with authority when she noted she watches, and she pays attention and she knows none of our problems will go away until those damnable dems get out of congress.

A truly “oh my gosh” moment!

But maybe I need to re-think my prejudice against the dumbest of the dumb who represent the repub’s. [Who deserve every dumb one of them, because they are equally dumb!]

Seems the dumbness is a political disease. Seems the inability to remember yesterday belongs to those who dedicate their lives to all things political. Maybe there’s a lobotomy required if a person decides they are going to be political. Maybe the test they have to take to prove they have what it takes requires they prove they are stupid, pay little or no attention, cant remember anything, and love money more than people ... even their own beloved family members!

Amazing. This man can’t remember his dad is still alive!

I wonder ... when he visits the cemetery, does he read the headstone? Maybe that’s the problem. Maybe he came across a headstone one day with his Dads name on it. Maybe it’s been so long since he went to visit the live guy he figured Dad had died. Some folks are a lot more comfortable visiting a grave than a live body you know.

Or maybe the guy is just a blithering idiot!

I suspect if he were running for a seat in congress he would identify himself as a “blue” dog. Which is also misleading, cause in reality blue-dog dems are actually purple pigs. Half red, half blue, all greedy and uniformly dumb.

Speaking of which, potus is blabbering even now about Irans “bomb” and I marvel at the applause.

Where can one go and still find honest, smart people?

Norway maybe?

Right out of the neocons handbook…

... “American are really, really retarded” chapter by Karl Rove.

Bet you a couple of bitter, gun toting, bible reading unemployed blue collars that more than fifty percent of West Virginians racists actually eat every word out of these snake oil peddlers.

Clintons cabinet would be filled with dumb asses like this. She’s not the only one NOT Qualified to lead this country.
DLC is the Blue arm of the Neo CONS which have -and are- bringing down our great country. WE are on our Knees- and Hillary will come in with the Kill Bite to finish US OFF!Her ‘Performance’ on the Armed Services Com (con) is the Proof in the Puddin’- Heckova Job Hilly. Also LOVED the proclamation of being willing to ‘Totally Obliterate Iran’ with Nukes to defend Isreal, Saudi’s and the UAE, did you ‘Mis speak ‘ when you faile dto add US to that list in which You’d pullout all the Stops and begin the destruction of life as we know it. If I was Not Utterly TERRORIZED by Hagee & Parsley plans for ‘Armegeddon’- I’d definitley Vote for YOU!they are not just Idiots, or Greed whores or even Egomaniacs- they are Sociopaths!
