The problem with Republicans is that they don't practice what they preach. The problem with Democrats is that they do.
And Republicans hardly ever protest anything. But when they do, they always seem to manage to get it wrong. A cynic might say they like being the minority party because there's no pressure. Me, I just think they're more idiotic than Democrats, which is really saying something!
I mention this in light of Joe Wilson's interjection in the midst of the President's healthcare speech before a joint session of Congress where what was really missing were the joints!
At the point where Obama said that illegal immigrants would not be covered under his plan, Wilson blurted out, "You lie!"
But a "lie" is defined as "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive." Thus Wilson was saying that Obama knew illegals would be covered under his plan, and that he was intentionally misleading people.
However, another Republican who didn't speak a word that night nevertheless said it all - and pointed out Wilson's mistake at the same time - I don't know his name, but he sat silently with a sign in his lap that read simply: "WHAT BILL?"
See, how could Obama be lying when not only is there no language in his bill that permits illegals to get health coverage, he hasn't even got a bill!?!
Oh I know there are a lot of other bills floating around Congress... actually they're too heavy to float, and no one knows what's in them because no one has read a single one of them. Which is disgraceful because it's been demonstrated that a number of Congressmen can read!
Furthermore, the President admits that he doesn't know what's in them. So you see, Wilson was clearly out of line when he yelled, "You lie!" He should have yelled, "You're clueless!"
By the way, this is not the same Joe Wilson who went around saying amazingly stupid things when his unmentionable wife's unmentionable job was intentionally mentioned, appropriately enough, by someone named Dick.
That Wilson never apologized for wrongly accusing the Bush Administration of outing the little woman, and he subsequently went down in Plames.
The irony is that Joe Wilson, the Representative whose State is named after Caroline Kennedy from the waist down, not only apologized, he sent the President some yellow cake as a goodwill gesture! (anyone needing an explanation can send a stamped, self-addressed email to halfbaked@tedsnuts.com)
Meanwhile, seven of Wilson's Republican colleagues in the House voted to slap him on the wrist for his outburst. Coincidentally, seven Democrats in the Senate voted against slapping ACORN with penalties for counseling people on how best to get kids involved in prostitution..
The moral? Nuts are a far greater threat than flakes!
Mark Steyn is substituting for Rush Limbaugh this week - and doing an absolutely rotten job of it... and he's causing me to despise him in the process.
Not only does he have trouble putting his thoughts into words and then expressing them coherently, but the way he just handled a witness to an actual heinous act by one of the lowest of the low in our society, a liberal, had me screaming, "ASK THAT DIRTBAG (the witness) WHY HE AND HIS FRIENDS DIDN'T CAPTURE THE ROTTEN ANIMAL, FUKSTEYN!
The witness saw the attack in detail, pulled the old man's finger out of the gutter, wrapped it, and took it to the hospital. So far, so good. But by his own words, he was there with bigger, younger friends who let the guy run off, no doubt because they were COWARDS. They didn't want to risk being attacked by rabid-dog liberals themselves.
Or so it seems, because Fuksteyn never asked why they didn't detain the attacker. Not a word. But he did let the guy ramble on with irrelevant details. And then he, Fuksteyn, even joked about the finger presumably being reattached by our current healthcare system.
Despicable. All I could think of as the witness was talking was, "DID THEY CATCH THE GUY?" But it gets worse. He said that he and his friends saw the guy later (I don't know how much), but when he looked for the liberal pig with the police, "they couldn't find him."
Yet another shining moment for conservatives. And If I never hear stammering Fuksteyn again, it will be too soon.
Meanwhile, last night, Sean Fukkity had Ann Coulter on. Which is why I watched, because I can't stand to hear, much less look at Fukkity ordinarily. So when Ann talks, what percentage of the airtime should be hers? 110?
TRY 25! Filthy Fukkity rambled on as only he can, and Ann was left to basically affirm the insipid points he, Fukkity, was trying to make - that any rational person already knew.
God, if there's anyone I hate more than liberals, it's conservatives!
