Douche.
Man, I’m so glad that New York Fashion Week is about to go off–despite the recession’s efforts to bum everybody out–because otherwise I’d just be hearing news about douchebags trying to steer this country into a ditch full of vomit and piss and just get all flustered and stuff. I apologize for being so blunt, however, Republicans and their constant adherence to ideological bullshit is absolutely appalling. If we’re going to deal then let’s deal. However, there’s a fine line between negotiating and being a bunch of assholes. On my end, I’m not too down with cutting too much of the spending. Indeed, let’s have tax cuts but cutting out spending on things like school construction, food stamps, and state workers seems a bit anti-productive doesn’t it? No money for food stamps? Really? A Democrat’s example, if I may: During America’s recession of 1937, what did FDR do? He spent more. And guess what? It worked…for the most part. It wasn’t really the New Deal and, admittedly, World War II helped quite a bit; however, Roosevelt’s Keynesian tactics did actually do a worthy amount to make things better. Look folks, if anything, tax cuts were in fashion during the last administration and, to be honest, I think it’s safe to presume that millions of unemployed Americans are over it.
That said, during today’s vote to end debate over ze mighty STIMULUS, Senator Ted Kennedy made it to Capitol Hill to vote. Let’s put this into perspective shall we? This man is recovering from brain cancer and just had a seizure on Inauguration Day; yet he still made it a point to show up for his party.
Where was the douchebag above? John Cornyn’s been all about opposing the stimulus as publicly as possible and, on his party’s triumphant filibuster day, where is he? He’s in New York speaking with conservative media and GOP Wall Street donors.
“Just kickin’ it right guys?” -Douchebag McCornyn
I don’t understand why the GOP’s felt so triumphant these past few weeks for being sad sucks. Being lame isn’t really something I’d feel that good about.
In related news, RNC chairman Michael Steele’s stupidity appears to be growing every damn day.
From This Week with George Stephanopoulos:
STEELE: You’ve got to look at what’s going to create sustainable jobs. What this administration is talking about is making work. It is creating work.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But that’s a job.
STEELE: No, it’s not a job. A job is something that — that a business owner creates. It’s going to be long term. What he’s creating…
STEPHANOPOULOS: So a job doesn’t count if it’s a government job?
(CROSSTALK)
STEELE: Hold on. No, let me — let me — let me finish. That is a contract. It ends at a certain point, George. You know that. These road projects that we’re talking about have an end point.
It can’t get worse can it?
OH FUCK IT DOES!
From the Washington Post:
Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, arranged for his 2006 Senate campaign to pay a defunct company run by his sister for services that were never performed, his finance chairman from that campaign has told federal prosecutors…
The recent allegations outlined four specific transactions. In addition to the payment to Steele’s sister, Fabian said that the candidate used money from his state campaign improperly; that Steele paid $75,000 from the state campaign to a law firm for work that was never performed; and that he or an aide transferred more than $500,000 in campaign cash from one bank to another without authorization.
I’m gonna need something to cheer me up.
FUCKIN’ RAD.
Okay, sorry to be a bummer. I’m being selfish. To make it up to ya, here’s a song… a good song:
Squeeze ‘Is That Love?’
