I attended a dinner where President George H. Bush was in attendance. It cost the city several hundred thousand dollars to provide the security measures the Secret Service demanded. Air Force One (the old 707 not the 747) was on the local tarmac with two huge military cargo planes hauling the president's motorcade and helicopter. I actually got to talk to the president's helicopter pilot who told me he was one of three pilots on constant call. Moving the president anywhere is a huge deal and he just flew into town for a dinner and the whole city was transformed.

This Boner guy has form, where do you find these bozos?
....
Interesting thing to remember when he keeps saying how he never planned to become a congressman and how he is doing it all out of public service and his fellow man. He handed out checks from tobacco lobbyists on the House floor in 1995 while lawmakers were weighing tobacco subsidies and in 2004, he allowed Sallie Mae to throw him a fundraiser while the student lending outfit was lobbying his committee.
You answered your own rhetorical question...
The voters didn't find him, the legalized ring of bribery known and corporate lobbyists who had their hands up his ass like a good sock puppet, did...Comment

He won because a whacky tea bagger was up against him. Hell, let's face it, McCain would have done better if he left Sarah Palin in Alaska. Nutty tea baggers don't win elections. This is the lesson learned in this election. I you want Harry Reid gone you have to put someone that the people have confidence in up against him. Gomers don't win elections.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I feel sorry for you mortals.... you're stuck with a chain-smoking crybaby Oompa Loompa for Speaker of the House for the next two years.

Well the Oompa Loompa has replaced the wicked witch of the west. What you are really saying is Washington DC is like we combined The Wizard of Oz with Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Pretty damn accurate if you ask me.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The only thing I know for sure is the economy will continue to get worse, the dollar will buy less and the government will take more.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I never said that. I said we needed a better alternative. The Tea Party just didn't have the credabiltiy. The whole political and economic situation is nuts and we are running out of time to fix it. Maybe we have just dug such a big hole it's not fixable and the whole fucking mess will just melt down naturally like Chernobyl. So much for a revolution.No!

Funny thing in Nevada is the "real" Republican - the one Angle beat in the primary - was that crazy old woman Sue Lowden who thought you should be able to pay your doctor bills with live chickens.
So Reid, spineless fucking coward that he is, really was running against his own failure all this time, since neither candidate the Repukes could have put up would have been a viable alternative for any person with a shred of sanity.Eternally Under the Authority of Satan

Obamacare isn't dead until it's repealed. That will take a president and congress willing to do it. Meanwhile we will just sit in deadlock for two years and the the shit taxed out of us while the economy gets worse. I'm not ready to pop the champaign yet.No!

Or sexual favors from live chickens.
You should take this as an opportunity to do something meaningful with your life and for society though. Who wants to go through their life and all they did was be a stockbroker? You could get a job in a shop or become a park ranger or something.Comment
