Queen of the Dimmitude

While the Left has another fit over Sarah Palin's new-found popularity, let's have a review of inane quotes by their beloved House Speaker:

Nancy Pelosi, Queen of the Dimmitude and 3rd in line to the Presidency:

"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."

Uh, Madam Speaker, last time I checked, according to that "living, breathing document" called 'TheConstitution', ILLEGAL ALIENS AREN'T AMERICANS... but you want to tax 401k plans to support them, anyway.

"I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," she says. Natural gas "is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels," she has also stated.

Natural gas IS a fossil fuel. DOH!

"Every week we don't pass a Stimulus package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.''

Boy, our country is more densely populated than I thought!


"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class."

In other words, stimulating the economy and creating NON-gubmint jobs is a BAD thing, right Madam Speaker?


"It is a decision of the Supreme Court. So this is almost as if God has spoken."

Only better, right Madam Speaker?


"The war on terror is the war in Afghanistan"

Then why is it called the Afghanistan War?


"Congressman Murtha has enjoys an excellent reputation in the Congress on both sides of the aisle."

And I just saw pigs flying in formation.


On Abortion:

"As an ardent practicing Catholic, uh, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition, and, uh, Senator -- uh, I'm -- Senator -- Uh, St. Augustin' (sic) said at three months.

An "ardent, practicing Catholic" and she isn't even familiar with the Church's staunch pro-life stand?


On Universal Healthcare

"I think it is pretty clear that we want a strong public option in the legislation. Insurance companies full force carpet-bombing and shock and awe against the public option -- so much so that the American people doubt the plan or are uncertain about it, until you tell them what is in it."

You're right, Madam Speaker, when the American FINALLY learned what's in the bill, there was no more doubt... 80% of them now HATE it.


"I think they’re Astroturf… You be the judge. "They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."

BULL... there weren't any people carrying swastikas. It was a bald-faced lie.


"The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, To minister to the needs of Gods creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us. On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our childrens children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature."

THERE IS NO SUCH QUOTE in the Bible. The "ardent, practicing Catholic" needs to go back to Sunday School.


"The gavel of the speaker of the House is in the hands of special interests, and now it will be in the hands of America’s children."

Spoiled, stupid, elitist children, I might add.


"I don’t know about ‘trust’ — I think I’m trusted," she said. "I certainly want to be trusted. I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked."

NEWS FLASH, Madam Speaker... people generally don't trust people they hate. Derrrrr.....

A Lesson In Liberal Media

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S.Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S.MARINE-BIKER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the liberal news media's approach to the news these days.

Democrat Hypocrisy On Parade

So, once again, the Obama Adminstration is bashing Wall Street and bankers as greedy fatcats, and sending out the Pay Czar to make sure people in corporate America don't make "too much". In the meantime, the next spending bill being pushed through Congress will increase salary and benefits for PUBLIC employees at taxpayer expense.

Wonderful: before the spending bill, one person in the Transportation Department made more than 170 grand base salary. With the bill, over 1,000 of them will. And that's just one example. We're still stinging over the revelation that Senator Max Baucus was approving pay raises of 14,000.00 or more to his staff members. Remember, Federal Employees also get their own retirement fund and they don't pay into Social Insecurity.

WE PRIVATE EMPLOYEES, on the other hand, are dealing with pay free freezes or cuts to avoid layoffs, and the Gub-Mint is looking to TAX our benefits, including our privately-funded healthcare, as PAY. We, who worked hard building careers so that we could qualify to be employed by companies that provide better pay and benefits, get to be robbed even more to pay for salary increases for Max Baucus' staff members, who were well-paid BEFORE they got raises.

"B-b-b-b-b-b-ut these people are PUBLIC SERVANTS!"

So are military personnel, and they got a measly 5%, which Barbara Boxer brags about constantly to her constituents, while she gets an instant 4,000.00 increase, even though her husband is rich.

Tell the Chosen One to GET HIS HANDS OFF OUR PAY. If he's so concerned about the spending habits of banks and investment firms, STOP GIVING THEM TARP MONEY. Even after bailing out GM and Chrysler, they declared Chapter 11 anyway. Let the Private Sector clean up its own messes.

If the Democrats in Gub-Mint really want to get their house in order, tell them fire to Barney Frank, and then order Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to STOP GUARANTEEING RISKY HOME LOANS.

GUB-MINT spending is still out of control. The Dems want to blame Bush, but place them in power, and you get a drunken sailors spending spree on social services and salaries for taxpayer-funded make-work jobs. The only difference between Big Gub-Mint and a drunken sailor is that the drunken sailor blows his own money.

Oh, boy... here come the windmills!
