Oh how those Tea Party rubes are fouling the well-oiled political gears of Washington D.C. Have you heard of their latest shenanigans? Truly scandalous, and Republican Rep. Steven LaTourette does not like it one bit. Not even a smidge.
What was the infraction that had earned them LaTourette’s scorn and label “Chuckleheads”? It is best we let Rep. LaTourette explain it himself:
“I don’t know what the number is but say the number is 40 out of 240 – that’s not a repudiation of his (Speaker of the House John Boehner) leadership. That’s the same 40, 50 chuckleheads that all year … have screwed this place up. And he has done everything in his power to make nice to them, to bring them along, to make them feel included, but it hasn’t mattered,”
This was LaTourette’s response to a question about the failure of Speaker Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ from being brought before congress for a vote. 40-50 “Chuckleheads” who in LaTourette’s estimation are preventing Speaker Boehner’s from enacting a plan to save the United States from the precipice of the “fiscal cliff” all agree the country is heading for. Why would 40-50 conservative renegades band together to prevent the saving of the economy of the United States? Is it an evil plot to overthrow Speaker Boehner and destroy the country?
No. It is because this band of “Chuckleheads” know Speaker Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ is just a political ploy that does nothing to fix the immense financial problem that the United States will soon find itself in. ‘Plan B’ does not fix the problem, its real purpose is to avoid being blamed when Speaker Boehner and the Republican Party eventually fold to President Obama demands for more spending.

I am Mr. K... and I AM A CHUCKLEHEAD
(but you all knew that)
The good news is this DC Party hack won’t be around next year.
It’s hacks like this one, past and present, on both sides who have
“Compromised” this country with decades and decades of grand bargains
that has brought this country to the brink.
He sold his principals year ago and wanted to drag the few in DC that still
Have some principals to the ways of DC.
Good Riddance to him. May many more follow him out the door.
The whole thing kind of annoyed me, as “Chucklehead” is one of my favorite put downs. I assume it is based on the gumdrop-like candy “Chuckles”.
I HATE “Chuckles”. I see them at second tier gas stations and motel/rest stop vending machines. I have no idea who actually buys them, though I dod remember seeing their decal on Evel Knievel’s machines.
So, I cannot regard myself as a “Chucklehead”, neither as a jocularism nor as a lark.
I’m a traitor to my country. Nice to meet ya’ ;)
No...wait. I AM a CHUCKLEHEAD!
As I recall this country was started by a bunch of chuckleheads who refused to cut deals with the political leadership of their time.
King George III, Gens Gage, Howe and Burgoyne found out the hard way about the power and fury of chuckleheaded upstarts.
