Anthony Weiner's rant captures Dem impotence
The Washington Post's The Plum Line ^ | July 30, 2010 | Greg Sargent

Dems pursued a procedural tack that required two thirds of the House to prevail, enabling Republicans to defeat it, and obviously opposing this bill was a morally questionable thing to do. But I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Weiner's rant doesn't do anyone any good -- least of all Dems. Republicans want Dems to respond this way -- to fulminate and rant about procedure and about their inability to pass legislation, even though they enjoy comfortable majorities.

WaPo call its analysis “The Plum Line”? Don’t they mean “The Plumb Line?”

Are they illiterates or is this some sort of inside joke among the homosexuals in the WaPo news room (are plums the new gerbils?)?

It’s getting out that the dems attached a bunch of CRAP to this bill (illegals’ bennies) and THAT’S why the republicans voted it down. The repubs were ALL FOR aid to the first responders....the dems just wouldn’t pare it down to that, so, IMHO, it makes the dems look like THEY don’t care about our firefighters, cops and rescue workers. (and, they don’t).

Dems are acting cocky ‘cause their puppetmaster/keeper (see tagline) is going to “buy” the Secretaries of State before the 2010 elections:

Would you believe his wife’s name is Mrs. Huma Weiner?

That’s a bit extreme: a bucket of water over his head might cool him down a bit. Or maybe they need the “gong” from The Gong Show on the floor.

I’m sorry, but civil servants already have benefits that are far more luxurious then what can be found in private sector. Why noshould the taxpayers be made to foot the bill to further extend them more benefits when our deficit is so out of control.

What is so evil about fiscal responsibility???

I guess his recent marriage to Huma Whatzhername hasn't mellowed Congressman Weiner one bit. I'm so glad. As Hannibal Lector said to Mason Verger, "I prefer you the way you are." I'm looking forward to lots of videos of the loudmouth lunatic lefty from Long Island.

I yield back the balance of my time.

Weiner was so angry that it had to be about money. Must have been a nice little kickback in there.

It’s an opinion column so he gets to say whatever he wants. Sort of how the other members of the media criticize Fox for being right-wing when most of the program is news analysis and opinion.

Why do we need to spend billions of dollar for healthcare on any group when we have such wonderful Socialist Paradise Health Care?

Impotent Weiners can be such an embarrassment when you're trying to score points. LOL!

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
