What a Party! (Dems fall over themselves for camera time at SOTU)

What a Party!

by John Hinderaker

 

This hilarious account is from the New York Post's Page Six gossip column. The item is titled "Booted From Forbidden Aisle":

Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) and Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) got to the floor of the Capitol early and staked out seats reserved for Democratic senators. "Since none of these Democrats over there [in the Senate] filibustered Alito, why can't we have these seats?" Jackson argued. "That makes sense to me," McKinney replied, according to Roll Call columnist Mary Ann Akers. "Jackson went back to his office, leaving McKinney to protect the seats until showtime," the D.C. weekly reports. "Three hours after Jackson got back to his office, though, his cellphone rang." It was a "frantic" McKinney saying that sergeant-at-arms staffers were kicking her out of the seats. Jackson rushed to the floor and argued for "a few tense moments," but Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) prevailed. Jackson told Roll Call he needed his face on TV....

I think one of the Republicans' real problems is that it's too easy to look good compared to the Democrats. For the country's sake, that isn't a high enough standard.

If Bush surprised everyone and used a different door, he could have said hello to the Democratic Senators that were still mad about Alito and sulking in the shadows.

Perhaps these DEMonstrative children should plan ahead and play "Musical Chairs" before the next SOTU? I think they should be forced to sit on their hands next time and duct tape their sassy mouths shut. Better yet, make them turn their seats around and face the back corner of the room until they can learn to conduct themselves like responsible adults.

LOL! No, I think it tortures them enough to have to face Bush as President, giving his 4th SOTU. Heck all we have to do is show up and they freak out. :-D

Not too badly. The pool overflowed a bit, and the backyard is a bit mushy, but that is about it. Thanks for asking!

Jackson Jr. to the Sargent-at-Arms:

My daddy is none other than Jesse Jackson! I'm not sitting in the back of the hall! I'm staying right here!

Sargent-at-Arms to Jackson Jr.:

You wanna be on TV, I'll taser your ass and they can watch you twitch if you don't get your ass movin', now!

Ain't THAT the truth! LOL I heard that many Dems have taken to cutting down, mowing down, and digging up the landscaping around their homes. In their attempts to make the world a safer place, they are trying to rid the world of bushes. ;)

SL,

I had no idea that you lived in Mass until now.

Do I send a sympathy card? (I trained Navy fighter pilots during 'Nam, and I wouldn't live in the same TIME ZONE as john-the-_______________-kerry.)

Okay, I'll make another five dollar donation to the Snow cuss jar on account.

Or....wouldn't you think their black constituents would think it a BAD thing to be shaking the hand of the man that is keeping them down???

BTW...I heard a sound bite of Jesse's dad, the "Reverend" Jesse...last night on the sports talk station...and it seems he is upset that the Rolling Stones are the headline act at the Super Bowl...and the soundbite they played had him saying, "It is not fair".

Just that...it's not fair. Obviously Jesse's folks never told him what my parents told me...and I have told my kids and grandkiddos...Life isn't "FAIR"...it just "is".

Thanx for the funny, Save. I see visiting the land of fruits and berries has sharpened your powers of observation and humor. Only the Marx brothers [and we are not talking about the bad Marx] could rival these clowns for foolishness!
