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.

:-) Thanks Unrepentant VN Vet! It's a pretty place and we have a good R governor. So there are some upsides.

LOL! I only enforce the cuss jar on the Tony Snow Thread. All other threads, it's up to Jim Robinson and the Admin Moderators. :-)

If the only thing they "have" on Senator Allen is a made-up story about his wearing a toupee...

then we KNOW we are backing the right guy!!! I am sure that George would be the FIRST to laugh at that thread...except the language.

:-) You're welcome, FOXFANVOX! I do think that when we look at the Dems, truth is really stranger than fiction. And they are heavily into strange :-D

It's funny. Every SOTU Sheila Jackson Lee dresses in red and stalks the President like he was a rock star looking for a kiss. After the SOTU she will run the the press and rip the President.

LOL! Please! Hildebeeste has to use blue contacts because on her bookcover "rewriting History" she has blue eyes but in older photos she has hazel ones.

Not to mention the chin implant and face lift.

Kerry and Hildebeeste smear Prep H on their faces :p

Kennedy used to wear a girdle (I suspected that he wore one the day of the Ali-OH-to vote on the Senate floor)

Stretch Pelosi - a picture is worth a thousand words

And the DU makes up stuff about Allen? LOL!

Maybe if Rep Jackson needed the face time he should have worn a bright red suit.

I do think that it's hilarious that Ted wears a girdle. Why won't he wear a man-bra, like Kramer suggested? A bro

Al Gore! Uuugghh! Another loser. I hear he won't even speak to Senator Leiberman anymore cause Leiberman won't go along with all the RAT agenda and talking points........Oh I remember the creeps name now !The one that was with Sheila Jackson Lee ,this year trying to stick her mug in the camera right next to the president. It's Stephanie Tubb Jones and shes another major hypocrite. She was the one leading the fight claiming that Bush wasn't legitimately elected cause the voting in Ohio in 2004 was all messed up because of long lines and ''irregularity's.''And we must have a recount or start all over again, or some such nonsense.Gosh politics is a dirty business! I don't think I could plant a giant kiss on someone and then turn around and stab him in the back the next day,,,,,,LOL...I guess the RATS don't have a problem with this......
