Waxman dethrones Dingell as chairman

The Politico ^

THAT change will be the nail in the auto industries’ coffins.

Not as if the auto industry stepped into the coffin willingly...

The secret ballot is an American tradition and political right. To deny it is alien to our culture. There should be resistance to this plan. What can we do?

[HappyinAZ]

“This is not Waxman v Dingell, it’s old Detroit vs. the Sierra Club....and the environmentalists won.”

Good...then as the Auto industy and our oil reserves tank...we’ll have a clear winner in the contest for whom to blame!

[Paine in the Neck]

Can't be. The fabrication on the left is obviously the result of experiments on the Island of Dr. Moreau. The patently ridiculous ears give it away.

[nascarnation]

Dingell’s wife is a GM executive (conveniently stationed in Wash DC).

“All hail Nostril-damus!”

My thoughts exactly. Of course we could say that the Holland tunnel replaces the Detroit-Windsor tunnel.

Dingle-Norwood!!!

“This is not good news. Dingell, from MI, is at the very least empathetic to the auto industry and cheap oil. Waxman, from CA, on the other hand, is a greenie of the worst kind. Global warming theorists will be dictating energy policy for the foreseeable future.”

Complete disaster. We’re in for some really bad policy. Say hello to 10.00/gallon gas among other things.

[Doctor Raoul]

That’s Nostril-dumbass...

The House Democrat Caucus:

We Don’t Judge A Man By The Color Of His Skin.

We Judge Him...By The Size Of His Nostrils.

Henry A. Waxman represents California's 30th Congressional District, which includes the complete cities of Agoura Hills, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Westlake Village. He also represents communities including Pacific Palisades, West Hills, Canoga Park, Bel-Air, Century City, Westwood, Brentwood, Topanga, Chatsworth, Woodland Hills, Beverlywood and West Los Angeles.

I'm sure that Waxman will bring a unique perspective to his new post; one that reflects the good ol' down home values of the majority of his district. /sarc

This was just reported on CNBC. They said that the winners in this battle were the Obama Administration and Environmentalists (no surprise there). The losers were Automakers and the Rust Belt.

That is some of the most geologically unstable real estate in North America. Not that I would wish ill towards my fellow Americans.

I’m just sayin’...

[PLD]

Another pig to join the pig stye.

[Ancesthntr]

This is also very bad news for gun owners. Waxman is fanatically anti-gun, and will doubtless pressure the EPA to come up with some regulations restricting the use of lead bullets, or of taxing them in some fashion.

[Cicero]

It’s very, very bad news. Dingell may be a crook, but he’s a crook who favors the labor unions and therefore industry. Waxman is also a crook, but he favors the environmentalist lobby. I.e., he wants to make industry and power generation more expensive and shut it down.

This is VERY bad for our economic future. It means a majority of senior Democrat senators favor the global warming scam, to the point of violating their own seniority principles.

LOL!

If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.

The story broke yesterday. Econazis win out over manufacturers.

LOL! Of course, we should not wish any physical harm for the majority of an electorate simply because they can't muster the intelligence to see through Lefty charlatans, like Henry. However, in this particular instance, I will state that I am damn careful with my purchases of products/services provided by Leftist controlled political districts etc..

It's OK, Obama will create 6 bazillion "green" jobs in February.
