State Senator's Obama Comment Leads To Profane Response

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The debate over Florida's public campaign finance system turned ugly as a Republican insulted President Barack Obama and a Democrat gave a vulgar retort.

A senate committee on Thursday unanimously approved giving voters a chance to get rid of public campaign financing, but not before the chairman had to admonish two members for their choice of words.

Republicans let the debate turn into a discussion on Obama's decision not to accept public campaign financing after initially saying he would.

Sen. Ronda Storms said, "They don't want to talk about the messiah having a flaw, but actually it was a flaw."

Democrat Sen. Chris Smith retorted, "Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining."

One speaks about reality, the other uses a euphemism inappropriately. Guess which is which?

A bit ironic...

Obama is pissing on America and telling us it is raining.

Call him on it and you are a hater, racist or worse.

I love it when they get like this! I say pile on and make them go really wacky. Good PR for us. Provided the RINOs don’t screw it up.

If you’re a Democrat up for re-election in 2010, you’re in a really tight, uncomfortable, spot. Can’t criticize Obambi, even while he killes the economy, but you have to find something to run on. Ha ha ha.

Yep - Chrissy Matthews sure seemed to go off the deep end when he had Ari Fleicher on this program yesterday. It’s a riot for us - unfortunately they do not have the ability to recognize just how stupid they sound.

I heard the Ari - Chrissy exchange on the Gallagher show this morning. Ari had Chrissy struck speechless. I loved it.

Note to Chris Smith...

Bub, that’s not rain, and it isn’t mud you’re
standing in.

By definition, "Don't piss on me" can't a profane utterance, because nothing sacred is being abused or violated or treated with gross disrespect. Instead, it's just vulgar -- one more tiny snowflake in the avalanche of gross discourtesy and common crudeness that's roaring through what passes for public discourse in the year of our Lord 2009.

I wonder if Chris Smith has had someone piss on him while being told he's loved.

Where does Smith take his showers, anyway?

“Obama is pissing on America and telling us it is raining.”

The ‘profane’ responses were by the newspapers readers/respondents.

NOT as it seems, from a candidate...

Another stupid gotcha headline by the MSM.

I think Smith captured this old saying as a malapropism...he used it in the wrong place but missed the comic effect.

Here is his website, you figure out the rest.
