Heated Rhetoric in Washington (Oliver North)

Atlanta, GA —

It has to be the heat.

A severe outbreak of Global Warming Disorder (GWD) among Washington's elite is the only possible explanation for the strange behavior of so many power brokers.

Temperatures in Washington were so high this week that White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, perhaps suffering from dehydration, had a brief moment of lucid candor. During an interview with The Hill newspaper, Gibbs took a page from Sean Hannity's playbook and castigated the "professional left" for criticizing President Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan and his unfulfilled pledge to close the Guantanamo terrorist detention facility.

"I hear," said Mr. Gibbs, "these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested. I mean it's crazy."

Unfortunately Gibbs did not clarify whether he believes there is some connection between drug use and mental instability. He did however note what it will take to bring Obama's backers back into the fold: "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we've eliminated the Pentagon."

This is of course the same Robert Gibbs who famously forecast during last month's record-breaking heat wave, "there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control" of the House of Representative in the November elections. Understandably irritated by the prospect of losing her perks and privileges, Speaker Nancy Pelosi downplayed Gibbs' efforts to keep the Democrat base home from the polls and told CNN: "I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about what the president's employees say about one thing or another."

Apparently uncertain about how effective these comments might be at alienating fellow Democrats, high temperatures in Nevada forced Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to take matters into his own hands or mouth...

"In my first book, Under Fire, I wrote that I revered Ronald Reagan. That was a dozen years ago. I still feel that way. I think he changed the world for the better for my children and my children's children."

AMEN to that!

Both the House and Senate had to come back to the sweltering swamp this week to vote on unfinished business. In their haste to get out of the broiling temps, nobody noticed a $600-million "border security bill," approved first in the Senate and then by the House, actually violated procedures mandated by Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution: "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives."

LOL! Gotta love it! Ollie sticks the knife in and twists. And he's just as cool as a cucumber about it.

[jazusamo]

That was absolutely beautiful the way Ollie put that.

That fiasco reflects on just how inept the people running the House and Senate are. At least the Democrats in the past had some inkling of how business was done, now they’re only worried about the next election and how to keep their fellow Rats out of jail.

:-)

Can't remember if I posted this to you before....

[jazusamo]

WOW! Does that ever depict the current bunch of Rats running the country.

Can’t wait for November, there’ll be less of them.

Just blame it on the heat.

"That darned Constitution! When will people give it a rest?" - Congress

Thanks for the ping jaz.

“For those who think it’s hot here, it was 107 degrees in Helmand Province today. And over there, Americans go to work in flak jackets and helmets.”

An aside sort of, but a sort of response heh heh is that here in the Glen Valley area of Riverside County we experienced anywhere from 107-118 during the decade of the ninties. This current decade we’ve only broken triple digits less than a handful of times. We welcome the cooling trend.

Today will once again be in the early ninties Fah.

Well, it's understandable that you think that's John Belushi, there is a striking resemblance after all; but in reality that is none other than Senator John "Bluto" Blutarsky!
