Dan Rather: GOPers ‘Seek to Cut Out President Obama’s Heart & Throw His Liver to the Dogs’ By Brad Wilmouth Created 11/21/2010 - 12:00pm

By Brad Wilmouth | November 21, 2010 | 12:00

On Sunday’s syndicated Chris Matthews Show, panel member and former CBS anchor Dan Rather - currently with HDNET - made an over the top metaphor about the Republican Party wanting to "cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs." The panel was having a discussion of the likelihood of gridlock, with substitute moderator Norah O’Donnell asking, "Isn’t there some pressure on the Republicans not to deal?"

Inspiring hysterical laughter from panel member Katty Kay of the BBC, Rather quipped: "All kinds of pressure, and I think they stated it straightforwardly - some may say it is harsh - but politically they seek to cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs. That’s what it’s gonna be. They’ve said it directly that’s in their political interest, and that’s what they’ll be trying to do between now and 2012."

With what Øbongo and his traveling mayhem show have done to our country, I’m good with that.

...politically they seek to cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs.

He makes it sound like that's a bad thing.

That was his name he used on TV after changing it from Dan Blather.

And there's a problem with this??

I would suggest abut 30 days of on-again, off again waterboarding before the "heart - liver" thing....just so he knows a little something regarding what he's talking about.

Absolutely not.

First, that assumes he has a heart. Second, my dogs don’t eat garbage.

For the record, 0bama doesn’t need us for any of that.

If the man had any honor he’d commit seppuku here and now.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

Metaphorically speaking, absolutely correct.

What the Left did to Bush should be visited on "Obama", tenfold.
