Behold the colossal ignorance that is Sheila Jackson-Lee

Good thing we won the war in Vietnam and now North Vietnam and South Vietnam can live side-by-side in peace.

Can she truly be this stupid ???



Well, she is a Democrat and their recollection of American history is wanting.

Arlen Specter can't give up living off your hard work

As this blog noted in an earlier blog entry, Senator Sphincter (Ego - PA) is more dangerous as a lame duck than as a Senator. Seems Arlen can't quite leave "public service" and is eyeballing a job in the Kickass administration.

Sources tell ABC News that Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pennsylvania, has informed the White House that he would like to consider remaining in public service after his Senate term ends at the end of this session, and White House officials are keeping an open mind about possible job openings for him.

Remaining in public service for Arlen means holding on to power, bitching at staff and having aides throw squash games. Sphincter embodies everything wrong with Washington -- a career politician without any guiding core principles other than self-preservation; and leaving others to foot the bill and clean up the mess. Case in point, Republican Specter voted against Elana Kagan for Solicitor General; presumably because she is not qualified. But Democrat Specter is about to give her a lifetime pass on the Supreme Court hoping to get an Obama appointment and avoid retiring and becoming one of us common people.

Maybe he can be Obama's caddie. Or the guy that washes the limo.

Poor, poor put upon Obama

You see, he is so smart, and so cool and "clean and articulate" that no rational person could dislike him or his policies. That's why all you haters out there that aren't fully bought in to his policies are clearly racists.

And, apparently, that extends to critics of his foreign policy as well.

Now some people (you racists) might think Obama was anti-Israel based upon such things as his shabby treatment of Netanyahu; his meddling in settlement development in Jerusalem, his voting to condemn Israel actions in the UN as to the Gaza flotilla and his overall actions isolating Israel from the West. You are clearly stupid !! Here's why people don't like his Israel policy:

During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that "some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."

Haters!!!

But don't worry, it's not him; it's you. Because you can see from the quote below why the Israelis should be all warm and fuzzy for him:

"Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate," Obama said.

Isn't this the equivalent of "some of my best friends are black"??

Boldly going where no dhimmi has gone before

NASA new priority???

Return to the moon ?? No.

Mission to Mars ?? Nope.

Creation of a space elevator ?? Guess again.

More pointless experiments in low earth orbit ?? Not even close.

The new mission: Improving relations with the Muslim world !!

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him.

ObamaCare meets reality -- may turn away pre-existing conditions !!

Health care insurers who turn away applicants who they consider high risk are branded as evil incarnate; beholden to profit. The fact that the applicants' health risk may pose a risk to the viability of the insurer is always ignored.

But luckily Obama came along with ObamaCare and the government will set up high risk pools and these people will get the medical care that the demagogues have claimed is a human right. Well, in the words of Joe Wilson: "You lie!!"

The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

Of course, this really comes as no surprise:

Healthcare experts of all stripes warned during the healthcare debate that $5 billion would likely not last until 2014. Millions of Americans cannot find affordable healthcare because of their pre-existing conditions, and that amount would only cover a couple hundred thousand people, according to a recent study by the chief Medicare actuary.

Bottom line: It's Bush's fault people have pre-existing conditions!!!

Economic Idiocy

From Speaker Pelosi: Unemployment checks create jobs faster !!

Behold the ignorance:


Her and President Kickass are quite a team.
