LawTalkers - You (all) lie!

What's bizarre about a freshman congressman--whose political career is essentially dead--taking a parting shot on the biggest stage he can find? Dude needs to find a job soon, and it seems unlikely that he'd get much help from the Dems.

And, as absurd as it is, it's a step up from the milquetoast we're getting (and will continue to get) from Evan Bayh. Crash and burn is at least entertaining.

My prediction: following cancer recovery, Massa will run for Governor of NY. Figuring he can't be any worse than the last couple, NYers flock to his campaign. He is adopted by a couple of billionaires, and the Republican Party is then replaced by the Massabloom party, first in NY, then in the rest of the North and West (other than Alaska).

The Massabloom Party slogan: Frack Them All.

Really sounds like he's looking for work on the Tea Party circuit. Maybe he'll get added to the Palin show as the "balance".

Or he's just trolling for someone to frack.

Praising with faint damn yet again, I see.

Verily.

And few would make that claim on your behalf.

Here's a tweet that sums up the trajectory of things nicely:

Not sure where he goes on Wednesday.

I think the worst part of that quote isn't the attempted slant, but the lack of clarity and confusing structure of the thing. It's just badly written.

I had a summer job once where people called me Rudie. No shit. The natives got into fistfights on the dock for amusement,* and I was once shrinkwrapped to a beam in a blast freezer, "for laughs."

I'd say Rudie "is" FAIL.

* Foreman once punched me in the face for no reason. Started laughing. I had to do the same to him to keep things in stasis. I think he's dead now. Last time I let my father set up a job for me. I was supposed to be one of his buddy's caddies or office lackey. They put me to work in a freezer/warehouse. I think I've compromised feeling ina few fingers from the experience. Thankfully, they stored beer on one of the floors.

There's so much talk from conservatives about their fear that health care will be rammed through, etc., that I start to think a lot about repressed homosexuality, nttawwt.

I'd been waiting for that. The incidence of ramming references was getting to the point where somebody had to pull the trigger.

Boehner's already a little fruity (fake tan). Imagine the Freudian slips, in his deadpan way: "It's clear to me President Obama plans to ram this thing straight through the back door. Relent a little when he meets some resistance, but the minute that lets up, ram ahead again. Pull back, ram ahead... pull back and then ram forward again, right up until he gets the whole damned thing in through the back door. Frankly, it's disturbing. I know I didn't sign up to have this thing thrust at me this way, and I don't think the American people like it either."

Actually, I think there is something wrong with repressing your sexuality, homo or hetero. It leads to ranting lunatics who can't speak coherently about the topic of sexuality because the whole time they are focused on hiding their true thoughts. So, yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.

With more than 100 times the number of posts? I think I win on efficiency. T. A. I.

She's leading by example. Doing anything would have opened her to charges of hypocrisy.
