You Can’t Make This UP!

Not all of the Republican clowns are running for President. Karl Rove, AKA Turd Blossom, has collected millions of dollars from Wall Street to help Scott Brown defeat Elizabeth Warren in the Senate Race in Massachusetts. Rove is using some of that money to run advertisements accusing Ms. Warren of being a tool of Wall Street. Yes, the accused is that Elizabeth Warren, the feisty advocate for the middle class, the Elizabeth Warren who was so instrumental in establishing the Consumer Protection Bureau, the same Elizabeth Warren who is stridently calling for the reform of Wall Street. Someone should tell Turd Blossom that it is one thing to try to sell the stubborn, independent, Yankees of Massachusetts a bag of bullshit and quite another thing to throw great, steaming heaps of bullshit at those voters. The good people of Massachusetts have a history of reacting very strongly to someone who is insulting their intelligence in such a blatant manner. If I were Scott Brown I would disavow those advertisements and back as far away from them as possible.

Meanwhile, in the Presidential primary ring, the clown show continued. Mitt Romney showed just how out of touch he is during the last debate by challenging Rick Perry to a ten thousand dollar bet. The average family of this nation has an annual income of about sixty thousand dollars. This bet says it all. It explains why Mr. Romney would think that the thousand dollars the average family would save next year by the passage of the payroll tax cut is a mere drop in the bucket. During this same debate Newt Gingrich demonstrated what a shameless demagogue he is by calling the Palestinians a made up people. One would think that a supposed historian would know just how incendiary such a statement is! Such statements might earn Gingrich the dumb ass votes, but it is highly detrimental to our diplomatic efforts at a time when diplomatic success is so vital to our national interests.

Can The Democrats Be This Lucky?

Newt Gingrich? Really, Newt Gingrich is the leading Republican candidate! Yes that Newt Gingrich, the disgraced former speaker of the house who was forced out of congress in a bipartisan effort because of his violation of the rules of ethics. This is the Newt Gingrich who cost the Republicans an election because he was irresponsible enough to shut down the government at a time when the people of this country had this strange notion that a government should actually govern. This is the hypocrite who called for the impeachment of Bill Clinton over a sexual affair when Gingrich was also having such an affair. This is the shameless demagogue who panders to the baseless fear of the uneducated by advocating a constitutional amendment to prevent sharia law from replacing the constitutional amendments and other laws that already prevent sharia law in this country. This is the same Newt Gingrich who was paid millions of dollars by Freddie Mack, a pharmaceutical company and a health care organization and disingenuously insists he is not a lobbyist. I can understand why the Republicans are not eager to embrace the empty suit that is Mitt Romney, but Newt Gingrich has changed his positions on the issues almost as often as Mr. Romney has. The bottom line is that neither man stands for anything but his own self-promotion!

But wait! It gets even better! The Republican clown show has taken a bizarre twist in what has become a political bizarre where even amateurs, such as Herman Cain and Donald Trump, have come to sell their personalities and their wares. As Mr. Cain fades into the shadowy world of the also ran, the Trumpster is making a return appearance. There is a proposed debate in which this consummate huckster and self-promoter known as Donald Trump will serve as the moderator. Can you imagine electing the new apprentice to be the next President of the United States? Hang on to your seats, folks! You ain’t seen nothing yet!
