Friday afternoon is prime goof-off time at any work place. You check your Facebook and MySpace. You make final arrangements for your weekend pet projects. You can make a Youtube video bashing your co-workers and then broadcast it on Cspan. Whaaaa? Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich), did just that. Because the party who promises "unity" actually used the House Floor to promote division in the workplace and in Congress. Armed with a ruler and some charts, he rips off an Ann Coulter bit "What Democrats Really Mean," with 70% less half wit.
Now can you imagine if a Dem started defining the Republican like this? It would be everywhere... and yet this has seemed to slip on by.
While the Rep could use a a master's class in stand-up from even the folks at Comedy Traffic School, there were two things that really stuck in craw.
He says, "When Dems say change they mean The 70's. " I guess that's a jab at Jimmy Carter. Has he forgotten that decade was controlled by the Republicans 60% of the time. The big Jimmy Carter fouls were the Iranian Hostage situation and the oil crunch. Has he forgotten what happened from 1970 to 1976? I can't defend the hostage situation, but the oil prices today are so out of control.. perhaps a little 70's oil rationing is in order. Prices might go down just a bit.
Repubs created that problem.. Jimmy just had to solve it.
Now sure I could go into some easy reversal bits... like "Morality" means "deception," "hate," and "unnecessary violence." "Low Approval Ratings" means "No one understands me" But just those two already make me feel uncomfortably Foxworthy.
But the main question is "Why the hell are you broadcasting the fact that you are screwing off at work on a Friday afternoon? Wasting my money, not working for me?" Just go back to your office and hide it... like I do.
