Tantrums

Do you know what is not quite, but almost, better than getting health care for 32 million Americans and helping close the prescription drug loophole on Medicare?
“Watching the hang dog Republicans suck on bitter, that’s what!” Juanita exclaims.
“All morning long, I have distinctly heard the sound of an empty cup being banged on a high chair tray, over and over, and over…..”
“I saw John Cornyn on teevee this morning saying that it ain’t over yet. Well, that might be true if John thinks that a pile of dumb can stop a freight train,” Juanita chuckles. “And trust me on this, John can supply all that dumb on his own.”
“Then there’s John McCain whimpering that he’s ‘repulsed by all the euphoria‘ over the bill’s passage. Damn, this is a man who was not repulsed by Sara Palin being unable to name the three branches of government, but is almost merrily repulsed by people not dropping dead because they can’t get health care. Can get get an adjustment on his Repulse-o-Meter?”
“I was watching the debate yesterday when that creepy Michele Bachman was rattling on in that voice of hers that sounds like a teaspoon in the garbage disposal about how Barack Obama is setting up interment camps with Janet Reno’s black helicopters and little alien children from Kenya or something, when my phone rings and Bev Carter, publisher of the Fort Bend Star newspaper, doesn’t even bother with hellos. She just shouts out, ‘Doesn’t that Michele Bachman just make you want to upchuck?’”
“Yep.”
“And those of us raised in the Southern Baptist church did not miss the subtext of the GOP’s new website – Fire Pelosi. They are not going to wait for Armageddon, dammit.”
The site also asks you to “Tweet firebomb” – a sort of version of spamming your friends – using the hashtag #FirePelosi to try to gain growing support for the movement.
“I’m kinda enjoying this. And they’ll owe us more, too, because when they give themselves heart attacks, we’ll give them health care. I’ll betcha a pair of pink boots that that’ll piss them off even more!”
Juanita says that you should hug a Republican today for entertaining us so much!

John Boehner was so entertaining! I love it when a man with a Man-tan, hair plugs and french wrap manicure goes bonkers!
1I loved Cantor’s outrage just hitting overload when he ran out of time then in normal tone of voice says he needs 15 more seconds, thanks his fellow thuglican for 30 seconds and winds back into outrage in a nano second — for theatrics that was too obvious! As for the George Hamilton wanna-be (Boehner) I cannot understand how anyone in Ohio could vote for him — they are hurting for jobs, etc. and that man has done nothing for any one but himself from day one.
2Yea Juanita!
3Had beautiful dreams all night of Republican heads exploding like balloons. Have to wonder though – how will Perry and the Pirates try to torpedo the ship before it can sail in for another Battle of Sabine Pass.
Vadelia told me ” It took almost 100 years to get past the Republican Health Care for everyone road block but now we are pedal to the metal (she likes Nascar) and to the checkered flag!”
I have to agree but the fight for rights of the lesser than rich folks isn’t over. We need Jobs, a new Governor…ie… Bill White who has feelings for all not just the rich and greedy, a change in the Texas State School Board who have common sense not Religious Ideology and Bigotry and most of all our share of Democrats as elected officials and on the Judicial Benches.
4I’m greedy! A wonderful first phase victory. The second step is getting a few million of the beneficiaries to understand that they should belly up to the voting booth and do right by the Democrats who fought this battle on their behalf. The first Republican that tries to take credit for this should answer directly to Juanita.
5OK, have you guys figured out who the coward was that yelled out ‘baby killer’ to Bart Simpson,I mean Stupid,I mean Stupak?
You would think with all that teabagging, republican love fest outside the capitol, the coward would be a hero?
What’s their phrase? It takes a man to be a man?
Texans need a few good women in the House!!!!
6I fear that the coward screamer was some Texas nitwit. And we thought our worst embarrassment this month came from the textbook morons.
7I saw this today and loved it to pieces! I probably can’t embed it, but the link is good.
8No go on the embedding. If this doesn’t work either maybe you can just delete these….
