MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Auto Bailout Wins, GOP Offers Appropriate Criticism

I see the quote actually comes from our friend David Vitter.
Did they actually say “ass backwards”? Just after the Craig hearing????
Well, if anybody knows from ass-backwards, it’s the Vit-man.
It’s just ironic is all, the Repubs approach every ass backwards, non?
Oh! It’s true! The jar is empty! Oh my God! We’re ruined. Christmas is cancelled. No presents for anyone!
Fuck the GOP! Assholes!
queeraselvis v 2.0: “Trust me, I did that with a diaper once, and it hurt to pee for two weeks.”
Sometimes the snark is just too easy.
Only in America can you get more blame for paying the bills than breaking the bank.
Is this a sidebar to the Taint story?
I wish Reid or a Dem with a set of balls would have said “Well, David, the automobile industry needs a hand. They don’t sell WHORES–just cars!”
*Must*hold*back*from*obvious*
NO! I CANNOT!
It is clear that Republicans enjoy the ass-back, but also ass-forward approach. Usually these two approaches are done back and forth, in a simultaneous matter. Please e-mail Ted Haggard with any questions.
Thank you.
That money will be gone by COB today.
Why are the Republicans even at work? Didn’t they read the morning summary? It’s Call In Gay Day.
Servo: Bwah! I have visions of the 3 CEOs and the UAW hack stuffing the private jets with bricks of cash and heading to Paraguay.
Regarding the ads on the left bar? I just saw a girl blowing on top of Ted Turner.
The new H5 will be a hybrid that runns on whore-diamonds and/or Bollinger.
It will get 1 km/WD or 1km/100 lt.
AND to teach you assholes a lesson they are converting everything to metric without consulting you.
Thanks for the money suckaz.
…I still think they should have just bought the damn companies.
Congressional Republicans, left out of negotiations on the package, are expressing grave reservations and may seek to block it.
David, honey, the more you resist, the more it’s gonna hurt.
“ass backwards” … well, I thought they’d favor a reduction in the capital gains tax. I thought that was like WD-40 and could solve anything.
…as long as your ass is backward and your dick is forward then you’re ok! Cant be having the buttsecz can we?!
AngryBlakGuy: You really want to drive a car designed by a government committee and built by the lowest bidder?
Well it stands to reason. They have become the “Ass Forward” party of record.

Now it’s a girl blowing up the skirts of the Talk of the Town. Goddam you ass-fuckers are kinky.

It’s always ass with the GOP. Anal compulsive for sure.

I am a democrat, but the Republicans are right, this is a ass backward plan to help the car industry! Why should we help them?! They made shitty gas guzzling cars for years and refused to innovate, not to mention how ridiculous their wages are for the union workers. The only way they would have properly reformed was to lay off, and start from scratch. Thinking anything will change is stupid.
“Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, said his side hadn’t seen the measure as of Wednesday morning and wouldn’t agree to immediate votes. “Republicans will not allow taxpayers to subsidize failure,””
WTF? Have the Repugs forgotten about Iraq already? And don’t get me started about the bank give away, I mean bailout.
KatieKate: Totally agree. The U.S. auto makers have only their own incompetence to blame for their current situation. No doubt these executives see themselves as representing the very essence of free market capitalism. Funny how they appear completely oblivious to its most basic principle: If your business fails to meet your customers’ needs, they will go and find one that does, and your business will be out of business.
Despite the public utterances of officials on The Hill, I doubt there would be many (on either side of the House) who don’t privately know that these Detroit Dinosaurs are toast, and that any taxpayer money “lent” to them may as well be used to start the next Congressional barbecue. Indeed, there is already talk about this money being merely the first instalment.
If this so called bailout does go ahead, I suspect it will have more to do with sitting politicians (understandably) not wanting such well known icons to fail on their watch, as the saying goes.
No snark here- Such failures would (will) be a tragedy for all involved, as well as being a severe blow to U.S. business prestige. Sadly, the only question is how much taxpayer money is going to be squandered before someone finally stands up and declares the party over. We can only hope that something better will rise from the ashes.
indeed these three automakers need any financial assistance and support all the way to make greener cars for the future. Any financial assistance for the Detroit’s Big Three are necessary. But hopefully, we’ve been expecting a larger number of positive results.. These car companies should try to make some alternatives to address our economical problems. Why not make any modifications on their car parts too? (ex: a more developed high flow catalytic converter and interiors).
