STOP  WELFARE  FRAUD!Like so many young Washington residents in this brutal economy, Wonkette operative “Nicorette St. Monstre” (if that is her real name) has some unemployed bums for roommates. One such jobless loser worked in the Bush Administration until whatever happened last week, and now our Operative finds her dwelling filled with these wretched, hopeless welfare cases who fear the very idea of real work.

Good Morning Wonketteers!

A potential tip: My roommate was a political appointee during W’s administration. Now, of course, she no longer has her job. She “landed” a job at a clothing store in downtown DC, where she works 20 hours per week. When I got home from work yesterday, she was sitting with a group of her former-appointee friends. They had all just filed for unemployment, and were sitting around joking about it.

I told her she couldn’t do that, since she has a job ($11 an hour will probably not support her purse habit, but it will help her pay the rent) and she has the option of working full time there. She said that she doesn’t want to work full time at the clothing store (ewwwww!), so she wants to get unemployment to supplement the money she receives at age 24 from her parents each month.

None of her fellow Bushies are actively looking for work. Some are studying for the GMAT or LSAT, and using unemployment money to “have a little extra” in their pockets. They told me that the libruls can pay them to do nothing “since we love social programs so much.” This is sickening!

I wanted to give you guys a heads up, since this problem may extend beyond the group in my living room. Perhaps former appointees across the country are committing fraud! There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed Americans who actually need federal programs, especially while the economy is in tatters.

I love your site, and when the federal agency I work for finally blocks it I will be so pissed. Also, Jim Newell, as a fellow _____ I can say with complete certainty that we are the sexiest people on the planet.

Best,
Nicorette St. Monstre

It’s not satire if you’re actually doing it.

They’re sitting around trying figure out how to become welfare queens, which they were always told existed in the liberal ghettos. They’re working up enough courage to drive through “that” part of town right now, in search of the mythical she-beasts.

So, yeah, don’t expect your living room to be livable for quite a while, Ms. Smoking-Cessation-Aide.

Anybody else here grow up in the South? Pretty much every welfare/disability white person I ever knew growing up there was yer basic stereotypical fire breathing conservative idiot. These were the people that got pissed off that Medicare wouldn’t pay for cab rides to the clinic to get a hangover remedies. These were the people that complained loudly that Hillary was giving everything away to the darkies. Loved Pat Robertson but slept through church every Sunday. These unemployed Bush appointees are about a half step away from these folks.

So while in DC I found out that my friend’s friend was Cheney’s personal assistant. She said her friend calls him “a really nice guy.” For serious.

She thought her gig was done on the 23rd but nooooo… Lord Cheney required her to fly back to Wyoming to get him settled into his old digs.

I expect my friends to know better than to consort with the evil doers so this was a little distressing.

Nico, I feel your pain. You will be happy to know that your local office of Job and Family Services (formerly known as The Welfare Department) will be onto to your roommate’s shenanigans like ugly on a chimp *if* her application is successful. They will basically hound her for any moniez she was able to get from them, and take her tax refunds until it and any interest and fines are paid in full.

They haz powerful computers that will track if your girl has filled out an I-9 and had payroll taxes deducted from a recent job. They are like the IRS in that respect.

When she comes home crying that she can’t get teh welfare, kick her in the pussy for all of us. Please tape yourself doing so, and post it here.

Oh, and turn in her deadbeat friends, too. I think we may be able to take up a bail collection for you if it comes to that.

I had a white lady come to me for assistance today, and tell me of the Plight Of Teh White Lady, which is that you look nice, and “Shaneequa Down At The County” doesn’t believe any white lady that looks that nice is that poor. (We give heating assistance, she was talking about the heartless bastards down at The County.)

I breathed like they taught me to in anger management class and processed her application, and told her that Shaneequa just acts that way because of how her mama and her mama’s mama were refused welfare back in the day for “looking too clean”. I told her it sucked when people were denied the benefits they were entitled to as tax paying, working citizens.

I said Shaneequa probably understands how it feels to be on the squirming end of shit and it’s not fair, but this is what we gotta do sometimes when we have to eat.

Everybody’s falling a little further down the ladder; I’m having to give a lot of whiteys the Pep Talk these days.

Gallowglass January 28, 2009 at 5:48 am

Gorillionaire: I also grew up in the South and noticed the same thing. I just moved to the Pacific Northwest and I’m afraid things are no different outside the Confederacy. I’m working at a grocery store because I had the bright idea to graduate from college into a shiny new Depression and I am sadly one of the only pinko leftist voices in the breakroom debates. The rest of the $8.50/hour drones are all: “I don’t want my paycheck supporting no dead-beats. Global warming, the economy, everything else in the world is Obama/Clinton/Al Gore/the Liberal’s fault (insert nauseatingly convoluted and nonsensical reason here)”

It takes every ouunce of self-control not to scream “That’s YOU, motherfucker! You’re all on foodstamps because the Invisible Hand of the Great Free Market has “decided” that a fair wage to pay grocery clerks isn’t enough to buy food at your own goddamn store! Without the public tit in your mouth you’d be living in cardboard boxes and fighting with rats for food! You ARE the deadbeats Limbaugh and the others have such a boner to root out!” So I’m familiar with this young ______’s woes, although not the Neo-Con Hoovertown in her livingroom, and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to her in this most trying time.

Does anyone else think that a Wonkette commentor and a Bush staffer sharing an apartment sounds like the set-up to a hilariously banal sitcom? I smell syndication! Are they both _______? Sounds sexy. Also.
