Poor Eddie Liddy has to work for AIG for $1 a year and spend all his time defending the doofuses who thought it was a good idea to pay their employees hundreds of millions of dollars to fail. Watch him squirm in front of the House Financial Services subcommittee in just a few minutes, as our dumb elected officials attempt to make it look like this was all his fault even thought they could have done something about this mess last year. In lieu of the usual liquor and guns, please bring to this liveblog a cheap over-the-counter cough medication of your choice and a rusty switchblade. You’ll need the real stuff when the revolution comes. UPDATE: Well bah, Liddy isn’t due to testify until the “second panel,” whatever that is, so in the meantime we will find some funny YouTubes or something else to write about.

I highly recommend Delsym brand cough medicine for its healthy dose of dextromorphan.
Here are a few reviews on some website I found for pharmacists called Urban Dictionary:
Its so great. You also might need somebody sober with you to watch you and keep you out of trouble, this person would be called your “babytripper,” but whatever you do… have fun!
and…
A cough medicine which will fuck you up.. you think acid and other drugs are they shit.. im takin it you havent tried DELSYM. Delsym makes you see crazy things and you WILL have Bizzare sensations. This drug is VERY addicting. This will be the biggest trip of your life. Its UNEXPLAINABLE!!! everything you do when you are on delsym seems perfect. Nothing goes wrong. I LOVE DELSYM!
one time i was scrunching to the ground and walking and i thought i was a midget. everything seemed so perfect.
another time a hellicopter went by and the louder it got the more it fucked with me and after it went away i was like “delsym moment”
It wasn’t officially Watergate Redux, until we had Liddy on the stand.
[re=267689]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Just what I need.
Something to control my cough and make me believe a thousand spiders are eating my skin.
[re=267689]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: I had a bad cough one day and took some of that shit before going in to work. About an hour after the dose, I was teaching a class on some boring Victorian novel to a pack of bored boys and girls, our particular Red State’s best and brightest. And I was as high, high, high as a goddamn cloud by then.
I had Inspector Gadget arms! Very convenient in the classroom
I haz no access 2 TV; can anyone see any spools of piano wire ready for use?
Wow. I was going to suggest, in jest, that you live blog this theater of the absurd. My Wonkette takes it one step further and actually does it. This is why I love you.
One reason to keep Texas in the Union.

This grilling of people by the legislators that didn’t stop them is always just awkward and uncomfortable, watching the dude try to stop himself from saying “well you signed off on it…”
I think a better process would be to just stick the hapless loser and the head of the most relevant subcomittee in the stockades out on the DC Mall. All the public embarrassment of the former method without a gorilla being ignored in the corner.
[re=267694]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Holy crap. I have been taking the wrong cough syrup for years.
I find it very difficult to watch congressmen (especially GOP congressmen) acting all outraged toward the very CEOs whose dicks they were sucking last year and whose dicks they will go back to sucking as soon as this mess is over and people have forgotten about them.
I hate Congress. Liddy should go in there and announce his immediate resignation with this kicker: “You unwind this mess yourselves, biotch!”
He can also demand that Barney Frank give him a blumpkin.

It’s been a few years since I thudded my brain with dextro. It is an unusual high, or rather, low. I found it akin to slowing your brain-thinking down to a barely functional crawl. Phone conversations are particularly enjoyable. And you definitely need adult supervision. Just following a grown-up around for hours can be fun.
But I have to disagree on the addiction part. It takes a few days to digest what exactly just happened to you after you take it, and takes a bit of a toll on the body. I can’t imagine doing this but once every couple of months at most. But I don’t think you can buy any dextro medicines in Texas that aren’t full of that awful guaifenesin. A formula with just dextro & horrible-tasting syrup is a find to be treasured. Mix with Sprite.
[re=267699]shanemacgowan[/re]: “For those of you who are wondering if it trully is a liquor and gun store all in one, the answer is yes. We offer a large variety of spirits, wine, beer, premium cigars, chocolates, all types of firearms, ammo and accessories under one roof w/ a drive thru.”
[re=267694]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]:
My deepest sympathy for your unfortunate employment location. I have to perform a weekly mental detox on my 15-year-old.
I loves me some MACARONY!
I bought this new electric pitchfork sharpener at IKEA (“Knordaa”?) and can’t seem to get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
I mean it.
Barney Frank said the Dems tried to address this when they were the minority. Yes, bring on the lawsuits! I love how the Rethugs are all about the American People now, when this deregulation BS is their baby from the Ragan days. They all have got richer than god from this very behavior they are now condeming. Can anyone say hypocrites from hell? Give me a f*****g break. Pffffffffffffft
I have a wet noodle standing by. You know, just in case he needs lashing.
[re=267706]Servo[/re]: Oh, I got outta there long, long ago. Thank you for the kind words, though. It’s not easy being literate in the Fry Sauce belt.

Liddy has got to be some kind of masochist. I’m watching to see if his hands are under the table the whole time.
Outrage!: the search for scapegoats
It’s Capitol Hill, right? There are long series of stairs that lead to the top of the hill? THEN KICK THEM DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS
now if only our elected officials had been just as outraged about all the garbage going on at AIG these past few years which helped collapse the economy; instead they choose to huff and puff about a couple of bonuses after the fact. how about instead of wasting time pretending to try and get back bonuses that make up a minuscule proportion of the money we’ve handed out, they try spending their days crafting regulations that deal with the actual causes of the economic clusterfuck? yay let’s take away their bonuses, but let’s totally allow companies to keep engaging in the insane insuring of garbage investments that AIG did! there’s nothing to cure people’s rage, quite like not doing anything about the actual problem.
[re=267692]gurukalehuru[/re]: But will he eat a rat?
[re=267689]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Fuck the cough syrup. I have lortab and codeine.
[re=267694]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: You are all making me rethink the lack of Delsym in my legal drug arsenal.
[re=267705]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Please tell me it advertises on a Christian television and/or radio station. I was in Armadilla, excuse me, Amarilla–excuse me again–I spelled it like an okie pronounces it–AmarillO and was amused that the gun stores seemed to be the prime sponsor of the Christian teevee station.
It’s times like these you want a Jack Ruby on your side.
[re=267703]Delicious[/re]: It would be refreshing if one of these douchewads just stood up and yelled, “You’re the ones who took our goddam campaign contributions and looked the other way while greedy, scum-sucking capitalists like me raped the global economy. I never to an oath to uphold the fucking constitution, just to get as rich as I could any fucking way I could.”
That, I feel, would make for good teevee watching.
[re=267711]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Fry sauce! Acey Greasy burgers FTW.
I am intrigued by the caption on that photo. A “new method of macaroni making”? What the hell does that mean?
[re=267702]Serolf Divad[/re]: Let’s not single out the GOP here. Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer suck more corporate dick than Ashley Dupre.
Wake me if there’s liveblog.
Does the macarony-making have anything to do with that Yankee Doodle song?
Actually, it looks like macarony is just another word for tar & feather. Ouch.
