Well, this is uncomfortable. Here’s Walnuts having a “senior moment” as he mumbles happily (or sadly?) about how the House and Senate will surely pass Obama’s Democratic $3.6 Trillion Welfare Budget today. [YouTube/Associated Press]

HHEEENNNNGGGHH!…Shit, cold meds, I got nuthin’
By billion, I assume you mean trillion, which is just as well, because anything over hundred, financially speaking, is difficult for me to grasp.
BUT WAIT!
They haven’t even debated the “Republican Road to Recovery” yet! Whatever happened to bipartisanship in this country, like we did back in the days of Bush?
I agree, the GOP “Path to America’s Prosperity” budget, or as I like to call it the “euthanize the sick and old” budget would make a good for basis for negotiations in much the same way that “decapitation” is not an option that should be taken off the table when exploring alternatives to a teenager’s expensive acne medication.
I wonder when McCain’s family is going to spring for the mausoleum and finally lay this poor man to rest. The GOP has trotted this corpse around more than James Brown.
It would have been SO much better with McCain as president. It’s likely he would have just forgotten about the economic crisis entirely instead of spending so much time on it – and getting everyone so worried and upset.

Anything over a hundred means an all-nighter at the strip bar. Anything over five hundred means at least one trip to the champagne room. Anything over that just blows my fucking mind!
Shoulda started working on your own plan a little sooner, Gramps! Before this Tuesday, say.
The young’uns are quick nowadays!!!
I like how Walnuts says America should have a debate about “our futures.” Plural. One future is eating hobo beans, and the other one is grilling steaks with reporters at one of our seven mansions. Debate!
Oh WALNUTS! Barry tried to work with you people. I believe the conversation went something like this:
Barry: We need to stimulate the economy with more spending.
GOP: Tax cuts for the wealthy only!
Barry: No.
GOP: Tax cuts for the wealthy only!
Barry: Sigh. Tax cuts for the middle class?
GOP: And the wealthy!
Barry: Damn it. What about government spending?
GOP: Tax cuts for the wealthy AND a freeze on government spending.
Barry: What? That’s not how a “compromise” works. Here look at these numbers and charts we have, can you look at them?
GOP: What about OUR ideas? Here’s OUR budget. It doesn’t have numbers yet. We’ll get those to you in about a week.
Barry: But we really need a budget, like last week.
GOP: Why don’t you listen to our IDEAS?
Barry: Look–
GOP: Ooooh, now you’re getting all bent out of shape.
Etc.
[re=279308]Serolf Divad[/re]: State-sponsored euthanasia? What is this creeping socialist bilge? Besides its a major pro-life no-no (See Kevorkian for details), the Republican plan was more like “let them die on their own, in poorhouses, like Jesus intended,” but what do you expect, with global warming its hard to find a good ice floe these days.
Here’s something to spur bipartisan negotiation, nincompoop: Suck my azz.
[re=279305]freakishlystrong[/re]: That sufficed.
Dear Walnuts: Blow me.
I actually kind of wish that the majority leadership would put the budget on hold for, like, an hour. Just to take an opportunity to completely eviscerate the ‘alternative’ budget, and what a great idea a spending freeze is.
McCain, I’m sure, is desperately hoping that they pass the budget today, because I’m pretty sure that the entire point of releasing the ‘alternative’ yesterday was so that it wouldn’t get considered, giving Boner, Cantor, et al. the opportunity to whine about nobody listening to their ideas, without the risk that anybody would realize their proposal is worth its weight in dogshit.
[re=279319]Gallowglass[/re]: It’s not real socialism until you recycle the olds as Soylent Green.
maverick!
the beady dead eyes, make them stop looking at me!!
Totally offtopic, but Dr. Dentist Orly Taitz, Esq., D.D.S., J.D. has taken down the Obama is a Black Muslim British Citizen petition…
“We have about 2200 signatures on the Petition to Date. However it has to be taken down for clean up.”
Of course, she didn’t say that about 4/5 of those 2200 signatures were from Wonketteers, /b/tards, Farkers, and Ebaumsworlders.
Ken, we need a post about Dr. Dentist Orly – she is so incredibly batsh*t insane that she makes Bachmann look like a Zen scholar by comparison.
PS: McCain is a tool. Always has been, still is, always will be.
Senator McCain gets that look like when the producer is talking in the TV reporter’s earpiece while the reporter is interviewing someone. However, McCain is hearing the voice of his mother and thinking of his sled, Rosebud.
Dear Walnuts:
Bend over and take your TruckNutz like a man.
Kthxbai.
[re=279308]Serolf Divad[/re]:
I love you and want to have your cyberbabies.
TIME FOR YOUR NAP, MR. WALNUTS. AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE COOKIES AND PUNCH IN THE DAYROOM.
@ 1:15, Walnuts uses the pejorative “Democrat” only to be corrected by Blitzer’s “Democratic”. Holy fuck, stop the presses.
When McCain says that this is not the kind of stimulus package our children need, he’s right. Megan was hoping for a “stimulus package” with a little more meat in it, as it were.
The Republicans are so stupid they cannot even remember the name of their opposition.
Hey Johnny-boy; it is the Democrat-ic Party.
They have nothing left but name calling and wedgies.
[re=279344]bitchincamaro[/re]: The return of journalism in America will come under the cloak of correcting senile fucks on semantics.
but.. what of the Boehner/Ryan/Cantor joke budget?
I…er….we.. sure… “those people” have their monies plan for the futures.
But we… republicans… we do not associate with…er… “those people.”
[re=279345]WadISay[/re]: And by “Stimulas Package” you mean Schlock-boy, right?
re=279321]Mr Blifil[/re]: Thanks, I blame fucking Florida.
What they need for this budget is a snazzy music video/advertisement with some bangin’ rock music in the background and disconnected text that floats randomly around a black background.
OT: Dow above 8,000!
[re=279360]freakishlystrong[/re]: Hey, April Fool’s was yesterday.
[re=279319]Gallowglass[/re]: And who’s going to run these poorhouses your socialist vision — the government? I don’t think so! Now, if we could call them “debtor’s prisons,” there might be some room for compromise.
So… tired…
[re=279365]bitchincamaro[/re]: I fully expect Drudge to get the siren out and claim the rise on that sensible Republican Boodget from yesterday.
You know who else was a befuddled grumpy shet bag in depends?
That maverick, HERBERT HOOVER.
You suck like Hoover. (UCWIDT?)
Aw, look at how sad Walnuts looks when he stops spinning desperate nonsense for a minute and admits that the budget will pass. “Aw, hell, Wolf, of course it’s gonna pass, they won the damn election. I’m going to go somewhere and cry now.”
Hey old man, we don’t pay you to waste our time and our tax dollars creating a budget that you know will never pass
[re=279318]NoWireHangers[/re]: Yeah, you might have thought the GOP would have learned from Geithner’s first failed and numberless bank bail-out plan, and included a few numbers in their first (and not last) and failed budget.
TRILLIONS FOR STIMULUS! BUT NOT ONE CENT FOR WALNUTS!
I love the way he bludgeoned that whole “generational theft” happy crappy in there, all diagonally & whatnot.
Pretty sneaky, sis.
coot.
[re=279360]freakishlystrong[/re]: Haha, back when the market was at it’s bottom a month ago, a rightie friend was giving me the dead-eye, flat monotone thing about this being the greatest destruction of wealth in the history of blah blah. Now that it’s above where it was on January 20, I should ask him if he cares to change his view. Of course, we forget that much of the fall from 14000 was anticipatory fear of Obama, (and not crappy fundamentals). But if people really think the market is going to tank, tell them to sell short and invest in non-US currencies. Or STFU.
Remember that guy at the RNC who said a McCain administration would mean “less taxes, more wars?” That poor bastard probably needs a little cheering up right now. Maybe he can apply for some stimulus money.
[re=279393]WadISay[/re]: [re=279360]freakishlystrong[/re]: It’s the Obama Boom! You can almost see the top of the mainmast of the frigate Retirement on the horizon!
Get Walnuts a better brand of Polident for his lower choppers and an industrial strength battery for his hearing aid. Further remediation, however, is clearly useless.
[re=279346]sati demise[/re]: The Democrat/Democratic is some kind of Republican meme as they often call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, especially during the Bush years. For some reason, they find this a hilarious put down.
I didn’t take econ in college, so what he said makes perfect sense to me.
[re=279340]Terry[/re]: Line forms to the right babe…
Somewhere Eric Cantor is listening to Brit Brit and crying into his pillow
Haw Haw the Rebutlickin’ said “Democrat.”
The fundamentals of the economy are strong, after all.
I love the civics lesson at the end there: “Sorry, Fuckbag, you just don’t have the votes….that’s how DEMOCRACY WORKS bwahahaha…”
I know how you were tortured and all John – but you must STOP THE CYCLE. And by that I mean the news cycle. Please quit torturing the rest of us with these embarrassing interviews and just concentrate on helping your daughter get laid.
[re=279431]Hooray For Anything[/re]: They’ve been doing that for over 100 years; the OED cites the first use in 1890, and it was pretty much standard by the ’40s.
The Republican Party: Douchebaggery since 1865.

[re=279366]V572625694[/re]: Faith-based debtors prisons, I trust. It’s not enough that the olds and poors die alone without recourse to a doctor, but they must be saved beforehand and accept why Jesus wants the rich to become richer and the poor to die in squalor.
[re=279318]NoWireHangers[/re]: today i am in love with NoWireHangers.
also: parliamentary democracy?
[re=279324]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Also Wolf. Such as.
