IMPORTANT TENSE HEALTH NEGOTIATIONS

Waxman’s Health Care Negotiations Still Moving Gingerly! (Kill Us All)

Henry Waxman, Mean LiberalHey, remember that time a few hours ago when the liberal socialist Democrats and the fascist wingnut Democrats reached a “breakthrough” on health care? Well… eh: “Health care reform negotiations between conservative Democrats and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) collapsed Friday afternoon, a leading Blue Dog Democrat said. ‘It pretty much fell apart this afternoon,’ Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.) told reporters just off the House floor. Ross has been the lead Blue Dog negotiator in the committee.” Apparently Henry Waxman, being Henry Waxman, said, “Fuck all of you people in the butt,” and relations were strained! [HuffPo]

    Well, nothing at all hidden about this emerging sex-scandal!

    The negotiations broke down when Waxman realized that all of us other people had to go to hospitals and stuff to get fixed. He thought that everybody just had to run to Toys-R-Us and buy a new Mr Potatohead like him.

    A Democrat who doesn’t roll over for conservatives?! Henry Waxman, you’re setting a baaaad example for Harry Reid.

  5. hobospacejunkie says at 4:17 pm, July 24th, 2009

    So essentially a bunch of hillbilly rednecks who walk, talk and look like republicans took advantage of republican unpopularity to get their sorry asses elected and now want to throw off the chains of decades of hot button issues that define Democrats and in the process make their president look foolish and leace their constituents with nothing. Why the fuck did they bother? Did they only hear what Democrats supposedly stand for after they were elected? I hope Obama finds an appropriate and petty way to punish these interlopers. I’d like to kick them in the teeth, with a horse.

    allied tech: Oh hey, website whore. What’s up?

  7. Cicada says at 4:20 pm, July 24th, 2009

    allied tech: Please, tell me more about the glorious opportunities at allied tech. Does Henry Waxman work there? Is there any possible way that your link is tangentially related to this post?

    No? Oh, gee. I guess you’ll have to go fuck yourself then.

  8. chascates says at 4:22 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Stay frosty Waxman. You’re one of the few Democrats with cajones.

  9. Pilate says at 4:24 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Seeing that most of these Blue Dogs are from Red States, Waxman probably thought “fuck you, in the butt” was more in the line of an overture than an insult?

  10. problemwithcaring says at 4:30 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Cicada: Though as a pitch-perfect spoof of a overly preening comment, complete with all the necessary elements to render it hideously unfunny (including a link to some Google Page Creator abortion of a website), it works.

  11. Humpback says at 4:32 pm, July 24th, 2009

    So leave his committee out of it, and let’s move on. Blue dogs can go lick their genitals.

  12. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:34 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Where the hell did these “Blew Dawgs” come from all of a sudden?
    Did the health insurance companies race out to buy their nearest Democrat once they heard there was health-care reform a’comin’ down the lane?
    The words “Swift” and “Boat” come to mind.

  13. Gorillionaire says at 4:51 pm, July 24th, 2009

    So when this Ross fella moaned to the nearest reporter, “well the whole thing just broke down” what he was really saying was “gee the lefty Democrats didn’t just lay down and let us walk right over them”.
    To paraphrase the great Jon Stewart; that’s not a bald head on Henry Waxman, it’s a solar powered ass busting machine.

  14. Hooray For Anything says at 4:53 pm, July 24th, 2009

    If Waxman could cast an Imperius Curse over all the Blue Dogs in the House and Senate, we’d have health care for sure

  15. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 4:54 pm, July 24th, 2009

    I have no idea why they dumped John Dingell for this Waxman troll. Sure, he was nuttier than Jim Inhofe on global warming…but he coulda pushed this thing through like a buttered starfruit up Jim DeMint’s tuchus.

  16. Extemporanus says at 4:56 pm, July 24th, 2009

    I’m not especially fond of this new photo of Intern Riley. Bring back the hat!

  17. user-of-owls says at 4:59 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Ross’s district is composed of precisely two constituencies: a landed gentry that would make Central American rural oligarchs look enlightened in their social/political views (maybe 1%); and a vast sea of desperate souls living in such squalor that they envy the dead (99%).

    So, naturally, Mike Ross opposes health care reform. If Mike Ross had a shred of human decency, he would strangle himself with his own entrails.

    Of all the many transgressions attendant to the re-imagining of the Harry Potter series for the big screen, the interpretation of Prof. Flitwick is among the worst.

  19. trickyrick says at 5:57 pm, July 24th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: that is a great solution! right in the face, Blue Dogs.

  20. Extemporanus says at 6:54 pm, July 24th, 2009

    trickyrick: hobospacejunkie: Sign me up, too! Only I’ll be fucking them in the ass, with a horse. Actually, on second thought, they’d likely enjoy that.

    Teeth it is!

  21. Hooray For Anything says at 7:06 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Phew….I was worried there for a bit that I was the only one on Wonkette to out themselves as a Harry Potter nerd. Well, me and Newell.

  22. Jukesgrrl says at 8:20 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Someone over at HuffPost suggested the group’s name be changed to Blue Cross Democrats.

  23. GreenHalo says at 8:32 pm, July 24th, 2009

    Insurance Companies: “Delay, deny, and hope they die. Seriously, that’s the industry in-joke. Isn’t it funny? It’s a joke that rhymes!”

    Congress: “Trust us, just delay and it’ll die. Never fails, no one’s to blame. You guys gotta learn: never touch the paperwork to begin with, that’s the secret.”

    Dems in 2010: “Ow! Ow! Our buttholes, the bleeding! How can the Magic Obama Base do this to us? Thanks for fucking us in the ass, peasant scum! This is why we can’t have nice things!”

    True Believers: “No, brah, Rahm is gonna sneak around the Hill squeezing people’s nuts and twisting their tits until a Magical Miracle occurs. Obama only EPIC FAILS us because he loves us. See how the economy is fixed and Goldman paid back their monies? …Hail Barry fulla grace… I am heartily sorry for having doubted thee…”

    That about wrap it up? I think that’s pretty much everything.

  24. ExecutorElassus says at 9:22 am, July 25th, 2009

    allied tech: Boo blog/website whoring! Jim, where’s that banhammer?

    I really love¹ watching congressional Democrats - who could ram just about anything they wanted through Congress right now if they’d just grow a pair - go on and on about how they really want health reform: except that it can’t cost anything, can’t harm the usurious insurance industry, can’t actually involve public insurance, or actually be anything different from our current shithole.

    I hope they all get syphilis and die.

    ¹ By “love” I mean it’s like hate-fucking myself with this recently-emptied scotch bottle.

    Dogs are brave, courageous and loyal. Where do these blue dog creatures get off comparing themselves to dogs. Dogs they are NOT!

  26. zhubajie says at 7:49 pm, July 25th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: What do they want? Bribes, whores, banquets, etc., from lobbyists, etc. Just like the good old days of Duke Cunningham, but without getting caught, going to jail!

  30. Lazy Media says at 10:47 pm, July 25th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: Uh, Blue Dogs have been around since the Reagan years. They supported WJC when he managed to balance the budget with a tax increase in ‘93. A little respect, hippie.

  31. artbot2000 says at 3:33 am, July 27th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Yes, but the use of the Flitwick image for Waxman is inspired. Hervegh Villechaise has already been taken, pretty much forever , by Gonzo.

    Oh, and Lazy Media: the BlueDawgs only supported Clinton as long as he lined their pockets. It was strictly cash and carry. They are looking to get paid. If they were dealing with an old-school guy like Murtagh, they’d be paid off and out of his office in minutes. Guys like Waxman just confuse the small-timers. A little respect? For whores? Always!
