The #1 asshole in Congress, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, says that Obama left Joe Wilson with no other choice than to shit out of his mouth last week, because who told Obama he could leave the back forty before sundown? “I don’t think there’s ever been a President comes to the House of Representatives as a guest of the members of the House and makes a declaration like he did. I mean, the President threw the first punch.” [TPM]
Quick, get Stevie-pooh a Whaaaa-mbulance.
Wait. I thought Rep. Pete King (NY) was the #1 asshole. Was he recently usurped?
Obama was asking for it. Just look at how he was dressed.
What declaration? Did Obama dissolve Parliament or something?
Since she beat him to the I-heart-Joe Wilson bandwagon, (http://www.dustytrice.com/?p=6531) I still vote for Bachmann for #1 asshole, although The Asshole King has a nice ring to it.
And also, if the Poles hadn’t been so darn stubborn about not giving Danzig to the Germans, none of that World War II stuff would’ve happened, right Mr. Buchanan?
“You know, the Old Book tells us, ‘A harsh word stirs up anger’” said [Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN)] — The Old Book? The Necronomicon?
martinette: Or possibly ‘The Asshole Tsar’.
Are these imbecilic, drooling, mouth-breathers afflicted with lead-poisoning? ALL of them?
I betcha King checked all the silverware in Congress after the speech to make sure it was all still there
He may be King Asshole, but Mark Foley will always be The Page Master. And Joe Scarborough The Girlfriend Killer (accidentally.) In fact, there are many such dubious titles which republicans can claim.
I’m pretty sure that Our President used the back door and said “Yes Ma’am” and “Yes Sir.” He didn’t try to eat at the table with Joe Wilson or try to go to his country club.
On another note, I saw ‘Chelle Bachmann on C-Span. Reading aloud is not really her cup of tea. Also, the “crazy eyes” are also “blind-without-thick-glasses eyes.”
Thought bubble over the children of the corn:
‘Yeah…yeah…who does that boy think he is…uppity jackass. Doesn’t he have a chifferow to go bust up or something.’
They grow their assholes mighty big in Ioway, by gum, mighty big! Chuckles Grassley and now this yokel. Mighty big assholes indeedy do!
“I am using fake political capital to manipulate you morons into believing an opinion based upon what I have been told to say by the 5 insurance companies that are contributing to my campaign fund to say this. It’s not your fault you are stupid— hell I really don’t know what the fuck is going on either. I just got a memo, and well, here we are today.”
TGY: The Disney folks insist on The Asshole King, except for the Eastern Europe release. Perhaps someone has a song parody in mind….?
What a great victory for the right wing. The bill will now require proof of citizenship before we get treatment. My question is do we have to show this proof before or after the ambulance arrives? Make sure you have your papers in order each and every morning in case that’s the day you have a heart attack.
Thus saith Louie Gohmert, “That’s no way to act when you’re invited into somebody else’s house.”
No? And I suppose wearing a retarded sign around your neck that makes you look like a squalling infant with a soiled bib is proper behavior.
If Joe Wilson is an officer and a gentleman, does that mean that Barack Obama is Louis Gossett, Jr?
And if so, why can’t his love lift us up where we belong?
A “gentleman” yells “You lie!” at the president in the middle of a joint session of Congress? For the first time in, like, history? That’s gentlemanly behavior? Well, shit. Now I feel like a sucker for apologizing for throwing rocks at passing cars when I was nine. I could have said that the driver started it and gotten out of getting grounded. Where was Steve King when I needed him, dammit!
Okay, I’m rethinking this whole “they shouldn’t be saying these racist things” thing.
I say now, let them. Encourage them. Applaud them. Give them as big a podium as their cracker a**es will fit behind to spew their hate to as many people as they can.
Because given their declining birthrate, given the unstoppable demographic march to oblivion that the Tea Klux Klan is on, every racist invective they utter makes their day of ultimate insignificance come a little closer.
Fewer and fewer people want to know the what the best kind of wood to nail into the shape of a cross is.
Ultimately their political dreams will be sucked into a (heh heh) black hole.
Rotundo: Yes, corn-fed and corn-holed. They both spent all recess in small Western-Iowa towns trolling for pretty male pages with big stalks.
Native of SL UT: That’s why I’m going to start wearing my U.S. passport in a little pouch around my neck AT ALL TIMES. I was born and raised near Pittsburgh, but for some reason people occasionally figure I have a foreign accent for some reason I’ve never been able to understand. If one of those people happen to be paramedics, well… I’d rather them pick me up rather than leaving me for the INS’s forensics unit.
shadowMark: Pence probably only reads from the Readers Digest version.
“F.A.I.R.” stands for “Forum for Anti-Immigration Retards”. Also.
Yeah, see Obama called them liars FIRST!!!! He started it!
So if they’re ever at the the White House then Barry can open a can of whup-ass on them there? Sounds fine to me. Maybe start bouncing dodge balls off their head as well as yelling “Liar” every time someone says something the Big “O” doesn’t like.
Let the games begin.
@queeraselvis v 2.0: Someone should remind Louie Gohmert that, if the Capitol is a house, then he is merely the hired help, not the owner.
“Yes, how dare the President point out that we are lying, and not expect us to make up shit about him?”
Let this be a leason to all: Conservatives have no idea what the truth actually is. That is how 70,000 people becomes two million, Obama becomes a Kenyan, and telling doctors that you will pay them for their time for end-of-life counseling becomes DeathPanels (TM) going after the golden child, Trig.
The Good Book also says, “A kind word turneth away wrath.” Asshole.
Larry McAwful: I spent seven years in Pittsburgh. Y’uns do have a foreign accent.
Joshua Norton: I can see it now. “This is MY house, bitches! Welcome to THUNDERDOME.”
Oh, gosh, how do you prove you are a citizen when the ambulance picks you up as you are gasping for breath or unconcious? Or is that only if you aren’t white? Imagine how stupid their electorate must be to have sent this moran to Congress.
TGY: the “Tsar Baby.”
They all just want a piece of the money Joe Wilson has been getting from “the base” (that is, insurance companies).
Joe Wilson was provoked by the extreme reasonableness of Barack Obama’s words. ADD MORE KRAZY!
Also, Rep. Cornholio of Ioway can just fuck off.
I’m sick and tired of seeing old grey heads bobbing in agreement to stupid fucking lies.
This just goes to show that the Republicans are, LITERALLY, fighting facts. Good God, I never thought they would vocalize what they have been doing all along.
That’s it. Pack it up. Game’s over. Republicans lose forever. The end.
groove: Well, but they use the same excuse about congressional pages. “He was just asking for it, bending over like that.”
Why is this douchebag in front of the big black death panel?
As I recall, Obama said “some politicians” told lies, not “Joe Wilson lied” or even “some in this room lied.” So, a vague, general charge of not telling the truth was met with the very personal charge of “you lie.”
In any event, isn’t this like the robber telling the judge “he made me shoot him when he wouldn’t give up his money”?
@McDuff: Good point. Seems someone was feeling very defensive.
Hopey dont play that game: This is what happens when you let them wear people clothes.
I am not sure they really want to be using the Old Testament for guidelines on how to treat others.
Steve King, Peter King, Michelle Bachman, Mark Foley and my personal favorite is Virginia Foxx. Maybe we could start a wingnut fantasy league. Im not sure how the scoring will work yet but its got potential.
EdFlinstone: Maybe we could total up the number of witches and/or books that are burned.
The US is the Western Roman Empire and these fruit loops are the Visigoths. Welcome back to the ‘new and improved Dark Ages’
Rotundo: We vote them into office to make them leave Iowa.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Win.
Why does King keep jerking his head around? Is he getting ready to dodge shoes?
“I don’t think there’s ever been a President comes to the House of Representatives as a guest of the members of the House and makes a declaration like he did.”
Possibly true. I mean, how many times has the Prez gone up before a congress so stupid that he actually has to explain, “This bill, printed on paper with words in English that you can read, if you are able, will do only what it says.”
OH MAH GAWD AH BIN PUNCHED!!!1!!one!!1!
