Apology Not Accepted, Claire McCaskill

by Jim Newell  

Much like elderly penguin Carl Levin, Claire McCaskill was forced to utter the acceptable adult word “shitty” today while discussing internal Goldman Sachs e-mails that said “shitty.” So here she is apologizing to her mother and the state of Missouri, on the Twitter. But she owes an apology to Goldman Sachs most of all, as does everyone, for questioning them. THEY WERE JUST MANAGING THEIR POSITIONS, YOU GUYS! [Twitter via Clusterstock]

She apologized because, if she wasn’t just quoting, she would have called it “this motherfucking scam you piece-of-shit cocksuckers should have shoved up your fucking asses.”

chascates April 27, 2010 at 5:29 pm

Unlike Dick Cheney’s famous ‘F**k you’ which he now claims is one of his greatest feats as veep.

V572625694 April 27, 2010 at 5:30 pm

Jeez you should hear Tweety dancing around this. Then he said priests watch porn, and felt he had to apologize for it 15 times. More like pussyball than Hardball.

WadISay April 27, 2010 at 5:32 pm

The rest of this message was, Shit-piss, I ran out of characters.

SayItWithWookies April 27, 2010 at 5:34 pm

[re=565636]chascates[/re]: Which is the first thing I’ve ever agreed with him about — though probably not for the same reason.

I certainly hope the Goldman Sachs folks come up with something more colorful than “shitty” to describe what happens to them next.

jus_wonderin April 27, 2010 at 5:35 pm

Should she apologize for saying “gold man sachs” too?

GOPCrusher April 27, 2010 at 5:35 pm

At least she didn’t stand up, grab her crotch, and tell the guy to suck her dick.

nappyduggs April 27, 2010 at 5:36 pm

Careful there, Clairebear. We all learn how to use swears by just repeating them, after all.

Shitty the Clown April 27, 2010 at 5:37 pm

I can’t see what the problem is. What’s to apologize for?

BOOBIES! April 27, 2010 at 5:37 pm

“THEY WERE JUST MANAGING THEIR POSITIONS…!”

Investors positioned on bottom, bent over, grabbing their ankles. Goldman Sachs positioned behind and on top of investors, pants positioned around ankles while Goldman Sachs’ managers thrusted wildly.

please dont do a cuss in congress

[re=565650]BOOBIES![/re]: Is that fully-leveraged buttSachs?

Berkeley Bear April 27, 2010 at 6:01 pm

[re=565650]BOOBIES![/re]: Actually, Goldman’s position is two-way pimp/fluffer. The ankle-grabbers thought they were the johns, only to find out Goldman sold them out to wealthier johns for rogering, with Goldman jumping in to fluff the wealthier johns as necessary.

I apologize.
My mother apologizes.
My state apologizes.
My country apologizes.
My world apologizes.
My Universe apologizes.
My God apologizes.
My high School Sweetheart apologizes.
My underwear apologizes.
My pet monkey apologizes.
My belly lint apologizes.
My belly lint’s lint apologizes.
My little toe that went to market apologizes.

Somewhere, George Carlin isn’t paying attention to these retards talk.

Bearbloke April 27, 2010 at 6:26 pm

That’s a rather shitty apology, Sen. McCaskill…

Autochthon April 27, 2010 at 6:33 pm

She should have her mouth washed out with soap, before the entire Congress. Palmolive has a nice, piquant, after-dinner flavor, I’m told – heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand…

bflrtsplk April 27, 2010 at 6:34 pm

What a shitty excuse for an apology!

slappypaddy April 27, 2010 at 6:34 pm

[re=565643]SayItWithWookies[/re]: shitty-shitty-bang-bang (it’s a jailhouse thing).

slappypaddy April 27, 2010 at 6:35 pm

the fecal point of the issue

coolcatdaddy April 27, 2010 at 6:44 pm

I thought “shitty” was a technical term used in the financial industry, used in conjunction with “shit on” when referring to investors, 401K holders and the like.

I Heart Accuracy April 27, 2010 at 6:48 pm

Puritanicalhypocrisy thyhazatweetz. The new koolaid for jackasses everywhere.

Aquannissiwamissoo April 27, 2010 at 6:54 pm

“shitty” is GS shorthand for “until it touches the back of their tonsils …”

Extemporanus April 27, 2010 at 7:02 pm

“MISSOURI: The Sh** Me State”

Sharkey April 27, 2010 at 7:17 pm

The last time I heard the phrase “bad word” was in like 8th grade. Well, until now. Claire, do you still believe in the Easter Bunny?

MsNicky April 27, 2010 at 7:26 pm

[re=565648]nappyduggs[/re]: Actually, the way it just rolled off her tongue all natural-like, sounded to me like she’d had a lotta practice sayin’ it, just sayin’.

bruiser April 27, 2010 at 8:05 pm

I doubt anyone at Goldman ever uttered the phrase “Cocksucking Jesus, you Senate pages couldn’t find your assholes if your fucking butts weren’t connected to them.”

That one’s probably all Claire.

getoffmylawn April 27, 2010 at 8:06 pm

[re=565676]rocktonsammy[/re]: correct. The US Senate has reduced George’s list from 7 to 6.

Advocatus_Diaboli April 27, 2010 at 9:25 pm

shit shitty shit. It truly is a vulgar word. And it describes perfectly the “products” sold by that fucking vampire squid.

the problem child April 27, 2010 at 9:25 pm

Well, socialist Canadian radio played it uncut and without any apology. I don’t know what she’s so sorry for.

artbot2000 April 27, 2010 at 9:57 pm

[re=565636]chascates[/re]:

Actually, it was “Go fuck yourself,” which, given it was said by the Vice President of the United States of America, on the Senate Floor, well, can HARDLY be said to be forbidden or bad language any more. After all, if it were, could Vice President Cheney have said that?

artpepper April 27, 2010 at 10:06 pm

“Shitty” is a lot more fun to say than “collateralized debt obligation.”

El Pinche April 27, 2010 at 10:08 pm

Tonight, I thank Wonkett for “buttSachs” and “elderly penguin Levin.”

Words April 27, 2010 at 10:15 pm

Oh, please. What kinda shitty mother does she have that she has to say “sorry” for quoting some asshole’s memo saying “shitty” about his shitty stock? And what kinda shitty kid needs to apologize, for Christ’s sake? I think this is a shitty situation that deserves none of our shitty attention. Oh Mom?????

Words April 27, 2010 at 10:17 pm

Sorry, guess I’m in shitty mood tonite…. :-(

betterDeadThanRed April 27, 2010 at 11:25 pm

The other Goldman Sachs technical term is “lying sack of shit” meaning a Goldman Sachs trading star. As in “You lying sack of shit, we’re increasing your bonus.”

Monsieur Grumpe April 28, 2010 at 12:00 am

I have script I’d like her to read. It involves a shaved cat, some organic carrots, Wal-Mart brand Hitler memorabilia, Ben Gay and a new twist to the classic pizza delivery boy line “And here’s the pepperoni!”
Think she would be interested?

bitchincamaro April 28, 2010 at 12:02 am

So Twitter is in the shitter. Who knew?

assistant/atlas April 28, 2010 at 12:43 am

I just have to say, with a tinge of hometown pride, that Missouri’s reputation as a place that isn’t regularly a source of embarrassment for America is definitely on the rise. Between badass former prosecutor Claire “Doesn’t Take Shitty Shit from the Shitheads at Goldman” McCaskill and the retiring Republican guy who occasionally says ‘eh, fuck it, I’ll vote with the Dems on this one’ that’s gotten put them among the best Senate delegations in America.

While that’s sad for America, it’s a happygood for Missouri–things are looking up! …as long as they don’t fuck it up with that Goldman CockSacher Roy Blount.

Beanball April 28, 2010 at 1:21 am

[re=565765]assistant/atlas[/re]: I’ll grant you that Missouri can justifiably take pride in the fact that they voted for a dead ex-governor for senator over a live Repressive. Even though it is also the home of Mark Twain, Harry Truman and French’s mustard, you gotta admit that Interstate 70 between Kansas City and St Louis is a pretty shitty road.

obfuscator April 28, 2010 at 1:40 am

[re=565767]Beanball[/re]: [re=565765]assistant/atlas[/re]:

it’s similar to illinois in that it would be just another midwestern shit-pile if not for a large metropolitan area that counterbalances the rural/downstate regions.

Missouri: The Show Me Shit state.

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 28, 2010 at 5:57 am

Keep fucking that chicken, Claire. Keep fucking that chicken.

[re=565676]rocktonsammy[/re]: Where is George Carlin when we need “Seven Dirty Words You Can Say in Congress.”

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 28, 2010 at 6:00 am

[re=565636]chascates[/re]: Republicans have always been more at ease with salty language. It is how they keep in touch with the common man.

vladster April 28, 2010 at 8:07 am

[re=565782]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Yeah, they learned common man speak at Yale.

TGY April 28, 2010 at 8:37 am

We are hopeless as a society. Well, at the moment, anyway.

Manos: Hands of Fate April 28, 2010 at 8:38 am

If McCaskill really cared about moms and Missourians she would have busted Lloyd Blakfin over the head with a swivel chair and pissed right on his unconscious, bleeding body.

And still, I like her. She’s the kind of lady who could stay out drinking until 4 but still make it in time to pick up her gramma at the bus station at 6 a.m.

Crankenstank April 28, 2010 at 1:34 pm

Dads and people outside of Missouri obviously don’t give a shit.
