Illinois Congresshottie Illinois Rep Aaron Schock, who doesn’t miss his old belt at all, thank you, is campaigning against all the signs being posted up everywhere announcing that such-and-such place is a stimulus fund project. In a new YouTube, Schock rails against the signs, which he says are useless and cost “well over $10,000 a piece.” Surely America can find cheaper ones at Walmart.
On his noticeably teal-free website, Schock says he wants to stop money for new signs, make agencies say how much they’ve already spent on these propaganda placards, and take back that money somehow, maybe through magic. To rally the troops, he’s been promoting his proposal through YouCut, Rep. Eric Cantor’s meaningless “American Idol” program for brilliant policy ideas that lets viewers at home text or online-vote on what they want Congress to stop funding.
As Schock reportedly told Pajamas Media:
“The constituents in my district look at those signs and see tens of millions of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars being spent, no jobs created, and hardly any infrastructure,” Schock said. “I’ve already had several emails and phone calls on my personal phone from friends back home that are upset about it and say, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’”
If the Real Americans use their phones cast pointless YouCut votes, then maybe they’ll stop calling Schock all the damned time, and he can get back to burning his clothes. He’ll also have more time for wining and dining, which probably explains why his GOP pals have been “tweeting the video like crazy”. [Pajamas Media]

Does he know how much it cost to change all the Metro signs to say Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport?
He’s very concerned about this potential waste of a small of money and wants to make sure the government saves a little more, of course; it’s not like his party has been lying about the stimulus and these notices counteract those lies.
And I guess jobs in the sign-making industry don’t count?
The engorgement in my boyshorts is “a stimulus project” and it is all his fault! What is he going to do about my infrastructure, HMMMMM?!?
Also, I would propose that instead of this economic-recovery destroying signage I should just write whatever the Americans need to know on his torso, with lipstick.
What the hell was this post about again?
Sign-makers’ kids want to eat, too.
“Hardly any infrastructure?” Maybe those signs are load-bearing, douchebag.
And the sign says “Gubbiment spending money to help people”
So I covered my teal belt with my shirt and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you’ll do
So I showed off my belt, I said “Imagine that, huh, me supporting you”
Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
Blockin’ up the scenery, mockin’ my mind
Obstruct this, didn’t support that, can’t you read the sign?
And the sign says “Anybody caught being a hypocrite will be mocked on sight”
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the White House
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a sign to call me out, or to hog all the glory in
If the founding fathers were here, they’d tell it to your face, man, you’re some kind of Muslin
Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
Blockin’ up the scenery, mockin’ my mind
Done this, didn’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
Oh, say now mister, can’t you read
You got to have a checkered shirt and teal belt to get a seat
You can’t watch, no you can’t eat, you ain’t supposed to be here
And our sign says “You got to have to be an asshole to get inside” – Yes!
Doesn’t buying the signs stimulate the sign-makers and their suppliers?
I’ve got some impressive infrastructure to show the Gentleman from Illinois…
Oh yeah, that stimulus did nothing, except now I can actually drive my car without the exhaust being torn out by some potholed road from hell, and some folks who had nothing to do with the financial collapse are actually able to work and support themselves and their families. It’s a lose-lose for everyone.
Rep. Schlock is just accustomed, as are most Republicans, to the government doing its work in secret — secret wars, secret assassinations, secret deals, secret parties at lesbian bondage strip clubs, etc. etc. Also, it looks bad when you’re standing in front of a sheriff’s office or factory with a big prop check for a million dollars and the whole scene is ruined by that little socialist logo advertising that the money you’re taking credit for came from the bill you voted against.
Sooooo, he’s gay and retarded? Total lock for re-election.
I used to work in a state-run sign shop. Maybe that’s the problem he has with it: another ‘pub against gummint workers?
[re=612924]Doglessliberal[/re]: not to mention the I-88 Reagan Memorial Tollway (renamed in 2004 with SIGNS!), which runs just north of his district and connects much of Chicago Metro to his uber-tanning prancing grounds.
Sign painters need to work too.
This is the only picture I’ve seen of Mr Schlock, and straight male that I am, I don’t see what anyone’s aquiver about. He looks like Goober Pyle with a jew-fro.
But on further review, I love his devils’ horns!
[re=612938]M Lite[/re]: NO! MUNEY SPENT BY TH GUBBERMINT IS SPEN DOWN A HOL OF NOTHINGNES! COMMIECOMMIE COMMIE!!!11!11!!!!1
Is that female body behind him real or a plastic blowup doll? And that lounge chaise is certainly conveniently placed to block some serious booty….
Signage that costs over $10,000? Man, that’s gotta be one huge-ass gorgeous sign. I wanna see it, congressman. And the invoice for it.
“I think if put to the test the American people would overwhelmingly reject tens of millions of dollars of their money being spent on promotional propaganda,” he said. “If that’s an argument the president and his administration want to get in then that’s one I’m willing to have.”
Actually, We’d probably rather talk about why Republicans are blocking the jobs act or holding up the unemployment extension; but that’s not an argument douchebags such as yourselves ever seem willing to have. So, let’s talk about signs.
As someone who regularly drives through his district, I must say I like the pretty signs and the fact that the roads aren’t complete ass anymore.
“That’s roughly $20 million spent nationwide, without creating one single job,” he squeals. Hey fucktard who made the signs? People with jobs who generate more hard-on American tax dollars? Fuck yeah! FREE ENTERPRISE CORPORATE CAPITALIST COMPANIES that compete for government contracts made those signs ass hat!
FUCK, clearly we need to elect more people who will simply let the economic engine seize entirely. That will show us. Bring on the soup lines Hoovernut.
Much of the Stimulus Money in “personal phone”-boy’s Indiana district has gone to make up for deficits in public school budgets and to fund programs like Meals on Wheels for those social parasites, our seniors. Now that the money is ending, school kids will have to make do with extra, extra, extra long, unsupervised recesses and work-study programs down at the local recycling station, assuming that the massage parlor isn‘t hiring.
[re=612937]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Your talents are awe-inspiring. Well done!
[re=612951]Jim89048[/re]: What were you in for?
[re=612984]S.Luggo[/re]: Whoops. Did I say his district is in Indiana? It just looks like (central) Indiana. It’s the similar fly-over quality I guess.
[re=612955]harry palmer[/re]: He looks like James Caan to me, and that guy always gave me the screaming skeevolas, there’s something deeply sleazy and evil about him.
He’s from the Alvin Greene school of thought, obvs.
Does the guy with the six-pack brain know how much ‘Mission Accomplished’ signs cost, since we could just write on the backs of those? Must be warehouses full of those somewhere.
[re=612937]ManchuCandidate[/re]: You should get a Weagle for that alone.
These are the same people that floated the trial balloon of the Gubmint spending money to change Mt. Rushmore to add The Beloved Saint Ronnie of Raygun shortly after his death, so I can understand the poutrage of having road work signs with the name of a black man on them.
I actually live in this shit-head’s district(a big slice of Springfield, Illinois). This place is hypocrisy ground zero – the district would have dried up and blown away without state and federal government employment and spending years ago. Thanks to gerrymandering, though, his district has a white, older GOP base that resents “taxing and spending” even as they demand cost of living increases at their state jobs, cash their pension/Social Security checks or suck up farm subsidies. The city as a whole is a closer call, but it is split among 3 different Congressional districts.
Notice he has no problem with the actual projects, which are mainly going to private contractors with ties to both parties (especially the GOP around here) and are all over town. Just the signs, which suggest the bill he repudiated is actually helping. Douche.
[re=612997]S.Luggo[/re]: Having lived in both Indianapolis and Springfield, your geographic markers are off. Springfield looks much more like either western Indiana (say Terre Haute) or southeastern (Columbus, but with less pretty bridges and architecture). It only wishes it was as developed as central Indiana.
YouCut is a site for Eric Cantor. Shock’s site is YouUncut, where he filters out the guys he does not want to have sex with. If he has such an aversion to smegma, why the fuck is he in the Republican Party?
As I blogged about on Monday, if one drives Shock’s district along Interstate 72, which I did last week, there are huge blue signs at every exit labeled “Attractions.” Every one of them between Springfield and Decatur is totally blank, as the federal govt. does not consider “corn and soybeans” attractions, for some reason. Why no fuming from Baby Aaron about these signs? They must have cost three times more than the signs giving President Obama some credit for those new infrastructure projects…
No jobs created? Does he think magic pixies make those signs?
i actually saw representative schock outside his office in springfield today. i was on my morning stroll. dude is tiny. petite. like “tom cruise” tiny. he was wearing some tight-ass dress pants, too. i wish this post had been up before then. i would have loved to get his take on it.
[re=612995]Prommie[/re]: Inside, they make license plates. It was the DOT in CA that made signs.
Those signs would have cost over 10K during the Bush administration, not including the kickback. Not they are $49.99.
[re=612934]nappyduggs[/re]: Did the govt. put up a sign?
The underlying premise is terrifying.
Does anyone really want the American general public writing the budget? Congress is quite capable of fucking budgets and monies spent up, but they are amateurs compared to Joe Six-Pack’s ability to plan for the future.
“Let’s cut Road Signs and traffic lights, fuck it, who needs traffic flow controlled, waste of my damn money. Don’t you touch my vast and impotent military empire though, I need that to do something to them brown people over there what worships a book.”
It’s true that the American government needs to get it’s shit in line with regards to expendatures at some point, but I don’t ask my alcoholic friends to give me a hand in sobering up for a court date and that’s still a better idea then letting random folks decide which programs to cut.
[re=612961]freakishlystrong[/re]: there is no real argument to be made . schock is liar . he can stick one of those signs up his asshole and twirl on it ………..
[re=613131]obfuscator[/re]: possibly lindsey graham tiny . w a dash of blanche dubois ? blech
The titties dangling over his forehead do nothing!
Schock’s still queerer than a three dollar bill.
(Perez Hilton & Matt Drudge need to unleash the video I’m sure they have of Aaron seeing one up-close.)
