Mocking Birds

Posted on 02/23/2009 at 1:31 pm by Bob Cesca

Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan were caught red-handed repeating a Republican lie. And when they’re caught, they laugh it off like it really isn’t such a big deal — Scarborough wraps by quoting the “maybe there’s a chance” line from Dumb & Dumber.

Dumb and dumber, indeed.

    Bob,I’m glad you put that up! I’d just seen it over at Paddy’s place and it’s just ………… well, I don’t know how to describe it!When caught propagating a lie, either continue to twist the truth or laugh like an effing moron!

    Exactly, Kansas. “Yeah but it might help this mouse, right? It might?”And a special shout-out to Mike Pence of Indian for once again slipping in the the phrases “Democrat Majorities” and “Democrat President”.Bravo, sir! Bravo!

    Let’s not forget either, that they had hit the air to complain about this mouse getting millions in the stimulus without first reading the stimulus. A friend of some guys cousin who dated that chick who babysat the neighbor’s kid of some aide that works for a congressman told him that, yeah, totally there is money there for a mouse. And oh yeah, his brother, the guy that went to Washington that time and rode in a cab that passes by the Starbucks that CIA Director Tennet’s son’s cousin’s girlfriend (that’s just a beard – he’s totally gay) works at also told him that, yeah, waterboarding works too. Bank on it.If that had actually been true, we would have been subjected to graphic after graphic of pages of the bill showing us the wording. For that crowd, absence of evidence is license to just make it all up.

    It’s the same as always… They get the GOP talking points and just keep repeating them. I think they must keep the fax maching working between Joe’s house and Faux news every morning early so he knows what to say.

    I love Steve Benen. And I miss Carpetbagger.And GOD FORBID we protect wetlands, so as to avoid another Katrina-level disaster.Fucktards. Mice, for fuck sake. MICE. No, WETLANDS. (And JOBS, by the way.)

    But there isn’t any language in the bill that prevents them from spending money on the mouse, right? So those rodent hugging California dems probably will save the little rat with our money!!

    The great “Marsh Mice Lie”™.The propagandists, their shills, and their rubes really love this one. It has that added spice that it is Nancy Pelosi’s communist plot to give all of our vacation and Klan dues funds to a bunch of rodents.I almost feel sorry for the ill-informed fascists.Bob – One of my replies to a nitwit that insisted that we were funding marsh mice on the “The Far-Right War On Someting” thread is stuck in SPAM limbo. I tried to give him multiple URIs to get the HR1 pdf from.

    bob, I’d be interested to hear your outlook on this.

  • jane

    Feo, I just read Steve Benen’s take on this too. So either we get rid of the filibuster or make them ask for a quorum and show the “Quorum Call” logo and the blue carpet for hours on C-SPAN. Either way, there has to be a better alternative to the recent strategy of just giving in.

    fe, thanks for the link- i’m also a curious to hear Bob’s take. Does this mean obstructing conservatives wouldn’t have to strap on the Depends after all?

    It must be nice to just make-up shit.Keep a sharp lookout.Thanks again Bob, when I watched Morning Joe I didn’t know the real facts.When those two douchenozzles were caught lying, smirking and chortling was their response.I just sat there.*speechless*
