Who Pissed In My Oatmeal?
There have been some rumblings around here at Shrubville about attacks on lil' ol' sweetiepie grandmama Nancy Pelosi and the big ol' bad meanies because...I'm not sure of the exact reason. Is it because she's a woman? A grandmother? A Democrat? For fucksake, the woman is going to be in the third most important position in power, and she can't be criticized or attacked. Is it my fault that she's funny looking and her daughters can't keep their legs closed? Loard help us if Phyllis Schlafy runs for president, she'd be in like flynn.
Very well, then, I'll just criticize her for not voting in support of HR 4655 to establish a program to support a transition to democracy in Iraq - in 1998. Good vision there, Nan.
And then waiting until we done already gone all shock and awe to vote for HR 2601 in 2005 which "expresses the sense of Congress that early withdrawal from Iraq is counterproductive to the aims of the U.S. Armed Services, coalition forces and Iraqi forces, and that transfer of responsibilities and withdrawal from Iraq should occur when it is clear that goals have been, or are about to be, achieved." Way to be ahead of the pack.
If that isn't enough, this fine "leader" didn't even have the backbone to take a stand against HR 3162 - the Patriot Act. What bravura leadership. What would Cindy Sheehan think?
On a more recent note, how about that pie chart yesterday? That was some pie chart. We've got ourselves a little Ross Perot on our hands folks. He even calls my Thursday entries a "giant sucking sound." I play the part of Admiral Stockdale best as I can - you can often find me wandering the halls of Shrubville muttering "Who am I? Why am I here?"
Oh, about today's Prickly City - same ol' same ol'.

I may be more likely to shop at Wallaby Station than Rochester Big & Tall, but calling me a "little Ross Perot" is not quite accurate. I've got -- at minimum -- a couple inches on him.

Not to mention the fact that while he put the ED in EDS, you put the prick in prickly city, CJo.

Yeah, I can't understand why people would object to a man making fun of a woman's appearance and wanting to punch her in the face simply because she disagrees with his politics. It's a mystery.
Hey, did you see the Doonesbury where they had one of the characters making fun of Condi Rice's gap tooth smile and then punched her in the face? That was classic comedy.
Oh, wait, that never happened. Because most people think that's offensive and unfunny. But whatever.
And CJo is a whole lot bigger than Ross Perot in more ways than one. Except the ears.
