“[If the Boy Scouts don't maintain their anti-gay policy] then what do we stand for as a country?”

–Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-MS)

Palazoo is such a schmuck, he’ll probably get his dick caught in the zipper of his body bag. Only guessing, of course.

“All of us are fallible, we make mistakes, we say things the wrong way. I’ve relived that moment many, many times.”

–Todd Akin on his infamous legitimate rape comment.

The quote bothers me because of the we say things the wrong way clause. So… what was the right way to say what you meant, Todd?

The Afternoon Quote – Gohmert Style

“And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten [bullets in a round], then why would you draw the line at ten? What’s wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it’s kind of like marriage when you say it’s not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal? “

–Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) explaining how gun control leads to gay marriage and beastiality.

The Evening Quote

Posted by Tengrain Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that.”

–Roger Ailes, Fox News’ gelatinous news chief responding to Hilary Rosen’s comment that Ann Romney, mother of five, had never worked a day in her life.

So, let’s summarize, shall we? The President is:

  • A lazy black man
  • living off the taxpayers’ dime
  • playing basketball.

The Afternoon Quote

Posted by Tengrain Friday, March 1st, 2013

Being from New York we’re not supposed to be suckers. It’s bad enough that [Marco Rubio and others] voted against [Hurricane Sandy Relief], that’s inexcusable enough. But to have the balls to come in and say, ‘We screwed you, now make us president?’”

–Rep. Peter King upon learning that Rubio is fundraising in NYC with the banksters.

“Is it the government’s submission that citizens in the South are more racist than citizens not in the South?”

–SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts on the Voting Rights Act.

No, not everyone in the South is racist, that’s silly. However to need to ask if there is a problem with racism in The Confederacy is absurd.

“After watching Barack and Hillary billing-and-cooing for 30 minutes, I suspect that by the time he got home, Michelle was waiting with a rolling pin and a ton of attitude, wanting to know where he got off cozying up to that honky b–ch.”

“I haven’t forgotten about Benghazi. Hillary Clinton got away with murder, in my view.”

–Senatorette Miss Huckleberry Closetcase

The ghost of Vince Foster seeks his revenge!

Huckleberry is going to be primaried. He’s acting all butch and macho for his base of mouth-breathing paste-eaters, but notice that Kerry got his confirmation vote.

UPDATE:

“The one thing I’m not going to do is vote on a new secretary of Defense until the old secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, who I like very much, testifies about what happened in Benghazi.”

Lindsey Graham: You butch thing!

Posted by Tengrain Sunday, December 30th, 2012

I’m not going to raise the debt ceiling unless we get serious about keeping the country from becoming Greece, saving Social Security and Medicare [sic]. So here’s what i would like: meaningful entitlement reform — not to turn Social Security into private accounts, not to take a voucher approach to Medicare — but, adjust the age for Social Security, CPI changes and means testing and look beyond the ten-year window. I cannot in good conscience raise the debt ceiling without addressing the long term debt problems of this country and I will not.

Or the shorter version of Senatorette Huckleberry Closetcase: “As God is mah witness, Ah’ll never get primaried again.”

In Megan McArdle’s Own Words

Posted by Tengrain Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

Newsweek’s own Libertarian, Megan McArdle, brilliant strategist that she is, has the WWI tactical solution for when you find yourself in a gun battle:

“I’d also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once. Would it work? Would people do it? I have no idea; all I can say is that both these things would be more effective than banning rifles with pistol grips.”

Ever see the movie Galipoli, Megan?

Jeebus, some people.

“Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones. The only thing accomplished by gun free zones is to insure that mass murderers can slay more before they are finally confronted by someone with a gun.”

–Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America
