Scraping the bottom of the barrel

  Seems like how low can you go not only applies to Limbo. It is amazing what some networks will resort to out of pure desperation.  The talent pool must consist of the remaining reptiles left in Pelosi's ongoing swamp drainage program.

Lets see... CNN had Sleazebag Spitzer until he was cancelled.

Before that Olbermann bit the dust on MSNBC.

I thought for sure Weiner was going to have a show on texting etiquette.

Followed by The Casey Anthony Show on child rearing.

When CBS's 60 Minutes did a puff piece about Al Sharpton in May, Lesley Stahl revealed the Reverend refuses to say anything bad about President Obama.

On Sunday's "Reliable Sources," former MSNBC contributor Cenk Uygur claimed he might have been replaced by Sharpton in the 6PM time slot because of the "Reverend's" undying devotion to the current White House resident.

How did this all come about? Because the White House did not like the "tone" of Cenk Uygur.

One thing about Uncle Al he is gen-u-wine

There's actually two stories here. One is the over reaching power of this presidency. And the other is all about hypocrisy.

The real world

☟

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has vowed to clean up his fiscal house, has a new tax lien to pay.

Sharpton owes $359,973 to the IRS for 2009 personal income tax, according to documents on file with the city.

Public records show he owes a total of $3.7 million in city, state and federal taxes, including penalties, dating to 2002. But Sharpton's spokeswoman, Rachel Noerdlinger, said that he had paid back "well over seven figures" as part of agreements with the state and IRS and that the liens remained on the books as "a matter of bureaucracy."

Sharpton made $250,000 as head of the nonprofit National Action Network in 2009, a year that ended with the group owing $1.1 million in taxes and having just $36,397 cash on hand.

The organization also pays for first-class or charter travel for Sharpton and other NAN staff, according to its 2009 tax return. Noerdlinger declined to say for whom.

 Luckily he didn't pay his taxes so he should fit right in the Obama administration.

Through the annals of time I cannot think of a more inferior waste of skin then Al Sharpton.

Must be a "swamp tiger"

Pelosi calls for ethics investigation of Rep. David Wu

 Pelosi has gotten so good at draining the swamp she has become an honorary member of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

Nice outfit

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (N.Y.) issued statements Sunday night calling for the House ethics committee to look into the conduct of Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.).

"I call on the Ethics Committee to initiate an investigation into the allegations against Congressman Wu," Pelosi said in the statement. "With deep disappointment and sadness about this situation, I hope that the Ethics Committee will take up this matter."

Wu is alleged to have had a sexual encounter with a woman against her will in late 2010, an episode first reported by the Portland Oregonian. The newspaper reported that Wu has acknowledged the encounter but insisted it was consensual.

One Democratic source said that Wu has decided not to seek reelection in 2012 and the Oregonian and Politico are reporting that he will not. But the congressman's office did not return an e-mail seeking comment Sunday night regarding his plans. He is not expected to resign.

Wu has said nothing specific about the incident with the woman, issuing a statement Saturday calling it "very serious" and adding: "I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention, or stress to a young woman and her family."

This is the latest allegation of bizarre behavior by Wu at the end of last year — actions that include sending odd pictures to his staff and taking prescribed medication that had not been prescribed to him.

He has already drawn primary challenges from two Democrats — state Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian and state Rep. Brad Witt. Republicans hope to target the Democratic-leaning seat in the Portland area, but are likely to do so only if Wu is in the race.

Easy come easy go

After almost one trillion dollars spent in stimulus he had this to say:

Why can't Americans see they've been had? After almost a trillion dollars wasted he has the balls to act cavalier, laughing about it like he dropped 20 bucks in a Vegas slot machine.

To make matters worse the idiots surrounding him  in this video seem to be caught up in the merriment!

I have come to the conclusion perhaps this country deserves what it gets. Stupid people make stupid decisions. And Obama is certainly one of them.

The Exploitation of Shared Sacrifice

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

Marxism

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Sounds all warm and fuzzy like; doesn't it?

It's one of the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. It doesn't work.

Lets clarify shared sacrifice. 53% of all Americans pay income tax. The other 47% pay nothing. As an American citizen living in this country and benefiting from all it has to offer, shouldn't every American contribute something no matter how small? Suppose you make $10,000 a year. Shouldn't you pay at least 100 bucks... 50 bucks...something? Is that to much to ask? Obama keeps reiterating the phrase invest in America, which actually means collecting more money from the 53% so he can spend it on the 47% who contribute nothing.

 We are over 14 trillion in debt and 47% of Americans do nothing to help out. At  some point the 53% are going to get sick of carrying the other 47 on their backs. The... he ain't heavy he's my brother concept...is starting to wear pretty thin.

This should put an end to the debt ceiling debate once and for all

No mention of this from the MSM

On a tip from my brother Gary

-- Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising

America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve

better."


Isn't this exactly what Republicans have been saying all along?

Talk about a 180. For God's sake this is his own words! What do we need? A house to fall on us?

Folks this is not a BS story. Look it up. A prime example of following what he does, not what he says. Pure and simple he is a hypocrite and a liar. It is hard to believe he was elected president in 2008. It's absolutely mind blowing he took in 86 million in campaign contributions in the last three months! 

Has the country gone mad?

Facts are the enemy of lies.

I'm not asking you to pass judgement.  I am asking you to think.

I suppose an honest man shines more in politics then he does elsewhere, but shouldn't a senator keep his word or a president? 

Should't he set a high example? Is keeping one's word so extraordinary a thing, when the person achieving that feat is a person of a civilized nation?
