| Political Musings From The Left |
Just when you thought it was safe to venture out into
the world of thinking Americans again, the crap hits the
fan. After eight freak'in years of George Bush, even I
can't believe the garbage spewing out of Americans
today; The Birthers, the Deathers, People proclaiming
Obama is a Communist, a Socialist and a Nazi - even
though they have no clue as to the origin or meaning
of these terms. They are home grown American idiots
and they have leaders. We want to honor them and
any other irritating characters in our very own Ass
Clown Hall of Fame. I expect this list will grow
exponentially throughout the year. Some will come
and some will go but some will stay forever. We will
be an equal opportunity listing. I really don't care
what the party is, ass clowns are ass clowns period.

1) Glenn Beck – Padded Cell for One Stat!
At first glance, most people would think this guy is
crazy. Not true. This guy is Nuckin Futs! He has
found a gimmick that sells on the Fixed News
Channel. His shtick works by sucking what little
brains still exist on the fringe right and he’s very
good at it. He has no concept of history, historical
accuracy or political ideology. He is a noxious gas
bag who talks through his ass. He is the poster
boy for all the baby boomers who have spent a
lifetime throwing tantrums to get their way and
right now, they want an election do-over. These
are the same baby boomers that don’t read
newspapers, only watch the fixed news channel
and look back longingly to their youth – which is
never coming back. Glenn Beck is the most
perfect reason every voting age person should
remain politically focused and active - if you want
the Glenn Beck's of the world to go away.
2) Rush Limbaugh – Permanent Ass Clown
This fat ass has been filling the airwaves for over
20 years. He is living proof that this type of talking
head never shuts up – they just grow meaner and
filled with more hate while they pollute others into
thinking like them. What is sad is that the main
stream media pays the least bit of attention to any
thing he has to say, or that anyone in the GOP is
scared to death to cross him. He is nothing more
than a blow hard talking through his ass. But
hey, at least he can claim he set the standard.
3) The Tea Party Movement (A.K.A. Teabaggers)
These people really take the cake. They are what
I like to call, whiny titty-baby boomers who didn’t
like the election results and figure if they stomp
their feet, scream and shout they’ll get an election
do-over. Of course they have to dress up like
revolutionary soldiers (circa 1776) while wearing
hats of hanging tea bags. News flash – you look
as ridiculous as you did in the 60’s. If you can
afford to waste tea bags, you’re not that poor. If
you want people to take you seriously, lose the
racist signs and try reading some news, history
and political ideology. You have no idea what
you’re screaming about or against. You are what
is wrong with America – namely Stupidity. Only
stupidity can drive the unfounded belief in the
‘Birther’ debate, health care ‘death panels’,
FEMA ‘concentration camps’ and any other
bat-shit conspiracy you can dream up.
4) Sarah Palin - Queen of Cutey-Pie Politics
What can one say about Sister Sarah? She is an
idiot, but a clever idiot. She has been able to soar
politically by being cute and for some, sexy. It’s
like her parents told her years ago, “Now honey,
remember, boys don’t like smart girls, or girls that
like to win.” Sarah truly believes that her sly
cuteness and folksy charm is all that she needs
to win politically. She could be smart and well
informed, but why bother when her shtick is
working so well. For some Americans, who are
walking idiots – that’s enough. But thankfully,
most of us like our leaders smarter than the
average bear.
5) Fox News Network - One Sided News Feed
Instead of singling out any one asinine host or
commentator on Fox (i.e. O'Reilly, Hannity,
Ingrams, Rove etc.) I’ll just go for the network
responsible for this type of trash-journalism. It
takes balls to tout your news network as fair and
balanced. If he had a conscience, Murdoch should
hang his head in shame. But to do that he would
have to have a soul and he sold that off for the
almighty dollar long ago. Just because Fox draws
big ratings doesn’t mean it has quality programs.
It just means that most of its viewers are morons
who don’t read and have no concept of the word
‘objective’.
6) Joe Lieberman - A man of the Joe
If anyone sunk Al Gore chances in 2000, it was
Joe – the most boring man alive. With all his
backstabbing antics, why any Democrat still likes
this guy is beyond me. Since that time, Joe has
proven beyond all doubt that the only person that
matters to Joe is Joe. Not his party, or his country.
If the Democratic leadership had any balls – they
would strip this man of his committee chairman-
ships, but no – they’re still kissing his butt.
Connecticut – Please, I beg you, replace this
guy with a real democrat in the next election.
7) Michelle Bachman – Padded Cell for One
Excuse me but this woman is certifiable. She is
bat-shit crazy and so is anyone who voted for her
in Minnesota. Every time she opens her mouth, a
new kind of crazy spews forth. If nothing else,
she’s becoming more entertaining with every
passing news cycle. She is a perfect poster child
for the Party of No. Please Michelle, stop taking
your medication altogether. Maybe you’ll strip
naked and run around the Capital in the snow
proving to everyone that you are looney tunes.
8) John McCain - Not So Mavericky Anymore
McCain will be on my list forever just for making
Sarah Palin his running mate. McCain is a man that
at one time I respected. He seemed genuine. But
now we find out that he sold his ethical soul cheap
by picking a candidate his staff never properly
vetted. Since the election, he has continued to say
one thing while doing another. And the worst thing
is, he doesn’t have the balls to stand up for what
he believes in anymore within his own party. He
just toes the party line. Whatever ethics you had
John, they're gone now.
9) The GOP - Grand Old Pretenders
Ahhhhh, the Party of No. The party of hate and
discourse. The party that wraps itself in old
glory while pissing all over its principles. To hear
them talk, they were never in control of Congress
for 12 years. They never spent this nation into
massive debt under Bush (i.e. the Bush tax
cuts for the rich, Medicare Part D prescription
drug plan, two wars – not paid for or ever included
in their budgets and if that isn’t enough, tons of
pork for every state). Now, they are the party that
won’t lift a finger to work with Dems to fix what is
broken. It’s all about them being responsible - now
If that isn’t enough, now the Party of No is trying to
use the threat of terrorism to scare Americans into
voting for them again. Has The GOP no shame, or
love of country that they would stoop this low for
their own political gain?
10) Dick Cheney – It's The Talking Dick . . Again
For nearly eight years, big Dick Cheney was
silent and covert while living on the ‘dark side’.
Since leaving office this ass-wipe now has an
opinion about everything and suffers from
collective amnesia and perpetual diarrhea of the
mouth. Hey Dick, FYI – your not in charge any
more and no one cares about your deranged
opinion on national security. So crawl back into
your hole and take that damn daughter of yours
with ya.
11) The George Bush – “Miss me yet?” Billboard
Are you Freakin kiddin me? What moron put up
the money for this horseshit sign in Minnesota?
Here’s my answer – Not in a million freakin
years! Is everyone in Minnesota bat-shit crazy?
12) The Democratic Party - Got Testicles?
I must admit, I am ashamed to be a member of
this party. The party of Roosevelt and Kennedy
has been reduced to a rock of Jell-O. Here’s the
party that cannot lead, even with a super majority.
They would make LBJ cringe. Lord knows they
make me cringe. It is time for Harry Reid to step
down. I want a majority leader who has a pulse,
and a set testicles would be nice too.
13) Raim Emmanuel - Poster Boy for Jackass
Emmanuel is living proof that even Dems have
a jackass in a position of power. He is a typical
Chicago thug politician who has utter contempt
for the very people who waged the grassroots
campaign to get the President elected. I resent
the fact that Emmanuel had the audacity to refer
to liberals and “F-ing retards.” He is the poster
child for the arrogance that permeates the
Obama administration. Wise words to remember
Mr. Emmanuel, “Don’t shit where you eat.” You
may need those liberals sometime in the near
future.
14) The Media - Get a Grip
You guys need to get a life. We have gone from
the 2008 election directly into the 2010 election
and now all you talk about is the 2012 election.
This president has only been in office one
freakin year. You continue to insist that every
morsel of stupidity offered by Rush Limbaugh,
or Glenn Beck is somehow significant and you
have single handedly given credence to the Tea
Bagger movement as a force to be reckoned with
– which I sincerely doubt is true. There are a lot
of political subjects that you could be covering
that will never see the light of day. Try expanding
you horizons to include more than one story to
endlessly beat to death each day.
15) Tom Tancredo - Reveals the GOP Truth
Tom lost his mind along time ago, but he hasn’t
lost his racist hateful soul. His speech at the tea
bagger convention earlier this month speaks
volumes of what is wrong with the GOP and the
Teabagger movement. They love Tom and his
racist ways.
16) James O’Keefe – Acorn Video Scam Artist
Is it too much to hope this little prick goes to jail
after his break-in attempt at Senator Landrieu’s
federal office? Why any media gave this ass-wipe
a platform for his Acorn video is beyond me. He
no more looks like a pimp than I do. But he sure
do have a pretty mouth don’t he? Poetic justice if
convicted, he does his time in the great state of
Louisiana.
At first glance, most people would think this guy is
crazy. Not true. This guy is Nuckin Futs! He has
found a gimmick that sells on the Fixed News
Channel. His shtick works by sucking what little
brains still exist on the fringe right and he’s very

| The Importance of Staying Politically Engaged. |
I know how disheartening it is for younger
voters to view the current political reality. It’s
tough when all your efforts to get Obama
elected seem to fade into the current status
quo. We are still engaged in two wars, the
economy is still in the toilet and healthcare
reform remains an unlikely dream. Clutching
the idea of bipartisanship has given way to
the political reality – legislative gird-lock. But
I beg you to take heart and stay politically
engaged. As the saying goes; History is made
by those who show up. If you give up now, than
in November the minority (A.K.A. Teabaggers)
will win in the only poll that counts – the voting
booth. You must stay politically engaged. You
have to show up. The other side is banking
that you won’t. It’s you country and your future.
Be sure to Vote.
