Dumbass Watch: Kay Bailey Hutchison Edition
Edited on Sun Nov-22-09 12:04 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
On Meet the Press Senator Hutchison disgorged the usual lies about how the Senate bill would end life on Earth, etc., and predicted that it would not pass the Senate.

David Gregory asked whether she was saying yesterday's successful Motion to Proceed vote was a Pyrrhic victory for the Dems.

She said she hopes not because it's such a bad bill.

Apparently Kay Baily Hutchison thinks "Pyhrric" means "awesome" or "decisive" or "meaningful"

Yet she is the class of the Texas Republican Party.

1. And She Comes Off As Winston Churchill......
....compared to her fellow Texas senator, John Cornyn.

It tempts me to feel ashamed of my native state---but then I think of what passes for senatorial material from the state of Oklahoma these days, and I don't feel so bad.......

2. Did you see her arguing with Debbie Wasserman Schultz about
what the House bill said re: mamograms? I'm surprised Debbie didn't haul off and punch her!

3. I musta pissed her off yesterday.....
....by sending her a scathing email. I told her how embarassing it was to have your state senator be so damned ignorant and be willing to lie through her teeth just to be partisan. I lambasted her on a few other things too, and told her it was time to hang it up. I was sorry to see her getting senile.

4. Anyone understand why she said.....
"If Geitner is fired then we ALL should be. We're all responsible for this, everyone in Congress, it's not just the treasury."

(She said it on Meet the Press ..... very odd.)

6. She's not running again so she can say that sort of thing
Retiring politicians are way into responsibility... for those who remain

5. LOL! What worthless fucking sack of shit unrec'd this?
Edited on Sun Nov-22-09 05:26 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Seriously.

This board is like one of those controversial 1960s psych experiments... lock some people in a room and watch them turn into mutant nazis.

The fact that people run around unrec'ing even the most innocuous posts by people they don't like is sad... but also hilarious.
