Zombie Congress

Clearly it's been too long since I checked in at the Weekly Standard. This is a great article...and I don't even recognize the name of the author: Dead-Congress Walking, by Noemie Emery.

I just worry it's like when the zombie eats the brain of the hero with his last gasp, then croaks. Sure, the zombie's dead...but he took the good guy down with him.

She (he?) concludes:

"Liberals say Democrats have to pass this bill to prove they can govern. But will the public see wasting a year on something that’s not a priority, then pushing a bill they don’t want through multiple payoffs, and ending up with something they think will make their lives worse as a species of “governing” they want anything more to do with? Meanwhile, the Democrats are in the intensive care unit, their president wounded, their members demoralized, their coalition in tatters. Come November, voters may decide they’d rather be much less “governed”—or governed by somebody else."

"...have to pass this bill to prove they can govern?"

You have to have mad cow disease for this to make any sense.

Reasonable Analogy

I DEMAND an Apology

Instead of having Joe Wilson apologize to the vipers in Congress....how about this:

Barney Frank apologizes for being almost completely responsible for the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which brought our economy down?

Charlie Rangle apologizes for hiding assets, being a tax cheat, laughing about it, and still being Chairman of Ways and Means.

Christopher Dodd, for his sweetheart mortgage...and every other corrupt thing he's done, the list of which is too long to reproduce here.

Edward Kennedy....oops too late. He'll NEVER apologize for changing the immigration policy of our country to give precedence to the ignorant, poor, unskilled, ill & uneducated from Third World countries, instead of educated, skilled and healthy from cultures that are compatible with our own; or spending billions of taxpayer money to increase the power and size of the Imperial State; and for having killed Mary Jo Kopechne. In my world, that's worse than shouting "You Lie" at a liar.

John Conyers apologizes for making jokes about not reading bills he plans to vote on which will become the law of the land - and put us further under the heel of Big Government.

Barack Øbama apologizes for calling cops "stupid", for accusing critics of "lying"; for demanding the passage of bills that will "transform" American from the vision of the Founders to that of Marx—against the will of the people; for being a Marxist; a liar; a fraud; a race hustler; for being arrogant, selfish, self-centered, narcissistic and corrupt; for being a "community organizer".

David Axelrod apologizes to every member of the Tea Party movement for his rude remarks and the dismissive comments.

Nancy Pelosi apologizes to Americans for calling them Nazis, and "astroturf" because they want to express themselves; and to the CIA for calling them liars and "torturers". (And for making us look at her weird face all these years.)

Dianne Feinstein apologizes for trying to outlaw guns for us...while having a concealed carry license for herself - because HER life is worth defending....but ours....not so much.

Barbara Boxer apologizing for being a stupid, whining ditz.

Van Jones apologizing for being a racist hater, and demeaning the "system" that is, by any measure, the best in the history of mankind, and seeking to destroy it and create a Third World Sewer in it's place.

Mark Holdren and Cass Sunstein apologizing for being clueless, heatless, inhuman Borg collectivists.

Mark Lloyd apologizing for being a blatant, self-identified enemy of the American Constitution, particularly the First Amendment.

We're just getting started...You wanna add to the list??

Enemy of the Imperial State

One More Thing...

Friday, August 14, we're heading into The City (around here, that means San Francisco), Nancy Pelosi's fiefdom, for a big protest, both against ObamaCare and Princess Pelosi her damn self.

She won't be there, 'cause she's not having any Townhall meetings. She's just hobnobbing with rich donors and other special interests at her mansion in The City and then the following day, at her vineyard in the Napa Valley.

I don't know if she's flying them all up in an Air Force jet...

I'll let you know how it goes.
