Constitutional Shmonstitutional

Senator and looney legal scholar Rand Paul (R-KY) says that Obamacare is still unconstitutional, adding “Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so.”

He may have a point. It’s also this kind of insightful reasoning that proves:

  • The world is still flat.
  • Wrestling is still real.
  • Sarah Palin has read a book.
  • There is an issue on which Mitt has one position.

Slow and dimwitted continues to pursue Fast and Furious

darrell Issa

Darrell Issa is predicting a bipartisan contempt vote against Holder this week. Finally, a politician who can unite the right-wing fanatics, the ultraconservative fanatics, and the tea party extremists.

“1-2-3 Who are we consulting for?”

There’s no evidence that Mitt Romney participated in 1960’s counter culture or protests of any kind, political or otherwise. It’s a shame. Every young person needs to rebel now and then. Here are some protest songs that would’ve allowed Mitt Romney to express his inner Abbie Hoffman:

  • If I Had a Hammer I’d Hammer Up An Eviction Notice
  • This Land is My Land, This Land is My Land
  • Abraham, Martin, John, Goldman, and Sachs
  • Say It Loud – My Ledger is in the Black and I’m Proud
  • Where Have All the Tax Shelters Gone
  • Give Peace a Chance (and if That Doesn’t Work Call My Attorney)
  • Born in the USA (but Currently Residing in the Cayman Islands)
  • We Shall Overcome (But We Shall Never Overpay)
  • Currencies They Are Ex-Changin’

What a difference an improving economy makes

President Obama must feel like the woman who’s lost 25 pounds and finds herself being courted by guys who previously didn’t want to be seen with her. It’s amazing how attractive he looks to Democratic politicians after shedding a few unemployment percentage points.

Senator FightingToGetReElected: Hi Mr. President. Remember me? I’d be honored if you accompanied me to a fundraiser in my district. Yes, I did tell you after the 2010 elections that we couldn’t be seen together, but you know how I like to kid.

President Obama: Oh Senator, I’d love to attend your fundraiser. Who knows what wild things I might do if you endorse my Health Plan.

Senator FightingToGetReElected: I can’t believe I never noticed your hot employment figures.

Our man in Belmont

Oh wow! Mitt Romney, a man who may be our next president, voted in the Massachusetts Primary at the Beech St Center, right near where I live in Belmont. Of course, this is only one of his home towns. But it was here, half way through his one and only term as governor, Romney decided to run (the first time) for president and spend the rest of his career deriding liberal Massachusetts. Can he really win? I’ll tell you when I see my first “Romney for President” sign in Belmont.

Hi, my name is Mitt, what’s your sign?

Mitt Romney described himself as a “severely conservative Republican governor.” In dating terms, he’ll say anything to get politically laid. I didn’t vote for him when he ran of governor of Massachusetts, but his one term in office still left me feeling cheap and used.

If looks could get you elected

Aside from former Sears Catalog menswear models, who relates to Mitt Romney? He may win his party’s presidential nomination, but where will only good looks, a multitude of positions, and spray-on charisma get you – besides a guest appearance on “Mad Men”?

Wanted: Herman Cain supporters, No heavy thinking required

You’re a Republican presidential candidate. What can you say to win over Herman Cain supporters? Here are some suggestions:

  • My economic plan spelled backwards is “999.”
  • I just flew in from Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan and boy are my arms tired!
  • I’ll only say this once: I’ve never gotten jiggy with Kay Bailey Hutchison.

The Chosen are tying to get choosier


Israel’s right-wing government is warning – well, tried to warn — its citizens not to marry Jewish Americans because it will cause them to “lose their national identities.” This is not good news if you’re looking forward to shopping for an engagement ring at Tiffany’s with your hot little Mossad agent. (Believe me, it’s not the same with a CIA analyst who keeps kosher.) Still, it’s important to keep the race clean. (Where have I heard that before?) The last thing Israel needs is another no-goodnick liberal immigrant like Milwaukee’s own (seriously) Golda Meir.

To know Barney Frank is to love, hate, and be unaware of him


Barney Frank calls it quits and the Internet comments once again fall into three categories:

  • Fox News: “if all the q u e e r s stepped down there wouldnt be a democrat party…including obama”
  • Daily Kos: “Good old Barney Frank! He’s like the fave uncle”
  • Yahoo Sports: “Fire Andy Reid!!!”

Political Shorts – 11/19/11

Speaking about President Obama, Rick Perry said, “It reveals to me that he grew up in a privileged way” – in a family that could afford coherent thoughts.

UN bashing is popular among Republican candidates. Why? UN are 2 letters easy to remember

Everyone is starting to go after Newt Gingrich. It looks like Ron Paul is up next.

Talking about the sexual harassment charges against him, Herman Cain said, “As far as I’m concerned, there’s no new information, no new documentation, no new nothing” – aside form a bevy of women still having Herman Cain nightmares.

Herman Cain asked a crowd, “Who knows every detail of every country of every situation on the planet? He then thanked his New Hampshire audience for making his stay in Delaware such a pleasure.

After his last disaster trying to answer a foreign policy question, Herman Cain cancelled an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader. Apparently, he needed more time to prepare for his Q&A with the My Weekly Reader editorial board.

A Rabbi, a Minister, and a Muslim Go Into a bar

The Early Show profiled three religious leaders and standup comedians: Mr. Loco’s cousin Rabbi Bob Alper, Pastor Susan Sparks, and Azhar Usman. The three-person comedy team finds spiritual power in humor.

Dinner with the Cains

Gloria: Great foreign policy interview. Herman Cain really nailed it on Libya.

Herman: Thank you. Great dinner. Gloria Cain sure knows how to cook a pot roast.

Gloria: Thank you. It’s Gloria Cain’s pleasure to please Herman Cain.

Herman: That’s what Herman Cain likes to hear.

Gloria: By the way, Gloria Cain watched Gloria Allred’s latest press conference, and Gloria Cain can’t believe what they were saying about Herman Cain.

Herman: Herman Cain can’t believe it either. If there’s one thing Gloria Cain should know, Herman Cain is her main man and he’d never treat another woman like that.

Gloria: You don’t have to tell that to Gloria Cain. She knows Herman Cain better than that. By the way, Gloria Cain found another pair of woman’s underwear in Herman Cain’s sport coat. They’re not Gloria Cain’s size so Gloria Cain assumes Herman Cain volunteered to do some poor woman’s laundry.

Herman: That’s Herman Cain’s girl.

Mitt’s girls

There are many reasons why Mitt Romney is polling better with women. Among them:

  1. He’s not Herman Cain
  2. Ask any Stepford Wife. There’s something about a man who hasn’t aged in 64 years.
  3. He’s not Herman Cain
  4. When it comes to reproductive rights, Mitt has a position for everyone.
  5. He’s not Herman Cain

Bay State Bombast – 11/5/11


Cardinal Bernard Law is celebrating his 80th birthday at the Vatican. If you haven’t bought a gift you can’t go wrong with a recording of “Where the Boys Are.”

Sen. Scott Brown has a new Internet ad that defends his environmental record. It’s called “Trees Are People Too.”

Chelsea Housing director Michael E. McLaughlin was forced to resign after it was revealed he was making $360,000 a year, making him the highest paid non-drug-cartel employee in Chelsea.

It’s been reported that former House speaker Sal DiMasi will be serving his eight-year prison sentence for political corruption in Lexington, Kentucky. He should fit right in. Kentucky is just like Boston’s North End — only with fewer teeth.

NStar president Tom May, who people are blaming for the post-storm extended power outages, makes $7.9 million per year. That comes to about 1 penny per “you rich SOB!”
