Good News, America: 14 Senators Don’t Have BB’s
Yesterday Americans for Prosperity joined U.S. Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, along with our friends at several other pro-taxpayer groups, for a Capitol Hill news conference spotlighting the shortcomings of the ethics, lobbying and earmark reform legislation Congress is considering this week. Sen. Coburn had the line of the day, and perhaps one of the best lines ever, when he pointed out that many Senators don’t have the, um, political courage to vote against a lackluster reform bill: “They have reproductive organs the size of B-Bs that won’t allow them to do the right thing.”
You know, if not for brave, self-less souls like Senators DeMint and Coburn (who, when they’re not trying to save Congress from it self, are two of the biggest Republican freak shows in Washington) to point out that no ethics reform is a damn sight better than ethics reform that cramps their style. Given that neither DeMint nor Coburn have ever ranked very high on the reasonableness scale, it’s difficult to take anything they say seriously, but even I have to admire Coburn for his willingness to question the size of his colleagues testicles…as if that has anything to do with anything.
Neither of these two DUMB@$$E$ have any doubt that a Republican majority in Congress and a Republican President in the White House is anything but a God-given right. After all, it’s common knowledge that God votes Republican, no? If there’s a problem, it’s with those damn Democrats who keep using ethics as a club with which they’re constantly trying to bludgeon Republicans and remove them from their rightful and God-ordained majority.
Hey, if God wanted Democrats to be the majority party, he’d have put Nancy Pelosi into a leadership position, right?
Uh…wait….
Ethics? We don’t need no stinkin’ ethics! We’re Republicans…and God’s on our side!
