It’s getting crowded under that bus.

What, pray tell, do the Obamas know about dignity?

[Viking2002]

They sound like a bunch of gaddamned Klingons.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Crawdad]

Whiter shade of pale.

“retire with dignity”
(Applied to Chuck! I can feel my hernia kevlar-netting ripping!)

Retire/Get Drunk with Dignity
by Tim Cavanaugh

When you’ve had too much to drink
there’s certain things to keep in mind.
Like when you find your hand and underarms are bleeding
your beer bottle might not have a twist off cap
and don’t ever go home with a woman they call Moose
or Vince
And never bet that you can fit your head inside a glove compartment

Get drunk with dignity
Keep in mind that just because a bulldog licks your face
its not necessary to lick him back
Stay away from drinks with names like
brain seizure or hippo laxative
Get drunk with dignity

If a bar has human ears nailed ot the walls
don’t pass out there
and if your homemade jello has some goldfish in it
you used the wrong bowl
And there are phrases you must learn to avoid
phrases like
“that badge looks stupid”
and
“I can prove these shoes are fireproof”

Get drunk with dignity
try not to drool on bikers
Don’t moon a nun
unless you got a real good reason
dont get romantically involved with farm machinery
Get drunk with dignity.

I remember that. He basically said Bush was a jerk but he was our jerk and it was up to us to call him the devil. I didn’t think it was much of a defense at the time but I guess it was the best the old geezer could do.

[livius]

My first question is “Who is the Marxist Obama has in mind to fill the seat?”

No doubt. Rangel has obviously ceased to be of any use to The Won.

[ColdOne]

Obama has absolutely nothing to lose here, and everything to gain. He can come out looking "principled", which is EXACTLY how it will be spun - Barack OBama standing up to corruption in his own party, yada, yada, yada.... I guess he is voting "present" again...?

Maxine Waters is about to get her hand slapped by the House ethics committee. Is obamma going to see her resignation too?

“Obama: Time for Rangel to end career “with dignity”

What?? How about ending it with a roomie named Bubba at the local federal prison for tax evasion??

That’s what would happen to any of us.

[Bigg Red]

Who ever it is doesn’t get to be chairman of anything, and doesn’t have any seniority.

&&&
That’s according to the old rules, silly. I’m sure Benito Obama has a different set of rules that will be followed for his Harlem guy.

[La Lydia]

Please. The House and Senate are very jealous of the way they operate. BO and the executive branch don’t have a word to say about the rules.

[ViLaLuz]

The racist white half of Obama has spoken.

[rbg81]

I want to hear Obama say that Rangel “acted stupidly” and then, when he resigns, blame it on the “racists” at Fox News.

[DryFly]

Reminds me of this scene:

Tom Hagen: When a plot against the Emperor failed... the plotters were always given a chance... to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?

Frank Pentangeli: Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the Emperors. Unless they went home and killed themselves, then nothing happened. And the families... the families were taken care of.

Tom Hagen: That was a good break. A nice deal.

Frank Pentangeli: Yeah... They went home... and sat in a hot bath... opened up their veins... and bled to death... and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

[b4its2late]

Rangel will be well compensated.

Supreme Court?

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!
