Harry, you’re killing me. More one-liners than Henny Youngman. Where’s the rim shot?

In a gridlock, it’s always the other guys fault.

If only Nancy Pelosi was dictator...er...Speaker it would be different.

And it’s a good thing Harry doesn’t pull that dictator crap in the Senate.

Hey dingy hairy, the House is coming back to vote on the budget YOUR Senate passed for the next year - oh wait. Never mind. You haven’t had one in the last four years.

Harry ‘the undertaker’ is indeed an evil man. He is the epidome of the sneaky, sleazy, “you’d never guess whom he serves” style devil in flesh. I cannot even bring myself to ask “may God have mercy on his soul” because I believe him to be so thoroughly evil to his rotten, duplicitous, lying, arrogant core that God has already given him up.
