Alan Simpson will speak today at George H. Bushs tribute. His speech will be likely heart felt and perhaps sometimes light-hearted.
Here are some of his funnier lines from the past.
_____________
I watch Republicans, they give each other the saliva test of purity, and then they lose and they bitch for four years. On the need for a socially tolerant, big tent Republican Party, in a Feb. 2012 interview with CBSs Bob Schieffer.
[Social Security is] a milk cow with 310 million tits. in an August 2010 email, which he later apologized for. If this had happened to anybody else in America, it would have been like a sparrow belch in a typhoon. Defending his friend, Vice President Dick Cheney in 2006, after Cheney shot a hunting companion in the face while hunting quail. Accused the White House press corps of doing a sadistic little disservice to your country for asking President Ronald Reagan questions about Iran in March 1987 for the sake of sticking it in his bazoo Thats a bunch of crap.
Telling the truth is the essence of leadership. If you have integrity, nothing else matters. And if you dont have integrity, nothing else matters. It would be good when the vice president remembers that. Slamming Vice President Al Gore on the campaign trail, Oct. 2000
Weve got only one thing to say: Klaatu barada nikto. Simpson spokesman Charles Pelkey, using the alien phrase from The Day the Earth Stood Still, in a 1994 Associated Press story where they played along with a tabloid report that said Simpson was one of 12 U.S. senators who were space aliens.
Hes a million rubber bands in his resilience - On Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, in Feb. 1985.
They were very funny at times, but nearly ALWAYS courageous.
Bless them ........
Alan Simpson, of Simpson-Mazzoli, the 1986 amnesty that was supposed to have made another amnesty unnecessary, but in reality was written to make another amnesty inevitable as it was written to make it almost impossible to enforce.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) was necessary to get to that New World Order.
Simpson is speaking next to speak.
I assumed he was dead.
Not watching.
I’m mourning for my country.
That these people destroyed.
Supposedly, Simpson would have been the VP nominee had he not been such a big booster of abortion.
Why aren’t you lining up with the moonbats to move to Canada, or Sweden, or wherever?
I’m really tired of this “they’ve destroyed my country” crap. Have they thrown sand in the gears? Yep. But American remains the last best hope, and I wouldn’t pick it over any other place in the world. So buck up buttercup.
Seeing Trump next to the three previous and living perps of our demise reminded me of how delicate a balance we live in between our shores... and how out of control this country has become.. and who done it.
Do you really believe we are going to build a wall and remove 30 million fraudulently documented foreigners?
That’s the only way we get to keep the rule of law and our country.
There is no where else to go.
America was the last best hope.
Our betters decided to make it into North Mexico.
The last four Presidents have been disastrous for the country.
If we had elected Trump in 1988 we may have had a chance.
Im mourning for my country. That these people destroyed.

I understand. This sh*t is hard to watch. (Obama with his chin up in the air, Moochelle, Bill The Schlickmeister -- mouth breathing because his nose has been reconstructed a half dozen times, and The Park Ridge Hildabeast, trying to look like a human being. The hypocrisy is puke-worthy. (My wife has it on the tv at the other end of the room.)
**********
Zapata Oil, Zapata Off-Shore Company etc.?
He was very funny.
Glad its not just mean. The unbridled fellatio going on, even from Stuart Varney. He posited that 41 was the most successful one-term POTUS in history.
He’s a Brit, so of course Polk, who WALKED AWAY after one term, did more than almost all Presidents, ever.
Et tu Varney?
I went to work early rather than watch. Horrible.

Well said.
By the way, I think I remember talking with you on threads about the horse Barbaro years ago ..... who shattered his leg in the 2006 Preakness Stakes. Were you interested in that story back then?
That was so awful.
____________
Wise move. I needed a puke bucket ....... Mooch, Zero, Billy Blow, and The Hildabeast were on the screen so often.
Still dont know who Simpson was shilling for.
The Cheap Labor Express.
He once observed that Republicans are a party that likes to eat its own young - but I observed that he had a pretty voracious appetite for other Republicans himself.....
______________
Yes. The first Simpson quote of my thread is somewhat similar:
I watch Republicans, they give each other the saliva test of purity, and then they lose and they bitch for four years.
