Alan Simpson: Social Security Is Like a "Milk Cow with 310 Million Tits!"
cbsnews ^ | August 25, 2010 | Stephanie Condon

Liberals and groups in favor of preserving Social Security are calling for the co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission to resign after he said in an e-mail that Social Security is "a milk cow with 310 million tits."

In a letter responding to criticisms against him from a group representing older women, former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson wrote that he has "spent many years in public life trying to stabilize" Social Security. However, he wrote, "Yes, I've made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know 'em too. It's the same with any system in America. We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits!...."

If you read the whole article, it tells you that later on, he apologized for saying this.

Dammit.

I judge a man by whom he offends. Looking at the list of people this guy offended, I’d have to say he must be Okay!

“...I judge a man by whom he offends...”

Hhmmmm, yes, that is “know them by their fruits” in politics. I like it.

Alan says what he thinks. Most of the time I disagree with him but there have been a few times when I say...”right on”...

“310 million”?????? Wait, I am not getting any Social Security benefits. Make that 309,999,999. I am only paying IN to the system. Someone else must be sucking on mine!

Yeah, its a good quote, but (at the end of the day) Simpson is just another politician.

I think this was terribly wrong to compare milk cows to social security. Couldn’t he have used elephants or whales or pelicans? We need hate-crime legislation to protect the milk cows of America from derogatory chatter like this.

Alan Simpson is also the guy who said, “There are two parties in America....the Evil Party and the Stupid Party and I’m a member of the Stupid Party.”

Simpson has always been a RINO idiot with diarrhea of the mouth. He's not a conservative but he played one in Congress. He's the bumbling Republican counterpart of Fortney "Pete" Stark.

It was vote-buying politicians like him who raped the Social Security "fund." They corrupted it by extending benefits to many who should not qualify for them. I paid into that fund from 12 years of age to retirement. If Simpson wants to cut "tit-suckers," he should start with his own lavish Congressional retirement perks.

In 2001, Simpson became Honorary Chairman of the Republican Unity Coalition (RUC), a gay/straight alliance within the Republican Party

He is a worthless old fool.
