Senate Democrats hosted Deadliest Catch Captain Keith Colburn on the Hill today to say that he can’t go fishing because of the government shutdown.
Colburn was testifying at this afternoon’s Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the economic impacts of the government shutdown.
“This is the first time in my 28 years of fishing that I haven’t been in the Bering Sea in October getting ready to go fish,” Colburn said “Many fishermen and coastal communities are already facing tough times. This unnecessary shutdown may be the tipping point if the situation isn’t resolved soon… I’m a small businessman in a big ocean with big bills. I need to go fishing.”

He’s not fishing because government controls the fisheries and decides who will fish and who will not.
Go Fishing, Cap.
Y’mean if he fishes and brings in a load ... he can’t unload it ?
This is going sucks
I am fan of tv show Deadliest catch
I’d rather spend a bad day in the bilge than a good day at work. :)

********
The government controls EVERYTHING.
Someone please remind Captain Imbecile that if this is the first time in 28 years that he has been disallowed the chance to go fishing, then that means he has been through the other 17 shutdowns and the other past Presidents didnt stop him from running his business. He is an imbecile for blaming this mess on “government” when history has shown us such an obfuscation (whether intentional or not) makes no sense. It is the communist, Kenyan faggot and his democrat lackeys who said to make this as painful as possible, so someone please remind this idiot that there is no need to generalize when the reason is as clear as daylight.
Welp, there goes the 12.99 Crabfest at Red Lobster.
Colburn is the biggest whiner on that show
In the previo9us shutdown the President didn’t order the Coast Guard to shutdown all fishing areas. ALL fishing areas are regulated by federal fishing permits and Obama ordered all fishing permits suspended. Obama is acting like a temper tantrum throwing child.

But the talking head on MSNBC told him that its “the government” and the childish, whiny emails from MoveOn.org said that it’s the “#GOPShutdown”.
Did they lie??
If you look up the phrase "useful idiot" in Miriam's Dictionary (as Soetoro calls it), you'll find a pic of Capt. Keith.
Senate RATS are the ones keeping you from fishing you moe-ron.
Now that Captain Colburn has come out as a liberal, I am glad Captain Jonathon Hilstrand knocked him on his ass!
I stopped watching Deadliest Catch when Phil Harris died. This whining crybaby was one of the other reasons I quit watching. He “recently ran with the bulls at Pamplona?” He doesn’t sound like he’s doing too bad. Typical commie lib DemocRAT.
Keith Colburn and Sig Hansen were on Fox and friends a while back and Colbrun said that global warming is killing the business. Sig Hansen rolled his eyes and said “You just don’t know where to fish”.
He should say the real financial loss he feels is no royalties and residuals from Discovery Channel when his boat is tied up in Ballard. (seattle’s fishing port).
I suspect, at the cost of crabbing and his past season’s catches, he’d have been out of the biz a few seasons ago w/o Discovery’s fees paid to him.
WA state (whiner) Ping
Well said and thank you!
