Citizen Shame Tries to Unload Online [Stupid, Whiny Leftist Schadenfreud Alert!]

Citizen Shame tries to unload online

Apparently unable to cope with four more years of George W. Bush in the White House, New York Democrat Jason Eaton tried to sell his U.S. citizenship to the highest bidder.

The day after President Bush beat Sen. John Kerry in the election, Eaton - a 32-year-old Greenwich Village resident and children's book author - listed his citizenship on eBay.

The very modest starting price was $10.

Eaton's online description: "Absolutely priceless in 2000, its value has been steadily decreasing over the last four years. It is only in fair condition now, but can certainly be enjoyed by the many gun owners, warmongers, creationists, plutocrats and homophobes that make up 51% of the country."

Yesterday, Eaton told Lowdown: "This was the only thing I could do to feel better about the election. The only element of seriousness is that I'm seriously horrified by what happened.

"For four years, you think: It's the administration, not the American people. And now you realize it is the American people - 51% of them. Living in New York makes you forget that."

In the first 12 hours, multiple bidders placed their bets and the price jumped to $24. But by yesterday afternoon, the auction site had removed the listing, with eBay spokesman Hani Durzy explaining:

"You must legally be able to sell the item to list it on eBay."

Heard Ron Kuby say that his 'paramour' considered the re-election of President Bush the same as 9/11.

Leave it to liberals to think that American citizenship can be bought or sold.

Um.... I bet a ton of people around the world would kill to come to this gun toting, plutocrat, homophobe paradise.

Some people just do not get what thise country is about. Maybe we should set aside a place for all the Blue people to migrate to.

"And now you realize it is the American people - 51% of them. Living in New York makes you forget that."

Finally, a little bit of reality from the insulated left. So many of them, like the elitists at the NYT, surround themselves only with like-minded self-reighteousness that they completely lose touch with reality.

Truth is, if their sort didn't have a near monopoly on the media, there would be far more than the 51% blocking their "progressive" destruction of America.

after this low life debris gets his twenty some dollar payoff, do we get the pleasure of watching him move out? If he promises to leave the country and never ever return I may be interested in bidding myself.

Why would anyone pay much for it. Sounds like it has been misused and is probably defective.

Just another example of the leftists truly believing the rules are for the masses they seek to manipulate, and do not apply to the enlightened elite.

I'm guessing the atmosphere in N.Y.C is the same as here in Boston.(post election wise.)

Pretty glum.

The "re-defeat Bush" and "Kerry Edwards" bumper stickers that were annoying a week ago have now been transformed.

I get a happy little feeling knowing the Liberal who so proudly pasted them onto the bumper of his Volvo has had all the hatred they projected onto the President turned inward and has made their defeat even more painful.

I bet there is a mental competency requirement as well!

No doubt Eaton has already sold his soul to the Democrats!
