...remember her slip during the hearings?....take over the oil companies?

Listening to her try to come up with the word 'nationalize' was Maxine in a nutshell.

[OpeEdMunkey]

...The best don’t seem to get elected

I'd say the best don't even bother to run. Unfortunately it's yet another condemnation of what we've become.

[OpeEdMunkey]

...but the NAACP is now claiming that blacks were FORCED to sign on to bad loans.

First we'll sue your ass because you don't make loans to bad risks in minority neighborhoods.

Then we'll sue your ass because we took those loans when you started to make them.

I should have gone to law school. Near as I can tell it's only the lawyers who are making out.

My God, I can’t imagine waking up next to her in the morning.

But she looks so warm and loving.

Rahmmerina may need to borrow the costume and music.

I was listening to the Scarborough interview with her earlier in the week.

He held her up as a standup person who he disagreed with completely but could at least respect.

Even he didn’t understand that their are different rules for the ruling elite than there are for the proletariat. He was fooled.

Her defense.. she’s an “advocate” for minority banks.

Is this not a racist remark. A congressman is supposed to represent all the people not just blacks, or special groups.

Hannity's favorite DemocRAT is in love.

Vous avez raison mon ami.

Outstanding! LOL

More free pie for the Pie Ho's Pie Hole?

Maxine Waters: Pie Ho

Est-il regrettable que le noir de nombreux imbéciles et des criminels, beaucoup plus nombreux que les Noirs respectable.

[LomanBill]

Pie Ho, Pie Ho, it’s off to work she goes
She passes bills up on the hill Pie Ho, Pie Ho Pie Ho

Pie Ho, Pie Ho, it’s off to work she goes
She screwed the banks and made them tank Pie Ho, Pie Ho Pie Ho

Pie Ho, Pie Ho, it’s off to work she goes
She baked a pie, made Wall Street die – Pie Ho, Pie Ho Pie Ho Pie Ho...

C’mon everybody, make up a verse and Sing along....

Sister Maxine since she played such a prominent role in the 1992 LA riots("No justice, no peace")

Does anyone have a video link for this. I remember the woman somewhat just didn't know it was Waters.

I'd think it were funny (if it weren't so sad) how self-evident the pro-'rat biases have been in this country for so many years.

So what your liberal reporter friend told you doesn't surprise me at all.

For better or worse, Republicans like Bob Packwood and Bob Livingston have gone by the wayside for their "mis-steps", while snakes like Bill Clinton continue to be revered and earn a million dollars a speech.

Good guys like Scooter Libby have their lives ruined while scoundrels like Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel thrive.

Rush Limbaugh is an extremist, but Bill Maher is thoughtful.

Caroline Kennedy is U.S. Senate material, but Sarah Palin is in way over her head as a governor or VP candidate.

And when you point out these obvious double-standards to a liberal or "moderate", they look at you like you've got a screw loose and call you "partisan."
