Hey, speaking of a protected political class of perverts and cheats, what has become of Obama’s Hawaiian best friend who was arrested for prostitution?

To update Charles De Gaulle for the 21st Century: “The prisons are full of indispensible men...”

“After Charlie Rangel, chair of the House committee that writes America’s tax laws, was “censured” by Congress for multiple infractions of, er, America’s tax laws, a Washington Times reporter invited him to imagine what punishment the “average American citizen” would have received had he done what the Congressman did. “Please,” Rangel told her. “I don’t deal in average American citizens.””

Not really?? That’s up there with “taxes are for the little people.”

And to think the resigned IMF head (a socialist creep) gets $300,000 per year for life along with other perks for his “retirement years”.

Mark Steyn: I don’t always agree with him, but I always enjoy reading him.

I heard him live when he said that. Liberal Americans are so dumb, with an attention span of ten seconds.

My alltime favorite was the "That's why we get to ride in the limo's and you don't" - Joe Biden, during senate hearings. The tyrade Shillary went on when an Arkansas constituant presented her with solid gold razorback earings during the 1992 campaign, was a close second. Anything said by James Carville comes in third. I do however like James very much. Hate his politics, but he is a stand-up guy who say's what's on his mind. After saying it he slithers back under his rock.

He gets 300K for life? Wonder how he’ll spend that in prison. Mark Steyn is SO FUNNY.

Nobody reveals the absurd like Mark Steyn. He’s a treasure.

Fantastic rant by Steyn. There’s a lot of anger under the humor.

Did Rangel actually say this: “Please, I don’t deal in average American citizens”? Amazing.

Righto. It is amazing to watch the Political Ruling Class Pundits attempt to excuse one of the International Top Dog Socialists. Now they will attempt the consensual sex trick. Compare the Punditry MSM coverage of this Vermin to the coverage of the Duke LaCrosse Team.

Why, yes, he did say that. I’d forgotten this.

The GOP leadership is acting like the Royal Piss Bucket Boy.

I've been thinking about this whole mess and the lawyers saying that the sex was consenual with the maid. You know what? It can't be consensual. She's not in a position to risk her livelihood. She's obviously a courageous person for speaking up.

It's the same thing with Ahnold. I'm sick of listening to all those female talking idiots on TV saying how wonderful Maria is, and how she's the victim. These women who are being used ("consensual" or not) by the elitists are often a direct result of the fact that they are here as minorities, legally at the mercy or their employers or illegally. The fact that Maria Shriver and that hotel had female workers who are second-class citizens means they are for all purposes a slave class. And all of these elitist women who support the invasion of the US don't see this victimization as a consequence.

This makes sense to me. I'm just not sure anyone else will follow my logic.

And I applaud these women. I don't want them in the country, I don't want them taking US jobs and being free meat for elitist pigs, but they did themselves proud. Arnold's friend by all accounts has raised a fine son. And the maid must be going through hell right now, acting beyond what is probably typical.

Bullseye for Mark...thanks for posting.

I love it when they describe DSK as a "millionaire socialist." Isn't that oxymoronic?

And as for the reaction and comments of the French pols and intellects: I did not think that I could think less of the French, but they managed to achieve a new low. However, I do not think that the average French man-in-the-street or woman would feel that the maid is questionable and DSK is really OK.

i’m surprised that bill clinton is not mentioned. not only did
he rape women, he then hired private detectives to go
after and intimidate them. republicans should
constantly remind people of this. and recently,
katie couric and george stephanapoulos
attended party given by jeffrey epstein,
friend of bill and al, who had been convicted
of sex with underage girls.
