There’s no family I know,’’ Cummings continued encouragingly, “that when they have problems they say, ‘To hell with it.’ ’’ The most memorable part of his “life-altering” trip to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral in South Africa, he told his friends in the hotel ballroom, was when Mandela’s grandson said that the great man had counseled him, “Don’t be pushed around by your fears and problems; be led by your hopes and dreams.”

Actually, Emerson said that.

Cummings may think so....

[Dick Bachert]

Possibly. But MORONS like Cummings don’t THINK — they FEEL!!

[right way right]

It doesn't matter.
They all have the brown Teflon coating of affirmative action.
It doesn't matter.

if he could convince the LIV that Mandela wrote the Gettysburg Address

Afraid we're well past that point.

Even that doped-up back-stabbing intern-killing liar Joe Scarborough has told of the day his young son, 8 or 9 years old, came home from school claiming history was his favorite class.

Joe said to him, "History, huh? So tell me who was the first president of the United States?"

"Martin Luther King!" the old chip of the block replied.

its a matter of time

[billhilly]

Yes, that’s her. She is one smart cookie and not a bad looker either.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

No, that was Hank Johnson.

[P-Marlowe]

My mistake. It’s hard telling the idiots apart.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Viking2002]

No, not him. Elijah Cummings is the one who finds some racial indignity in the sun rising and the birds chirping. Kinda looks like a carp that's been lip-hooked and thrown back one time too many.

You’re just racist. I know that Emerson lived in the 19th century, but, somehow he stole the line from Nelson Mandela di Necklace.

This is the same idiot that thought Guam would capsize if we stationed more Marines there.

Cummings is a big-mouthed racist, but I am pretty sure he is not that dumb. Someone else said that, I think.

[Bigg Red]

Elijah Cummings is a useful idiot. His temper tantrum was orchestrated by the White House to created a situation where they can give Darrell Issa the Alinsky treatment

***
Spot-on. Meanwhile, as commanded, the useful idiots in the media dutifully reported on the Issa-Cummings spat and ignored the real story of Lerner and IRS transgressions.

[Bigg Red]

Thank you for that quote.

[Bigg Red]

You gotta wonder who votes for a braindead like this dude!

**
One word: Baltimore.

Well, he also actually represents Howard County, where many Granolians live.

[Bigg Red]

The scary part, though, is Van Jones is no dummy.

Elijah Cummings..Marylands FInest?

*** Cummings is a big-mouthed racist, but I am pretty sure he is not that dumb. Someone else said that, I think.

He's a Democrat. You can't have a brain and be a Democrat.

Did he correct the guy who said it?
