[Hemingway's Ghost]

Adult men living like adolescent boys is not funny, especially this group of adult men.

[corbie]

Love it!

Liberals Gone Wild!

I'd buy the video even if it added to their campaign coffers.

Seriesly tho, with the money these guys make, they could afford to live in better, cleaner surroundings. Do we need a campaign to help them out of their circumstances?

Jeez!

More on Bill Delahunt, who is featured in this article:

"Delahunt has paid close attention to events in, and US relations to Venezuela. In November 2005, he met with Hugo Chavez and engineered a deal in which Venezuela would supply winter home heating oil at a 40% price reduction to thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents. The deal was carried out via the Venezuelan owned Citgo, and brought accusations that Delahunt was assisting an Anti-American tyrant. The congressman, however, has sometimes criticized the Venezuelan president such as in a September 2006 letter expressing "profound disgust" at a speech given by Chavez to the United Nations, in which he personally attacked president Bush. In the letter he urged that Chavez express disagreements "in a more constructive manner," and work with the US to solve problems such as drug trafficking."

"Noticed Durbin killed a rat with a golf club. Wonder how he feels killing one of the family......"

Rats, and rodents in general, will kill and cannibalize each other. They also kill and eat their own young. I can see Durbin eating fried rat.

"How would you like to wake up every morning at 6 a.m. and see [Schumer] in the buff?" Delahunt asks.

I don't care who y'are, that's funny right there.

[Xenalyte]

Schumer's decorating style remains much the same. His toiletries sit on a nearby bookshelf, what he jokingly calls his "cosmetic cabinet." In his closet hang three identical suits, along with charcoal briquettes, shutters and arrows.

Schumer says that he hasn't made his bed, wedged right near the entrance, well, ever. Why make your bed? He asks. You just mess it up again that night.

Number one, who the HELL hangs charcoal in the closet?

Number two, and this may be TMI for some . . . he's right about the bed-making. I haven't made the bed in, like, a decade.

[Xenalyte]

Me, I figure the cleaning lady is being paid to clean, so I don't care what she thinks about me.

I mean, it's not like she's my mother.

And frankly, my aversion to cleaning is her livelihood. Syn, I hope your friend fired that cleaning service pronto.

[Alter Kaker]

I don't care who y'are, that's funny right there.

I don't care how bad Delahunt votes... that sentence can't help but awaken feelings of sympathy from deep down inside of me.

[Alter Kaker]

Number one, who the HELL hangs charcoal in the closet?

I'm amazed nobody's commented on the arrows. Who the hell has arrows in a closet? What is Schumer worried about, attack from Indian Gaming Casinos lobbyists? The guy is seriously weird.

[RebelBanker]

Charcoal absorbs odors. Same idea as putting a box of baking soda in your fridge.

Of course, getting the suits cleaned once in a while would probably eliminate the need for this!

[patton]

Agree with your point about how you treat others, but disagree completely about clean offices.

The smartest man I ever met had an office like a rat's nest.

He has mathematical equations named after him.

(As in , the Bonder-Ferral Differential Equations).

Always nice to everyone, though.

[RebelBanker]

I don't care how bad Delahunt votes... that sentence can't help but awaken feelings of sympathy from deep down inside of me.

That visual produces a feeling in the pit of my stomach - nausea!

[Xenalyte]

Eeeew! That never occurred to me.

[Xenalyte]

Who the hell has arrows in a closet?

Dude, look who you're askin'. You do NOT want to know the level of weaponry my closet has achieved. ;)

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Yet another reason why congress should be sent home.
No reason they can't do their business via web conferences and the internet like everyone else.
Keep them at home with their wives and that'll cut a lot of shenanigans out and cut taxpayers costs.
Oh, and give the terrorists one less target.

[6SJ7]

I watched the video. There is like nothing in the frig! Couldn't they at least lay in a supply of frozen pizza? Maybe some deli turkey.

[isthisnickcool]

This is one of those threads that I assumed was a joke until I saw the video.

What odd people. Kind of creepy.

[Grizzled Bear]

I can only guess at how the Secret Service feels, but after Lurch cursed a Secret Service guy who tripped him up skiing, I am guessing they are not kindly disposed to Liberals.

The fact that there have been no "accidents" during the Clinton years are a testimony to the professionalism of the United States Secret Service. These people are the last true "Knight-Protectors" on the Earth.

[Grizzled Bear]

They're Libs. They're cheap. You read the joke about the 1996 receipt from Costco. If one bought something I'm sure the rest would devour it without ever offering to chip in towards the bill.
