I can't wait to vote this pompous, arrogant, good-for-nothing bozo out of office in November.

These snippets are just part of a larger article about him, but they show exactly what's wrong with the mindset that politicians get, especially ones that have been around forever and are used to people kissing their asses.

[Retired COB]

I don’t care if he is a sick old man, if he treated me like that I’d whip his butt!

[353FMG]

He could’ve tried to be suave and asked for his martini to be shaken and not stirred.

[TChris]

Well put.

That level of power, for that long, is very corrosive.

[HIDEK6]

A lot of this stuff is ridiculous, but when you want a martini, you really need to get it.

[Racer1]

There is a lot of us that can’t wait to vote this guy out and won’t be the first time I’ve voted against this turd.

A spector walks into a bar and orders a martini. (Can anybody finish that joke?)

[Recon Dad]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I can't stand Arlen but if you go to a bar it's not too much to ask that they have a bartender. What a sad state of affairs when someone is so dumb that they can't make a Gin Martini.

Ingredients
Dry Vermouth
2 ounces gin, chilled
Directions
Pour a little bit of dry vermouth in a chilled martini glass and swirl to coat the inside of the glass. Dispose of excess vermouth. In a shaker full of ice, gently swirl or stir the gin before straining into glass.

Serving suggestion: Garnish with olives, lemon twist or cocktail onion and add rocks if you like.

Just one of 100 arrogant, entitled, elitist bastards who really believe they know more than the average voter - then go on to prove it every six years.

In other words, Specter is a flippin’ diva. He’s been in the Senate WAY too long.

Serving suggestion for Arlen Specter : Garnish with olives, lemon twist or cocktail onion and add rocks if you like. Chase it with a pint of Prestone anti-freeze.

There. Fixed it.

It sounds like the waiter was your typical smart-ass kid who thinks waiting tables is beneath him and goes out of his way to insure that you don't have a pleasant experience. They're all over the place, even here in NC, though the closer you get to the Arctic Circle, the more numerous they become.

Such obvious BS, "Sorry, no drinks tonight because there's no bartender and no manager. Have a nice day."

[RabidBartender]

""It's ridiculous, not having a bartender."

It's true. Everyone should have one.

It was Julius Caesar, and he wanted a martinus.

The bartender says, "Caesar, don't you mean a 'Martini'?"

Caesar says, "I only want one!"

[Buckeye McFrog]

Arrogant Entitled SOB?

Yep, that’s the Arlen Specter I know...

[Tzimisce]

He’s a liberal.

What do you expect?

[Sans-Culotte]

I make mine in much the same way, but I leave the gin in the freezer and do not involve ice at all. Also, I like caperberries instead of olives.

[Recon Dad]

Don’t you just hate it when you start to feel sorry for Arlen Specter?

[Recon Dad]

Do not forget to shake.
