Comedy gold via Ben Smith from Georgia Democrat Jim Marshall, who reminds us that the cultural currency of Haight-Ashbury flower children circa 1967 is evergreen. Dig those trippy hand gestures, maaaaan. Marshall was a yes on TARP and a yes on the stimulus but an ass-saving no on ObamaCare, which means he fails to qualify as one of those “courageous” House Democrats who were dumb enough to back The One on pushing his agenda. A toast to the condemned:

“There are a lot of folks who took some really tough votes over the last 20 months knowing that it was bad for them politically, who voted for health care reform even though the polls said this would cause them problems in the next election, who voted for financial regulatory reform even though they knew that by supporting it it would impact big money pouring in and directing negative ads towards them,” the president said during a webcast town hall from The George Washington University. “And they did it anyway. And that was risky for them.”

The president highlighted some of those members who cast votes that could put their congressional careers at risk. ‘There have been a surprising number of folks who have been willing to stand up,” Obama said mentioning specifically by name Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Ala., Rep. John Boccieri, D-Ohio, Betsy Markey, D-Colo. “There have just been some folks who really stood up knowing that the might be putting their congressional careers at risk. And that’s been a pleasant surprise.”

Pelosi the crackhead,....???...I saw it somewhere

On November 16, 2006, Pelosi was unanimously chosen by her caucus as the Democratic candidate for Speaker...

Nothing to do with her...except vote for her as Speaker!

They will say whatever it takes to get re-elected. They will follow the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST to Hell.

Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Ala.

Not from Alabama.

If he is so against Pelosi, why does he remain as a democrat?

"“There have just been some folks who really stood up knowing that the might be putting their congressional careers at risk. And that’s been a pleasant surprise.”"

Does he even really understand what he is saying to people here? "Thanks for voting against the will of your constituents, you're going to take one up the bum next election, but your lying to people saying you will represent them and then not doing it is all that matters to me."

It's so telling that none of these 'Rats has the courage to try to run on their record. They are all out there telling us what they are not (not Pelosi, not Reid, not Obama). But will they tell us what they are? Will they have the honesty to tell us that when the chips are down they are going to toe the line and support Pelosi/Reid/Obama?

Fact is, they've got nothing. They can't run on their record of accomplishments because they know the public by and large hates what they've rammed through. So they're forced to demonize the Alinskyite target-of-the-week, whether it's Bush or Wall St. or John Boehner or the US Chamber of Commerce or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. All they can do is attack to distract. I for one just tune it out. If you can't tell me something positive about what you've done with the public trust you've been given, well, then you have nothing to say to me.

Obama to congress: "Thanks for voting against the will of your constituents, you're going to take one up the bum next election, but your lying to people saying you will represent them and then not doing it is all that matters to me."

You have talent! BUMP.
