Maybe, Dirty Harry, because for you, ‘making progress’ means destroying and raping America for you and your cronies gain, and Republicans just won’t allow it.

“Greased pigs?” Actually, that’s what Harry thinks of Boy Scouts who play “hard-to-get.”

Dirty Harry reminds of a weasel who has had a close encounter with a skunk. At least you can eat a pig, they serve a useful purpose, weasels, I don’t think so.

“reminds me of chasing one of these little pigs in a greased pig contest.”

Time to stay away from those Las Vegas brothels, Harry.

...or getting a straight answer, instead of lies, out of the administration is like a greased pig (say Eric the Corrupt Holder) contest.
