To BOOs! Rep Neugebauer: "The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves" Ranger: "I'm not ashamed"In an astounding confrontation that took place yesterday at the World War II Memorial in DC, a Tea Party congressman from Texas appeared to blame the Park Service for denying veterans access to the facility and then made a Park Ranger apologize for the shutdown. "How do you look at them and ... deny them access?" Rep. Randy Neugebauer asked the unidentified Ranger in an incredible exchange that was caught on camera by NBC Washington.
In fact, the Park Service has been invoking the First Amendment in order to allow vets into the memorial despite the shutdown making it illegal for the department to do so.
"It's difficult," the Ranger replied. "Well, it should be difficult," scorned the congressman. "It is difficult," the Ranger repeated. "I'm sorry, sir."
"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," said Neugebauer. "I'm not ashamed," the Ranger retorted.
"You should be," sneered Neugebauer.

(28,349 posts)Participating in shutting down the government, blaming it on others, intimidating and trying to embarrass the Park Ranger.
Yes, he carries a lot of shame, and rejoices in it. That's pretty evil, in my book.

He's either a complete and total idiot to not understand what was going on, or he's a complete and total grandstanding hypocrite.
Fuck him either way.

Most of you are familiar with Juanitas favorite yachtsman, Republican Congressman Randy Neugebauer of deep West Texas. The district that Randy represents is landlocked and 95% dessert. The other 5% is asphalt.
However, Randy bought a damn yacht with his campaign donations. Not a bass boat. Not even a ski boat. Its a yacht. In fact, heres what it looks like, she shows a picture to everyone and they all say, Damn, girl, that a yacht!
Here is a picture of the yacht purchased with campaign funds
It is hard to take anything that this idiot says seriously

(145,667 posts)According to Juanita Jean, CREW has filed an ethics complaint against this idiot http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/10/04/at-the-very-least-someone-should-sink-his-yacht/
Well, the good folks over at CREW did more than just get upset. They did something.Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) for conduct that reflects discreditably upon the House.
I know. Its hard to believe that he hasnt been be brought up before on conduct that reflects discreditably upon the House. Of course, Tom DeLay and Louie Gohmert lowered the standard on that pretty good.Rep. Neugebauers demeaning treatment of the ranger reinforces the commonly held belief that members of Congress are arrogant and have an over-inflated sense of superiority, continued [CREW Executive Director Melanie] Sloan. The House cannot permit its members to berate federal employees for a government shutdown for which Congress is responsible. Rep. Neugebauer needs to be held accountable for his reprehensible conduct.
This is good news.
