Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Naturally) Jokes About The Death Of Hillary Clinton

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/05/31/rep-dave-reichert-r-naturally-jokes-about-the-death-of-hillary-clinton/


Not only is Dave Reichert an ineffective congressman, but he has a twisted sense of humor, as the Tacoma News Tribune’s Niki Sullivan reports:

Right now, U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is up. He repeated a joke I first heard him tell at the Pierce County Republicans’ Lincoln Day breakfast earlier this year. It involves an airplane that’s going to crash, one fewer parachute than passengers and, ultimately, Hillary Clinton dying.

-snip-

Joking about the death of one of the two Democrats seeking the presidency, if not inappropriate, is certainly not classy, and is further evidence that Dave Reichert himself does not have good judgment.

-snip-

Reichert is running against Blue America candidate Darcy Burner. Please considering helping Darcy’s campaign so we can show Reichert out the door.

and slap his nasty mouth

has the Secret Service had a little talk with him yet?

2. For that old joke?
I'm sure there's much better reasons to vote against him than retelling that old, old, old joke that's been around since the parachute was invented.

7. I find it interesting from my research that all the articles talking
about this look the same and that not one of them tells what the joke was he told. I guess that it must be a very horrific joke. Because this is the political season though I suspect that if they actually showed me the joke that it would be just funny. It would also probably be easy to substitute anyones name in for the punch line like..... *.

Raebrek!!!

10. Here it is
I'll retell it yet again, picking on people I don't like:

John McCain, Bill Gates, the Pope and a college student are on a plane when the pilot comes running through the cabin yelling "the plane's on fire! Grab a parachute and save yourself, there's three left!" He kicks open the back emergency door and jumps. The four of them scramble around looking for parachutes and Bill Gates grabs one and says "I'm the richest man in the world, I own this airline, so this is MY chute." He puts it on and jumps.
Then John McCain says "I'm the smartest one in the world, because I only I understand how to win in Iraq. I have to save the world, so I'm going next". He grabs a pack, straps it on and jumps.
The Pope then looks at the college student and says "I'm old and have led a long life, I'm prepared to meet the Lord, you go ahead and take the last chute."
The college student says "There's still two parachutes left, the smartest man in the world took my backpack."

12. It is inappropriate, and this guy is a douchebag.
Hope Darcy Burner kicks his ass, but classily.

13. Never seen Burner be anything but classy. She should have a comfortable win this year,
She's already outraising him by a significant margin.

14. Good.
The class part is taken care of, and it looks like the asskicking is on its way.
