That's the guy that talked about how important the Ten Commandments were, they named like...what...three of them? Doofus.

I'm as far from a Christian as you can be now, and even I can name about 8 of them! :)

...This guy is totally clueless.

I screwed up covet they neightobr's wife and covet they neighbor's possessions, which is the difference between the catholic version and the Jewish and Protestant version.

thou shall covet thy neighbours's wife and thy neighbours's possession

Ready, go!

Thou shalt not put any other God before me.
Honor thy Sabbath.
Do not make graven idols.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not covet.
Don't commit adultery.

What's the other one I usually forget, ahhhh. Honor thy mother and father!

Don't take the Lord's name in vain?

Heck that's 9! I'm not sure what the last one is. I think I forget the one about not taking the Lord's name in vain last night :)

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.

Coveting is one of the foundations of the marketplace. Gotta have what thy neighbor has!

Mz Pip
:dem:

Just like Honoring Thy Father and Mother comes with a promise that's often left out.

It's often left out in our heads, since it's so like coveting.

It cracked my hubby and me up (we even high-fived each other) that he couldn't name them. That's what they should all get asked--I'd bet most can't.

"Thou shalt not lie."

No wonder I forgot all about it ;)

Gee, look at all the ones he forgot. I wonder why. ;)

You would think that all the Ten Commandment people would have learned by now to memorize The Ten Commandments.

It's like that Repuke layer on Free Republic who is running for congress and doesn't know what The Eighth Amendment is.

:crazy:

You know, I bet they don't even have "The Ten Commandments" posted in their own homes, and they want to post them in the City Hall!?! :wtf:

My georgia congressman tom Price is as much of a joke as they get.

Looks like he ran unopposed last year, what's up with that? :wtf:

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/elections/2004/ga/>

stupid that guy is!

He must have been acting. No one could be that clueless and win an elec.....
.......Oh! Wait!

:rofl:

...a district just south of me, and this is the sort of BushBot that Diebold selects for us here in Georgia.

This makes 3 Georgia Republicans that Steven has had on, and he's made both Diebold Bushbots looks REALLY stupid (mine was the other GA-11th). They both are completely worthless, Rubber-stamp idiots.

I would love to see a list of voting districts using Diebold machines along with the results of those elections. Evidently these things are programmed to "elect" Republicans. I think any Republican elected on these cheat machines should be referred to, often and always, as "Diebold Republican John Smith" or whatever. This phrase needs to enter the language as soon as possible.

...have a few Democrats in districts were they thought the people would probably riot if they tried to steal those seats.

Here's a link to the Washington Post report: <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/elections/2004/ga/>

I'm not sure how they let Max Burns lose, they must have been too focused on stealing the election for Bush and the State House and Senate in 2004.

What bothers me is, we had 6 un-opposed House races last time, 4 of them ReThugs.

Personally, I always refer to all the ReThugs as "Diebold Selected..."

He thinks the Ten Commandments should be posted in public places (I mean--where else? Synagogues? Churches??) yet he can't name the commandments. Sheesh!

Tired Old Cynic

for quick and easy reference, when you can't remember them. :)

Sid

"A good conservative district. A good family district"

who does THAT sound like?

he really IS an idiot

'I have no idea...'

Good grief. He came to an intellectual challenge with one of the best ever without a single synapses. Geez. This man could be president. And Ty Cobb was the Georgia Peach and no female, and this is an idiot!!!

did he get more than those two?

that was one of the most AMAZING things I've ever seen.

if he has an opponent, there's his entire campaign!

"What a maroon! What a nigh-cow-poop" -- Bugs Bunny :rofl:

That should be a commercial.

The Ten Commandments and the Georgia Peach thing...

should just show Republicans, well, being Republicans.

I caught a glimpse last night of C-Span showing Rep. Steve King (Iowa, I think), he was saying who could image a war where the enemy would use IED's? suicide bombers, etc. I was like, Hello? Is there anybody in there? Clue: Israeli/ Palestinian conflict. King's supporters should be so embarrassed.

If the Dem's were smart, they would just show these bozo's being bozo's! We couldn't be called negative, because, well, it would be these nut bags saying stupid stuff!

It would be the cheapest ad campaign imaginable!

I actually think that may be the strategy, if you give them enough rope, they'll hang themselves. That strategy has been effective to date, let's work on ads for the fall! It should be fun, just reviewing the footage, and oh, Mr. Melhman (Milkman, per spell check, too funny to ignore) gave us a good one the other night.

Reporter: Sir, those are dummies.
Governor William J. Le Petomane: How do you think I got elected?

Hedley Lamarr: Give the Governor "harrumph"!
Startled Aide: Harrumph!
Governor Lepetomane: You watch your ass!

Priceless ~ thanks for the link!

:toast:

I already foirwarded it to some friends and family, LOL :rofl:

in public places. Maybe if the Cons learned them, they would see just how many of them they break.

Wouldn't that be kick in the pants?:evilgrin:

When the bill came up requiring pets to be saved (a la Katrina disaster) he voted no. "Unfunded mandates."

I hope he burns. MFSOB.

in the hot NO sun or become feral because we don't want any 'unfunded mandates.'"
How about the friggin war, there's an unfunded $trillion mandate, MFSOB.

Stephen Colbert just keeps getting better and better.

this idiot to name all of the 10 Commandments! Beautiful!!!!

It's truly amazing that they'd agree to come on his program when he skewers them every time. They must be clueless to the nth degree. :rofl:

But you would think that his staffers would be smart enough to know that Colbert would make a fool out of him.

My wife and I were not sure the interview was real. Is it? Seriously?

We could not believe an elected congressmen could come off like this. It's simply unbelievable.

...do-nothing Bush-Bot.
Arrg! support troops, stay course, Democrats BAD! Ahrrrg!

I hope, when this guy again wins by 51% to 49% in the 2006 November Election, you all will FINALLY take serious the REAL problem; Diebold paperless Voting machines! :argh:

that I'm registered to vote in a very red county in Georgia. Well, here's proof. This numbnuts, Lynn Westmoreland, is my Congressman.

Because that was the last place I lived in the States, I can't change my voter registration either because I no longer have an American address.

I'm so embarrassed.

Westmoreland allegedly represents a neighboring district; he's my sister-in-law's congressthingie, and she called to insist that we watch. I was flabbergasted that this late in 2006 there are still pols whose staffs can't prep them for a session with Colbert.

What a maroon. He couldn't summon any enthusiasm for anyting he's done since taking office, and the most he could say about the Commandments was that they "isn't a bad thing." The deer-in-the-headlights look on his face was priceless. Poor fellow realized that something was going wrong, but just wasn't equipped to identify it.

"...Poor fellow realized that something was going wrong, but just wasn't equipped to identify it."

If you think he was bad, you should check out Colbert interview with the the retard Diebold selected to represent me in congress!

Know a District: Georgia's 11th District -- Stephen gives Congressman Phil Gingrey a Vandyke.

At least Gingrey had a clue, and a modicum of wit. I'd almost rather have Bob Barr back.

Colbert showed ONE GA congressMAN is an idiot. (and he is)

I live in David Scott's district. I'll grant you he's voted a couple times differently than I'd like but he's no "moran" to be sure. They aren't ALL idiots.

I humbly bring this up because I hate that whole "Georgia (or the south) is full of dumbasses" mindset.

know what he was getting into.............his whole staff should be fired.

...who have been on The Colbert Report so far.

Know a District: Georgia's 8th -- Stephen asks Congressman Lynn Westmoreland how he avoided getting sucked into making laws.

Know a District: Georgia's 1st -- Stephen talks to Congressman Jack Kingston about his African experiences.

The Headline of the post has a character limit, you know. There wasn't enough room to be 100% accurate, that's what the Message area is for.

I'll re-phase for you,
The Cobert Report again shows that MOST of the Georgia Congressional delegation are idiots!

I don't know the Rep you are talking about, but I do have great respect for one of the last Non-Diebold selected,

House Rep. John Lewis (GA-5th) <http://www.house.gov/johnlewis/index.shtml>

Check out this website, it's got a U.S. Debt counter on it that is awesome!

"So, with all of this in mind, I give you my revised list of the two commandments:

Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

&

Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.

Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his fuckin' pocket. I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment:

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself."
