SHELBY: IF I DON'T GET PORK, THE TERRORISTS WIN....

<...>

Congressional Republicans have been breathtakingly irresponsible of late, but Shelby's latest gambit might be the single most ridiculous stunt in a long while. What kind of right-wing clown rails against government spending and then holds the Senate hostage until he gets his earmarks?

1. The President needs to nail his b*lls to the wall...

.... "LIFT your hold or you will NOT be welcome at the Alabama Crimson Tide BCS championship photo op at the White House."

We Bama fans do NOT play when it comes to football! That would get him for sure! ;)

3. They are like little kids that need a good whipping. I just wish Obama would give them one ...

but most of the time he's just handing out candy and hoping they will be good because they are so grateful.

When will he realize that playing nice is not going to work?

5. Shelby did just see Nelson get all the graft he wanted...

ummm, call it graft or corruption or payola. They all work. Blackmail too needs to be considered.

6. The worst part about it is that,

in Alabama, Shelby will get re-elected handily no matter how much of a shitbag he is just because he has that magical "(R)" after his name.

His Democratic opponent could literally be the second coming of Jesus Christ, and still wouldn't stand a chance.
