What will be the next excuse du jour for the Democratic "leadership"
as to why they can't get anything accomplished because it's taking up all their time.

By their reasoning they should have everything they wanted to accomplish done in the next two weeks now that AW resigned.

1. Question?
These days isn't 'Democratic leadership' an oxymoron.

3. Excuses when Bush was in power, excuses when Bush was out of power, when we...

...had control in congress, when we didn't.

Spin the big fucking Wheel of Memory to find out what they're likely to use next.

So now that it's been thumb-up-ass on Clarence Thomas because our own party is pearl-clutching over Rep. Weiner, they will promptly forget Clarence Thomas and then insist raising the Debt ceiling is too important to otherwise be preoccupied with Justice Thomas, during which time they will continue to do very little that doesn't suit them directly.

There's a reason 1/3 of the Democratic members of the House voted to delay House leadership votes: It's cause House leadership is flailing in their own shit instead of pushing through a Liberal agenda. That's what fucking Democrats are, right? Liberals?

President Obama was voted-in because of what Candidate Obama promised to do.



Pander to those fucking voters for a change, eh?

OnEdit Because I'm Not Fucking Done Yet: Bush was the easiest motherfucking, clueless mark. Democratic leadership could have fucked his world into crimson over his entire corrupt administration. What did we get? Huh? What did we get? "We need to look forward."

5. I like that a lot.
"President Obama was voted-in because of what Candidate Obama promised to do."


Unfortunatly, I think he would laugh at candidate Obama today.

4. That is no problem to them
since they have a whole wing of their headquarters dedicated to generating excuses and suck-up messages to TeaPubliCan't ideas and their subsequent cave-ins to those ideas. DLC = New Democrats - which is what the leadership of Wimp-O-Dems, are no longer afraid of the average democratic voters because we do not have anywhere else to go and we are resigned to follow sheepishly wherever they lead us to.

6. oK, so we put up with the alleged "distraction" on the dime store news we're getting until the 20th.
What are they? I think we should tell all of Congress and Mr. President to FOCUS!

7. They need no excuses. They're shameless.
They're the best prostitutes corporations ever had. They don't even complain or defend their own.
