House Republicans reeked of alcohol as they walked off the floor according to press members who were there. This took place during late-night debates while they inched the country closer to the looming government shutdown.

The Daily Mail reports, “Members of the political press corps made the claims from Capitol Hill on Saturday night. Politico reporter Ginger Gibson tweeted: ‘I’m not over exaggerating when I say I can smell the booze wafting from members as they walk off the floor.’







What this means, they were getting shitfaced drunk while we were all biting our nails and scrounging through the Internet in an effort to find out how a government shutdown would affect us and others.

Much more at the links:

We can argue the reports, but it fits the pattern. They want the government gone for the sake of their masters. They are dismissive of Americans and irresponsible.

26. Well at least they weren't smoking THC

But on the other hand if they were, they might have been hungry and mello enough to go out for a snack and maybe "reflect" on fixing the problem.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. People who are high are generally a bit more thoughtful and conscientious

drunks, OTOH, don't give a shit.

[Marie Marie]

2. How delightful that they see ruining the country and the lives of millions of it's citizens

as a reason to party down. Nero fiddled while Rome burned....

[freshwest]

4. That is exactly what I think of their behavior. Yuiyoshida posted an image on another good thread:

[Cha]

11. Don't get Mad.. Remember in November 2014 and 2016!!

And, Obamacare registering Voters should make it mo' better!

[freshwest]

12. They're going to register people to vote? Great idea. One of these days - everyone will vote!

[Cha]

14. Yes, it's part of the deal.. could be a huge reason

that teahadists have gone over the edge? Ya think!

[freshwest]

15. No kidding! And why they want it delayed for a year to give them the win in 2014!

And Al Sharpton told one of them off but warning, the picture of the GOPig is hard to look at:

[freshwest]

7. I know. Heartbreaking to see such evil in high places, Hekate.

[sheshe2]

8. Oh it fits the pattern alright!

I just posted this comment in a thread to Cha, it fits here too..

To the GOP and the Tea Potty.


You gave kudos and accolades Reaagun for tripling the deficit, yeah! You swooned over him and still do. Go team!!!

You cheered GWB and his band of merry men. Remember them? The ones that took us into two wars, one that was completely unrelated to 9/11. You let them throw a credit card on the table and said go for it! The card had a zero amount of funds on it. You hid that under the table. You lied to us.

George Walker Bush and all the rest of the GOP nearly brought America to it's knees. Our economy was on the brink of disaster from your policies. You guys, yes I am speaking to you, Bush is gone yet you remain and are continuing to destroy America. Nothing new here, you refused to pay for the wars under Bush and you are refusing to pay for a budget you approved now. It's the job of congress to set the budget and then pay its bills when due, yet once again you prove to be dead beat dads! You refuse to meet your obligations. You refuse to do your job! You refuse to pay for what you have spent. You are beneath contempt!

What the hell took you so long to get mad? Oh yeah, I got it. We have twice elected a black President.
One that is actually making progress for real hard working Americans and you just can't now or ever get over that.

You would be pitiful if I had one ounce of pity in me.

They remind me of Bacchus



They swill their wine while they piss on the rest of us.

Hope that picture was alright to post.

Thanks freshwest, excellent thread!

13. Righteous Rant! And the link took me just where I needed to go!

Drunk with booze, drunk with power, you name it, Cheetos and the Gangsters are disgusting.

[sheshe2]

21. Thank you, It felt good!

Til Tomorrow~

[IrishAyes]

36. Classic art is always acceptable. Thank you.

[sheshe2]

37. Thanks Irish!

Wasn't sure if it was acceptable at DU, but you are right it is Classic art. I have a Bachelors degree in Fine Art~

[Rex]

10. Pigs have no self respect.

nt.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. I wonder if Boehner passed out smokes too.

[99th_Monkey]

18. We need to piss-test our Congress Critters, to screen for booze & illicit substances nt

[PatSeg]

19. They are the ones who want

drug testing for welfare recipients. Maybe we should start with THEM.

[99th_Monkey]

20. yep. at least until they stop acting like domestic terrorists. nt

[michigandem58]

22. K&R

[Shankapotomus]

23. So Republicans are now acting like

the typical deadbeat loser husband toward America. They have sunk that low. Can a divorce be in our future at last? We can only hope.

[Tanuki]

24. I wish they would name names. n/t

[Zorra]

25. Most of us would get fired on the spot for drinking alcohol at work. nt

[SomethingFishy]

38. +1000 I can't think of a single job where drinking is allowed

Even the breweries have rules now...

This is bullshit. They decide the fate of millions while drinking enough so they reek?

[Historic NY]

27. Were going to have to demmand breathalyzers...

before these bozo's can take their seat.

[madrchsod]

28. so they turned the people`s house into their fucking frat house....

another low point for this bunch of degenerate republicans

[Barack_America]

29. No doubt tax payers bought the booze. nt

[truebluegreen]

30. If I were going to do a Thelma-and-Louise, I'd probably have a drink first too.

This will not end well for them (but it may end better for us).

[B Calm]

31. We need to give them random drug and alcohol tests. Then fire them on the spot!

[joanbarnes]

32. ALL of Us would be fired instantly for drinking on the job........

[bucolic_frolic]

33. Maybe GOP should bring back Prohibition

They only want to prohibit what is healthy, like health care,
clean air and water, environmental regulations.

But guns, booze, porn, pollution .... they leave those alone.

[IrishAyes]

35. I think if I faced their awful approaching fate, I'd drink too! Like a fish!

But I can't find one drop of sympathy or pity for these savages. They deserve the worst we can deal out to them. Then they'll have to face their masters and take a beating for their failure and all that wasted $. It would be like reporting back to ScrewHook that they failed. No mercy at that seat.

[freshwest]

43. Needed to be said, thanks, IA.

[Old Navy]

39. I am for massive alcohol intake on all Republicans. They have to be extremely intoxicated

and in midst of liver failure so they can try to use their "insurance exchange" for rehab and care.

[kairos12]

40. I would have figured the reek of breath mints and sulfur.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. We definately know who one of them was

#john%20boehner%20drunk

[YOHABLO]

42. If you were so self-loathing wouldn't you need something to numb the pain?

[gopiscrap]

45. stupid irresponsible fuckers

[merrily]

46. It's a frat house beaten by the ugly stick.
