Alan Simpson: Social Security Is 'A Milk Cow With 310 Million Tits'

[superconnected]

Source: Huffington Post

UPDATE: Wednesday 10:27 a.m. - Alan Simpson should resign as co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission for sending an email to a leading women's rights advocate calling Social Security "a milk cow with 310 million tits!" a leading advocate of Social Security said Wednesday, arguing that Simpson's "disdain for the very program he claims he is trying to protect" makes him unfit for a leadership position on the panel, which is considering cuts to Social Security.

Social Security Works co-director Eric Kingson, in a statement released the day after the email became public, said that Simpson's "disdain for the very program he claims he is trying to protect" makes him unfit for a leadership position on the commission, which is considering cuts to Social Security.

Social Security Works is on steering committee of the 125 member Strengthen Social Security Coalition.

"Alan Simpson's comments are offensive and sexist and clearly demonstrate that he is unfit to continue to lead the President's Fiscal Commission," he said. "His comments not only show his true view of women and older Americans but also his disdain for the very program he claims he is trying to protect - Social Security. Social Security Works is demanding that he resign immediately."

1. contemptible tightwad

remove that PIG!

[saigon68]

7. NICE JOB OBAMA

For appointing this clown

[Iowa]

18. Yep. Unless we hear a vigorous counter-attack by Obama...

...Obama may as well have said it himself.

[avaistheone1]

25. Obama picked Simpson for the job.

Simpson's reputation proceeds him. Simpson was a well known sociopathic conservative Scrooge. How could Obama be so bright and have worked in the Senate and yet not know the true nature of Simpson.

Of course, Obama knew exactly what he was getting when he placed Simpson on that commission.

[Echotrail]

41. The WH accepted his apology and is keeping Simpson on

http://tinyurl.com/3axvr9m

Gross!

AARP and NOW think so, too.

[avaistheone1]

45. This outburst from Simpson is not the only one.

Simpson has been doing it regularly since he was placed on the Catfood Commission.

Simpson apology is insincere. Obama should fire him instead of accepting his apology.



:grr:

[liberal N proud]

2. I wish that cow would kick him in the head

I have no compassion for the compashion-less idiots

[tomhayes]

3. This seems INSANE

Has he lost his mind?

[ladjf]

4. What a jerk! nt

[Arkana]

5. Yeah, Obama should not have put this fox in charge of the henhouse.

[daleanime]

6. That's not enough...

the whole group is tinted, flush the lot. Cuts to any program have to include the people who are paying for them-that's us!

[OhioChick]

8. Wow. n/t

[Lightning Count]

9. Get ready for "modest" reform. nt

[FlyByNight]

10. Ah, bipartisanship

I just love it.

:puke:

[TomClash]

11. Except . . .

. . . the 310 million tits spend most of their lives feeding the cow. How about that?

[Locrian]

12. exactly

>>. . . the 310 million tits spend most of their lives feeding the cow. How about that?


Exactly. With a bunch of GIANT tits stealing from it.

[Uncle Joe]

31. It seems that from your graph, Alan Simpson's salary and benefits as a Congressman may have come

Social Security's Trust Fund?

The people have been paying in to this account and it looks like Alan Simpson has been sucking on it.

That sucks because few people less deserve the right to suck on the American Peoples' contributions to the Social Social Security trust fund, than Alan Simpson, his record has been atrocious and regardless the money should never have been used for that purpose anyway.

They need to tax the mega wealthy and quit trying to screw everyone else for a change.

[lumpy]

32. Excellent retort Tom.

Would make an outstanding political ad for some enterprizing political entity.

[TomClash]

34. And probably will be . . . nt

[rocktivity]

33. DING DING DING! TomClash, you're our grand prize winner!

...(T)he 310 million tits spend most of their lives feeding the cow.

That's right! Just like that "lesser person" on Countdown who pointed out that unemployment is paid into by workers rather than handed out, Social Security is, too! it's one thing for the Rethugs to try to cast it as an entitlement program, but the guy who sits on what's supposed to be a regulatory commission?

:headbang:

35. Good for Mika

Haven't watched that show since the election. Might start watching again if she insists on thinking and speaking her mind.

[rocktivity]

36. Sorry Tom, that "grand prize winner" was for YOU! Fixed my post.

:blush:

13. Proof positive of the Peter Principle.

The Peter Principle is the principle that "in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to their level of incompetence".

14. He actually said this? Wow.

[Dr.Phool]

15. Obama needs to fire this bastard NOW!

Better yet, fire the whole fucking commission!

[ozymandius]

19. Hear! Hear! Shitcan this asshole!

The whole damn commission needs to be deep-sized.

[superconnected]

27. +1000

[CLANG]

16. Horses ass! Put him out to pasture...

[Jefferson23]

17. A vile man is appointed, WHY? n/t

[ozymandius]

20. I am waiting for the usual contemptible lot to defend this bastard.

Waiting...

DU is full of apologists for this assassination squad.

[xxqqqzme]

21. nomination - 'Worst Person in the Wooorrrllldddd'

[superconnected]

28. I second that nomination!

[indepat]

22. Assh*le Simpson: SS payroll taxes have been a cash cow for the Federal government, funding trillions

of dollars spent for other government programs, like those renowned $600 toilet seats for the military. Now it's time for the piper (the baby-boomers) to be paid/receive their promised and paid-for benefits, motherf*ckers of Simpson's ilk want to slash benefits. No name/term in the English language imo is foul enough to come close to adequately portraying any/all of those of his ideological ilk who will lie, misinform, and prevaricate with the hypocrisy, mendacity, callousness, and disingenuousness of a two-bit political whore. :P

Edited to add an and

[COLGATE4]

23. Vile acid-tongued Rethuglican of the first order. Save the rich,

fuck over the poor and middle class while all the time assailing them with sarcasm which passes any civilized bounds - "Get a real job", etc. The astonishing part is that Obama dragged his sorry ass out of retirement and put him heading up the Cat Food Commission whose goal is to find a way to gut Social Security so they can "drown it in a bathtub". Nasty bastard!

[Joanne98]

24. ASSHOLE!

[bulloney]

26. Since we're into 'tits' analogies, Simpson is as worthless as tits on a boar.

[librechik]

29. and war is a herd of hungry mad calves all clamoring to be the first in line

and shoving all the other calves out of the way.

[KamaAina]

30. I'm gonna need some industrial-strength brain bleach

to purge my head of that image. Thanks, Simpson. (Are you sure you're not related to Homer?)

[Downwinder]

37. more like 310 million iv's.

[SoapBox]

38. CONTACT the White House HERE and demand Simpson's removal

Contact the White House and tell President Obama that Simpson must be removed. PERIOD.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

[KansDem]

39. I guess I don't quite understand this...

Is he saying the 310 million tits are the American taxpayers and Social Security recipients are sucking off them?

If so, that seems a bit brash...

[Kali]

40. it's TEATS

at least for normal cow/udder situations

[dflprincess]

42. Olbermann and a guest went after the Catfood Commission and Simpson hard tonight

It was the first bit of hope I've had.

Keith said flat out that Social Security should be removed from the Deficit Commission's Discussions. He made it clear that a cut in benefits is not acceptable and neither is a raise in the retirement age.

If the Democrats do go forward with this scam at least we can take comfort that there are a few in the media that will rip them new ones.

[ProudDad]

43. Alan Simpson is a double-anus -- the one on top with a convex surface (n/t)

[ProudDad]

44. Don't forget this asshole was the point man on the Judiciary Committee

whose job it was to go after Anita Hill thereby short circuiting any real investigation into clarence thomas' incompetence to be a Supreme Court Justice.

So, in a way, we have this fucker to thank for that execrable POS clarence being on the Supreme Court.

Now, WHY THE HELL DID OBAMA APPOINT THIS JERK?

[KamaAina]

46. The real news here

is that Alan Simpson can count to 310 million. :dunce:
