Senators McCain and Kirk Share a Laugh Over Death of the Omnibus Bill

Most days I just want to slap John McCain. Every day I'm grateful he's not the president. Every damn day. Not because he's a Republican, but because he's a nasty, mean man with a heart of stone and a hate on for every person who isn't white, rich and nasty like him.

But today, I found myself wishing he'd vaporize on the floor of the Senate. For every person who pays tribute to McCain's selfless service, blah, blah, blah, I want them to watch this video over and over and over again until they understand what a petty, two-faced liar he is.

There's no question in my mind that Kirk was the instigator to shove a jab at Democrats, given that Kirk now occupies the Senate seat once held by President Obama. Here's a transcript (h/t Talking Points Memo) but really, watch the video.

Kirk, the most junior member of the Senate asked, "Did we just win?"

McCain responded, "I think there's very little doubt that the Majority Leader of the United States Senate would not have taken the action he just took if we didn't have 41 votes to stop this monstrosity."

Kirk continued, "so for economic conservatives, a 1,924-page bill just died?

"A 1,924-page bill just died," McCain responded laughing.

TPM doesn't have the best line where, as he continues to laugh, McCain says he was having "fun" with the earmarks, but it's in the video. Of course, he fails to state that many of the earmarks were inserted by members of his own party for the sole purpose of entertaining him.

To which I fly my middle finger at the screen and find myself trying not to leap through it to grab his chicken neck and shake him like a wet carpet with cat hair attached.

1. We dodged a bullet....

Such a worthless, senile, plastic, phoney old fart! God...we almost had this idiot as our President for FOUR WHOLE YEARS!! THANK YOU AMERICA!! We weren't dumb enough to buy that bill of goods.

What a pair of idiots. Gosh.....no mention that the repukkkes had a good portion of those pork expenditures. How novel. Of course, these two clowns try to make it appear as though the repukkkes saved the day. How stupid do we have to be??

2. Wow their focus on the size of the bill give the GOP the new name of

being Conservatives of paper?!?

And...since a whole mess of those earmarks were put in there by these very same pukes, what is the f'in point? These guys are clearly obstructionists. As well as hypocrites.

But lately their focus on the 'size' of the bill in pages is just soooo screwy. They again pander to the lowest common denominator that cannot/will not read!

Education I guess isnt just failing the poorest of Americans then - the wealthy (not all) are idiots.
