How to Retaliate for Van Jones

[jmowreader]

The Pukes won this round. They got Van Jones. They ran off one of the thorns in their sides. Calling Republicans assholes? Oh my. That simply won't do.

Trust me when I say the Republicans would retaliate instantly if we would have done something to one of their people, so it's past time we did something to them. Here's what we need to do:

1. Arrest George W. Bush and charge him with the murders of Jason L. Dunham, Ross McGinnis, Michael Monsoor and Paul Smith. (These are the four Operation Iraqi Freedom Medal of Honor recipients.) We can't just charge Shrub with the deaths of three thousand Americans on 9/11 and five thousand in Iraq, even though he's responsible for them all, because the numbers are too high to wrap your head around and the trial would take decades. But we can nail the son of a bitch for the deaths of four heroes on the theory that since Shrub sent these men off to die in a war of George W. Bush's own making, he murdered them. Seek the death penalty.

2. Bust Pigboy for inciting disorderly conduct. The fucker's been pushing the teabaggers and town hall disruptors, right?

3. I would say "nail Grover Norquist for his role in bankrupting the country," but no one except serious political junkies knows who he is, so forget that. He still needs to go to prison, though.

4. Sue Fox News for misrepresentation, since Fox's primary mission is to serve as propagandists for the extreme political right but they claim to be a legitimate news outlet. Fox occasionally plays "news," but it's always slanted to make the Left look as bad as possible, including listing every frog-marched Republican of the last ten years as a Democrat...and besides, a lot of stations occasionally play news and no one ever confused them with legitimate news outlets. I'm thinking MTV here.

5. Bust Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity for their roles in the tea party bullshit.

6. Throw Sarah Palin in jail for perjury. It's perfectly fine to make policy statements. It's perfectly fine for people who have no authority to make official policy statements to call their little outbursts policy statements. But if you're going to call your little outburst a policy statement, it can't be just shit you pulled out of your ass and Sarah Palin's so-called policy statements have been exactly that.

7. Find some loophole in the Congressional rules that will prohibit Republicans from introducing legislation, serving on committees, attending floor sessions of either the House or Senate, or voting on bills.

The Republicans would do it. It's time we started.

1. Just heard on AM: Obama must come clean (i.e. "apologize") for hiring Van Jones

Next demand will be for him to deport himself to Kenya.

3. Okay, fine. Let's have a joint press conference

At it, Obama will apologize for hiring an opinionated man to serve as a third-level functionary on a White House advisory council, and George W. Bush will apologize for hiring a man so completely incompetent he got fired from his last pre-government job for not being able to shovel horse shit to RUN the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

2. Wouldn't #1 come back on President Obama somehow

If Bush is responsible for soldiers deaths under his administration, wouldn't that set President Obama up to be responsible for the soldiers deaths under his watch?

4. There's a difference here

George Bush started the war. Therefore, any American deaths during it are 100 percent the responsibility of George Bush, since if George Bush hadn't started the war those people wouldn't have died in the war.

Finding Bush culpable for murder could also have the effect of causing President Obama to not send any more soldiers to said war. Just tell the ones that are there to start training Iraqis faster and packing their shit.

5. OBama will be responsible if he lies us into war. He is responsible if he does not get us out

7. I still don't understand why Van Jones couldn't stay in his job.

I know about the Republican assholes and Bush crackhead stuff. He didn't shoot anyone in the face, though.
