Dumb Letters to the Plain Dealer, Part 463: A man drinks rotgut whiskey & picks up his crayon . .

Today's microcephalic hails from Mayfield Heights (why is it always Cleveland's SUBURBS that spew these know-nothing dopes?). It's about retiring Bewsh II rubberstamp George Voinovich and one of his "broken clock, twice a day" moments, which kind of gives you an insight on just how fanatic the Bircher right is about their "not conservative ENOUGH" meme." Someone take this man's Firewater away before his stomach explodes . . . .

I never considered Sen. Sherrod Brown to be a particularly humorous guy, but I got a good laugh when I saw him quoted in The Plain Dealer as praising Sen. George Voinovich for his bipartisanship. Brown is a Democrat, you see, and Democrats' definition of bipartisanship is: "Republicans cave in and do things our way." How that works out has been amply demonstrated in the past two years, as Democrats, totally freezing Republicans out of the process, have passed some of the most "gawd" awful legislation in the history of the republic.

(aside: I mean, there really aren't enough :wtf: s for this utterly insane and delusional "observation", but read on . . . )

But this is about Voinovich. Although I voted for him every chance I got, I'm afraid that my lasting memory of him will be from 2005, when he single-handedly scuttled President George W. Bush's nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations. Bolton was the smartest, shrewdest, toughest person to ever fill that job, which is to say he was the perfect person to do it. But Voinovich, in a petty little snit of egotism, decided to frustrate a president of his own party on a matter of foreign policy. Unfortunately, it was the United States that ended up the worse for it.

I mean . . . just. Amazing.

What do you add to that?

If stupid were Sanskrit, this guy would be the Mahabharata.

This is what we're up against.

We're up against people who straight up live in a fantasy world. An alternative universe, an imagined batch of weirdness where up is down, right is often too left and "Demmycraps are to blame for EVERAHthin!"

GOP should get the credit

I wanted to point out that President Barrack Obama proposed to let the current tax rates, as established under the Bush administration, expire, thus increasing marginal rates on all Americans, by as much as 14 percent. Republicans in the House, inspired by their historic November gains, proposed making those rates permanent. The president did hold out to include a 50 week extension of unemployment benefits for those Americans who have been receiving them for 99 weeks already, and the GOP leadership insisted those benefits be funded by unused/returned stimulus monies.

The current anger directed at the president comes from his own party because he acquiesced to incoming GOP House leadership in this matter.

I appreciate your balanced coverage of the national political stage, but in this case it was the GOP who assured that Americans would not be saddled with a large tax increase, not the president! It is these simple cases that give cause to the belief there is a great liberal bias in the media, which I know, which I hope, the Marion Chronicle-Tribune does not intend.

3. This is the result of too much FAUX News, Rush Limpballs, etc.

The bastards lie through their teeth, and the gullible people like Mr. McIlwain soak it up through their pores.

6. "The Chronicle-Tribune has a liberal bias."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
For two years I've read that tea-party rag only because I want something to relax with while taking a morning crap.

7. How anyone can think there's a liberal bias in the media is beyond me completely.

Someone actually said "left-leaning CNBC" once. Amazing. They must not watch this station at all, let alone for 8 hours a day like we have to (trading room). I think they're rivaling Faux in propaganda peddling.

And how is an expiration now an "increase"?? BLAME DUMBYA!!! He's the one who set the timebomb.

Deepest sympathy...:hug:

4. It could have been good whiskey

Too much of any kind can lead to the writing of stupid letters.

5. That "rotgut" is 40 bucks a bottle!
