All Ye Sinners Gather ‘Round for Several Juicy Tales

I am certain when Diane Watson, my least favorite liberal of all, was a little girl, she was different from all of her playmates, loudmouthed, ill-mannered, bossy, which, by golly, is what she grew up to be.

Besides growing insufferably brassy, the Democratic Congresswoman who is said to represent this section of Los Angeles but actually plays well at being invisible, reminds me of an old broad — she was born old — who would watch an arsonist torch a building, then dip into her cheerleading mode.

Dead people have been voted into Congress. So it is no compliment to her that uninformed and distinterested voters keep returning Rep. Watson to Washington.

You never will find the generally gutless Congresswoman at the front of any moral crusade. She keeps feeling a need to prove this point.



Are You Really Ladies or Broads?

She and her equally trashy-mouthed colleague, the Washington D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes-Norton, are two of the most dependable boobs in the House of Representatives.

This morning, the two old dames are back in the news. As members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Grandma Goofy I and Grandma Goofy II have balked at continuing to channel federal funds into abstinence-only sex education programs in America’s schools. Naturally.

What irritated me about Rep. Watson’s objections was this telling statement: “We deal with the realities of our diversified communities,” which presumably means why would you stop kids from doing what they want to do, when and where they want to do it.

Rep. Holmes Norton wondered why teenagers have to be told no at all. “The concern that many of us have with abstinence-only programs,” she said, “is the idea that one size fits all…”



New Reasons

Every morning I wake up to the news that more Democrats have given us fresh reasons to oppose them.

How about the Mexican Muppet acting up again?

Mayor I Love Me of Los Angeles seems determined to embarrass himself in two out of every three public appearances.

The nuttiest wing of his supporters — union members, clergy and activists, all of the yes people — surrounded him yesterday morning when Mayor I Love Me announced yet another new policy that defies sensibility.


Room for Anybody Else

Mayor I Love Me said that henceforth any project that receives $1 million or more in funds from the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles will be forced to forge a labor agreement with unions. No choice.

The ethnic-obsessed Mayor, permanently trolling for votes for his next office, said the Redevelopment Agency policy also will guarantee that 30 percent of all construction jobs go to residents within a three-mile radius of the development. Wait until they come to my neighborhood.

Welcome to the Land of the Free and the home of bad-breath Democratic demagogues.

Further, the redevelopment policy states that 10 percent of all the jobs must go to workers involved in apprentice programs.

I feel so free after learning about all of those restrictions…


Let’s Not Tell Anyone

When you see a lengthy story about a crooked politician in the newspaper these days, and his party is not identified, you know that it is Democrats doing their best Ted Cooke imitation, diving under a table, shutting their eyes and holding one hand over both ears so that no one in authority will know who or where they are.

On page 18 of yesterday’s New York Times, America’s most dishonest metropolitan newspaper played a child’s game of Hide ‘n Seek again to cover the newest Democratic sins.

It seems that the problematic Democratic Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, hired one of his donors, one Ali Ata — said to be a native of Ireland, but I doubt it — for a sensitive state position, executive director of the Illinois Finance Authority.

Mr. Ata (boy) pleaded guilty to lying to a federal agent when he denied receiving a payoff for his part in the Governor’s campaign.

The tale is so slimy, all of us probably should listen with gloves on.

It seems that Mr. Ata (boy), the erstwhile Irishman, admitted that he took a $25,000 check to a meeting with Mr. Blagojevich and Oily Tony Rezko — Barack Obama’s crooked pal. Mr. Rezko, it seems, told Mr. Blagojevich that the erstwhile Irishman “had been a good supporter and team player” and “would be willing to join” Mr. Blagojevich’s administration.


Another Handout

Mr. Ata (boy), who can’t keep his hands off of his wallet, also made a $5,000 donation to the formerly pure Mr. Obama.

Amidst this wonderful sea of moral grease, the ever alert New York Times, by golly whiz-bang, just accidentally overlooked the fact that all of these slugs are Democrats.

What a wonderful liberal world liberal demagogues have created for us. So neat and cool that they have banned the term “liberal” and demanded that everyone identify himself as a “progressive,” as they progress from the free world to behind bars…
