Egad this is shocking prepare to be shocked it is so shocking:
"When [President George W. Bush] was in office, [Republicans] had a majority; it wasn't 60, it wasn't more than 60, but they pushed through all of these bills," the questioner began. "But when we have 58, we seem to not be able to move things as progressively as many of us here would want, as Obama wants. ... how were they Republicans able to push things through when they had less than 60 sens, but we cant?"
That's when the first slip happened. "Well the answer to that is, they're a**holes," Jones said, prompting audience applause.
"I was afraid that was the answer," the questioner replied.
Jones, however, continued his casual rant. "And Barack Obama is not an a**hole. Now, I will say this: I can be an a**hole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama, are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity [to get things done]."
Inevitably, the usual gang of conservative assholes are acting like assholes because they just got called assholes. It's what assholes do! Here is the Gateway Asshole:
At a question and answer session on why Barack Obama was not ramming through enough socialist bills fast enough, Barack Obama's communist Green Czar Van Jones answers,
Because Republicans "are a$$holes."
The use of the dollar sign is funny: quite appropriate for these assholes. The "communist" link goes to a page that proves that recently "During a six-minute biographical profile, set to ominous music, [Glenn] Beck said Jones was twice arrested for political protests and has described himself as a 'rowdy black nationalist.' The talk show host cast the piece as part of a broader examination of Obama's 'czars,' special advisers to the president who 'don't answer to anybody.'" So these assholes are red-baiting a black Green. Colorful! Crazy assholes.
And the Gateway Asshole has more!
Which is funny; I too am outraged at how Nancy Pelosi has totally ignored the House filibuster rules (!). Perhaps the Gateway Asshole is simply unaware that the question Jones was answering was specifically about the Senate, where the GOP has indeed been filibustering (or just saying they will) as no Senate has filibustered before? Or else maybe the Gateway Pundit is a stupid asshole? Who knows!
And then this asshole gleefully cackles that Jones calling Senate Republicans "assholes" means that it's hypocritical to try to get advertisers to boycott Glenn Beck. No, I don't get it either. I mean, to think that, you'd kind of have to be a kooky asshole, no?
Anyway, none of this should mean that Senate Democrats aren't assholes for putting up with this ridiculous new supermajority-rule bullshit.
