Beldarblog is written by a Houston area lawyer who mostly fizzled out for a while after the 2004 election, but has come back with some great stuff in recent months. This lil snippet, written in the wake of Rita, is priceless:
I’d a whole lot rather listen to the second assistant deputy chief fire marshall for Hedwig Village at a Hurricane Rita press conference than to any CongressCritter of either party.
The CongressCritters ought to have to wear placards around their necks — or maybe better yet, those sashes, like beauty pageant contestants wear — labeled with phrases like:
- “Useless Panderer”
- “Only Here for the Graft”
- “Harbors Delusions of Relevance” or
- “Do You KNOW Who I Am? (And why should care right now?)”
Sounds about right to me. How about adding,
- “I couldn’t think of anything useful to do with my life, so I became a congresscritter”
- “Pork, pork, pork, pork, porkety-pork, porkety-pork!”
Note: added the link to the Spam Song, cos, well, it’s sooooo appropriate.
