John McCain Insults His Colleagues
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011It is not enough that the Tea Party members – those congressmen elected to office by promising to reduce spending along with the size of government – have to face malicious slurs from the media and liberals in general, but now members from the GOP ( perhaps in name only ) have taken it a step further.
John McCain, obviously frustrated with the conservatives unrelenting insistance that the debt ceiling not be raised and that spending be reeled in, took to the floor to refer to his party colleagues as hobbits:
Mr. McCain, perhaps you have lost your sense of vitality, your can-do attitude, but that is no reason to insult others who still have the political will to reach for the stars. Shame on you first, for attempting to insult them, and second for using a really poor analogy. Seriously, that was 1 out of 5 stars.
And, just as a passing note, if you might recall, hobbits, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, kicked some pretty serious hiney. Mr. McCain, since we are on the topic of analogies, I also wanted to mention to you that you remind me of Popeye sans spinach. I hope someday you find a can of spinach and reinvigorate yourself.
