In a bid for Tea Party GOP support, Romney 2012 pumps for “Amercia:”
“Oh, Jon! Did I ever tell you that I, Roger Ailes, plan to undermine the role of an independent press by constantly whining at any reportage that deviates from a staunch conservative narrative is biased, while at the same time filling the editorial vacuum that that creates by building a Conservative propaganda juggernaut in the guise of a news organization… Jon, I’m gonna call the organization Fox News, and its tagline will be — you’re gonna love this: ‘A Fanatically Micro-Managed Media Fiefdom Where My Own Far-Right Agenda And Personal Sense of Victomhood Drive Every Aspect of the Operation… and Balanced.’” –Jon Stewart, “recalling” a conversation with Fox News Chief Roger Ailes
“Mitt Romney pledged this week (that) if elected president, he will drive down unemployment to 6% or lower before the end of his first term. Well, it’s easy enough to do; all he has to do is re-hire the people he already fired.” –Jay Leno
“This Facebook fiasco is one of the biggest clusterf**ks ever on Wall Street. Regular people got screwed and the banks and the insiders did okay. Or as Mitt Romney calls it, ‘The American Dream.’” –Bill Maher
“A new biography came out that says that in high school Obama was a huge pothead … Mitt Romney had to respond to this and said, ‘It is appalling that Obama spent his teenage years goofing around and smoking pot when he should have been pinning down gay kids and cutting their hair.” –Bill Maher
Massachusetts Illinois Republican Rep. Mike Bost, with poise and maturity typical of today’s GOP, objects to the power of the state’s legislative leadership.
“And they say they’re not going to make the same mistake as they did last time. They’re going to do a much more thorough job vetting than McCain did with you-know-who. They said this time they’re going to ask probing questions like, ‘Can you read? And ‘How many fingers am I holding up?’” –Bill Maher
“Mitt Romney is trying to get the Latino vote … He maintains he’s always had a great relationship with the Latinos in his life, as long as they don’t wake him up with the leaf blower.” –Bill Maher
“Mitt Romney comes from a Mormon background. I don’t know how many wives he has. I’m not saying that I believe in that, I’m just saying he was born on a Mormon compound. I’m not a ‘Wifer’ but for some reason he’s never shown his original marriage certificate.” –Bill Maher, counters “Birthers” by creating a Romney ‘Wifer’ controversy
“Here’s an election update. Today Mitt Romney met with a group of wealthy Latino business owners. Or as Romney calls them, ‘the Juan percent.’” –Jimmy Fallon
“Four Secret Service agents fired for that sex scandal decided to fight their dismissal. The lawyer said they didn’t realize the women were prostitutes. Is that the best argument when you’re trying to get your job back in the Secret Service? These guys are supposed to be experts at picking people out of a crowd. Can’t spot a hooker? Really” –Jay Leno

A DINO like Finneran but far more successful at his job and maintaining his thirty year grip on the state and putting his daughter in the AGs office so he doesn’t get investigated. I know little about Mike Bost but my guess is he is the typical downstate Republican that gets a 100% rating from the ACU and I’d disagree with him on most issues. But he is right to be mad at Madigan.
The man looks completely ridiculous, and I can’t imagine he has helped his constituents. The only way he could have improved his act is if he had jumped up on the desk and stripped down to his shorts.
But if I can name one figure who has singlehandedly impeded progressive policies in Illinois it’d be Michael Madigan.
Happy days.
