From each according to his ability, to each according to his sweet tooth

This week, The Hill newspaper in Washington asked select members of Congress the following question:

What one trait bothers you most in another person?

Replied U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Savannah): “Not sharing your dessert. I really resent it when I reach across the table for some ice cream and they get resentful because I double-dip the spoon and they have a little sniffle or something.”

So some Republicans do condone the forced redistribution of wealth. But only if followed by cigars.

Jack Kingston, a giant intellect. This clown will probably be a senator one day just because he looks good on TV. And he knows how and when to turn on the Southern accent. The term “empty suit” fits perfectly with Jack-O.
