DEL.ICIO.USNow, if Obama ordered up a Camouflage Ball, Westmoreland would think about it
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some people just aren’t meant to foxtrot.
While it seems that half the toes in the nation will try to squeeze into the Size 2 shoe that is the District of Columbia on Tuesday, certain people are determined to stay away.
McClatchy News Service is reporting that our own U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a Republican from Coweta County (who used an unfortunate word to describe the First Couple during the 2008 campaign), has declared himself out-of-town until Wednesday:
“He’s a Republican and this is a Democratic — with a lowercase ‘p’ — party function,” said Brian Robinson, Westmoreland’s spokesman. “Plus it’s going to be 10 degrees and crowded. (Westmoreland) is not a huge pomp and circumstance kind of guy anyway. Put him in a field with a gun at a turkey shoot and he’ll be good to go. If Obama had a turkey shoot, Lynn would be there.”
In the same article, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss exudes all the grace of a fellow who has survived a close call, and is ready to wish good health to all the world — regardless of creed or party:
“The inauguration of President Obama will be one of the most significant moments in our nation’s history,” Chambliss said. “Importantly, it will be wonderful to witness the number of people from around the nation who have engaged in the political process.”

With all of the blantant Obamasims that we are forced to see in the media, I have still not heard one word about the Stem-winder that Plugs will give on Tuesday. I am eagerly awaitng the speech from Biden. It seems that Biden gets no coverage. Why?

Correct me if Im wrong, but did Lynn Westmoreland graduate from high school? I know he’s a member of congress without a college degree….there ‘s your answer

Lynn might not have a college degree but he’s surrounded by a field of idiots with the Congress dimwits like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barney Franks to mention a few. If those 3 have degrees, it must be in double talk and stupidity! He’s got more sense in his big toe that those 3 put together!

What is the point of this comment section? Every article does not need a comment section.

So “Barry” says we’re supposed to make nice with the sociopaths and grow beyond the old politics.
Fine.
There are Republicans….who are capable of recognizing that Bush was a bad president (not part of the 22%)….
And then there are sociopaths, who call the President “Barry.”
See? I’m being nice to the human beings.
After all, the sociopaths call liberals orcs and commie mutant traitors and stuff, and since it takes one to know one, they must not be human.
And animals aren’t that evil.
