Dear Michigan readers:
Do you know that a Republican named Thaddeus McCotter is representing you in the House? Do you know what he's doing there?
I just learned from Wonkette that Thaddeus McCotter (R-Michigan) represents your 11th District. Any 11th District voters here?
So this asswipe actually got up in the House and made a speech about what Democrats "really mean" when they talk. Yes, you guessed it, we are closet socialists who speak in code that only true tough-guy Republicans can translate.
Some of the highlights from this hilarious comedy act:
"We're going to learn how to speak Democrat today."
Oh yeah, it gets better.
It's a very revealing insight into the paleo-conservative mind.
Thad demonstrates how their Orwellian mindset works.
According to Thad:
"Government = socialism"
"Diplomacy = magic"
"Engage = appease"
"Progressive = regressive"
"Change = The 1970's"
"Invest = waste"
"Green collar jobs = unemployment"
"The rich= you"
Worse yet, he thinks he's funny. Imagine him drunk at your wedding.
He is funny in one way, as a caricature of a clueless conservative who knows nothing about the outside world and doesn't realize that he is already a dinosaur. Now that's funny!
"I hope this exercise has been instructive."
Oh it has, Thad, It has.
Can we add this guy to the "find a challenger and get him out of Congress" list?
Please?
