Apparently Congressman Joe Sestak is back in good graces at the White House as Robert Gibbs incorporated the Representative’s favorite phrase into his WH jargon.
When asked if some Gulf residents weren’t over-reacting to Tony Hayward’s sailing vacation, Gibbs answered with, “Make no mistake, at the end of the day, this is a big fucking deal!!”
President Obama has declared no more Mr. Nice Guy. First, he was simply going to put his boot on BP’s throat, but now he’s getting serious. He is threating to kick some ass. He’s just not sure yet whose ass he’s going to kick, but it’s going to be someones. Talk about over-compensating. I figure any minute now, Press Secretary Gibbs is going to release a picture of Obama with a bandanna around his head, wearing steel toed boots and toting an AK-47.
I guess now we’re going to have to listen to President Rambo regale us with stories of how his daughter comes into his bath room every morning asking, “whose ass did you kick today, Daddy?”
President Obama this morning angerly warned BP that it better not pay out millions of dollars in stock dividends to the shareholders while it was “nickel and diming” the residents and business interests in the Gulf area.
When it was pointed out to the President that millions of people including retirees and pension funds depend on the dividend income to help pay for living expenses he immediately assailed BP for considering a dividend cut . ”My daughter interrupted a cabinet meeting this afternoon,” the President explained, “and asked, ‘Daddy have you paid the dividend been paid yet’?'” He promised her he would not let BP ”nickel and dime” the American shareholder as he outlined a six-billion dollar stimulus plan for all BP shareholders.
Best sub-headline of the Boston Globe this week…”Obama’s aunt is granted asylum…critics contend politics played role in decision!” Do you think??
Neither the President or his spokesperson had any comment on the decision in favor of his aunt, Zeituni Onyango, who has been living illegally in the US since 2000.
Boston Mayor Thomas “Mumbles” Menino has wasted no time in reacting to Arizona’s new draconian policy toward illegal immigrants. Recognizing that illegals may not be able to trek their way through the former Arizona gateway to Boston, the Mayor with the backing of the Boston City Council, has announced a 25-million-dollar plan to fly illegal immigrants directly from Juarez, Mexico to Boston’s Logan airport.
“To treat illegal immigrants as criminals is abhorrent”, the Mayor claimed in his announcement. When asked if the very word illegal wasn’t defined as not legal, i.e. criminal, the Mayor responded that he didn’t need any smart-ass college type reporter parsing his words. The Mayor spoke for a few more minutes, but the best anyone could make out was, “mmhwha musha bublleme… ” or something like it.
The Mayor did admit later he had no idea what parsing meant. Or abhorrent.
