Max Baucus took time out from appointing his mistress to high ranking office, giving her raises and flying her around the globe at taxpayers expense to deliver a "passionate defense" on the Senate floor about health care. Unfortunately some people are mistaking "passionate" for "drunk off his ass".
A spokesman for Baucus released the following statement: "When his friend of 30 years Ted Kennedy, with whom he had fought so hard to provide health care to children, was being used as a cheap foil to oppose health care reform, Senator Baucus gave a passionate defense.
Unfortunately, those who want to kill any meaningful reform, turned it into an unfounded, untrue personal smear internet rumor. This is beyond the pale and this type of gutter politics has no place in the public sphere. It is this type of slander that makes Montanans, and Americans, disgusted with the politics as usual in Washington. And what is even more sad is that such a personal attack would be given any validity at all, let alone being elevated to the status of īnewsī." - NPV
Well Baucus-Spokesman-Dude: untrue internet smears, gutter politics, elevating personal attacks to news, and slander beyond the pale is our business here at Dirtbag. And business is good.
And another thing. In the public relations world, when you have the choice between blaming your bossīs slurring, incoherent, off-balance behavior on booze or outright retardedness, you want to go with booze.
Update: When we posted this, the view counter on Youtube was 176k. Which was exactly the same as many hours prior, even though thousands of new comments had been posted to the video in that same time frame. Google owns YouTube. The CEO of Google is an Obama adviser. Googleīs slogan is "Donīt be evil". Would Google accidentally stop counting new views? Draw your own conclusions.
Why am I on a frigginī top 10 marathon lately? They suck to write and generally arenīt received as funny by any of you humorless Philistines anyway.
Anywhoooo, here are the top ten phrases that indicate you are about to be lied to.
10. Transparency
9. What [insert any group of people other than the person talking]īs want is...
8. One thing we can all agree on...
7. Beyond dispute
6. Honestly, I...
5. Session will come to order
China has the most people (1.3 billion) and produces more pollution than any other country on the planet. But they have a solution! Be more like us!
"Population and climate change are intertwined but the population issue has remained a blind spot when countries discuss ways to mitigate climate change and slow down global warming, according to Zhao Baige, vice-minister of National Population and Family Planning Commission of China (NPFPC).
"Dealing with climate change is not simply an issue of CO2 emission reduction but a comprehensive challenge involving political, economic, social, cultural and ecological issues, and the population concern fits right into the picture," said Zhao, who is a member of the Chinese government delegation." - Chinese Daily
Just a note. The Chinese method of population control is called forced abortions and female infanticide. That means killing off female babies up to the moment that they take their first breath. And apparently even that isnīt stopping their population, so what do they have in mind for us besides lead painted toys?
In Chinaīs defense, I stayed at the Holiday Inn near Doumen China, and their breakfast buffet was off the hook.
Matt Ziesel is a high schooler that suits up for the football team as a retarded, 5ī3", 105 pounder. I donīt mean retarded like I normally mean retarded. The kid is actually retarded. I also played high school football but only had two of the three handicaps Matt has. Anyway, Mattīs team was getting shut out 46 to 0 with 10 seconds left in the game when Mattīs coach asked the opposing coach if they would let Matt score a touchdown without the defense touching him. Witness the scene below.
Iīm confused about the lesson this sends to the other players. Can one of those defenders play in a Special Olympics game to see what its like to do a full speed spear tackle on a cripple? Iīm also confused why this "news" is on the homepage of MSNBC. What Iīm perfectly clear about is that none of those players on the defending team ever has a chance of playing for the Oakland Raiders.
In any event, this video is a metaphor. The retard is a politician and the defense is an ethics committee. The coaches are you and me, for letting it happen.
