Rep. Louise Slaughter: "I'm Not Doing Town Hall Meetings; I'm Not Giving These People a Forum"
Bonus: The Pete Stark Plan for Prosperity!

Caught on tape, which wasn't hard, as she proclaimed her unwillingness to let the American electorate speak in a radio interview.

Damn, I'd wanted to link this last night.

And I didn't really see any point in linking Pete Stark's statement, " “Get the f**k out of here or I’ll throw you out the window.”

It's Pete Stark. He's a lunatic and he says such things all the time.

Here, Pete Stark informs an interviewer that it's good to have a huge national debt, because the more we borrow, the wealthier we are.

The interviewer inquires further along these novel economic lines, asking Stark if we should then just borrow a couple of trillion more and become even wealthier still.

Eventually he becomes angry as he's unable to explain his way out of his retardation. He plays the typical "You didn't go to a good school" card (this from the guy claiming we can borrow our way into wealth!) and when that doesn't work, he just rips off the microphone and storms out... with a threat.

These are the people running the country. Normally I would say "Pete Stark really has no power," but he does with this crew. Obama is playing hard to the leftist lunatic base. So yes, Pete Stark, usually just an intemperate imbecile kept safely away from scissors, now really does have some clout.

Oddly enough, we heard no suggestions that Bush was making us rich through his relatively tiny $400 billion deficits. Only now, in 1 A.B. (After Barack), do we learn that basic mathematics has been repealed.
