It only gets worse

If you liked the bailout, stimulus and the latest pork laden 410 billion dollar budget bill, you’ll love these tidbits:

Nanny Pelosi thinks it’s “very patriotic” for illegal aliens to gather to listen to her ramble on and pander to them, but she thinks it’s un-American for immigration officials to enforce the laws SHE PASSED! Coming from anyone else, this would sound incredibly stupid. Coming from Nanny, it goes down as one of her more lucid moments.

While windbags in Washington get all wound around the axel about the $145 million AIG paid out as bonuses to the very people who flew the company into the ground and now refuse to kill themselves, Fannie and Freddie (the proximate cause of all this turmoil) plan to pay out millions to just four execs. And, none of the gasbags grilling “Heck of a job Liddy” yesterday have shown the slightest interest in recouping the 90 Million Franklin Raines ripped off from Fannie.

What happens when your organization is charged with voter fraud in more than a dozen states? A Justice Department probe? Nah. FBI raids on your offices? Nah. Public outrage? No, hell no. Investigative reporters pouring over every transaction and background investigations on the people serving on your Board? Media investigate - Puleeeez. Well, if it was a conservative group caught in fraud all of the above and much more. But, if you are ACORN, you get asked to provide canvassers for the 2010 census. Hey, what could wrong? Why worry about an organization that registered Mickey Mouse to vote…10,000 times…in every precinct in America? Hey the census is just the instrument that determines where the members of the House of Representatives will come from. It is just the means by which government welfare outlays are determined. No problem. I'm sure ACORN will count every one of Nanny Pelosi's "very patriotic Americans" 10 or 12 times each.

The very busy Dear Leader took time out from his comedy tour (he does his routine on Leno tonight) to make “his” March madness predictions. Turns out “his” predictions look eerily similar to computer picks made by Joel Sokol, a Georgia Tech professor. Sokol’s statistical model correctly selected the Final Four, championship game and winner of last year's tournament. This is very Bidenesque. The Dear Leader ripping off a computer nerd without so much as a hat tip. And why is the Dear Leader of the United States interested in this stuff? Seems to me he ought to keep his yap shut and support all 64 teams. Last and this is tricky. Isn’t it just a bit of racist stereotyping for ESPN to be portraying the first black Dear Leader as a basketball maven? This reminds of the time Michael Scott recruits Stanley - the only black guy in “The Office” – to be on his basketball team. No matter how many times Stanley tells Michael he can’t play and doesn’t give a wit about the game, Michael insists that Stanley must be able to play because he’s black. So the Dear Leader rips off some computer guy off and looks like a genius. I’m sure Slow Joe came up with this idea. I'm rooting the #16 against UNC.

Where is the Nat'l Org of Women(NOW)? Our dear leader has not recognized that there is an NCAA Womens BB Tourney. Was this was an intentional or unintentional slight? Is it recessed sexism or a blantant acknowlegment that he believes basketball is a "man's" game? The Griffin.
