Ho hum, more Demo-Dope hypocrisy

The fact that Demo-Dope hypocrisy is so common place that is no longer makes the news cycle and no one can be surprised by it no matter how blatant, is a bad thing. As a result, Demo-Dopes are an arrogant bunch and completely without shame.

Exhibit one: Here tax cheat Charlie Rangel tells a tax payer asking Rangel about his tax cheating ways to “mind your own damn business.” Arrogant? That statement is arrogant beyond belief. It is our business Charlie. You write the tax code. But you are either too stupid or too dishonest to follow it (you chose which). That bit of Washington insider corruption is John Q. Public’s business Charlie. Shameless? Sure it is. How would you react if caught in this predicament? Most of us would be apologetic. “Oh jeez, I really fouled up. Please forgive me and allow me to make payment in full. As a result of my mistakes I promise to look closely at our tax laws and try to simplify the code.” But these shameless arrogant bastards tell us to shut up and mind our own business. It’s like your wife walking in and catching you trying on her thong underwear and bras. Instead of saying, “Oh my, I guess I’d better get myself some counseling,” you scream at her, “get the hell out of here and mind your own damn business.” I think it is her legitimate business to know that her husband is a cross dresser – at best.

Exhibit two: Grandma Pelosi and the rest of the Demo-Dope leadership lambasted auto execs for flying private aircraft to Washington for their Congressional testimony. Never mind that time is the most precious commodity of people with great responsibility. Ask any mom with two or three kids running around the house. But now news has leaked out that Nanny Pelosi has been using the U.S. Air Force as her own Jet Blue.

See if these tidbits from Judicial Watch strike you as shameless arrogance:

In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, "Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi's team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?...[T]here's no need to block every weekend 'just in case'..." The email also notes that Pelosi's office had, "a history of canceling many of their past requests."
One DOD official complained about the "hidden costs" associated with the speaker's last minute changes and cancellations. "We have...folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc."

The documents include a discussion of House Ethics rules and Defense Department policies as they apply to the speaker's requests for staff, spouses and extended family to accompany her on military aircraft. In May 2008, for example, Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODEL's into combat zones.

Documents obtained from the U.S. Army include correspondence from Speaker Pelosi's office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled "Operation Tribute" was an "exception to standard policy."

The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. "It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable...The speaker will want to know where the planes are..." wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker."

During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of "crew rest requirements" and offered to help secure commercial travel. Kay King responded: "We appreciate the efforts to help the codel [sic] fly commercially but you know the problem that creates with spouses. If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that."


Exhibit last: After campaigning on and promising an end to earmark spending, the Dear Leader is about to sign a spending bill laden with earmarks. The Demo-Dope strategy is to blame all of the pork on…drum roll here…George Bush. Shameless arrogant hypocrisy? Sure it is. But who’s going to notice?
