With billions of federal stimulus and bailout money engorging lobbyists in Washington, I finally found a photo of one of these fat cats in the aftermath of visiting the public troth.
What is astonishing is that this particular fat cat appears slumped against the wall of Congress — unable to even walk to a waiting limo to return to K St.
So what about six years, 2001 to 2007, when Republicans controlled BOTH Congress and the Executive? I have read the Constitution. You have read no history.
Besides, your distorted little facts are all wrong. Clinton forged a budget cmpromise in 1993, with a modest tax hike for the super rich and a responsible budget. The right denounced it. NO Republicans voted for it. Jack Kemp predicted a recression. It led to eight years of budget sanity.
Now the Republicans have the utter gall to come along and claim credit.
Go back to your corn.
Gnome, Perhaps you never read the US Constitution for it specifies that Congress is in charge of appropriations and since Republicans controlled Congress when Clinton was President, I would guess it would be Republicans that should be congragulated for the balanced budget and surplus despite Bill Clinton being dragged kicking & screaming to the balanced budget.
Trough. Tough.
Now, really, can you imagine Karl Rove in that position, even if he could get into that position? He’d look a heck of a lot worse than that poor kitty. Karl Rove with a shaved belly. That’s my image of the day. Maybe I’ll go to church today.
rafflaw “That is one fat and sassy cat. It looks a little like Karl Rove to me.”
What an insult. To the cat.
My kitties directed me to type that 😉
Rafflaw, that is an insult to my feline friend.
Also, there is a common misconception that if it has four legs and chases cats, then it is a dog.
Wrong.
It is Mrs. Katz and her divorce lawyer.
Sorry. No treat for me, now.
That is one fat and sassy cat. It looks a little like Karl Rove to me.
I want to know who posted this picture of my male cat Stripey and then to inform them that use of this photo without his express permission is a violation of his privacy and possible cause of action. My (his) attorneys will be consulted forth with to begin the process of seeking legal redress. This holds this innocent 11 year old up to a ridicule he doesn’t deserve considering the valuable Gekko/Rodent elimination services he performs for us and his loyalty of waking me up every morning to provide him with sustenance.
Send in the dogs to do a thorough cleaning of their shit. Or, send in armed and pregnant Oklahoma women, re: toxoplasmosis.
Bill Clinton: I would’ve disabled North Korean missile
April 5, 2009 09:40 AM EST
Former President Bill Clinton told Fox News that he would have disabled the long-range missile before North Korea launched it, saying too many people “do not appreciate the scale of the threat that is evolving on the planet.”
“One morning, just like 9/11, there’s going to be a disaster,” Clinton said. “I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.”
Reacting to President Barack Obama’s speech in Prague, Clinton called the plan for a Global Summit on Nuclear Security a “wonderful fantasy idea,” saying Russia and other nations can’t be trusted.
“What are they going to promise, and why would we believe them?” Clinton said. “It’s very dangerous to have a fantasy foreign policy, and it can get you in enormous trouble.”
The new CEO was at a loss for words when asked about letting people go at GM that are not building cars.
The CEO tried to say everybody at GM was in the business of building cars. Oops.
David pointed out the hundred of Union officers paid by GM that do nothing but administer Union work.
Talk about a fat cat, the new CEO of GM said on MTP this AM he makes 1.3 million a year and won’t work for a dollar a year as the recently “fired” CEO did.
Fido:
Superb.

On the internet no one knows you are a dog.
Fido:
I had more than a touch of pity for the cat too. Good points all and you are to be commended for your compassion — and your amazing ability with the English language (not to mention your computer skills) surpassing even the most enlightened troll we come across here. I thought all you understood was “sit” and “roll-over.” Homo sapien hubris, indeed.
All you people should know that this pix is not really funny. We dogs and cats have no control over the food supply put out for us, and there is no excuse for the people who overfed my feline friend.
Please, people, deal with us as fellow sentient beings and be responsible.
The conmparison to K St and the Hill is unfair, since those folks have been gifted with intelligence and free choice and have freely elected to abuse their gifts.
Dear Monk. So vote Republican. The deficit under Bush and the Republican Congress went from 4 trillion to 10 trillion due to tax cuts for the super wealthy, after they had inherited a budget surplus from Clinton in 2001. But do not ever let anything like a fact interfere with your reasoning. Good luck.

“So far the Democratic party has bankrupted this nation with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, etc. all in buying votes and I am sick of it and will no longer vote for Democrats.”
****************
Good move. Now you can vote for those who would bankrupt the Country using wars of convenience, tax cutting for the rich, and giving free rein to any charlatan with an Armani and a business degree from Wharton. Your logic is impeccable.
Gerald Cassidy? It is you! This is clearly abusive . . . making cats work for lobby. That’s just one scant step away from prostitution and considerably more dishonest.
