everybody say hi to Max Baucus, who isn’t sure how he’ll be voting on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

So this ratfucker is going to join up with Dave “the Shitter” Vitter?

Do we have to keep pretending Baucus is a Democrat?

I wonder if the people of Montana can get up to $4500 government cash if they trade in Max Baucus? And they’ll get their money doubled if they trade him in on a new Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep product. Your average Sebring couldn’t be a worse senator than Box-ass.

Between Baucus (Montana) and Enzi (Wyoming), I am disappointed that the Founding Fathers did not foresee the rapid expansion of the United States all of the way to the Pacific Ocean, thereby necessitating the arbitrary squaring off of gigantic, barren states sparsely populated only by the mouthbreathing descendants of losers who couldn’t make it all of the way to California back in the day. That would have killed the “two Senators per state, however crappy” rule early in the Constitutional convention.

It’s Crystal Pepsi. Not “Pepsi Clear”.

Max Baucus is an ass and the dems and wimps. I don’t understand what happend to Barry’s Chicago way – dude is being pushed around and he can’t even sell his health care.

Where were these fucking Blue Dogs when Booosh was stomping all over the economiez? Fuck you.

I’m predicting Homeless Baby™ calendars will be a big hit for Xmas this year.
So cute in little hobo outfits! Awwwww.

[re=375227]Dreamer[/re]: The Democrats lack discipline, courage, and even competence at this point. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Being a pack of yeast-infected and incontinent pussies. &c.

ForTheTurnstiles July 31, 2009 at 9:29 am

[re=375235]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: And they’re still doing better than the GOP on this.

Sadly, while it may have increased, babies in shelters are not a new thing. We have a number of shelters that take families in the DC metro area.

ManchuCandidate July 31, 2009 at 9:34 am

Blue Dogs, the reason why the Demrats have been so ineffective since the 60s. Way to go!!

queeraselvis v 2.0 July 31, 2009 at 9:38 am

Baucus deserves to be introduced to an electric cattle prod… up the butt, preferably. Just sayin’. Also.

freakishlystrong July 31, 2009 at 9:40 am

This is infuriating. Just as with the Stim, we will see a watered-down, “bi-partisan” health care bill,(read; compromised to suit the minority wingnuts), designed to fail on purpose. Then, after they’ve destroyed any meaningful reform, not one Republican will vote for it, NOT ONE.

Naked Bunny with a Whip July 31, 2009 at 9:41 am

Those babies are obviously lazy and choose to be homeless.

hobospacejunkie July 31, 2009 at 9:42 am

You Honor, permission to treat the witness as hostile? And to take this anvil-headed fucknutz out back for a Diallo-style arrest. What a fucking drama queen. I hope his constituents hate him.

Oh, and a big FUCK YOU to the Founding Fathers for not giving us a multi-party parliamentary style of government. Yeah, they were big fuckin’ geniuses.

x111e7thst July 31, 2009 at 9:42 am

What the Democrats need is single person, maybe a radio talk sort of guy, to get them all toeing the line and pointed in the same direction. Then they could grovel at his feet and kiss his ass while he pointed out the instances when they had strayed.

TGY July 31, 2009 at 9:44 am

Blue dogs? Makes you appreciate St. Henry the Man of Wax.

I sure hope there’s horsehead waiting for Max back at his ranch.

Max Baucus, Max Baucus / kick him in (and out of) the caucus

I’m not surprised Rep. Tanner is a blue dog hypocrite, but Gordon surprises me a bit.

In other news, I went and saw “Barack Stars” again last night. Still hilarious. They’re here till the 9th. Go see them.

Cil my Senator by Tyrone Green

Dark and lonely on a summer’s night.
Cil my senator, cil my senator.
Blue dog barking, do he bite?
Cil my senator, cil my senator.
Slip in the Senate, change his vote.
In his office, he I choke.
He ain’t on our side, fuck this dope.
Cil my senator, cil my senator.
C-I-L my senator!

Blew Dogs: “Yeah want change, but not in a changey kind of way. We call it status quo change.”

Servo July 31, 2009 at 10:08 am

Most of the Blue Dogs are from rural Southern and Midwestern districts that overwhelmingly voted for Republican Sen. John McCain over Obama in the 2008 presidential election.
That’s a shocker.

“We believe any individual … who does not respect our God-given right of self-defense should not serve on any court, much less the highest court in the land,” the NRA’s letter reads.

“God-given”? Ah, yes, I remember that passage well: Ye have heard that it hath been said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say unto you, that whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, ye pump him full of lead.

“The deal also would allow states to set up nonprofit cooperatives to offer coverage, a Republican-generated idea that insurers favor as an alternative to a public insurance option.”

Jeez, could you possibly sound more like a godless COMMIE!?
Why do the Blew Dogs hate teh capitalisms?

lawrenceofthedesert July 31, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Blue dogs like our local Joe Baca are that way because they couldn’t get re-elected otherwise; the Obameister is wise to let them parade in battle fatigues for a while so their wingnut constituents, the real dogs whipped to a frenzy by any intruder, can slowly lapse back into a comatose state — making America safe once again. Think of Congress as a big Tweety Bird cartoon; Joe and his posse are just giving Hector a bone to chew on.

cheeto_jeebus July 31, 2009 at 1:43 pm

Isn’t there a chair in a closet somewhere Baucus can have? He and Lindsey can sit in there n jack off to pics of reagan. jack off? sounds so old fashioned. ‘Max hid behind the steam operated frapmatron and jacked off. The spittle swinging slowly from the corner of his mouth and his old worn corduroy plus-fours rustled rhythmically.’

yeah i hate the dude.
