- DICK ARMEY QUITS LAW FIRM TO BECOME FULL-TIME LYING EXPLOITATIVE LIAR: Former Republican House majority leader Dick Armey, head of one of the most prominent wingnut Astroturfing organizations, FreedomWorks, is quitting his “real job” at a law firm for rather Palinesque quittery reasons. “The firm is busy with its business, and shouldn’t be asked to take time out from their work, to defend themselves of spurious allegations,” he said, referring to how he has publicly shamed his law firm by running the very evil FreedomWorks.

…but he’s got the best name of any wingtard in the country!
Why are some of the biggest dicks in US America politics named Dick?
“No client of this firm is going to be free to mind its own business without harassment as long as I’m associated with it.”
Minding its own business without harassment. Now there’s a concept.
[re=386989]ManchuCandidate[/re]: The cosmos is trying to tell us something?
Oh, the delicious irony of a law firm being afraid of lawsuits.
Speaking of delicious, eat a bag of lightly salted poison rat dicks, Armey. Perhaps with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
How many bags in a Dick Armey?
Before we go any further, it is NOT ironic that Dick Armey is the leader of a Dick Army. Just wanted to clear that up.
Is “Dick Army” what the Dittoheads are calling themselves nowadays?
Speaking of Dicks…any word on John Edwards confession?
AW! I thought it said Dick Armey Quits Life. Shit!
Dick Trickle > Dick Armey.
In 1998, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, a reporter asked him what he would do if he were in President Bill Clinton’s position. He replied “If I were in the President’s place I would not have gotten a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, ‘How do I reload this damn thing?’”
That’s good Dick there. Of course he ended up getting a divorce and marrying a student so it wasn’t exactly trustworthy Dick but doesn’t Dick always lie?
Dick Armey of One!!!
There’s no need for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in an Armey of Dick.
Dick Armey tarnishes the good name of a predatory law firm. Surely this is a sign of the end times.
Another economics professor (North Texas to Phil Gramm’s TAMU) that believes the rich should get richer and the poor should get poorer.
What an Army of Dick!
Thank you, Rachel Maddow. Please allow me to make my gratitude personally felt–just let me dust off my face.
[re=387026]magic titty[/re]: I don’t know…it’s close. But see, with the Armey name you get the whole picture of marching Dicks, shooting Dicks, Dicks billy clubbing protesters in the streets of some “friendly” third world dictatorship (like England). I mean…it’ is close, I’ll give you that.
Off Track, but so fun…Laurence O’Donnell just took some idiot Texas Congressman to the woodshed and spanked him furiously about Rebublican lies about healthcare…it was a thing of beauty.
Translation: The principals got together and asked Attorney Armey to remove his Dickness from their presence once they realized he was the reason Rachel Maddow was sticking her nose in their office. They’re afraid the clients might have a problem with a camera-wielding lesbian truthseeker.
[re=387042]AbstinenceOnly Ed[/re]: When Hollywood makes a movie out of these comments it will be directed by Judd Apatow and star Adam Sandler and Ross Douthat will beat off watching it.
[re=387057]Limeylizzie[/re]: I sent that in tips, but can’t find the utube of it yet. It’s got to be a matter of minutes.
Let me see: Isn’t Armey the name on the bill that revoked the New Deal Glass-Steagall (sp?) act and gave us the billions of dollars in bailouts–as predicted at the time by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-one of the Dakotas. What the fuck’s the difference?)–and nearly plunged the nation into a Great Depression II?
That Dick Armey? Yeah, I thought so. Or was it the Enron Bill that benefitted his wife? Or both?
Oh, yeah–That Bag O’Dicks Armey.
Fuck Dick Armey.
[re=387051]frumious_bandersnatch[/re]: I think she should receive a teevee pulitzer prize for sitting on the Toxic Sludge argument. It’s the same story every evening, but it is fantastic journalism.
[re=387062]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Camera-wielding lesbian truthseeker made me come over all moist.
[re=387057]Limeylizzie[/re]: You’re going to have to narrow it down. “Some idiot Texas Congressman” covers just about all of them here in Texass.
“Dick Armey Helpless Before Lesbian”
So how’s tricks over at FreedomIsSlaveryWorks, Dick?
hahahahah. A Neo Con lost his day job and now has to moolight with Sarah “Liar” Palin. Better open up that Cayman Islands bank account now Dickie boy.
[re=387073]DustBowlBlues[/re]:
I think you mean Phil Gramm. He wrote the bill that overturned Glass-Steagall, (Gramm-Leach-Bliley), and his wife Wendy was on the board of Enron. On the audit committee, no less.
While head of the CFTC under Reagan, Wendy exempted Enron from regulation involving trading of energy derivatives. Then left CFTC, and took the job with Enron.
Army is a scumbag, but the Gramms are filth and should be sitting in prison cells now.
Umm… I meant Armey.
Another quitter who’s quitting because he is not a quitter! Never give up Dick Armey — quit before you become a quitter.
[re=387073]DustBowlBlues[/re]: True, I think Culbertson or Cuthbertson
My dad went to grad school with Dick Armey and can’t hear his name with out yelling, “He was the dumbest son of a bitch I’ve ever met!”
Obviously at the other end of the political spectrum in my family.
I think it’s time to stop berating the reactionaries, such as Dick Armey, for organizing so-called “astro-turf” demos.
During the Vietnam War, which most of you are too young and stupid to remember, I attended many unruly demonstrations where we were gassed, chased by cops on horses, etc. All of these were organized by the Student Mobilization Committee, which was a front for the Socialist Workers’ Party, who are Trotskyists. I don’t think there was anything dishonest, dishonorable or phoney about any of this. So why shouldn’t the asshole Republicans get to do it too?
Dick Armey is such an ugly thing to say to our armed forces.
Ha! Cock Brigade.
[re=387008]pondscum[/re]: There’s a tiny tweezers patrol searching for John’s gonads right now. As soon as these are located, they will hold a joint press conference.
[re=387064]shadowMark[/re]: Everyone’s issued a Douchehat when they join the Armey of Dick.
It was the no-class name, but they won’t admit it. The firm wanted him to change it to “Richard Military,” but he refused. The compromise name, it turned out, was already copyrighted: Archie Bunker.
[re=386985]masterdebater[/re]: Yeah, he really has a boy’s name.
[re=387197]Aurelio[/re]: Okay. Gas them, have them chased by cops on horses. Fair is fair. (p.s. I was there too, not chased by horses, but the sweet smell of tear gas and truncheons still flit through my dreams.)
[re=387088]LittlePig[/re]: “Dick Armey Helpless Before Lesbian” — Comment of the day, comment of the day! Getcher red-hot comment-of-the-day, richeer!
YES! Another one Goin’ Galt. Pretty soon there will be an unemployed, uninsured army of wingbutt grifters. Don’t forget if you don’t work you don’t have to pay ANY socialist taxes.
[re=387137]Ozma[/re]: Thanks. I get the two of them totally mixed up. All I remember about Dick Armey is that his name was associated with crap all the time. I’m an oldtimer, and tend to get the objects of my hate, but not my love, mixed up.
[re=387197]Aurelio[/re]: “During the Vietnam War, which most of you are too young and stupid to remember, ”
Kudos for your choice of adjectives.
[re=387197]Aurelio[/re]: “So why shouldn’t the asshole Republicans get to do it too?”
Hey, fellow oldtimer, listen up: Because we were too young, too stupid and too guileless to pretend that it was a grassroots movment, or at least included any roots over 30 years old.
Hah- what’s your wife’s name, Vagina Coast Guard?
Aurelio:Not too young & stupid to know that they were Trotskyites, not Trotskiyist. Or too stupid to know Trotsky got an icepick in his ear in Mexico City. Learned that from a Stranglers song. Cause I’m too young to have read it in the paper. And too stupid to know about the struggle for supremacy in pre war USSR between the Stalinists & Trotskyites, or about Trotskyite influence in the 60′s in SDS. Also. Hmmm, i’m hungy now. BRB
[re=387197]Aurelio[/re]: I knew Trotsky.
Trotsky was my friend, and you, sir, are no Trotsky.
Don’t make fun of his name. It was the best he could do with letters that formed even worse names: Creamy Kid, Armed Icky, Ream Dicky, Ram Dickey, My Car Dike, Ray Dick Me, Ray Dick Em. Srsly. WTF!
[re=387422]slowuncle[/re]: As we used to say in my wing of SDS: “A chicken in every pot, and an icepick in every Trot.”
Yes, I am ashamed of myself. But not very.
[re=387197]Aurelio[/re]: I’m too old and remember too much to get the comparison.
[re=387403]Patty Dumpling[/re]: what’s your wife’s name, Vagina Coast Guard?
A zillion points for a cogent Family Guy reference. I nominate Pussy Navy for an honorable mention, though.
I wonder what will happen when the KISS Army meets the Dick Armey…
[re=387422]slowuncle[/re]: Nope, it’s Trotskyists, not Trotskyites. By the same token, they are socialists, not socialites. (An old Trot joke.)
I saw this smirkbucket the other night on the newshour, lying about healthcare. He should never be allowed on tv during the dinner hour.
Too bad Armey was such a sucker and listened to Cheney about WMD. So close to greatness…
If you want your children to grow to be truly successful, name them a penis-military combo. For instance, Rod Strikeforce, Johnson Bigmissle, or Throbber Twincannon.
…Fundis Pantsrocket, Bratwurst Stiffrifle, Grissler Trenchmorter.
