A parting shot from Travelwise42, since this won’t be relevant after Sunday’s vote:
By the way, I noticed Kucinich changed his vote after riding on Air Force One. Do you think Obama had a couple SEIU goons whack him in the kidneys with a sock full of oranges for a couple hours, or was it more of a friendly chat along the lines of “Nice family ya got there, Dennis. Be a shame if something happened to them.”?
The above photo and caption reminds me of this scene from Blazing Saddles….{the Johnsons load their guns and point them at Bart. Bart then points his own pistol at his head}
Bart: [low voice] Hold it! Next man makes a move, the nigger gets it!
Olson Johnson: Hold it, men. He’s not bluffing.
Dr. Sam Johnson: Listen to him, men. He’s just crazy enough to do it!
Bart: [low voice] Drop it! Or I swear I’ll blow this nigger’s head all over this town!
Bart: [high-pitched voice] Oh, lo’dy, lo’d, he’s desp’it! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy!
[Townspeople drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd towards the station]
Harriet Johnson: Isn’t anybody going to help that poor man?
Dr. Sam Johnson: Hush, Harriet! That’s a sure way to get him killed!
Bart: [high-pitched voice] Oooh! He’p me, he’p me! Somebody he’p me! He’p me! He’p me! He’p me!
Bart: [low voice] Shut up!
[Bart places his hand over his own mouth, then drags himself through the door into his office]
Bart: Ooh, baby, you are so talented!
[looks into the camera]
Bart: And they are so dumb!
It is the Chicago way to do business.
Obama just promised to take Dennis to visit Area 51 in exchange for his vote.
Two words: blue swirly
As someone who isn’t being held at gunpoint, I must say you’re mischaracterizing the SEIU as thugs who would use threats of violence to force a congressman to change his vote or to force a commenter to defend them from accusations that in no way resemble the truth in the same way that there aren’t two large men standing beside me with nail-covered planks of wood in hand.
They probably reminised about Kucinich’s latent homosexuality, a misuse of campaign funds and inappropriate touching of one of the nuns who spoke in favor of passing healthcare. Ya think?
He simply promised Dennis that he’s show him his weenie. Dennis is thrilled. It’s like band camp all over again.
Mebbe they threatened to leave him in Ohio with no way home.
(Just kidding, Ohio. It’s a fine state.)
I heard they got him on AF!, got up to altitude, then docked with the mother ship so that they could trade him in for a more compliant model.
Go ahead. Pull that finger!
