Clarence Gets It (edit-1)

Behind the scenes political machinations, or even front and center manipulations, are always more interesting than the contrived images/spins we are offered through the MSM.

Did you notice that Justice Clarence Thomas was absent from the SOTU address? Me too! Wonder why? ME TOO! Wonder no more, my babies.

“I don’t go because it has become so partisan and it’s very uncomfortable for a judge to sit there,” he said, adding that “there’s a lot that you don’t hear on TV — the catcalls, the whooping and hollering and under-the-breath comments.”

“One of the consequences,” he added in an apparent reference to last week’s address, “is now the court becomes part of the conversation, if you want to call it that, in the speeches. It’s just an example of why I don’t go.”

Man oh man, to be a fly on the chamber wall during an address.

Tea Party. That title has to strike fear in ALL incumbents. regardless of party. If it doesn't, they ignore those who are fed-up with Washington, fed-up with the status quo in politics, fed-up with elected officials saying one thing and voting another, fed-up with the out of control spending, fed-up with Washington's confusion about who they work for, at their peril.

Like McCain:

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republicans' standard-bearer in 2008, is facing a surprisingly strong primary challenge from the right, evidence that even party leaders aren't safe from the swell of conservative activism heading into the 2010 midterm elections.

American voters are more serious about cleaning our Washington house than most politicians are willing to recognize or believe. I think they wish we'd just stay out of their business and let them do as they have always done. Yeah, not happening. Head's up Republicans, RINOs and all you shady politicians who think you can still bamboozle us into believing you are something that you're clearly not. Those days are over. We gots the Internets now! (thanky al gore!!)

UPDATE on Brown swearing in: Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R), the successor to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), will be sworn in to office Thursday afternoon, giving Republicans 41 seats in the upper chamber.

Leaves you all warm and fuzzy. Until you remember Barry and Crew will fight against America until their last moments in the WH.

President Barack Obama reminded Democratic senators at a retreat Wednesday that they still control the largest majority in a generation.

Yes, "reminded" them of their control, because let's face it, that's what this WH is all about. That reminder takes your warm and fuzzy and craps all over it, reminding us that the fight is still very much on, LIKE DONKEY KONG!


EDIT: Brown is sworn in!

Oh Clarence, I totally get you.






P.S. After yesterday's I.R.S./guns post, my footprints indicated the I.R.S. in Cincinnati (?!) came to see my entry. POW! BANG! WTH?!
