"Only politicians resort to such tactics."

FTFY.

O'Reilly is usually pretty fair about things. I listened to his radio show for years and always found him to be traditional but not a shill for the right like Hannity.

Congratulations, Jackass, you just won your very first "Moment of Clarity"tm award!

Great job, and keep up the good work.

#23-

What, I wasn't being thoughtful or deliberative when I destroyed you with that retort? Or do you mean that I am physically incapable of reflecting light?

Please pontificate on what you were trying to convey.

You are one of several self-inflated, egotistical, pontificating bozos on the DR.

Doc, sometimes you make it too easy...

As one of the few (relatively) conservative entertainment lawyers in LA, this makes me laugh, but I had to post this to stir things up.

And no blame for the guy who decided to steer us away from surpluses and toward deficits. Typical.

And it only took Dforth 3 posts for his Bush Derangement Syndrome to kick in.

Your growing restraint is admirable, it must have been tough to last that long.

1. You would be surprised at the $$ that these street performers make both on Hollywood Blvd., the Grove and at the 3rd. St. Promenade in Santa Monica. Tourists are such suckers here in LA.

2. Hollywood is 1000% better now then it was in the mid-90's (but the tranny hookers are still pretty haggard).

3. I have known Sharon Tay since she came to LA in 1992, and she is better looking in person, believe it or not.

MTM!!! Damn you to hell. I learned a new word today and I really wish I hadn't.

At least you now know the name of your longtime hobby.

*waiting while Dforth frantically searches demunderground, dailykos and TPM for what he "believes"*

Not according to you: it's backroom deals and delays, remember?

Don't worry about me, what do you believe?

Whatever we do, let's not focus on the fact CJJ was wrong, and let's pretend the issue was a different one.

You are the only one focusing on that (which is a deflection from the article, which is the issue), and won't answer my question, which is par for the course.

Getting back to the article, do you have an answer for why "Duncan (for whatever mysterious reason) has not gotten a budget resolution out of the Senate Budget Committee, which he chairs, for over three years?"

Yeah...suddenly it isn't the Constitution any more, it's the backroom deals the guy was referring to....

And it's not the Constitution, it is the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 that dictate how the budget process works.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

Fat talk from someone who had to deflect from fact to conjecture.

While you are as clueless as Axehole as to how things actually work, let's focus on the fact that Duncan (for whatever mysterious reason) has not gotten a budget resolution out of the Senate Budget Committee, which he chairs, for over three years.

If, as you clearly believe, Reid had nothing to do with it, then why hasn't a simple budget resolution made it out of committee in the Senate for this long?

Dforth-

Nice deflection, anyone reading my prior responses would understand how desperate your #9 looks.

Keep trying, however, your contined failure is almost endearing.

#2 - In the Senate I would presume ... ummm ... Harry Reid?

{bzzzz}

Sorry, retake civics.

#4 | Posted by Danforth at 2012-02-04 01:53 PM

If you don't think that Conrad isn't taking orders from Reid to stall budget resolutions in Committee, then you are as clueless as Axehole.

If there is something you can count on from our conservatives, it is a complete lack of understanding about nearly everything.

#5 | Posted by axe at 2012-02-04 01:58 PM

That's funny, I never thought that you considered yourself to be a conservative.

Whose responsibility is it to bring a budget to the floor?

#2 | Posted by DARTHCHENEY at 2012-02-04 01:42 PM

The Senate and House Budget Committees, with the Senate Committee controlled by the Dems and House Committee controlled by the Repubs.

The Senate Committee, chaired by Kent Conrad, has completely failed to even present a budget resolution to the Senate to vote on since 2009, and that failure falls directly on the Chair, who doesn't need even one vote from the Republicans on the Committee since the majority has an additional vote.

The House Committee, on the other hand, chaired by Paul Ryan (R), has produced budget resolutions consistently since 2007. The House Committee also doesn't need bipartisan agreement, since the majority has six additional votes.

The Senate, frankly, has no excuse other than political gamesmanship for not producing a budget for 3 years.

Aww, Kanrei got troofies manties all knotted up.

Overreacting much?

Attack at will; I deserve it this time.

#32 | Posted by kanrei at 2012-02-03 11:54 AM

I actually thought that retort struck closer to home than most. After all, look at Axehole's #30.

Those 300K traitors deserve to be shit out the wrong end of a camel.

#30 | Posted by axe at 2012-02-03 11:51 AM

Simon Weisenthal just added you to his list.

Hmmm, now Spud wonders what Rmoney's SS codename is.

I hear he already has one: Salamander.

And no, I am not kidding.

It's official.

Romney is the one.

Once he starts getting briefings at the EOB on a weekly basis it will be confirmed, but this is a close a step as you get.

LMAO... 49K? Wow, like a waitress getting an extra penny on her tip.

C'mon, if you do the math, that is .017% of his AGI!

And to think that sheep like Cock Starvis are turgid over his munificence.

He confessed to killing her and two other women, but later said it was a false confession to cover up a string of armed robberies.

Didn't he have that backward?

Bob Dole is at a press conference. A reporter asks him whether he wears boxers or briefs.

Bob paused a second and then said, "Depends."
