Fool Me Once.......

Gentle readers, I'm sure you know the phrase "Fool me once -- shame on you.  Fool me twice -- shame on me."  No, it's not "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — [pauses] — shame on you. Fool me — [pauses] — You can't get fooled again." that wonderful ditty from George W Bush.  It still makes The Cracker Daddy painfully cringe every time he remembers George W and he live in the same city.  Well, at least I'll say this for George W, he's doing more than his fair share and then some in keeping Dallas douche.

Speaking of douche-bags, today is the first day of the new Congress -- the one run by the Republicans now.  You remember these fools/crooks/charlatans don't you?  Yes, think back to just four years ago when they had just been booted from the majority after 12 "wonderful" years (yes, that's sarcasm dripping).  Yes, those assholes.  Dana Milbank of the Washington Post happened to notice in today's column that the Republicans appear to be acting like lying hypocrites, or you know just like .......Republicans.

For two years, Cantor and his colleagues campaigned against high deficits. Now, in the new majority's first major act, they plan to vote to increase the deficit by $143 billion as part of a repeal of health-care reform.

For two years, Cantor and his colleagues bemoaned the Democrats' abuse of House rules to circumvent committees and to prevent Republicans from offering amendments. Now, Cantor confirmed on Tuesday, Republicans will employ the very same abuses as they attempt the repeal.

For two years, the Republicans complained about unrelenting Democratic partisanship. Now they're planning no fewer than 10 investigations of the Obama administration, and the man leading most of those has already branded Obama's "one of the most corrupt administrations" in history.

For two years, the Republican minority vowed to return power to the people. Now the House Republican majority is asking lobbyists which regulations to repeal, hiring lobbyists to key staff positions and hobnobbing with lobbyists at big-ticket Washington fundraisers.

Go figure that.  Well, Dana you and your fellow travelers in the MSM Village got punked by the Republicans.......AGAIN.  So, shame on you and the rest of the Villagers.
