MEMBER DIARY

From The “How Do They Keep A Straight Face” Files

RESIZE: AAA

The Washington Examiner is reporting that President Obama has sent “ethics czar” Norm Eisen to the Russian front, and is shuttering the last vestiges of his romantic comedy titled Transparency and Open Government choosing, instead, to hand ethics and transparency over to Obamafia lawyer and White House Counsel Bob Bauer:

Bauer’s own words — gathered by the diligent folks at the Sunlight Foundation — show disdain for openness and far greater belief in the good intentions of those in power than of those trying to check the powerful. In December 2006, when the Federal Election Commission proposed more precise disclosure requirements for parties, Bauer took aim at the practice of muckraking enabled by such disclosure.

On his blog, Bauer derided the notion “that politicians and parties are pictured as forever trying to get away with something,” saying this was an idea for which “there is a market, its product cheaply manufactured and cheaply sold.” In other words — we keep too close an eye on our leaders.

In August 2006 Bauer blogged, “disclosure is a mostly unquestioned virtue deserving to be questioned.” This is the man the White House has put in charge of making this the most open White House ever.

As Moe Lane would say…

Heh-heeh-heh. Heh! Heh-haah-haah!! Haaah-haaahhh-HAHHH!!!!
MWBHAAH-HAHH-HAAA-HAAAAAH-HAAAA-HAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

    You REALLY need to put disclaimers on these things, Haystack! I am having trouble typing this out, looking through the coffee and muffaletta all over my monitor.

    …Now my “e” key is sticking….

    LOLOLOL

    Ya know, the entire 2012 GOP ad campaign could be taken just from that 2:00 clip.

    Good thing the media is all over BHO, holding him to the campaign promises he made.

        I would think that one is coming along nicely. He should get Michell to caddy for him, it might help her remove a few of those unsightly pounds.

          You probably live down south in a trailer and support the Tea Party to boot.

            where one movie character in a voice filled with disdain and contempt says to the heroine of the movie “Why don’t you go back to your double wide and fry something?” right before the heroine punches this character’s face in.

            Classic.

      “So you will know if your representative is representing you!”

      Well, we know, don’t we? And if the PEOPLE retire those who are not representing their constituents, there will be 435 Republicans & Independents in the next Congress . . . with perhaps a few token dims for tomato targets . . . along with a majority of the Senate.

      Every Republican candidate challenging an incumbent dim porker should play that clip or at least have it as a PiP against another background (perhaps the Constitution?) as the spendthrift’s
      record scrolls down the screen . . . along with the extraordinarily wise uses to which those funds were allocated – whether jobs overseas, feeding cocaine to apes or restoring bridges to nowhere.

      If the GOP has the stones to stand up this fall, the leftist worms will be hiding under their rocks for decades to come.

    He’s only talking about corporations-Not Democrats and special interests.

    this is all about what your definition of “is” is.

    LOL get me a tissue I need to cry this really isn’t funny. Unless of course it can really be used against the dems and the little o in the elections and Vasser Bushmill’s premonition about November has less than a 50/50 chance of coming true.

    Yeah….. Really.

    Our good friend Warner Todd Huston has the info on Gateway Pundit.

    BREAKING….. SC Democrat Senate Candidate Indicted on Felony Obscenity Charge.

    Greene was arrested in November after authorities say he approached a student in a University of South Carolina computer lab, showed her obscene photos online, then talked about going to her dorm room.

    ===============

    Somebody please do a new full diary on this magnificent example of normal democrat candidate behavior.

    I’m too busy laughing.

    I bet those action figures are gonna be worth a small fortune on E-Bay now.

    A small fortune in this economy: $1.00.

    ———————-

    Mr. Greene:

    Please don?t drop out of the race.

    Please don?t.

    Fight the charges ? as your own defense counsel too.

    Thanks.

    KLS

    I can keep going, but I’d rather y’all add some snark of your own.

    Cheers !

    Look people, the “Anointed One” makes his chess move’s and us babbling humans need to realize that the unbelieving conspiracy “heathen” understate the issues when they say that Obama is a radical. Alas, they know not the secrets we are all going to witness. The “Anointed One” is amazing, he takes the people at the highly efficient Post Office and sends them right over to the Student Loan Program. The “Anointed One” knows all. Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at mach speed. Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire. YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted across the globe and into college students’ in-boxes with devastating regularity. All the while, the Obama mega-money-raising engine whirred on at high speed, until the result became inevitable: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the “Anointed One.”
    I am not surprised to hear these stinking lies about our “Anointed One,” it should be apparent to anyone that this was coming down the pike. I do have a couple questions about future process steps concerning these developments? When the “Annointed One” decides to start bar-coding everyone, will we get to decide if the mark is on our hand or forehead? Allot of people will prefer the hand, (especially women of course), unless your a porn actress or something along those lines. Also, my girlfriend was wondering if the Administration will be getting fashion advice from Hollyweird or the New York City crowd? We are both agree that the Administration “Maoies” as the “Anointed One ” so lovingly calls them,will be getting uniforms similar to the SS uniforms in Germany in WW2. With big letters abreviating “Barack’s Socialists.” So shall we start calling them the BS?
