#1  He's probably lying about that, too. Why should we believe anything he says?

#2  Swarmy little tax cheating bugger. I'll buy his book right after hell freezes over.

#3  "Is that true Jay Carney?"

#4  And so, of course, he obliged them.

#5  He's a democrat. When isn't he lying?

#6  More bad lies in this administration than on any golf course......

#2 

Looks like something from Ontario didn't quite make it through Customs...

#3  I do enjoy a smackfaced douchebag

#4  Frank, are you referring to Jerkface's smackdown or the one provided by our Honorable Veteran in his letter?

Rep. Jim Clyburn recalls the 2:00 a.m.... "you bastards" call.
No worries, he's back on the plantation, pulling for the boss.

Former SECDEF and Klingon Gates defends the indefensible VA.
A few more dead proles.... 'what difference does it make' ?

#1  Interesting comments from a beltway insider who has probably never been treated at a VA facility, and no doubt ever will be.
Posted by: Besoeker || 05/12/2014 10:19 Comments || Top||

#2  Shinseki has always been a bureaucrat first and soldier second. His big claim to fame in the Army was a hat change. Big deal... His mode was clear from the start, take the VA, give a few speeches, make the rounds politically, do nothing substantial, and take no risks. I will say again, they need to put some infantry COL and CSM in charge of that mess and clean it out. Starting with the DC rats.
