Denis Healey once observed that being attacked by Sir Geoffrey Howe was ‘like being savaged by a dead sheep’.

I grew up in the days of Sir Geoffrey Howe and you, Senator Hatch, are no Sir Geoffrey Howe.

I know I am mixing British and American quotes here, but you get the general idea. Orrin really is an odious little man.

Check out that pencil neck.

I think it’s the jowls. The reason it’s seen so commonly in politicians is because they flap their lips w/o any forethought.

Orrin, first off, I would have to care about what you think of progressives/liberals. Secondly, others can call themselves whatever they want, but I am proud to be LIBERAL!

Who you calling old?

Gosh Orrin, I’m just wondering…

Those dumb a$$ liberals eliminated the filibuster for presidential appointments. You’re going to keep that rule change in place, just to stick it them? Ooooooo! I’m sure they are shaking in their boots, because,

  1. It will still be a Democratic President making the appointments, which will be easier for him to do if you keep the rules as they are.
  2. Your party is only going to hold the Senate until 2016, when you can expect an epic shellacking that most likely will enshrine another democratic President. Your keeping the rules unchanged will be greatly appreciated.

Oh…and I agree that using the term ‘progressive’ is just a way to avoid identifying themselves as liberals. It’s very much like how you use the term ‘conservative’ to avoid identifying yourself as heartless theocratic #$%@kicker.

he looks forward to giving Democrats "a taste of their own medicine" after the GOP takes back the White House in 2016

First of all, Hatch is clearly delusional if he thinks there is any significant likelihood of the GOP taking the White House in 2016.

Second what does he have in mind for "giving Democrats ‘a taste of their own medicine’? Perhaps the GOP Congress will:

  • Improve access to healthcare for Americans? Perhaps vote for single payer or Medicare for all? Drive health insurance companies out of business?
  • Fight for equality for teh gay? Perhaps repeal section 2 of DOMA?
  • Confirm the putative new Republican president’s appointments without question? Democrats don’t routinely oppose presidential appointment anyway. Only for cause.

Let’s face it. A majority GOP Congress will dispense the same medicine that it did as a minority. just in larger doses. They will continue their push to get government out of the boardroom and into the bedroom.

Oh, and Orrin, “conservative” has been widely regarded as a synonym for “stupid” since at least 1866:

“I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.”
– John Stuart Mill, in a Parliamentary debate with the Conservative MP, John Pakington (May 31, 1866)

Down the Hatch.

I always love it when an angry old, anti-science, anti-math, anti-history Republican mouth-breather tries to pretend like they’re smart.

Thanks for the laughs, Snorin’ Orrin.

And remember, we’re not laughing with you, we’re laughing at you.
