That’s really smart, dude. Compare him to a minimum-wage menial worker. Presto! You’ve managed to insult BOTH Lyin’ Ryan AND working-class domestics. A two-fer!

I remember, in Driving Miss Daisy, what Idella said to Boolie when Boolie criticized Idella for using an old-fashioned carpet sweeper instead of the new electric vacuum he had bought her.

“You come here to clean, and I’ll go down and run your office.”

Let’s see. 42 members of the FREEDOM! Caucus and 42 complaints on different ‘demands’
I guess Paul won’t be the next Speaker

A co-founder of the hardline House Freedom Caucus on Wednesday compared Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to a maid who refuses to clean floors and make beds.

A more apt description would be to compare him to a Republican county clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses to gays.

““It’s like interviewing a maid for a job and she says, ‘I don’t clean windows, I don’t do floors, I don’t do beds, these are the hours I’ll work,’”"

No it’s not. When a maid you’re interviewing says something like that, you don’t get upset and howl at the clouds. Rather, you don’t get upset at all, simply don’t hire him and move on to the next candidate. The fact that these folks are throwing hissy fits over his demands instead of just calmly saying “ok then, I guess you’re not the guy
let’s move on” indicates to me that (a) they recognize they probably will have to cave and (b) they recognize they don’t have another candidate to move on to (and of course © they are emotionally stunted, unstable and imbalanced manchildren).

Also too: the fact that this is the first profession analogy he pulled out of his privileged brownstar speaks volumes.

perhaps the solution to neutering the Fweedumbers is for moderate Republicans to link up with Democrats and elect a “coalition” speaker who will be amenable to both sides.

Leave the Fweedumbers sitting by the side of the road sucking their widdle thumbs

What he really meant was a maid who refuses to polish his knob and then thank him for the privilege
which is pretty much the way these plutocrat douchenozzles view the entire panoply of middle and lower class Amurikan jobs and the relationship they should have with their employers.

Well, in defense of his maid analogy, he could have said, “He’s like a $2000 per hour call girl who won’t perform.”

He’s got that face only a Mother could love.

But that’s the whole point I suppose: why pay $2000 for something you can get for free by holding someone’s employment hostage and treating them like your bitch-ass serf?

It cracks me up that the “Freedom Caucus”, the group of Congressmen who are always issuing demands and ultimatums, are upset that someone else is giving them demands and ultimatums.

I have started referring to them as the Freak-Dumb Caucus since that is more appropriate.

It’s cute that he thinks a maid would be so desperate as to work for him. Same goes for Ryan I suppose
 he doesn’t care what you want.
