If we throw the bums out…

So if we throw the Republican bums out it November for their scandals, gay-bashing, unbridled spending, and betraying the American people on immigration, just what will we end up with to replace them? According to the AP, we’ll end up with House committees under the control of the likes of Charles Rangel, John Dingell, David Obey, George Miller, and Alcee Hastings. Enough to cause projectile vomit:
If the chips fall right for Democrats and their party seizes control of the House, President Bush’s agenda on Capitol Hill would fall into the hands of some of his most dogged opponents. …
As for those prospective Democratic chairmen, the group is overwhelmingly liberal-leaning.
Only two of 20 earned grades of less than 90 percent on last year’s voting records from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action interest group. Half had perfect scores of 100 from the ADA — or would have had it not been for missed votes. …
In a potential power switch between the parties, more than an unrelenting string of liberal Democrats are positioned to take over committees.
What a choice…

Dear Mr. Jaffee: How could you forget The Hon. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), that paragon of Congressional deliberativeness, fairness, and politesse? Always ready to attack Jews and Israel as the source of every perfidy in the world, yet always quick to cry “racism!” when brought to account for her own sociopathic actions (assaulting D.C. police officers who demanded her ID, etc.) She won her last election by defeating a moderate (African-American) Democrat in the primary precisely by playing on racism and demagoguery…as the Mad magazine editorial crew used to put it: Yeccchhhh!

Mac:
You’re right, I should’ve included her, and I love your allusion to the guys at Mad. They were the best. I wonder if they’ve published anything about McKinney along the lines of “Snappy Comebacks to Stupid Questions.”
