GOP Sen. Vitter ups to keep Bernanke from reconfirmation at the Fed

Washington D.C.--Hey, he had to do something to show he was worth more than a squirt-of-piss what with a dead prostitute chained to his leg for the rest of his life. Oh yeah, and the fact that he votes against the interests of the people of his state and the nation, that too...

It's not going to help him. You're no Bernie Sanders, Senator Vitter, you're closer to D.C. Stephenson. You and your lawyers tipped-the-balance in threatening a disturbed woman with legal expenses and she killed herself. "Asshole" doesn't even begin to describe what you are, and we're coming for you.

Bernie Sanders is...oh fuck it.

WWW--I'm still counting the days when someone accurately describes Senator Sanders as a socialist, you know, since he is one. I'm one too, a philosophical socialist. So far, the most recent person to call me one was a neo-Nazi and a Holocaust denier. Of course, I had to TELL them.

Really, and this is a good thing: we have our FIRST SOCIALIST SENATOR IN VERMONT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS.

Meanwhile, morons are misspelling the "S"-word at Tea Bagger protests.

WHEN: why doesn't the right call Bernie Sanders a socialist?

WWW--Oh right, someone, somewhere, did. I don't care about those other obscure assholes, I mean some famous asshole like Glen Beck, Limbaugh, or the whole Lollipop Guild chiming-in--even skirt chasing Jack Burkman and his desire to...uh, his desire.

Goddamned if I ever thought I'd miss William F. Buckley Jr., but I do. Do they even know what a socialist is?

Buckley did, and even though he himself was prone to red-baiting and calling people who weren't communists communists, and all the other permutations, he tended to have a higher accuracy count. No, whatever isn't socialist is socialist to the "New Right," throwing their tantrums and having their own 1960s. Luckily, it's going to end about the same way for them: a dystopian move towards hard drugs (already there!), cults (ditto), and even disco (not quite there yet). This is more a matter of profound ignorance about virtually everything.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is an acknowledged philosophical socialist, like myself. But how often has anyone called him that? Name that person, I defy you. Best of luck!
