Gold: Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. You can’t tell him the system is better with Social Security and Medicare than it was in the good ol’ days before we had these programs. Of course, we no longer have ‘poor farms’ where those who are down on their luck can go as a last resort – it’s the survival of the fittest, baby!
On a roll, Coburn shows his ass again. Perhaps the racist and demented who listen to him actually believe that we have the first ‘welfare king’ President. Coburn rounds things out nicely with gun-waving threats to co-workers. What are the chances of the average minimum-wage earning American still having a job after expressing such hateful lunacy and violent threats? I suspect handcuffs and a ride in a police cruiser to the nearest mental health facility would be in order for Mr. or Ms Average. Coburn – still has his cushy job, and will not be so much as censored unless voters do the job when the time comes.
[He is from Knuckle Drag, Oklahoma, so he just got about a million more votes for this! RJ]
Silver: Mitt Romney: Ready, Set, – it is time for the annual Republican whine about Obama’s family vacation! While President Obama doesn’t take countless ‘brush clearing days’ his 10 day holiday is always the stuff of derision, and whining about the unfairness of it all! This time however, Romney would have done well to check his own calendar – first.
Bronze: Ray Sandoval of the Presidential Reelection Camp in New Mexico. I believe it is important to repeat the title of Sandoval’s organization, lest you mistake him for a Republican operative. I learned that there is a "Fireblogger Lefty Blogosphere." Perhaps Sandoval will learn about Paul Krugman. Meantime, it appears that someone slipped him a few bucks to create an imaginary answer to the Tea Party for Democrats – or he could be that crazy. Keith’s suggestion is the most expedient solution, and kindest advice Sandolval is likely to get.
