Job security

Posted by on

Every time a group of crazies doesn’t like the president, or something the president does, they call for his impeachment.

This is true for as long as I can remember. Well, almost.

I don’t remember Eisenhower (president when I was born) or much about Kennedy. And I don’t recall any “Impeach Johnson” movement. But, there was an “Impeach Nixon” movement. It went so far as to go to committee in the House of Representatives.

Some crazies called for the impeachment of Gerald Ford, following the Nixon pardon, but it was just crazy talk. Some crazy talk about Carter (particularly following the botched Iran hostage rescue attempt). Then, the crazies kicked it up when Reagan took office. Same with Bush the Elder.

Of course, Clinton was impeached, but acquitted.

And how can we forget the Impeach Bush movement. There are still some wanting him impeached. Told you they were nuts.

Now, there’s an Impeach Obama movement. Google it; you’ll get 2,210,000 results. At Bing, not as many, but still 217,000 results.

Let me state right now, in case you somehow missed it over the last several months, I think that Barack Obama is an incompetent oaf. He’s not qualified to work the cash register at Hardee’s, much less occupy the Oval Office. But impeach him?

Consider what would happen.

On the upside, we’d be rid of him. That’s a pretty big upside.

The downside? Who’s next in line? That’s right, Joe Biden. For crying out loud, no rational person would want him in the White House.

So, could they both be removed from office at one time?

Look what happens then: the Speaker of the House assumes the presidency. That’s Nancy Pelosi! Again, no rational person would want that.

Who’s next? The President pro tempore of the Senate, Robert Byrd.

Okay, it’s a mass impeachment then. It removes the president, vice-president, Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate. Who assumes the presidency then? The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

Next? Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner.

Then?

  • Secretary of Defense: Robert Gates
  • Attorney General: Eric Holder
  • Secretary of the Interior: Ken Salazar
  • Secretary of Agriculture: Tom Vilsack
  • Secretary of Commerce: Gary Locke
  • Secretary of Labor: Hilda Solis
  • Secretary of Health and Human Services: Kathleen Sebelius
  • Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Shaun Donovan
  • Secretary of Transportation: Ray LaHood
  • Secretary of Energy: Steven Chu
  • Secretary of Education: Arne Duncan
  • Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Eric Shinseki
  • Secretary of Homeland Security: Janet Napolitano

See what I mean? Remove one, another takes over. Okay, maybe Gates isn’t that bad. But the only other Republican, LaHood, ain’t no prize.

What then?

Nothing. We’re screwed.

Until the 2012 election.

Unless we screw around like we did in 2008 and get our asses handed to us. Think about that next time you decide to bad-mouth a conservative.

Except for Ron Paul. You can bad-mouth him. He’s nuts. And so are his supporters.

Rick Sanchez: We’re all the same except that I’m better than you

Posted by on

I don’t follow Rick Sanchez, a CNN guy, on the Twitter. Because I don’t watch CNN. That’s because the channel is overrun with left-wing nutcases. Not as bad as, say, NBC, but still pretty bad.

Not everyone at CNN is a barking moonbat, though. But, enough are that I don’t waste time weeding through the lefties.

In fairness, Fox News has some goofy folks, as well. Some on the left, but some nutcases on the right, too. But not as many nutcases as other channels. So, when I watch news TV, it’s usually Fox News.

Now, having said all that, I wouldn’t have know about what Rick Sanchez said on the Twitter if it wasn’t for Gwyn’s Mom.

Here’s the summary: Rick Sanchez is a douche bag, and thinks he’s better than the folks at Fox News. He also denies that, so he’s a lying douche bag.

Here’s what he said:

if i didn’t believe in doing right thing, i’d be rich anchoring at fox news

He followed that with:

do u know how much money i’d make if i’d sold out as hispanic and worked at fox news, r u kidding, one problem, looking in mirror
11:22 PM Jul 24th from web

Seems that Huffington Post picked up on what he said, and he didn’t like it:

ok im back, just saw huffpost. good story but headline wrong! i say i couldn’t work there, im not criticizing those who do. never said that
about 8 hours ago from web

I’m not here to support Huffington Post, but Sanchez did say that he couldn’t look at himself in the mirror if he worked at Fox News.

What about those that could? Are their standards lower? Does Sanchez think he’s better than them because his standards are higher? Seems that way, doesn’t it?

Somewhere, in the midst of all this, he said this:

i guess people really are essentially same.
12:29 AM Jul 25th from web

I assume he meant “people really are essentially all the same” and not “people really are essentially sane.” If “all the same,” then he’s saying that, well, he’s just like everybody else, except that he’s better. Because he has higher standards than the Hispanics that work at Fox News.

Sounds like something a douche bag would say.

Oh, and he offered this:

wow, really getting heat from neocons and far right wing fox viewers for saying truth. must have hit nerve
about 8 hours ago from web

No, Sanchez didn’t hit a nerve. But he did offer more proof that CNN hires douche bags that think they are better than others.

Will it affect me? No. Well, okay, it gives me something to blog about. Because, you know, it’s fun calling left-wing douche bags “left-wing douche bags.” Try it. See? Fun.

It won’t impact my TV news viewing. I already don’t watch left-wing douche bags.

But, if you watch CNN, it’s okay; I’m just better than you.
