Obama to Rep. Stutzman: no "goody bag" for you

The president also mocked Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) for saying Wednesday that his party has "to get something out of" the shutdown fight, even though he doesn't "know what that even is.”

"You have already gotten the opportunity to serve the American people. There's no higher honor than that," Obama said to applause. "You've already gotten the opportunity to help businesses like this one. Workers like these. So the American people aren't in the mood to give you a goody bag to go with it. What you get is our intelligence professionals being back on the job. What you get is our medical researchers back on the job. What you get are little kids back in the head start."

"You want something out of this? I've got something for you. It's right in here... *reaches into coat pocket* Here it is. *MIDDLE FINGER* That's what you get for putting the livelihood of the American people in danger. That's what you get for damaging the reputation of the United States on the world stage. That's what you get for trying to damage the national, and world economies."

Only he's a politician and has to play "nice."

Don Pardo on Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy"

"That's right, Al--You lost. And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat. But that's not all. You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people. You brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!"

USE that public-speaking gift god gave you. USE that Ivy League education to benefit We The People. And USE that fuckin' Bully Pulpit to smash the heads of the Losers and Charlatans who think they can get away with thinking they are somehow...better, more DESERVING than the rest of us, who think that Public Service is a way to enrich themselves on the backs of the rest of us.
FUCK these people.
Fuck their money-masters.
and FUCK their mouth-breathing, Rush-listening "base".
THEY GET NOTHING for this behavior.

...his party has "to get something out of" the shutdown fight, even though he doesn't "know what that even is.”

This is the kind of guy who, if you meet at a party and he made this remark, you politely excuse yourself to "freshen you drink," then avoid him the rest of the evening.

Congrats to Obama for putting this hack back into the cesspool of TeaBaggery

A gaffe is when a person tells the truth by accident. Here Stutzman told the truth in that the tea party idiots want a price for their extortion
