This Idiot is a Member of Congress

[sheshe2]

And he votes on important legislation:

Rep. Markwayne Mullin made the case for cooperation among the branches of government in the debt ceiling and shutdown fight– all four of them.

“This country isn’t ran by just one individual it’s ran by four branches, but three branches that are in control of this,” Mullin said Tuesday. “As long as those three branches control it, then we all have to figure out how to negotiate. Not all of us is going to get 100% of what we want, but we should do what’s right.”

Yes, four branches of government.

2. I swear there's a cloning facility somewhere...they look alike, think alike, talk alike, act alike..

It's insanity. It's either cloning or inbreeding, take your pick.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

SMH.

[PDJane]

24. Yes, well....he talks English real good.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Tell the truth, Markwayne. Did Sister Sarah write that statement for you?

It reminds me of some of her gobbledygook.

[Uncle Joe]

6. I would wager he has to consciously tell himself to inhale and exhale.

Thanks for the thread, sheshe.

[sheshe2]

8. Oh please read this Uncle Joe~

An astute observer might note that there are not four branches of government. Not unless you include the Lizard People, and I think even Biff Mullin here is wise enough not to refer to the Lizard People in a public speech. The rest of America is famously governed by three branches of government, the three that any child is generally able to name before their 10th birthday. Biff belongs to one of them. Presumably Mullin is elevating the House and the Senate into each being separate "branches" of government; that is not quite the way the Founders set it up, but if you can reinterpret the Bible into an all-encompassing Godly command for poor people to get bent, inventing a new branch of government is probably simple enough.

Biff Mullin has also been getting a bit of guff from back home, which is probably why he seems a bit addled of late. Notable was a telephone town hall in which Mullin earnestly informed callers that the reality they have been living in is an illusion. An illuuuuusion:

Snip

I think we have pinpointed the problem here. Mr. Mullin simply does not live in the same dimension as the rest of us. It is not that he is an irrational lunatic, he is simply unaccustomed to the ways of our people, with our three branches of government and our constituents signing up for things that, in Mr. Mullin's dimension, do not exist. He went on to tell another caller that people dying of cancer do not exist either, because our current system lets uninsured patients ride on the backs of magic unicorns to Free Health Care Land, so long as you fill out the proper forms.

Snip

I suppose the proper pundit thing to do would be to politely rebut each of Mr. Markwayne Mullin's assertions and moan a bit about how the parties cannot work together these days, but the more responsible and America-loving thing to do is to point out that Mr. Markwayne Mullin is, to use the technical term, a moron. An imbecile. A stupid man who does not tether himself to the same reality as the rest of us, and who seems quite eager to doom us all via a series of economic and governmental neutron bombs rather than to contemplate a world in which he might have to learn a new fact. When we place morons in any one of the three (three, Biff) branches of government, we need to presume that they will do moronic things, and with gusto.

Yikes!

[Uncle Joe]

15. Damn, that's scary and sad, sheshe.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. "a stupid man who does not tether himself...

to the same reality as the rest of us". Brilliant, I need to remember that line.

[2naSalit]

7. I guess the statement

"Get a Brain Moran" would work here.

[dmr]

9. He's also one of those hypocritical teabaggers:

I took a look at his Wikipedia page:

Despite his vocal opposition to the "physically fit" receiving government assistance,[6] and description of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as a “horrible waste of tax dollars”, Mullin's plumbing business took approximately $370,000 of government funds from that program
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markwayne_Mullin

Looks like he's another "investment" of the Koch Bros & friends.

[sheshe2]

12. Aren't they all dmr. Hippokrits~

I sure hope the Koch's paid a dearly for the moran.

[bunnies]

11. And then theres: "isn't ran" ???

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. I cringed at that... ugh. (n/t)

[bunnies]

16. Holy shit. Look at this:

Mullin was born on July 26, 1977 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[1] He graduated from Stilwell High School in Stilwell, Oklahoma.[2] He attended Missouri Valley College in 1996.[1]

Mullin took over the family business, Mullin Plumbing, from his father at age 20, when his father fell ill.[2] When Mullin took over the business, they had six employees and had over $500,000 in debt. He expanded the company into a statewide business with more than 100 workers.[3] Mullin owns several other businesses, including Mullin Properties, Mullin Farms, and Mullin Services.[4] Mullin received his Associate in Applied Science in construction technology from Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in 2010.[1] He hosted House Talk, a home improvement radio program based in Tulsa station KFAQ and syndicated across Oklahoma.[1][5]

Despite his vocal opposition to the "physically fit" receiving government assistance,[6] and description of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as a “horrible waste of tax dollars”, Mullin's plumbing business took approximately $370,000 of government funds from that program.[7]

They're such freakin' hypocrites!

[Cha]

13. Is he going to let us in on what the

Fourth Branch of Government is? We'd like to what we all missed in Civics class!

I do like what he said about this..

"As long as those three branches control it, then we all have to figure out how to negotiate. Not all of us is going to get 100% of what we want, but we should do what’s right.”

Thanks she~

[sheshe2]

40. Businessmen shouldn't be in government.

I think it's reached the point where, if you're successful in business, you've developed a dangerous amount of sociopathic behaviors and shouldn't be in government.
