Scarborough calls Repuke Congressmen "sleazy"

Senate playing games with soldiers' safety (Joe Scarborough)

Reports from Washington this morning tell us that Republican senators are going to attach part of the President's illegal alien amnesty program to an emergency-spending bill.

You pick the most offensive bill you can find and attach it to a piece of legislation that everyone knows must be passed.

So what have Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate decided to hold hostage?

The safety of U.S. troops overseas.

U.S. Senators are holding American soldiers and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan hostage because of this Illegal Immigrant Protection bill. And these politicians have done it by tying the Illegal Alien Protection Act with an $80 billion Emergency Funding bill aimed at funding our troops overseas.

Why would they do this?

Well, senators play these sleazy games because it provides them cover when they are back in their home districts explaining to a local yokel why they had to vote for that terrible amnesty bill.

"Those rascals in the Senate," I can almost hear him say to the star-struck constituent, "well, they attached the dad burn amnesty program to a funding bill for our troops. I had to vote for it because I couldn't leave our young boys over there without any support, could I?"

2. Breaking news: Scarborough calls Condit an intern killer!

not really but it's about the same. Attaching shit to bills isn't anything new, it's just more of the same assholery.

3. Mmm hmm

If anyone should know sleazy it's Joe.

[grumpy old fart]

4. Scarborough's head is so far up his ass it's sickening.....

Every time something like this comes up, he acts like he's shocked and disgusted. Yet he supported the chimps election, and champions the chimps agenda. Just another dumb, stupid, repuke, shocked by his own party's actions, and supporting them all the way.

[gratuitous]

5. That's like being called clueless by Rush!

A pretty heavy indictment to have Joe Scarborough call you sleazy.
