Top 10 Most Odious Phrases in the English Language: #5

As the heat from MSM outlets everywhere increases on Republicans to cave on health care and cap-and-trade, be on the lookout for the fifth nastiest phrase in the Queen's English:

"Political Courage" -- The character quality that causes a politician to do some wild-ass liberal thing that will make newsrooms across America spontaneously erupt in cheers and applause. Accordingly, such acts of political courage are objectively praised by MSM outlets everywhere. The Great American Center, though they are not liberal, of course -- approves and is heartened that there is hope for our political system and Bipartisanship.

Hey, this reminds me. Remember Dan Rather's sign off ... courage? Now you know what he meant.

Joe Wilson had political courage. And, as I recall, Dan Rather's tag line was "porridge". At least it sounded that way on my old Sylvania portable.

Political courage is what you display when you happen upon a disabled buck.

You're armed with your blunderbuss and finish him off, mount his head and rack on the wall and then contrive a story about your two-day effort to track him, and then kill him with your #2 Eberhard Faber pencil.

You tell your story to your kids, and so begin a generational lie, and expand it in the memoir you produce at government expense.

For those of you who don't know... Priscila is my ex-wife. Don't be fooled by the photo. Lately she resembles Rosie O'Donnell with a crew cut.

Gosh, I can't get the image of Rhod studying his pencils to memorize the manufacturer ...

Blunderbuss? Kapow!! (there you go, Gene) S. Thes. strikes again. I be back in a jiffy. Wait a minute ... I thought the Blunderbus was Joe Biden's answer to the Straight Talk Express.

Priscilla, pay no attention to the dirty old man, Goomba. He jokes like that about all of my female fans.

And Gene, thanks. But again ... don't make me come to your room ... get some clothes on.

ILBR,

Thank you. There will be a quiz at the end. I will be mailing out Eberhard Fabers tomorrow.

I remember when the first congress critter decided to diddle an underage page in some gay pedophilia thing. Democrats to this day call his actions "acts of political courage". Oh, and he stayed on in congress until he retired. Though recently they brought the topic up in some celebration JUST for that "act of political courage".

Thanks for the hammer and nail. 'Back to you, Bob.'

Doom, I think you are swerving into BiPartisanship, ethics panels and such. Recall the purpose of these things and you won't go wrong.

Carry on.

I knew Eberhard Faber, DC. He was a friend of mine. You're no Eberhard Faber. You're more of a Ticonderoga.

Fact: Henry David Thoreau perfected the graphite pencil.

DC, I think he's callin' you yella!

Quit stirrin' the caca, Nick. Any one who recalls the fat pencil days with fondness is not allowed to be part of this discussion.
