“Squeaky Clean”? Umm… Not So Much After All
That’s right, folks — the one-time “honorable mention” in the Señor Juan Sidney McCain (of Arizona Panama) Paŕa Él Presidenté “Veepstakes” before Panama John decided ultimately to become my former Wasilla, Alaska classmate’s, Sarah “Barracuda” Palin’s sidekick, has made yet another “boo-boo”.
First notable “boo-boo”, which was pretty much swept under the rug was when he called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the carpet for taking care of “Hubby Pelosi” during “Tuna-Gate“. Not that Mrs. Pelosi deserved a pass for the crooked exemption — indeed, she did; it just didn’t sound too good coming from a man who it later turned out was knee-deep in at least ONE scandalous arrangement with Jack Abramoff (HuffPo).
Fast-forward to today and now we learn (courtesy of HuffPo again) Mr. “Squeaky Clean” was spotted gettin’ down and dirty at the latest Britney Spears concert while President Obama was conducting a very important presser during this economic emergency. Bring in the “Uh-Oh Squad” quickly — looks like the hapless Republican Party will be needing a new “G.O.P. Rising Star” soon at this rate.
First we learn “Mr. Squeaky Clean” was in bed with Jack Abramoff and now Britney Spears? I’m not jumping to conclusions on the latter — I’m just saying it isn’t all that far-fetched considering the source and considering the FACT it is the (so-called) “Religious Right” who does keep the adult entertainment “bidness” in “bidness” after all. Not saying Britney Spears is an “adult entertainer” in that sense of the phrase but she IS (arguably, I suppose) both an adult and an entertainer.

Other blogger reactions: Matthew O’Keefe of Papamoka Straight Talk is hosting the video of the Obama presser so Mr. Cantor, after taking his shower can catch up on the important stuff he missed; Joe Gandelman of The Moderate Voice points out the obvious; The Jammie Wearing Fool (Right) claims Britney Spears once asked him for cocaine; Think Progress points out the irony in the Right giving a pass to Mr. Cantor while punishing President Obama for filling out his NCAA Tournament Bracket

This is a non-story. It will get some attention for a few days (probably by the Right, announcing it as an attempt to deflect attention from the “real” issues that we are facing), and then it will fade away. It shouldn’t get more attention than it already has, though it probably will.

More newsworthy is this story about the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejecting a lawsuit by a high school valedictorian who used her pulpit to proselytize to the graduates and their class.

The real story is that the “CRISIS” that the democrats are cooking up daily is no better on display then someone actually choosing to live their life instead of huddled in “FEAR” as the Barak Obama democrats want us to do so they can pass their humongous Nanny State budget and sweep capitalism under the rug and head full tilt down the road to “European Socialism” which of course we all know is now bankrupt.
Thats the real story.

Hmm, haven’t you folks on the left been telling us that we need to concentrate on the issues that American find important? Now we get this Manufactured Liberal Outrage.
Meanwhile, Cantor did not leave the NRCC fundraiser till 9pm, so he could have watched most of the snoozefest. And, he could also read the transcript after the fact, which is what the Democrat leaders, including Barry, forced people to do with the Stimulus bill. Something a sight more important then going to see Brit Brit.
Why no mention of the Dems who were supposedly there, too, GTL?

It’s an idiot that see’s any public servant as a rising star. See a public servant as someone that is supposed to be working and nothing more.

Lamest column — ever

Non-story, though your commentary did make me giggle a bit. (Brittney Spears not an adult entertainer… Four words… “If You Seek Amy.”)
Why some news outlets chose to air this two days in a row, I have no idea. I just rolled my eyes when I heard it. Honestly, I can’t blame anyone for not listening to every single news conference. I still get annoyed when the president interrupts my favorite prime time shows. Bastard.
I’m more ticked off about other things right now (see my most recent blog posting)– though it’s more hindsight. I’m also pissed that my senator was one of many who recently said that offering solutions to fix the economy was not his job. Like HELL do I pay his salary to sit on his ass and do nothing.

Okay, OKAYYYYY — I admit it: I saw the story and the photoshop in my pea brain instantly. Not saying I’d ever write a column simply to justify a photoshop, but…
