In an amazing display of either chutzpah, or a total lack of irony, 42 freshman republican congressmen sent a letter to President Obama this week pleading with him to call off the attack dogs regarding their 'Yes' votes to end Medicare as we know it in the US. These are the very same attack dogs that went after 'Obamacare' last summer with such venom and vitriole at Town Hall meetings that some of them ended in fisticuffs. Now the tables have been turned and they themselves are on the receiving end of the venom and vitriole, and all of a sudden it's time to "stop the political rhetoric" and have "fact-based discussions". My sincere and genuine hope is that the President responds to this letter by suggesting very politely and very eloquently that they should just go fuck themselves.
He probably won't. But it would be awesome if he did, you know, go a little bit Samuel L. Jackson on their weenie freshmen asses. Grab them by the scruff of the neck and explain, in very small words if necessary, that you don't get to poison the debate with lies and misinformation and rile up the unruly mob but then as soon as soon as someone else uses the same tactic on you, cry foul and try and claim the moral high ground.
More likely in the real world he'll probably just flash that sly little grin he has and give them the "I just had Osama Bin Laden killed, who the fuck do you think you're talking to" look and leave it at that.
Regardless, what this clearly shows is that republicans are either hypocrites or pussies.
Or both.
