BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE
STINK NO PROGRESS HAS THEIR PANTIES IN A WAD OVER THE REMARKS OF U.S. SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER WHO HAS DECLARED THE PEOPLE DID NOT HIRE THE CONGRESS IN 2008 TO PASS OBAMACARE, THAT INSTEAD THE FOCUS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON JOBS.
STINK NO PROGRESS INSISTS SCHUMER IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
APPARENTLY PEOPLE DON'T WANT JOBS, THEY JUST WANT HEALTH CARE.
AND, IN RELATED NEWS, THEY DON'T WANT FOOD, THEY JUST WANT HEALTH CARE.
A friend at a VSO wanted to point out that Senator Murray never loses sight of veterans issues while, in the House, Corrine "Brown can't even find them." That's a very good point and one that I have missed.
At Third on Sunday, we wrote "Editorial: Corrine Brown must not be named Ranking Member" which noted how US House Rep Tim Walz was qualified to be the Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and Brown is not. We noted the nonsense Nancy Pelosi and her cronies pulled as they insisted that Walz couldn't run for Ranking Member because he wasn't a member of the Committee and only took part via a waiver. The editorial included this:
If he had to obtain a waiver to serve on the Committee?
That meant he served on the Committee.
That's what the waiver did, it made him a Committee member.
And Tim Walz asked questions in hearings, voted on the Comittee, etc.
He was a member and he participated.
Gov.track isn't confused:

In fairness to Corrine Brown, we should note that during the same period above (2008 and to the present), she also sponsored some bills.
Well . . .
Bill.
Because there was only one.
From 2008 to the present -- six years -- she only sponsored one bill having to do with veterans.
But she thinks she's earned the right to serve as Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee?
In fairness to Corrine, we should note she had other things to focus on. In the same period, she introduced two bills on Haiti. Maybe that makes her an expert on veterans? And she sponsored four bills on National Train Day.
Of course, she also had to put in a lot of time going through those mail order catalogs to buy all her hideous wigs.
Is Corrine Ranking Member?
No.
She's issued two statements already announcing she is but until January, when the new Congress starts, she's not.
And if the Democrats in the House are stupid enough to go along with Nancy, to oppose veterans groups on this issue, they better be prepared for the voter fallout in 2016, they better be prepared for the ignorant statements out of Corrine's mouth that the Democratic presidential candidate will have to respond to. This is insanity. The woman is a moron and who cannot speak. Every time she opens her mouth she either embarrasses herself or attacks veterans -- or both!
The whole party's going to suffer as a result of Nancy Pelosi's decision and that needs to be brought home to Nancy, loudly and clearly -- not the three person meet-up that took place this weekend where an attempt was made to reason with Nancy.
This issue isn't over yet, the decision can be overturned.
But if it's not, it needs to be remembered than Nancy Pelosi is responsible for Democratic losses in 2016 as Corrine Brown becomes the face of the party when it comes to veterans issues.
