The Fine Art Of Hypocrisy

All of the right wing-nut blowhards on radio, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and Sean Hannity are bashing the unions.  What you might not know is that they are all members of AFTRA along with Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin.  AFTRA of course is part of the AFL-CIO. Obviously they are also all members of The Hypocrite Society.  They get together once a day and talk out of both sides of their mouth at the same time.  Their motto is “The grass is greener on both sides of the fence.”

Michelle Obama’s national initiative targeting childhood obesity has drawn criticism from some conservatives who see it as an example of the government trying to exert more control over people's lives. Now these are the same conservatives who are against a woman’s right to choose, ie Roe vs Wade.  Most of these folks call themselves pro-life and are for the death penalty. Do I smell a little hypocrisy here?

How about the Tea Partiers?  This bunch is hammering on Congress to cut spending and shrink the government.  Now these people didn’t just move here last year.  No, they sat on their dead asses and didn’t make a peep while George W and the Republicans during their eight years in power started two wars and spent money like they were Democrats.

But the real winners in the fine art of hypocrisy goes to the U.S. government doctors who once thought it was fine to experiment on disabled people and prison inmates. Such experiments included giving hepatitis to mental patients in Connecticut, squirting a pandemic flu virus up the noses of prisoners in Maryland, and injecting cancer cells into chronically ill people at a New York hospital.

This all came out after the government's apology last fall for federal doctors infecting prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis 65 years ago.  I don’t know about you, but I would love to do a little experimenting on these jackasses..  I guess these doctors missed the memo about “Do no harm first.”


And Now For Something Completely Different.


The missing Democrats in Wisconsin are now being referred to as the Wisconsin 14.  Wow, they will go into the history books along side the Chicago Seven, The Big Ten, The Indianapolis 500, San Francisco Forty Niners and Super Bowl XLIII.  Let’s not forget, Route 66, The Dirty Dozen, Butterfield Eight, , Henry the VIII, U-2, and Ocean's Eleven.  My many friends reminded me there is also The Fab Four, The Kingston Trio, The Terrible Two’s, The Three Amigos, The Dave Clark Five, Three Dog Night and Forty From The Top. 

Italian President Silvio Berlusconi gave a belly dancer over $300,000 dollars in gifts and Charlie Sheen spent $470,000 dollars buying cars for porn stars.  Damn, the wages of sin have gone up.

Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell says she's been invited to be a contestant on TV's "Dancing with the Stars." This doesn’t seem fair to me.  Christy being a former witch could probably put a spell on the other contestants and make them fall down a lot.

Moammar Gadhfi, his friends call him Moe, has pulled ahead of Hoss Murbarak and Kim Jon sic in the wackiest dictator in the world award.  I am surprised Moe’s brothers; Curly, Larry and Shemp haven’t said anything about all of this. 


Stay tuned for future adventures.
