Since we are on the eve of Thanksgiving Day, it seemed appropriate to express thanks to people for their singular contribution to the knowledge and welfare of the body politic.
John Boehner -- for giving new meaning to the first law of politics: You have to know how to fake sincerity.
Mitch McConnell -- for putting on his Darth Vadar mask so we can see who he really is and what he stands for.
Mamoud Ahmadinejad -- that he doesn't have any more syllables in his name.
Hamid Karzai -- that his efforts to hide his corruption behind a benign countenance are futile.
President Obama -- that MAYBE he has finally had at least a dim epiphany about bipartisanship. (Couldn't hedge it any more than that.)
Hillary Clinton -- for not putting anything in writing about her future political plans.
Joe Miller -- thank God the Tea Party loved him.
Christine O'Donnell -- ditto her.
Sarah Palin -- for the TV reality show, Saturday Night Live.
Tea Party -- for illuminating what is meant by the "dark side".
Glenn Beck -- whose next book should be "Crying All the Way to the Bank Wrapped in a Flag".
Gene Autry -- for living on in old westerns for us old folk.

I'm thankful for Texas jurors who know a crook when they see one.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for Sarah Palin once again displaying her presidential qualifications. Not only does she have eyesight keen enough to see Russia from her house, she has the insight to urge us to stand tall, er, sorry, Kim Jong Il, to STAND with our North Korean ally. Take that, Barbara Bush!
Liberal Dog Charley is another thing to be thankful for this year. Have enjoyed the postings and comments. Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteSidney--
ReplyDeleteGlad to have your most worthy additions on people to be thankful for. Was never a fan of Barbara Bush until her comment. Sarah is always good for saying something stupid and for that we should indeed be thankful.
Cosmo--
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase something George M. Cohan said in "Yankee Doodle Dandy"-- My wife thanks you, Gene Autry thanks you, and I thank you.
Barney Frank (among others) - for helping to re-establish the need for Congressional term limits
ReplyDeleteOkay, but reluctantly, I'll swap you Barney Frank for John Boehner, but you also have to throw in Eric Cantor.
