"people who ought to be shot"

Ralph 'n Bawney
without comment



 I have to comment.  Nader intentionally or unintentionally used the wrong premise.  Yes his House Banking Committee rejected every warning about housing derivatives, but Barney was instrumental in forcing banks to make the bad loads which led to them.  As Saturday Night Life famously put it, Barney Frank should be shot.

Errata.  In an earlier scribble I said that SNL commented that Barney Frank should to be shot.  That should have been among "people"  like Herbert and Marion Sandler who "ought to be shot!."  Subject to interpretation, but I regret the error. 

PS- In the original skit (via Pat Dollard) Sandler addresses Frank, saying, “And thank you Congressman Frank as well as many Republicans (who?) for helping block Congressional oversight of our corrupt activities.”

To which Frank replies enthusiastically, “Not at all!”

To borrow from Rodney Dangerfield and Mae West, when Barney was born the doctor should have slapped his mother. And his mother should have thrown the kid away and kept the stork.

Here is an 2004 archived newspaper article from the East African Standard about Obama's Kenyan birth!

To expand on Ron's post about Bawney - - The day Bawney was born, his parents should have traded him off for a yellow dog, then shot the dog.

But then, the same could be said for Obama's parents, but maybe they couldn't find any yellow dogs in Kenya at the time.
