Who was the guy who said lesbianism was so rampant in his area’s school that the teachers had to send girls to the bathroom one at a time? Doesn’t sound like much of a problem to me…
But he was a CEO! He has leadership experience! He can be the CEO president, running America just like a well oiled company. We know conservatives are good at that, right? Wait, you say he drove all his companies into the ground? Why do you hate America?
I hear ya. I don’t like the image of gay guys having butt sex. I also don’t like the idea of fat people having normal straight sex, probably even moreso than the former. But I’m pretty sure there are more fat straight people than gay people and you don’t see me talking about how fattie sex is an abomination.

What a fucking depressing list from that other thread, including this submission.
One of them you missed was this gem; Senator Tom Coburn is quoted from an address to the Rogers (Oklahoma) County Republicans, as saying, “The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. … That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.” And that’s the guy George W. Bush picked to be the Co-Chair of the President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (a post he currently holds).
I just want to pound the brains of every one of the fucking idiots who justified electing this goddamn moron by saying that at least he’d surround himself with competent people.
It just keeps getting worse.

Aw, come on! Coburn’s not that bad! He’s the guy who told us to imagine what rampant teenaged lesbianism would be like!
:::closes eyes and begins fapping furiously:::
Uh, excuse me! Now, where was I? Oh, yes, expecting this Admin to pick competent people is like expecting those “ex-gay” programs to really work.
Bush is a fucking genius. He sees that some of his political opponents are on the committee, so he ships over a candidate that doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning but will make the committee look as if they are pro-gay and anti-Christian. If you don’t think the right wing spin machine already has articles pre-written about the “anti-family, pro-gay, anti-God Democrats” on the committee, you must have been born yesterday. They are damned if they pass him, and damned if they don’t.

As soon as I saw his picture, I thought, "Hey, wasn’t this guy already Surgeon General during the Reagan administration?

While he might resemble C. Everett Coop physically, but it’s obvious that there’s no ideological resemblance. Which is a shame, because Coop let the science shape his opinions and not the other way around.

As I’ve said many times, there are LOTS and LOTS of competent, smart, talented conservatives running around in Washington. I’ve met some of them. For some reason, however, this administration seems to have shied away from these people like the plague.
[/QUOTE]
It from them, and them from it. People have been leaving government in droves for years, conservative and liberal, because their alternative was throwing away their principles, intelligence or their professional skills. Bush wants people who’ll be loyal and follow the party line no matter how stupid or crazy it is, and that’s not really compatable with “competent, smart, talented” anything.
Also, at this point as tomndebb points out, the more capable people may not want to have anything to do with the Bushites. Look at the wonders they did for Colin Powell’s reputation, or look at all the retired generals who turned down the “opportunity” to be war czar.
There’s also the argument that the Bush Admin is full of anti-government righties who want the the government to be discredited as a solution to problems, and WANT the government to fail, as badly and publicly as possibile. So they deliberately choose people who have no talent, training or concern for the job, hoping for disasters like Katrina where the government will be seen to fail.

Well, you know how when you’re starving and there’s someone sitting across the room eating a sandwich? And you’re so desperately hungry and they have a bit of mayo dangling from their lower lip? And you are just so hungry and there you are staring and fixedly at that titillating rope of mayo?
Sometimes it gets so bad that you just have to go over there, grab the guy, and then bend him over and fuck his ass right there on the bench.

The Hershey Highway is one bitch of a commute.

You do realize that (a) this is the accurate road name for US 322 east from Harrisburg to Hershey PA; (b) it is a highly congested area during rush hour (I forebear to make the obvious puns); (c) jayjay and supervenusfreak, whenever they need to take a run into Harrisburg, have to use the Hershey Highway.
