    That was great ! And I’m glad that the SD Chicken can still get work. Sen Schumer and I seem to have different interpetations of the word “rude”.

    Oh man, that looks like so much fun… I wonder if they’d be upset if we did this on a State level? We’ve got just as bad of a problem up here in Washington State (per capita) as California does.

    Yep, only thing that was missing (at least I didn’t see it in the picture) was yet MORE bags of Pork Rinds for these “chattering class” to present to Schumer.

    What was funnier/scarrier was that Sen Snowe didn’t even realize that she was being made fun of. Talk about out of touch.

    I believe it serves as a microcosm of what Obama voters can expect their 4 year ride to be!

    Kind of like the fake “winning” Lottery tickets; you know, the ones that are redeemable at “yo momma’s house”?

    We gotta have some fun; they found a way to bring a little levity to the times we’re in as well as make a point. Bravo!

    Very true but then some of us think that being told we were going to get “hope and change” only to get a VERY large bill is cruel. They would argue that taking what we’ve worked hard to bring in being distributed to pay mortgages of bus drivers that over bought is cruel.

    Fact of the matter is these young people used humor and parody to get their point across, far more effective than, say, Code Pink and their shrill, shrieking protests, and who are, in fact, parodies of themselves.

    Yes, the lovely but financially ignorant Senator Granholm from Michigan made similar remarks. And her YouTube channel censors comments so only the fawning praise gets posted.

    I was shocked that Chuck Schumer, the permanent junior senator from NY, refused face time in front of a camera… ANY camera! This a$$clown will show up at KrispyKreme openings to flap his gums… however I notice he never shows up at any business closings brought on by his Stagnation=Progress tax and spend schemes.
