"You must be joking." "Do I look like I'm joking?" "Well..."

No fucking way.

Basically, the only differences between me and this guy are that a) I'm not evil and b) I don't get his fucking pension and benefits for life for doing JACK SHIT with my time. Otherwise, I could be a US Senator! I use movies to prove my points all the fucking time. Tell me it wouldn't be goddamned HIGH-FUCKING-LARIOUS for US Senator TrinityVixen to get her pant-suited ass up in front of Congress and go, "We need to do what the fuck I say, when the fuck I say it because I heard this guy in this movie that ONLY I HAVE SEEN (taps picture of said guy) said so."

Motherfucker.

You know, there are plenty of perfectly good reasons to oppose the bailout plans. There are some half-decent ones to support them. Why does congress insist on using and harping on the stupidest ones they can come up with for both sides?

Because they forget that what we allow on the campaign trail--McCain's "celebrity" ad, for example--looks re-goddamned-diculous when performed in the Senate chambers. It's not the Houses of Parliament.

(I wish. Gordon Brown flubbed a line about "saving the banks" as "saving the world," and a room full of MPs laughed in his goddamned face, it was great.)

Because Congress is composed of people who are appealing to its constituencies, who are predominantly drooling simpletons.
