Once the Jackets and Ties Come Off, You Know the Pants Are Next

They didn’t really do the “You-Know-We’re-Serious-Because-Our-Sleeves-Are-Rolled-Up” thing, did they? Gawd.

I guess there weren’t enough wife-beaters and hard-hats in the GOP prop room.

I was kinda expecting matching red and black lumberjack flannels à la Lamar Alexander (and shamelessly stolen Rare Bearded Arctic Weasel Joe Miller).

PS: I recognize Cantor and the odious Pence. Who are the other two?

Not sure. I think they came with catalog.

Did His Orangeness lose the color for the midterms? And what’s with the anticipation on Cantor’s face? Pence is fucking stupid.

Anybody NOT see this, watch. It’s priceless.

Caption from WaPo (minus Pence on the, heh-heh, far right):

From left are, Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Va., Boehner, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

Oh, and the pic used here excludes Roskam, who is in the WaPo photo.

Actually, this is so retro I kind of like it.

It’s a glance into the museum that used to be America before post-modernism.

Gives new meaning to the name Village People, doesn’t it?

In the Beltway
You can shape the meme with ease
In the Beltway
Peddle lies and crap and sleaze
In the Beltway
Get your face on Fox teevees
In the Beltway, in the Beltway!

We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!

Allan, I know nothing about your current living arrangments but I’m moving in this Sunday.

By the way, in light of the news of Boehner’s alleged affair with a lobbyist (yes, it appears he was in bed with a lobbyist as well as in bed with lobbyists in general), it is absolutely forbidden to mispronounce his name for humorous effect.

Because that would be wrong.

but I’m moving in this Sunday.

Fine. But don’t even think about taking my albums when you go.

Strange, do you now feel like the unpopular girl underneath the bleachers with the star quarterback, realizing that he’ll never take you out “in the light of day?” Because I think maybe there’s someone out there who understands your pain. You don’t need to go through this alone.

yes, it appears he was in bed with a lobbyist as well as in bed with lobbyists in general

If I dwell on this thought it could cause me to lose my lunch.  Better get back to work. ;-)

And what’s with the anticipation on Cantor’s face?

Maybe Cantor was anticipating the Boehner affair story was about to become public knowledge, ergo he’s about to become the House Republican Leader.  I just hope this NY Times story isn’t something easily debunked like the McCain campaign story in early ‘08. 
The bad news for my district(Cantor’s district) is that Cantor would become the most powerful Republican in Congress if the Times story forces Boehner out, or at least forces him to give up his leadership role.
However,on the national level, Cantor would make a great foil for Obama.

I just hope this NY Times story isn’t something easily debunked like the McCain campaign story in early ‘08.

If there’s any truth in it, I just hope it’s not another “Whitey tape.” My suspicion whiskers start twitching whenever I hear somebody’s holding a scandal till October. If the information’s out there, no way one paper can embargo it.
