You’re just now figuring this shit out ?

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has been battling the banks the last few weeks in an effort to get 60 votes lined up for bankruptcy reform. He’s losing.

On Monday night in an interview with a radio host back home, he came to a stark conclusion: the banks own the Senate.

“And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place,” he said on WJJG 1530 AM’s “Mornings with Ray Hanania.” Progress Illinois picked up the quote.

Really?  You’ve just come to the conclusion that the banks own Washington because they oppose this bill?

You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when politicians got rid of all the regulation that was in place for 50 years?  You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when they got bailed out during the Savings and Loans scandal?  You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when they said, “Fuck you” and gave out huge bonuses this year?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Dick Durbin, you’re a goddamn idiot.  How the hell do you still have a job?   I mean, if you’re just now realizing the banks own Washington, what else haven’t you realized?   Do you still think Iraq has WMDs?  Do you still think there’s a link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein?  Do you still think Ronald Reagan was kept in the dark about Iran-Contra?

Goddammit.  You’ve been a member of Congress since January 3, 1983, so you know the banks own Washington.  You also know that Wall Street owns Washington, the Pharmaceutical industry owns Washington, the Military owns Washington, the Prison industry owns Washington, and the Prostitution industry owns Washington.

So quit acting like this is a huge surprise, and get back to doing your goddamn job – fucking over minorities, giving billions of dollars to Wall Street, and choosing which country we bomb next.

Today marks the day that Barack Obama gets sworn in as President of the United States and since this huge jerk-off festival is costing taxpayers 150 million dollars, I feel like I have a say in what goes on.  So here is a list of things that better happen today or the next time I travel up to Washington, I’m going to leave a flaming plastic bag of my shit on the front steps of the White House.

• Barack Obama wearing an all white business suit that makes P. Diddy jealous.
• Sean Hannity telling Barack Obama’s kids that Santa Claus isn’t real, then licking their face so he can taste their tears.
  
• Barack Obama executing whoever hired Garth Brooks to sing on Monday.
• Garth Brooks being beheaded by Lil Wayne and Jack Black.
• A gay transvestite Puerto Rican midget punching Rick Warren in the nuts then announcing they’re lovers.
• Nancy Pelosi stripped of her Speaker of the House status and pushed down the Capital steps.
• Beyonce giving Barack Obama a lap dance while Jay-z weeps in a corner.
• Dick Cheney getting stabbed in the heart by a homeless WWII veteran.
• The announcement that marijuana is now legal.
• George Bush dying in plane crash.
• Bill O’Reilly getting caught on his knees tossing Barney Frank’s salad.
• Glenn Beck getting hit by a bus.
• News that the new bailout money will go directly to the American people.
• And…Barack Obama agreeing to deport my old computer science teacher because he’s a dick.

Now I understand why Congress’ approval rating sucks ass. Its members try to pass stupid laws like this:

The senator overseeing Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony said Monday she’s writing to Internet sites like eBay asking them not to sell scalped inauguration tickets.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., also said she’s crafting a bill that would make a federal crime of selling tickets to the historic event Jan. 20.

Feinstein, who chairs the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said she foresees overwhelming demand for the 240,000 available tickets and has heard reports they may be sold for as much as $40,000 online.

The tickets are supposed to be free to the public and distributed through congressional offices.
Lawmakers’ offices won’t get the tickets until shortly before the inauguration, to try to prevent scalping. In-person pickup will be required.

“These tickets are given for free to people. This is a major civic event of the time, and no one pays for their tickets, and we believe no one should be required to pay for their tickets,” Feinstein said in an interview.

Instead of passing laws that would allow our troops to come home,  end the bailout on Wall Street, reduce our dependency of oil, return our civil liberties, close Guantanamo Bay, legalize gay marriage, end the Fed, end the War on Drugs, fix Health care system, fix Social Security, or help the poor; Senator Dianne Feinstein wants to pass a law that would make it a crime to scalp a ticket?

Why is this stupid bitch a Senator and how many dicks did she suck to get elected?

At this critical time in our nation’s history why does she want to pass a fucking law like this?

Christ…what’s wrong with scalping a ticket for 44,000 dollars?

YOU can take OUR money and give it to Wall Street but WE can’t use YOUR ticket and make money?

Fuck you.

I hope this Senator dies in a brutal biker gang bang.

And if this bill passes I hope every member of Congress gets herpes and gives it to their entire family before suffocating on their illegal immigrant poolboy’s large brown dick.
