Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley Doesn’t Want New Yorkers Making ‘Us Midwesterners Look Bad’

Picture 2 video

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley was having none of his colleague Sen. Chuck Schumer‘s attitude on the Senate floor today. Asked if he would yield to a question after speaking against the elimination of the Bush-era tax cuts, Grassley acceded, but not before chastising Schumer for being one of those “New Yorkers” who “think you can make us Midwesterners look bad.”

Auto-Tune the News Has Jumped the Auto-Shark

If you, like me, are a vicious cad, when you saw the first two videos in the wildly popular Auto-Tune the News series (here’s the first and here’s the second), you probably thought, “this is great, but what’s with all the weird glowing people who keep popping up and interrupting the funny singing newscasters?”

Who’s Behind The Obama-As-Hitler Posters?

Yesterday, Rep. Barney Frank got in a heated exchange with a questioner at a Massachusetts Town Hall, who held up a poster of President Barack Obama overlaid prominently with a Hitler mustache. “Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy?” she demanded. His response: “On what planet do you spend most of your time?”

Great sound bite, but actually, it’s this one — and she shares it with LarouchePac, the political action committee run by Lyndon LaRouche. Which just happens to be mass-manufacturing those Obama-as-Hitler posters.

Barney Frank Pwns Crazy Town Hall Questioner

On what planet do you spend most of your time?”

Maybe that’s how to handle crazy Town Hall protesters: Call them on their crazy. Barney Frank did just that last night, in a moment from last night’s Town Hall in Dartmouth, Massachusetts that is all but designed to go viral.

When a woman stood up and compared President Barack Obama to Hitler, Frank responded: “It is a tribute to the First Amendment that this sort of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated.”

Senate Twitter Smackdown! Specter and Grassley Get Into It On Twitter

Looks like Senator Arlen Specter learned a little something from that feisty health care town hall he held last week — at least on Twitter, where rants are at least limited to 140 characters. Specter’s target: Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who has emerged as a voice promoting the “death panel” myth.
