So a guy walks into a bar:
ARMEY: Politics is silly, it’s inane and practitioners of politics are people to take what amusement you can from them but don’t take them seriously.
WALSH: But this is serious business. This is serious business, the economy is a wreck, and it’s been wrecked by the Bush White House….
ARMEY: It is!
WALSH: … and by Republicans in Congress with a lot of Democratic help, with a lot of help. And now President Obama…
ARMEY: Oh give it, give it a rest.
WALSH: Please stop saying give it a rest, do you have anything else to say?
ARMEY: Well, yeah…
WALSH President Obama has a mandate for change, your people have stood in his way, they’re standing in his way on Capitol Hill right now…
ARMEY: Oh bless my heart.
WALSH: …and Rush limbaugh is making ridiculous statements and Republicans are crawling to him and groveling…
ARMEY: Okay, all right…
WALSH: That’s the state of our economy and our world right now Representative Armey, and it’s sad.
ARMEY: i am so damn glad that you can never be my wife, cause I surely wouldn’t have to listen to that prattle from you every day. That is what I’m talking about.
WALSH: Well, boy, that makes two of us sir.
MATTHEWS: That’s not prattle.
ARMEY: She’s making political malarkey….
WALSH: That was really an outstanding comment.
MATTHEWS: It’s not prattle.
ARMEY: The fact of the matter is, look, y-look, ylook ma’am. Ah you can…ah…y-y-y-you’re m… you’re talking like a paid political hack here, making your political points.
WALSH: Am I sir?
ARMEY: Are we going to talk seriously about…..
WALSH: No I actually care about social justice, I care about jobs, I care about the economy.
I guess watching the GOP forced to kiss Rush Limbaugh’s pilonidal cyst made him feel a bit un-manly, especially after his own sad history as Dick Cheney’s bitch. Why he felt the need to reassert his masculinity by publicly losing his mind on TV I can’t say, but I imagine having America watch Joan Walsh’s boot go up his ass wasn’t what he had in mind.
He looks drunk on more than just ambition.

I have enjoyed the “Rush is leading your party” meme at work. Pisses the righties off to no end!
I think that needs fixing, lurking mod.
Oh, what a piece of work is Armey.
Dick, Dick the Mandate for Change Obama has is to change things from the way you Bush and the Blue Dogs ran Washington.
What do you want to bet that the no strings Bank Bailout is less popular than the Big Three Bailout.
What do you want to bet that forcing the Big Three to make more hybrids is something that the American People want more than Union pay and Benefit cuts?
The Change Obama has a Mandate for is what the Left has been pushing for all along.
I have missed you Jane. Welcome back.
Arney makes me ashamed to be a Ph.D. in economics, except that I got mine from Jim Tobin, not Oral Roberts University of god-knows-what. Poor thugs. They are wandering around drinking whatever piss they they can find in the nearest pot, and thinking it’s water. It would be funny, if it weren’t so sad.
Can’t.Stop.Laughing!
Who wants to bet Armey went home tonight and beat the crap out of his wife who was down in the basement all day tied to the washing machine. Spit.
I hate right wingers. I would be thrilled to have lesbians running everything on the planet just because I know the right wingers would be having heart attacks and dying!
Okay. Going to bed now. Nite nite everyone!
Or put it another way Dick just what kind of Change do you think Obama has a Mandate for?
Somehow I think tax cuts is not anywhere on the list. Unless you poll 22%ers!
Thank you, ET
I don’t think I have ever seen him when he was totally sober. He always looks and sounds slightly drunk.
Jane, correction:
Joan Walsh said this tonight. ;-)
Ya know, I hadn’t thought about hittin’ my boss with a line like that. Now I’ve got something to look forward to at work tomorrow. Dude’s a walking, talking Drudge parrot.
Namaste, Kay
He got a degree from Oral Roberts? But he seems so Chicago School I guess nobody else would take him.
Investigating these Bible Diploma mills and what they actually do teach would be interesting.
Does anyone want a Bible School person to be their Doctor?
I saw that this afternoon. What a dickhead.
Thanks. All fixed up now.
If the GOP keeps this up, they soon may be an “Armey of One.”
Only if I need a prostate exam.
Ho boy, I can see it now. Regent University Medical School. Where do I sign up?
You might wanna think about that one.
“Shucks ma’am, they sure did name that Armey correct-like.”
Why?
Do they have giant class rings?
Let’s make a petition to kick Armey off the tv. His remarks are offensive, chauvinistic, bigoted crap. Sure it’s all he could do to distract from the issue, but he went too far with the bitchy wife diatribe. The asshole belongs in the stone age – not on tv.
Thanks, busted. Every once in a while I revert.
Digg it.
Joan Walsh handled it so well. Very classy!
I came to FDL for the waters and to be rid of reminders of gynephobes like Armey.
A graduate of Regent U Med School would be the last person I’d want a finger wave from.
I saw this “live” this afternoon and shot off a missive before the ugly mug was off the tv.
Joan was a pro, gracious…and let Dick look like the asshole he is.
Chauvinism, the last refuge of a Republican pundit.
Actually the last refuge of a Rethug pundit is a slight depression under a slimy rock.
With trolls to lick their toes.
Don’t forget this was the same guy that delivered Bob Hope’s premature eulogy on the House floor. He was probably drunk then too.
I love the way the transcript reads:
Its like she calls him “boy”.
He’s also wearing far too much make-up (powder). Don’t know if this is MSNBC’s fault or his own, but please. This would not be acceptable if a woman wore it.
Smart ass answer:
Armey is a jerk.But what was more astounding was to see Matthews sit there without telling Armey he was disrespectful to Walsh.But my goosh why are folks watching Matthews’ show?he more than anyone allows his guests to get away with lies,especially the Repukes.You couldn’t pay me to watch Matthews or David Gregory.
So nice to see you!
So the two prime Republican right now are a Rush and a Dick.
Talk about creeps putting the thug in Rethuglican….
Firedoglake Video Services – Keeping watch and capturing the odious, so you don’t have to.
Gonna go read a bit before I climb into my tree.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
Back at ya! It’s been awhile ; )
Peace, SD
Armey grew up in rural North Dakota, living in the farming town of Cando. He attended Jamestown College, earning his bachelor’s degree. Armey then proceeded to receive a master’s degree from the University of North Dakota and a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma. Armey is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.[1]
Remember when Dick Armey said during the Paula Jones Everchanging Lawsuit phase of CoupGate (aka the endgame of the years-long witchhunt against Bill Clinton)? How if he were in a similar situation that he’d step down from his job?
Go pick up a copy of Glass Houses and start at page 44. Armey was such a known letch when he taught economics that not only did several female students complain about him, one of them actually asked for another professor to grade her work as she was afraid of reprisals from Armey for failing to yield to his advances.
Hiya, rw!
More recently he lived in Denton, Texas and was a member of the House from that district. I’m in Fort Worth and SERIOUSLY thought about moving there about 10 or years ago and running against him. I’m glad he’s gone! ; )
Dick Armey, just before election day
For the record, I’d be ticked if someone ‘came to my rescue’ like I couldn’t take care of myself.
huh – didn’t catch it the first coupla times, but Representative
Dickdick does sound way sloshed….Hi
My son lived in Denton before moving to Lake Dallas. Hope he had a chance to vote against the guy.
Alternatively, Tweety does have an interest in keeping his show free of that crap, whether he sees it and accepts it or not.
That’s his house, his platform, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Tweety who got home to find a iron-skillet-wielding spouse.
The US and Australia both experienced being populated by the criminals from England- which explains republicans.
and John Howard.
watertiger upstairs!
Wall Street Bonuses Down 44%. Poor Babies.
He certainly behaves like an army of dicks.

I had a boss once, who upon hearing an irate client screaming at me came to make sure everything was alright. After peeking into my office, he closed the door and walked away. I figured this meant that he trusted me to difuse the situation myself and that he had confidence that I could take care of myself.
Dick Armey, PHD(Petty Hackish Dick)

“WHAT”?
If Dick Armey was MY Butler, I would not put up with such insolence from him.
Substitue the name Dick instead of Denny and this will help you understand
what Dick Armey mat be suffering from,This is from a post I saw on a different subject,but I think it fits here.
Oh, Denny! What happened to you, cha cha? That’s what happens when you step it up from drinking the kool-aid to freebasing the raw grape flavored powder off Ann Coulter’s belly of dubious sexual identity, all the while massaging Rush Limbaugh’s oxycontin numbed buttocks and debating if torture is okay as long as it doesn’t happen to the “hip” kids and coming to the conclusion “of course it is”.
Closet cases often drink to blur the painful reality of their feelings. Witness John Boehner…
Plus, during his ‘career’ in politics, he sure seemed to be about Rep. Barney Frank the way an 8th grade boy is about a girl he’s crushing on.
Only the 8th grade boy probably behaved with more class…
