Taking his cue from El Rushbo, America’s Favorite Washed-Up Action Hero offers this thoughtful critique of the stimulus bill:
There they go again! The House and Senate have buried us in yet another bailout-stimulus heaping pile of fiscal dung — a $789 billion loan that has been tacked onto our children’s (and children’s children’s) already staggering $10-plus trillion deficit. Are you just going to sit there and take another one up the tailpipe?
Good question! Are you just gonna take it, America?!
Public support for an $800 billion economic stimulus package has increased to 59% in a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Tuesday night, up from 52% in Gallup polling a week ago, as well as in late January.
Without a doubt, this country loves tailpipe action. One quibble, though: is it really possible to "take it" while sitting?
Anyway, Chuck seems to agree with Joe the Plumber that the answer to the global financial crisis is to just cut a few expenses.
If our country is to survive, we must elect only those who show proof of fiscal discipline, refuse under all circumstances to increase our national deficit, and commit to pass and live under a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget.
So by Chuck’s standard, Ronald Reagan and both Bushes TOTALLY sucked and Clinton was the best president evah!
Thanks Chuck!

Thanks, BT.
Chuck Norris is not a very bright man.
ROFLMtailpipeO!
The Stimulus:
a $789 billion loan that…..
Heard alot of stuff about the stimulus. Say what you will.
But a “loan”??
This guy is dumber ‘n dogshit.
This is why I am a fan of Blue Texan. Superb snark.
Don’t forget…Chuck and Huck broke bread and popped squirrels together
As always, the rethugs never think before they speak, or else their short term memory is shot, or else they don’t think that things like “the google” or “utube” exist, or else they don’t quite get the fact that one can quite quickly look up almost anything on the computer. Or else they are all just slobbering idiots
Chuck is right cut spending end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that would show the world that we are serious about bringing the budget under control.
Or would Chuck rather cut social security and keep the wars going.
Cutting Spending is the New GOP code for cutting Social Security.
One of BT’s greatest hits, fer shure.
It must hurt to be inside this guy Norris’s head. Seeing his cherished shibboleths about economics fall one by one has to fry the brain.
Hey, doofus — government isn’t like your household budget. When times are tough, we need to spend money we don’t have, in order to make it across the troubled waters. Then, when times are better (and a Democrat is in the White House) we pay the money back.
Your taxcut/no-spending philosophy is broken. Go away now. And take that not-a-plumber fellow with you, Chuck.
Wars and the maintenance of an empire don’t count as “costs” silly.
And “popped squirrels” is a euphemism for what, exactly?
Ow ow ow. I thought deficits didn’t matter?!! Ow, my head hurts.
I was just thinking about this today. Honest to God. Seeing all the states so fucked up… and with balanced b udget amwendments. I said “Thank God those assholes never put that over at the federal level.”
Thanks Chuck for reminding me that there are still more assholes out there than I imagined.
Norris has not been listening to Rush or else he would have learned about grabbing his ankles.
Poor fellow. Took more punches to the head than Ali. Nappy means a few things to our patron saint of cheesy karate. A nap, a diaper and Napoleon. Ask him which one he can remember.
No need for that. It’s easy. Only Democrat deficits matter. See? Easy.
Mitt sells two of his mansions
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…..67601.html
Yet he still thinks because he bought into a Ponzai scheme and didn’t get off in time that he has the expertise to lecture about GOP healthcare plans.

Chuck do you and Mitt have Any ideas that have worked in the Real World?
That picture is disturbing. Does (did) anyone anywhere find that man attractive in any way? Hairy chest and butthuggers, oversize belt buckle gleaming while guns are cocked?
They are still off budget expenses?
Since Republics believe so strongly in cuts, each of them should be required to submit a list of things they will cut that specifically affect their district or state. No more generalities.
If there actually was a liberal news media then perhaps such a question would be asked. It does not get asked because there is no such news media. The idea of a liberal news media is just a long running Republic straw man.
I knew someone would ask me that!
I jist cain’t fergit the folksy story Huck told us about fryin’ up some squirrel in his popcorn popper in the dorm durin’ his divinity days. Nevermind the fact that popcorn poppers probably weren’t invented yet, and if they were, it would have smoked the place up considerable. That Huck can tell a tale!
So I meant it only in the folkiest bibleyest breaking of bread way.
Whenever I see Chuck Norris I’m reminded of the time that Bruce Lee whooped his butt but good in the movie Return of the Dragon. Old Chuck played the bad guy in that movie and he’s evidently still on the wrong side in real life.
that is a powerful analogy for the global economy, right there.
SODOMY!
here it is, Huck explains
in his own words SLYT
Hedgefund assets may drop 35% from 2007 levels

Maybe Mitt should lie low between this news and selling 2 of his four mansions one might wonder about his supposed business expertise and his advice to the GOP on healthcare.
Timing Mitt timing you need your political people to coordinate with your financial people you can’t lead the GOP on healthcare if people question your business expertise.
Guys like Chuck the Pawns should take the field now.
Speaking of… well, enough name calling for one day…. I saw KKKarl Rove on FOX last night talking about how discretionary spending was going down under Bush but has now tripled in the stimulus bill. Anybopdy know how they define “discretionary spending”?
He got his ass kicked by a dead man??? he really sucks.
Yep, that Huck probably shared his roadkill culinary skillz with his boys, too. that’s what happened to that dog. No need to waste meat!
Yep. That’s Chuck’s boy, Huck. So downhome and so dang friendly even if they do pack some heat.
You don’t really expect Rove’s assertions to be backed up by facts, do you? He was on Fact-Free-Fox, after all.
bbl pups. I’m going to be laffing it up about tailpipe all day now.
I think he is confusing the bank bailout with the stimulus but why is a Martial Arts Movie star lecturing about the economy?
Shouldn’t he be doing another fitness infomorcial?
The Huckster should do a cookbook for all the homeless and jobless casualties of the Republic era.
OT, CBS is reporting that the Obama administration is backing Karl Rove’s right not to testify before Congress!!!
yeah, i assumed, well, i knew he was full of shit, but was just wondering whether there was some ludicrous math involved or if he completely pulled that number out his tailpipe.
The man should be a test subject for a body hair removal product.
What? Why!
Um,dosido, I don’t think we should encourage culinary prejudism.
We’ll all be squirrel poppers soon !
Oh I know how about a this is your brain on drugs commerical? I’m sure we can find enough crazy statements to back that idea.
Let him try and prove otherwise.
The type of popcorn popper Huck was talking about was a recessed hot plate style deal with a pan and lid. I’m older than Huckabee and we had one when I was a kid and I took it to college myself (though never used it for frying any squirrel or such – just to heat cans of Soup/Beef Stew/Beanie Weenie)
yeah. Like duct tape.
Depends on which party the President belongs to.
Oh. Not a JiffyRodent with the aluminum foil that gets all blown up when you cook it? And has a ton of unpopped stuff at the bottom.
We have a winner: This is your brain on drugs. Hahahaha
…on his bikini line.
It’s fascinating how often the “values” crowd uses r or x rated analogies/metaphors to argue a point.
Nope. A real pan with a lid that was made specifically for the recessed hot plate.
Values are what the values crowd say they are since they are the only ones who understand values. /s
Geez I don’t seem to know anything morning. What is a “recessed” hot plate, please?
thanks bt.
hi pups.
Then we get Chuck and Rush in a picture and say these drug addicts are the brains behind the Republican party.
That and Ponzai scheme investor who did not get out in time Mitt.
Cripes Sarah might be smarter than them all.
should be “this morning” Preview!
The hot plate coils sat on the bottom and had metal sides, that the pan sat in. Kind of like a double boiler type deal.
A puppy named Stimulus!
http://categoricalaperitif.blogspot.com/
See thats logical thinking BT but Chuck isn’t logical Maybe Chuck is on drugs?
thanks. I never saw one.
This provides a little more info.
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/….._0217.html
The Chuckinator apparently forgot to mention where the rest of that huge debt came from.
My mom liked to buy small kitchen appliances like that. The coils were on a four-legged stand, using the black whatever plastic thing around the metal sides and the pan rested in it. The pan and lid could be washed like any pots and pans. Obviously the part with the coils could not be immersed in the water.
They understand values as well as they do irony.
Are they still available? My daughter would love having one of those.
OT Sir Allen Sanford scam in TX shut down all assets under receivership.
Considering all the talk about how they went about raping detainees under our control thru sodomy with tools, apparently this bunch can dish it out, but they can’t take it!
El Rushbo better send Chuck on a new mission.
There must be a serious lack of donations.
I heard on MSNBC that the Feds have charged Sanford of fraud.
On that, I have no idea. I did a quick google to see if I could find one but didn’t go digging too deeply.
Although this appears to be similar
That is what I heard too. I wonder if they will stencil Sir Allen on his prison garb.
They are breaking apart. Isn’t it fun ! From the time I first started teaching my children about politics the first thing was that Republicans always go too far. They do it every time and can’t seem to resist. Good for the Dems.
Since Stanford has deep roots in Texas, can a Bush connection be far behind?
TY
Another one bites the dust!
Republics are always motivated by pure self interest to the exclusion of others. They try to hide that by pretending to be religious.
What chucky norris needs is a weaponized blow pipe in his mouth and another for his dick, then he can be fully weapon packed armed.
Two pistols is so old west.
But norris is still the poster for the ‘Pug agenda—-lots’a guns no butter.
OT Biden is up settin table for Obama bill signing.
Jiffyrodent. I’m sure Chuck would deny it. Let me guess: He deplores the excesses of Chinese cuisine (or french cuisine for that matter), and likes his “steak cut the way it should be cut.”
Suzanne is upstairs!
Gillibrand: Scared or Stupid?
What a wanker!
Norris looks like Dirk Digler in that photo.
Yeah, a Republican owns our local paper. He promised that he wouldn’t let politics interfere with reporting. Yeah, I know, I snickered at that one, too. I’ve written them a couple of angry letters the last several weeks saying “Haven’t you guys ever taken Econ 101?!?!?!”
Chuck Norris aka ‘Knuckle Chorus’ has the ‘brass’ to warrant an entire post, BT?
Jeebers, the bind moggles, this ‘concoction’ doesn’t even cast a shadow; talk about two-dimensional ‘hee-rows’.
Why, he and Huckabee, together, couldn’t raise a lump in the throat of a tennis racket if they were given a bucket of epoxy and arrows painted on the ground.
If this is the ‘best’ of the ‘weapons’ in the Arse-in-all of the Sacred Rite, then we, definitely, are going to have to depend entirely on Obama to vex us.
;~D
Chuck Norris kickin’ the deficits ass while Hank Williams Jr. warbles about how wicked them ‘ol democrats are as Joe the plumber/journalist holds court on financial responsibility…Thats entertainment!!–(you can believe in)
