I just couldn’t pass up this bit of puerile nonsense from Nazi-baiting<\/a>, commie-phobic<\/a>, congressman Allen West:<\/p>\n

West via Facebook<\/a>: “On Saturday night I was honored to be invited to the White House Correspondents Association dinner. There was much glam, glamour, and humor flowing. However, as I walked from the Washington Hilton in the rain to catch the METRO back to the Batcave, I pondered life outside that ballroom and the pomp. While the President laughs and dines, our Constitutional Republic is eroding and my countrymen are suffering. In this election year, it is sad to think that some of those who were sitting in that ballroom Saturday night laughing and living it up, are helping to perpetuate the manipulation and deception of our country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? Gee, I couldn’t help but notice that Mr. West himself was “living it up”<\/em> at the affair that he was “honored”<\/em> to have been invited to. He was the guest of CBS (presumably because Fox News had already promised their tickets to more important guests, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian). And after dining on the gourmet cuisine and enjoying the celebrity-studded entertainment, West expects us believe that he ambled home with deep sorrow for all the little people he pretends to care so much about.<\/p>\n

West knew precisely what the event was when he donned his tuxedo and headed off to walk the red carpet into the Washington Hilton with the rest of the elites. He knew it was a party where there would be drinking and dining and laughter, and the sort of wanton joyfulness that his Puritan renunciation forbids, at least until the Bush recession is over. It is the pinnacle of arrogance to feign empathy only after spending hours rubbing elbows with the “A” listers at the party. Who does he think he is kidding?<\/p>\n

Maybe the evening went south for West when Jimmy Kimmel reminded the crowd of the time that Obama called Kanye West a jackass. “No offense sir,”<\/em> Kimmel said, “but I think you got the wrong West. I think you meant Allen.”<\/em> I’m inclined to agree with Kimmel.<\/p>\n

West continues to betray his cynical and dishonest nature every time he opens his mouth. And Republican leaders like Romney and Boehner are still too chickenshit to repudiate his inane public statements accusing Democrats of being Nazis and communists. So don’t forget to help out Patrick Murphy’s campaign<\/a> against West in Florida’s 18th district. It’s time for the people to send West packing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
