This guy, Thaddeus Otter, is a Republican from Michigan.
And I recommend that you start watching 18 seconds in (or reading the transcript provided by Silence is Complicity here) and stop... well... when the "where-have-I-heard-this-before" causes your thyroid to explode and your angry fingers to start pounding on the keyboard.
Thaddeus? May, I call you Thaddeus?
Great speech.
Totally, shockingly, absolutely agree.
WHO are these people in "the administration," huh?
I'd give you a gold fucking star EXCEPT you forgot two little words.
"I apologize."
"I apologize to the American people that for the last eight years the very tactics I deride were used to lie you into a war that killed your sons and daughters and bankrupted your treasury."
"I apologize to the American people that since day one of the George W. Bush administration questioning our opponent's love of country has been go-to card of liars and cheats and the morally bankrupt."
"I apologize to the American people that the patriotism-questioning accusations that now, finally, have forced me to rush, sweaty and indignant, to this microphone has been the sole campaign tactic of my party."
"I apologize to the American people for the President... who I probably should admit is a Republican... and whom I used as a fundraising tool to get elected and whom I've voted with at preposterous levels and whom, though I have always secretly hated, knowing he was a incurious, self-hating, daddy-obsessed, 'taint-of-man, I was willing to prop up until the very moment when he started to threaten my own hold on power."
"I apologize that my greatest wish (those of you with weak stomachs should stop reading now) is that I were able to cum money and shit gold, which is why I'm only NOW so angry about the unrepentant hate and bile spewed by the man sitting behind the once-hallowed desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
And I apologize because by making THIS SPEECH, without acknowledging all the above, I have proven myself to be utterly and completely soulless.
Oh and, to steal from the glorious and hysterical Sarah Silverman... I apologize for being a douche-nozzle.
