Waiting for Boner. Tea Parties Take on the Three Stooges Over Failure to Aggressively Investigate the Gunwalker Scandal.

Waiting for Boner.

Vladimir: "So, when is it coming?"

Estragon: "When is what coming?"

Vladimir: "I dunno, the OIG report, Holder's impeachment, the next Issa hearing, all of the above. When is somebody going to get off their ass about Gunwalker?"

Estragon: "So, you haven't heard?"

Vladimir: "Heard what?"

Estragon: "It's all in the hands of the Three Stooges."

Vladimir: "The Three Stooges? You mean Larry, Moe and Curly?"

Estragon: "No, dummy, Boner, Can't-or and Charlie McCarthy."

Vladimire: "Charlie McCarthy? I thought he was a ventriloquist's dummy."

Estragon: "He is, only this time he's also a congressman from California."

Vladimir: "I don't get it. You're saying that the GOP leadership doesn't want to get to the bottom of the Gunwalker Conspiracy?"

Estragon: "That's exactly what I'm saying. You don't read much Sipsey Street, do you?"

Vladimir: "But why?"

Estragon: "Blowjobs, probably."

Vladimir: "Blowjobs?"

Estragon: "Yeah either blowjobs they want or blowjobs they gave that somebody found out about."

Vladimir: "You mean the fate of the country is hanging on a blowjob?"

Estragon: "You got it."

Remember when I said that my sources told me that John Boehner and the GOP leadership had put the brakes on Issa's investigation of the Gunwalker Plot?

Well, as time goes by with absolutely no forward movement, the people who called me names and doubted my sources are looking less credible and my sources are looking more credible. Just this morning I spoke with two folks close to the investigation who once again confirmed that it looked like some sort fix was in.

And we're not the only ones: Tea Party groups pressure House GOP leaders to rev up Fast and Furious probe.

Local Tea Party activists are pressing House Republican leaders to pursue their investigation into the Operation Fast and Furious gun-tracking effort more aggressively.

The top three House Republicans have been slow to lead the charge of the GOP’s criticism of the botched operation.

As a result, local Tea Party groups in the home districts of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) are turning up the heat on the lawmakers.

The groups say their representatives maintain the most powerful positions in the lower chamber and should be more critical of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.

This is a great idea. Keep up the pressure, guys.

LATER: Media Matters reacts.

Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy investigate the Gunwalker Scandal.

Bucky Godot said...: Boehner is such an obvious, cheap whore; he is owned, body and soul, by the dems. He should follow the example of another famous betrayer, Judas Iscariot, and take a length of rope into the woods.
BTW - I thought Mike was going to be in the horse pistol today>??? Hopeing for the best!!; March 12, 2012 at 3:52 PM
TPaine said...: Well, it looks like this investigation is all but over, and didn't we all see this coming? Mike, you busted your hump, you and David, and all of the work you did is being flushed down the drain by our own side. Which goes to show that none of these sons of bitches can be trusted. None of them. The Tea Party did a very good wash in 2010, and all for naught. I guess now it's time to do what we should have done a long time ago. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.; March 12, 2012 at 4:23 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
