How @#$%ing Stupid Are We?

46. Senator Warren on Obama's plans to slash Social Security: "who will be left to starve"

"This is about our values," the senator said, "and our values tell us that we don't build a future by first deciding who among our most vulnerable will be left to starve."

Idunno... Talking about starving the elderly might seem pretty low-key to you, but to some of us...

How about:

"Look around. Oil companies guzzle down the billions in profits. Billionaires pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries, and Wall Street CEOs, the same ones that direct our economy and destroyed millions of jobs still strut around Congress, no shame, demanding favors, and acting like we should thank them. Does anyone here have a problem with that?"

Or accusing Eric Holder of staggering dereliction of duty:

"If you’re caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances are good you’re going to jail….Evidently, if you launder nearly a billion dollars for drug cartels and violate our international sanctions, your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night."

Sounds pretty laid back
