Alan Simpson Invokes 'Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg' In Scolding Fears Of Cuts To Social Security

Alan Simpson, co-chairman of President Barack Obama's debt commission, furthered his penchant for colorful commentary Monday when he unleashed a rambling diatribe targeting what he characterized as a generation of disrespectful youth and their confused grandparents.

"This is a fakery," the former Wyoming senator said on Fox News, referring to retirement-age Americans expressing fears about having Social Security funds slashed. "If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that -- I think, you know, grandchildren now don't write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they're walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don't like them!"

Simpson has been a proponent of considering reforms to entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in the effort to reduce the deficit, suggestions that so far appear to have been ignored in the Obama administration's budget proposals.

In February, Simpson exhibited his flair for the dramatic when he called the White House's spending cut effort a "sparrow belch in the midst of the typhoon." The deficit, he later said, was "a stink bomb in the garden party and it’s never going to go away.”

1. He Is Not Only Vicious And Stupid, Sir, But Clearly In the Grip Of Senile Dementia

[Vincardog]

2. Alan Simpson can BITE my wrinkly A$$

[Kurovski]

3. WTF?

Simpson is irrelevant. Why drag his raggedy ass out for his opinion on anything. It's pointless.

[phantom power]

4. I do not take seriously any proposal that doesn't involve ending our Endless Wars

Anybody who goes after social services but won't cut spending on war and defence is unserious.

[Kurovski]

9. +1

[Starry Messenger]

5. WTF

This sounds like Charlton Heston's bizarre diatribe at the end of Bowling for Columbine.

[Generic Other]

17. He starts out defending the grandchildren's future and forgets halfway through

and ends up railing against the youth if today. So yes, very like Charlton Heston. I can't stop snickering.

[LiberalEsto]

6. Enema man? Poop dog?

This guy's mind is in the toilet in more ways than one.

[LeftofObama]

7. I'm waiting for him to look out over an audience and loudly proclaim...

"YOU KIDS GET OUT OF MY YARD!"

[Matariki]

8. Oh, that's just adorable.

the "enema man" and "Snoopy Poop Dogg". That's really cute.

He needs his own 'crotchety old guy' radio spot. Preferably far, far away from the Senate.

[Mybrokenchains]

10. oh this guys mind is long gone....

and in the pic he looks like and ancient Robert Deniro......

[earthboundmisfit]

11. Hmmm

[Generic Other]

14. No no no...he's a Simpson not a Burns...

[earthboundmisfit]

20. True!

:rofl:

[walldude]

12. Crotchety old fuck...

Your time is over, get out of the way. You've done enough damage for one lifetime.

[WinkyDink]

13. No agenda there, son.

[gratuitous]

15. Thanks a fucking heap, Alan Simpson's grandchildren

If you little pischers had learned to write some goddam thank-you notes, we could have Social Security. Instead, you selfish little bastards, we get penury in our old age. Oh, and you sparrows? Quit all your belching; it bothers Mr. Simpson.

[Generic Other]

16. Oh dear me that hit my funnybone in a silly way!

"If you little pischers had learned to write some goddam thank-you notes, we could have Social Security..."

Everyone should email that to their grandchildren!!!

:rofl:

[PurityOfEssence]

18. Shades of Ernest Hollings and "Beaver an' Buffcoat or Buffcoat and Beavah"

Simpson was trying to be funny. "Enemaman", although a sneering bit of tight-assed (pun intended) dismissal of youth as uncivilized--a truly ancient take, as old as civilization itself--IS a bit funny.

He's an asshole of the worst order, though, lest we forget.

(Hollings' reference was an addle-headed reference to Beavis and Butthead.)

19. This guy can tell McCain to get off his lawn

[TlalocW]

21. You know Snoop's friends are going to totally be calling him this now

It makes me laugh inside.

22. What the fuck is he talking about? Okay, timeout.

Obama...please stop putting these idiots in charge of things they know nothing about, and will further down the line embarrass you. Why not try a dirty hippie, for once? Sure they stink, but they won't go on Foxnews (they don't let dirty people appear on that news outlet).

Thanks.

[Ramulux]

23. Does anyone else see the obvious racism here?

"Those damn kids and their hip hop music and baggy clothes!" Please, we all know what he is actually saying here.

[JDPriestly]

24. Alzheimers? The portions of the brain that control the use of

disgusting language go last.

Dementia of some sort seems to be setting in. He will be an embarrassment to Republicans before he is through. The Republican Party needs to get a hook with a very long handle before he completely alienates their elderly constituency.
