Rep. Gary Ackerman: Tax Cut Deal Is GOP's 'Wet Dream Act'

Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.) used a crude play on words Wednesday, when he described what he saw as Obama's gift to the GOP in the recent tax cut deal as the "Republican Wet Dream Act" -- apparently no relation to the actual Dream Act.

"Members of the Democratic caucus are saying 'why should we take this vote, we're gonna get blamed for adding to the deficit,'" Ackerman told MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan in his analysis of the potential political consequences of passing Obama's tax plan. "This isn't the Dream Act, this is the Republican Wet Dream Act. They get the Democrats to add to the deficit, they get all the benefits for their wealthiest friends in America to pay them off for their huge contributions that they made during the campaign and got an exemption from the U.S. Supreme Court. The whole thing is an absolute absurdity."

3. I'm quite sure

some horrified and sanctimonious puke will demand an apology from Mr Ackerman for being so crude and morally degenerate as to even suggest such things exist, and I'm also quite sure that he will eventually knuckle under to them and grovel and beg for forgiveness. He will say he just didn't know what came over him (snicker snicker) and will slink off in utter mortification.


I won't.

5. I think I said it even earlier

Can't prove it, though, due to the 48-hour limit on keeping messages.
