DuhNooz! In the headliner today:
The Obama administration has adopted a tougher tone with China in recent weeks. Duhh! how many times have we heared at in recent years? Ain’tat kinda like gittin tough with y’banker? Y’talk about it, fluster about it, but since he might stop lendin, you stop before he stops.
The House ethics committee charged Rep. Charles B. Rangel with 13 separate violations of House rules Thursday, saying his various financial dealings broke the “public trust.” Broken? Duhh! Anybody remember when it wuz all in one piece?
New York is “the Big Apple” and Chicago “the Windy City,” but unless the earnest and obvious “Nation’s Capital” is your idea of a cool handle, Washington and its environs have never gotten very far in the civic nickname game. Now jist who made mud outta the name Washinton? Could it be the politicians who sling s’much uv it? Duhh!
Hundreds of opponents of Arizona’s new immigration law swarmed the streets of downtown Phoenix Thursday, confronting police in riot gear as the state’s governor filed an urgent appeal of a judge’s ruling that prevented key portions of the law from taking effect. Ain’tat the way it’s done? Have a demonstration? Carry some signs and git the TV cameras ou’tair? Less all git a cause up. Don’t matter whut it is. The marchin an gittin on TV is whut counts.
Republicans continue Senate filibuster of small-business bill. An right after tryin’ t’kill added unemployment benefits. Duhh. First it wuz foot in mouth disease, now the Repubs have graduated to shoot in foot disease. Ain’tat whut ye call snatchin defeat out uv the claws uv victry jist in time t’lose the elections?
A record heat wave in Russia is felt in such ways as smoky peat fires around Moscow and dying trout at a fish farm. Whur are you, Al Gore? Ain’tat a sign uv yore Global Warmin’ thang? Are ye too busy with yore new life uv freedom frum Tipper?
An Finely: There may be no tar balls in Boise, but it figures large in the suits against BP as lawyers meet there to decide where the cases should be heard. Mannn. Lawyers salifatin’ over BP? Y’couldn git’tat many buzzards circlin a heard a’dead elephants. Duhh.
