There Are Times When I Think Allen West Thinks Entirely Too Much of Allen West

This was one of them. (Although, as usual, there wasn’t a thing to disagree with in the sentiments expressed. Just the manner and place.)

The SMART money from the Democratic side would have been to let the professional rudeness slide. Sit in dignified, hurt silence. “Hey, what goes on outside these walls, blahblahblah, but in here we’re colleagues, blahblahblah…” They’d be golden.

But damned if they aren’t the gift that keeps on giving.

California Democrat Compares West to Florida Pastor Who Burned Koran

..California Democrat Compares West to Florida Pastor Who Burned Koran
by Chad Pergram | July 21, 2011

In a statement about an inflammatory email Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., sent to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. earlier this week, Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., likens West to Pastor Terry Jones who last year, threatened to burn a stack of Korans at his Florida church. Jones later burned one of the Muslim holy books in a less public display in March.

“Public opinion of policymakers is already quite low, why in the world would Rep West want to undermine it further by stooping to such undiplomatic demagoguery?” Honda’s statement reads. “Not unlike the pastor in Florida who burned the Koran, knowing all too well the forthcoming media frenzy, this action by West is hardly different.“

Public opinion, of course, having nothing to do with anything that ever came out of Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s gaping, vacuous, malevolent maw.

    Could Wasserman Schultz pass a Wassermann test?

    Democrat congressman must have a special reverse knee joint in their legs that allows them to easily insert there feet into their mouths.

    Neros fiddle while Rome burns. Some days I feel almost as if I’m a French peasant of the 1780s watching the ruling class cackle and talk about “let them eat cake.”

    Democrats: if you give them enough rope, eventually they’ll shoot somebody.

    You’re right, and you’re right. The more they sputter the better they make him look.
