The ass being the former Sen. Alan Simpson, co-chair of the presidential deficit reduction commission. Despite the furor when the quote became public, the man with a hefty public pension from his days in the service will remain on the commission.
If nothing else shows the administration’s contempt for the victims of the economic crisis, the retention of a man like Simpson should stand as an example of what “bipartisanship” means these days. It’s simply a matter of the haves and the have-mores, folks who will never have to do another day’s work in their lives, thanks to the very large public tits they’ve been given to suck on.
And, yeah, Simpson offered an “apology.” Think Homer’s dumber older cousin really means it?
If you have some better suggestions about how to stabilize Social Security instead of just babbling into the vapors, let me know. And yes, I’ve made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know ‘em too. It’s the same with any system in America. We’ve reached a point now where it’s like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work!”
