Right-wingers cry "commieism!" and "fascism!" over pay cap

Gotta hand it to my state for "electing" what may be the 2 worst senators north of 36° 30'.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) cried that the Obama administration's pay cap for execs of bailed-out banks is too much government interference with business. "I really don't want the government to take over these businesses and start telling them everything about what they can do," the hapless elbow care martinet said. "Then you truly have nationalized the business."

Eek! Government interference! Commieism!

If setting a pay cap for these banks is interfering with business, then what do they think the bailout is? If the government gives a bank money, why shouldn't it at least have some power to tell the bank what it needs to do?

It gets loopier. Some conservative blogger called the pay caps "fascism at our doorsteps."

Meanwhile, some right-wing fuckchop has been spamming blogs by posting a comment reading:

"While it should go without saying that even a legitimate President's 'ordered' $500,000 pay cap is an unenforceable intrusion into the private sector, as if that weren't enough, Obama LACKS EVEN OSTENSIBLE AUTHORITY to issue the order UNTIL HE OVERCOMES 'RES IPSA LOQUITUR' BY SUPPLYING HIS LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PROVING HIS ELIGIBILITY TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE US CONSTITUTION."

In other words, apologists for a bailout with no strings attached have nothing to fall back on except the birth certificate rumor that was debunked before anyone even thought Obama had a chance at getting elected.

A reader of this blog responded to the sorryass who posted that more effectively than I ever could:

"Blah blah blah Ted you sore loser.

"Hey STUPID!!!! If a pay cap is an 'unenforceable intrusion into the private sector'...THEN WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THE BAILOUT IS?

"Fucking hypocrite."

Conservatives think it's just fine and dandy that banks want money money money from the government - but no regulation.

Imagine what conservatives' reaction would be if some poor, unemployed mother somewhere collected welfare but demanded the repeal of rules that require her to look for a job. You'd never hear the end of it. Yet banks get corporate welfare and don't expect to have to follow any rules.

As for ol' Mitch McConnell, he gets loopier too. That's his job, I guess. Now Mitch the Glitch also wants to remove "buy American" clauses from the stimulus bill.

y do u hate america mitch lololololol
