Smacking down the Senate's biggest horse's ass

Meet the Senate's biggest horse's ass (well, except Saxby Clueless). It's Sen. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina).

Look at that ugly sneer. Just look!

A few weeks ago, DumbMint really thunk he had us like a big pie in the face when he said, "I can see why liberals don't mind if the tax rate goes up because they're not going to pay it anyway." This was a reference to Tom Daschle's tax woes.

Ha ha, Jim, you're a really funny guy!

But wait! Now what's this?!

Now (as I told you on Thursday) several Republican members of Congress have been caught evading taxes by using the homestead exemption for their D.C. digs - a big no-no. Yes, folks, that's an Allowed Cloud.

One of them - Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) - is known to be an ardent backer of a 30% national sales tax. And possibly the others are too. Steve King was the most arrogant of the congressmen caught in this tax evasion scandal.

Well, you know what I have to say about that? Just change one word in DeMint's statement, so it reads: I can see why conservatives don't mind if the tax rate goes up because they're not going to pay it anyway.

As we said in the '70s: Burn!

It's true. This scandal shows that conservatives don't pay their taxes, so they don't give a shit what the tax rate is.
