Phil Gingrey (GA-11)
You’ll remember Dr. Gingrey was the Republican Representative from Georgia that offered some mild criticism of Rush Limbaugh, saying that he wasn’t in leadership and that Boehner and Cantor and the party leaders were doing a fine job; Rush should pipe down.
The very next day, Dr. Gingrey called in to Rush’s afternoon show and prostrated himself before the impotent and drug addicted entertainer and groveled, begging forgiveness.
That made him a special target of mine.
Every time I saw the Congressman on the Hill, I’d ask him if there was anything he wouldn’t do for Rush. Would he wash Rush’s car? Would he write Rush an Oxycontin prescription? How about Viagra for Rush’s next sexual tourism trip to the Dominican Republic?
I’m kind of proud of myself for stopping short of asking the Congressman if he’d felch Limbaugh on demand…
Anyway, every time I ran into the Congressman, something like this would happen:
Until early last week…
On that day, I caught the Congressman without his jacket. And without his phone:
I’m glad he could join me in laughing about this. No, not the Nazi stuff, but his artful dodge. As far as that goes, I’m actually coming to enjoy the company of several Republicans. Sure, they are dishonest and morally-challenged miscreants, but I’m pretty sure it’d be fun to share a beer and a hooker with them… That is, if I could convince them to share their beer…
Every time I see one of these GA republicans, my gag reflex kicks in. My congressman is Jim Marshall. He runs as a democrat, but talks and votes like a republican. Senators Isakson and Chambliss, along with most representatives and senators Georgians send to D.C., are elected only because they say they are pro-life, Christian, pro-gun, pro-small government, or are fiscal conservatives. This is all they have to say to get elected. It doesn’t matter that they do very little to help the people on a national or state level, just that they make the voters feel that they fit all of the aforementioned “characteristics.” Many of us in GA have been trying to get them to see that these politicians actually work against their interests. It’s a difficult job because they believe the lies of these politicians and the Fuchs Noose Network over anything else. Their lack of knowledge of what is really going on in the country is appalling.
