Congress / Hicks From the Sticks / Kotz / Legislature / Media / Politics Fred Thompson Leads This Week's Kook Power Rankings
Posted by Pete Kotz on Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 5:43 AM
1. Fred Thompson: It's the latest rage in right-wing conspiracies. A federal measure designed to help elderly people write living wills is being recast as a government drive to kill old people! And Thompson, who surely knows better, is among those pushing the theory! Now he's probably just grabbing for ratings in the ever-crowded Victim Radio genre. But how's he supposed to be a believable New York DA if he's talking like some guy who lives under the bridge?
2. Rep. Debra Maggart: Following the Paul Stanley Pervert Scandal, the Hendersonville Republican decided to curb illicit behavior on Capitol Hill, which often resembles a gay bath house on Breeder Night. But instead of saying to her colleagues, "Hey, what's with the perv action, you lecherous old degenerates?" she wants to create a stricter screening process for interns. After all, we can't expect those horny evangelicals to resist temptation, can we? The responsibility clearer lies with all those little school girls.
3. Robin Smith: The former GOP state chair turned attempted congresswoman has been in populist mode of late, railing against "the big companies getting bailouts." But Smith, a master of idle sloganeering on par with Sarah Palin, has been conspicuously silent on the insurance industry bailout in the health care negotiations, where nearly everyone in Tennessee's congressional delegation -- Republican and Democrat alike -- is siding with insurers over their constituents. In related news, Smith also roots for the house in blackjack.
4. Paul Stanley: Add "Huge Candy-Ass" to his previous titles of Wife Beater, Adulterer, and Hypocrite. Because when Paul Stanley goes down, he's not going with class. That's why he's been doing his best to paint his former mistress, McKensie Morrison, as an evil blackmailer. Though the TBI says she's not under investigation, in Stanley's world, the women and children are always sacrificed first.

Fred Thompson's a kook? Because he thinks state-run universal-payer healthcare run by liberals would encourage euthanasia?
It's already happening - in Oregon, home of the Left's favorite healthcare system:
The state tells a woman it won't pay for her chemo, but will pay for her assisted suicide.

That's what's coming to the whole nation if government takes over health care.

Amen, Bill Hobbs. This is actually going to be the topic of our next conspiracy convention in Lubbock. Ever wonder why there aren't many people living to be 100 anymore when people routinely lived to be 900 in Old Testament times?!!!!!!It's because the government has been conspiring to kill old people since the New Deal!!!!!And Brother Hobbs is correct about Oregon. Did you know that there isn't a person in Oregon older than 76? Look it up. The government rounds people that are older than that up and euthanizes them. That's what Obama wants to do to the rest of our great nation. That's what you get when you elect a person born in Kenya as your president!!!!!!!
The winners of the real kook rankings each and every week are, of course, the Scene's own staff.
A belief in anything that even remotely resembles liberalism in any way is always automatic, absolute defacto proof of severe mental illness.
Conspiracy Buff, as always you have illuminated the pure truth. Oregon has been killing old people for years because they don't look good in Birkenstocks. What people don't know is that the health care bill also contains a clause that says all of our college football teams have to wear really ugly uniforms, just like Oregon's.
Make sure you bring your long-arms to Lubbock. You're going to need them.
"What people don't know is that the health care bill also contains a clause that says all of our college football teams have to wear really ugly uniforms, just like Oregon's."
Pete Kotz, now you're just talking crazy. You'd have to be a real loon to believe that.
But Fred Thompson is bff with John McCain and he knows the truth that the New World Order, which obviously controls the U.S. government, knew Obama was not eligible before he became president but that having to euthanize McCain several years into his presidency was not ideal from a public relations standpoint and they decided to take their chances with the commie Kenyan.
We have all ready made the decision about
* the 700 babies who die each year, at a much higher rate when their mothers don't have access to health care,
* the uninsured cancer patients who don't know they are ill until its too late because they can't afford to see the doctor
* the people whose health insurance coverage runs out before their illness does, etc.
As usual, all of the winners in this power ranking are Republican. Predictably partisan as usual. (Yawn.)
It seems the only entity that can catch Tennessee Democrats in the act of being "kooks" is the FBI. Clearly, the reporters in this state are asleep at the wheel or - in the case of Jeff Woods and the Scene - overt homers for the Democrats.
At least Liz Garrigan PRETENDED not to like either side of the political aisle. You guys have dropped the pretense altogether. I'm not sure which is more commendable - setting aside personal preferences and occasionally giving both sides the raw banana because you are supposed to or just admitting you are in the bag for one party.
