I <3 Elizabeth Warren

[Stephanie]

Just what we need, ANOTHER shrill nutty Democrat in Congress.

my gawd, you people will vote for Anything or Anyone if it has a D next to it's name..

Of course we know that, you all put a Inexperienced Mean Ugly Community Organizer in as President. How is that one working out for you?

So, let’s recap: Liz Warren is at best exceptionally sloppy about both her personal finances, and the finances of the government agency that she oversaw. Getting information about either was and is as difficult as a broken wisdom tooth extraction – and in the case of Warren’s personal income, the real problem was getting accurate information. Because apparently Liz Warren doesn’t know how much she earns every year. Or she knows, but lies about it. Either way, she is used to making a ridiculous amount of money every year for doing… nothing really productive. Which explains her frankly puerile if somewhat passive-aggressive embracing of class warfare rhetoric: in Liz Warren’s world, the way she became rich* is the way that surely everybody becomes rich. And surely Warren knows, deep down, that she didn’t do anything to actually earn all that sweet, sweet cash.


Liz Warren: pig-ignorant about her own salary? | RedState

Sloppy? Hardly. BTW, do you always quote sadist bloggers?

About

This is a site that I’ve put together as sort of the intersection of my two current obsessions: politics, and weird hobbies. Although you could very easily make the argument that politics is a weird hobby. Heck, I would.

If you’re wandering in here from the political end: hi, yes, I’m a geek. Never pretended otherwise, never will.

If you’re wandering in here from the weird hobby end: hi, yes, I’m a Republican. Never pretended otherwise, never will.

Either way, enjoy. Or face the wrath of my lobster minions.

Also, because we’ve had a couple of people try already: real emails only, please. And by “please” I mean “or I’ll just mark your comment as spam and go on with my life, singing tra-la-la.”

Yes, English can be a very compact language.

[UPDATE, 09/01/2009]: People have asked me, “What is my policy on acceptable comments?” It’s fairly simple: an acceptable comment is whatever I say that it is, and if I ever decide that I need advice on determining acceptability I’ll be sure to ask someone. I am capricious as a matter of policy, a bit of a sadist, and I play favorites. What else? Oh, yes: you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

That being said, I care a whole hell of a lot less about non-political comments than I do political ones.

you mean only one person has won the Sacks-Freund Teaching Award in the history of harvard law?

wow

you'd think in almost 200 years someone else would have repeated.

true, like being editor of law review, it's awarded on popularity rather than merit, but still... color me impressed

I didn't know Emus were that popular. If popularity were needed, wouldn't an eagle have been a better choice? Yidnar's the exception to the rule of course.

thank you- omission on my part

a person of moderate intellect would have gotten that she won twice from the context, don't you think?

 

[Kuros]

Either way, she is used to making a ridiculous amount of money every year for doing… nothing really productive.

So tracking TARP money is unproductive. We should just let the Obama administration spend the money Congress appropriated however it wants?

This is how Elizabeth Warren doesn't get rich on her own...she does it on the taxpayer's big-ol-pile-o-dimes:

The campaign for Democratic Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren said Friday she had been paid $192,722 for serving as chairman of a congressional committee that monitored the 2008 federal bank bailout, three times as much as had originally been acknowledged.

The Warren campaign revised the figure following a POLITICO report on Thursday, highlighting the fact that the Congressional Oversight Panel, which oversaw the TARP program, has not publicly disclosed exactly how it spent $10.5 million on salaries, travel, consultants and other expenses. Warren said she now supports public access to the oversight panel’s records, though her campaign wouldn’t say if she plans to actively push to open up the records....

Thanks for posting this.....

Like i said, this Maxist blowhard gets to have her bureaucrat job with her over inflated salary because of the tax dollars paid by these business owners......

She had moment of inspiration widely supported by progressives.

Is she maybe saying that her salary is coming from poor voters?

Or maybe that rich did not pay for those roads at all?

Well, of course the rich are the ones not paying their "fair share".....

I got whole topic dedicated to "fair share" rhetoric. How much is a fair share?

Back to this thread, Warren is a nut job and whoever agree to what she said is a nut job as well.

 

[driveby]

Fuck it, Warren is right, how dare these rich people build their wealth using the roads and police security that welfare recipients paid for.......

I was at the fair today. $4 deep fried kool-aid. Poor people got money, I saw them buy that crap.
