Some [political] animals are more equal than others

Dick Armey and buddy-with-gun walk into FreedomWorks offices in Sept. and attempt to take over the operation. According to this article, it's just another example of how our nation's political class feels they are above the law and, given there's rarely any consequences for their actions, the system allows them to get away with it.

In a political season where Santa is arrested for the 'crime' of 'chalking' on a public sidewalk the sentiments--'peace' and 'love,' (and for possibly being loosely affiliated with Occupy activists)—Dick Armey is not only flagrantly allowed to bark orders and threats (armed guard attached by the umbilical)—political apologists surge through the MSM all but wetting their panties for the opportunity to defend 'poor little Dickie.

Interesting that 'Mother Jones' has joined the ranks of the MSM in the writer's eyes.

And the implosion continues. Epitome off a hostile work environiment.


"Former House majority leader Dick Armey says he took an $8 million consulting deal in return for leaving the conservative organization FreedomWorks because the group was "dishonest" and because he "couldn't leave with empty pockets."

"The Washington Post this week detailed what it called a coup Armey tried to pull off at FreedomWorks in September with the help of gun carrying aide after his relationship with FreedomWorks' president, Matt Kibbe, became hostile"

A guy who retires from congressional job with a great pension and health insurance and he can't retire at 72? If he can't budget his own home, why would we expect him to be able to help budget the government? Dick Armey's greed has got him in a bind and he will do anything for money.

I know this isn't funny, but somehow the whole thing cracks me up. I really wish I could figure out how to get paid $8Mil just to go away. Hell, I know how to go away!!!
