I come back from a vacation in the Dominican Republic and I’m trying to find a way to ease myself back into writing about the every day fuckery and I come across this political ad from Ben Quayle…son of former Vice President Dan Quayle. I think this piece of shit fits the “Just enough Fuckery” threshold.
When George H. Bush was in office there was this joke that about how “Behind every Bush there’s a Quayle”. And look how true that is. 8 years of George H Bush’s son completely running this country into the ground and now Dan Quayle’s son is back to rewrite history and pretend everything is President Obama’s fault.
As was said on Morning Joe, the first problem with this video (besides the content) is that Ben Quayle looks like he’s making a hostage video. Like someone is hold a gun to his head and he should be holding today’s newspaper as proof of life. It seems that Ben Quayle has a personality deficiency that rivals John Kerry. And then there’s the content. So why is Barack Obama the worst president in history? Oh well let’s look at Quayle’s points:
1. “My generation will inherit a weakened country” – A massive recession due to Wall Street treating the economy like their giant credit card and two unpaid wars will do that to a country. Oh did I mention…all that happened under the last President, George W. Bush.
2. “Drug Cartels in Mexico” – Ummm, yeah…President Obama got elected and that’s when some Mexican Drug Lord was like “Hey, let’s start crossing the US border and selling drugs to the people over there.” Yeah…uhh, no. Mexican Drug cartels have been a problem for a while. What Quayle really meant this as was a backhanded attempted at pointing out the Obama Administration’s “lack of action” when it comes to illegals. Okay, forget that the Obama Administration has deported more illegals than any other administration. Let’s remember this isn’t even 2 years into Obama’s first term. So far, whether you like what he’s done or not, he’s addressed or started to address most of the major issues he said he would. You know who had 8 years to address illegal immigration and didn’t? George W. Bush.
3. “Tax cartels in DC” – What the fuck is a tax cartel? Oh he means the fact that the President and Democrats in Congress don’t want to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich and that somehow having the tax levels go back to what they used to be is a “massive tax increase.” Right, this coming from the son of the Vice President of an Administration that promised “No New Taxes” and then…added more taxes. “We have a credibility leak on aisle 6…credibility leak on aisle 6″
Ben Quayle asks “What happened to America?” Well Ben, its simple really. The American people trusted Republicans for decades and Republicans ran the country into the ground. To be fair, Democrats were willing accomplices but the most egregious incidents came from Republicans. Just in recent memory we have 2 unpaid for wars followed by tax cuts for the rich. Yeah that’ll do some damage.
Quayle says he was raised “Right” and is going to Washington to clean things up. Well I say we do a little test first. First motherfucker, spell “potato” and then we’ll talk about how well you were raised.
This gets 6 Picard FacePalms but I reserve the right to increase that if this moron actually wins the primary.
