Gambler wants to convince others to put SS in the stock market.

:wtf:

[zann725]

1. We are in trouble now! What an elitest sociopath!

n/t

[SHRED]

2. Not only is he a gambler

He is a goddamn cigarette smoking, alcoholic, hypocrite.

That fat pig can kiss my ass.

:nuke:

[swag]

3. Wow, that's appropriate.

Not only a gambler, but a massive loser.

[LiviaOlivia]

4. Oh the irony!

Really, who the fuck are they kidding? Sick bastards.

And fuck Bush.

[Mandate My Ass]

5. Old Billy Boy is gonna be feedin' those slots again real soon

He's just perfect for this job being that he threw shitloads of money down an empty hole and yet went on to prosper.

[flordehinojos]

6. oh, my God. They (BUSH & CO.) couldn't have put up a more PUKE ALERT GUY

even if they had INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO ... Maybe the tables are beginning to turn against Bush and Bill Bennett as his Social Security Reform Czar is a good omen for the rest of AMERICA ... WHO IN THESE AMERICAS TODAY WOULD LISTEN TO ANYTHING BILL BENNETT HAS TO SAY??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Armstead]

21. He's also a talk show host

If he doesn't quit that gig to do this, that could raise interesting conflict of interest questions

[Mist]

7. A gambling addict to sell us on *'s Soc.Sec. "plan" (snicker) n/t

[Erika]

8. Bill Bennett blows 8 mil in casinos

and thinks anyone will listen to him? I can hardly wait until his first lecture to mimimum wage workers.

[Cha]

9. Why, don't they like AARP's message to its

members?

"THE SOLUTION SHOULDN'T BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM-NO PRIVATE ACCOUNTS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY DOLLARS!"

bush spokepeople remind me of the old west outlaws ..when only the dirtiest, lowdown varmints could join the gang that marauded through towns.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

A scumbag hypocrite hired to lie about SS. Appropriate.

n/t

[oasis]

10. Don't worry, Bill's got his rabbit's foot working on senior's investments.

[Booster]

11. I swear this entire administration acts like they know they should

all be in jail and are doing everything they can think of to get themselves in hot water. I cannot believe that real conservative Republicans can accept this as a great idea. Come on, people, get you heads out of your collective asses and help us put an end to this nightmare. I'm on SS now, so, supposedly, this doesn't affect me, but I do feel sorry for the baby boomers right behind me. This is the worst appointment yet by the baby chimp; it's as if he's saying to himself, "what can I do next to piss off EVERYBODY?' Of course, the media will say this was an excellent choice because old Bill sure knows how to gamble.

[Erika]

12. Leave no child a dime

is what the administration represents. If Bennett had a dime, he'd bet it in Vegas or Atlantic City. This man should be booed everytime he appears on stage.

[flyarm]

13. stop you are killing me..lol...a gambler with my s.s. money??

you have to be kidding!!! he gambles millions away and gets caught lying about it ..and if anyone thinks they are giving him the key to the unlocked lock box with my s.s. money...well i just may jump from a bridge!! or die crying!!

wtf???????????????????????????????????????

i guess the right wingers will say when he gambles all there money away.............he was a nice born again gambler!!

if this wasn't so * admin and the norm now..put crooks sndf murderers in charge of our money and our kids..it would be hysterical...

but i believe anything from these phony assed religous nut cases!!

fly

[Pachamama]

18. Of course they aren't kidding - their plan is to gamble away our future,

so who better qualified than Bennett himself, a bonafide gambler!

It's unreal, isn't it? I keep thinking it can't get worse, but it does....they do it so blatantly too...

Wake me up from this nightmare... :grr:

[quaoar]

14. Bennett is a great choice

I'm sure he could bet the entire Social Security Trust Fund on the roulette wheel at Vegas and triple our money!

[swag]

15. Speaking of scumbag hypocrites,

let's not forget that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's campaign lost half a million in the stock market, and he wants us to share his joy with our Social Security money.

[Auntie Bush]

16. WHAT!!!!!! #%*)&&%#@ The worlds worst sleazy hypocritical

stupid gambler that lost millions is now going to be in charge of our
S.S. Money!!!!! He lost all his money when it was his...now he is going to be in charge of all OUR money and Gamble that away? :scared: How are we suppose to have confidence in our future? Does George do anything right?

[SoCalDem]

17. It could work to our advantage.. A Las Vegas Gambler eager

to get his hands on Granny's SS.. Those slots are a-callin'.."Come to Momma, Billy Boy"..."Baby need new shoes".."Seven Come Eleven".."Let It Ride"..

Our *² is a piece of work, eh??

Next thing we know, he'll appoint Neil Bush to head up a commission to "Help Stamp Out Prostitution"

[two gun sid]

19. I hope Bill puts mine on black. 50-50 chance with roulette.

[Straight Shooter]

20. Pathetic.

:eyes:

[gumby]

22. Don't forget the dominatrix

Well, Bennett really IS a bad boy.
