Sorry, folks. I am watching tonight's show and just burning. Today, especially, I am NOT in the mood to hear about a bunch of corporate fatcats who made sure they all got bonuses DESPITE being abject failures at their jobs. :grr: :nuke:

Boner & U.S. Rep. Austria blames Depression on Roosevelt
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 7:36 AM


U.S. Rep. Steve Austria said he supports a scaled-down federal economic-stimulus proposal, but the Beavercreek Republican told The Dispatch editorial board that the huge influx of money into the economy could have a negative effect.

"When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression," Austria said. "He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history."

Most historians date the beginning of the Great Depression at or shortly after the stock-market crash of 1929; Roosevelt took office in 1933.

Do you want 'em? bottom of Union Bay would work???

[SeattleGirl]

42. As Sarah would say, thanks but no thanks.

I'll keep Murray, Cantwell, and McDermott.

[Patsy Stone]

43. Today is her birthday.

Whee.

[SeattleGirl]

44. I should have worn my Naughty Monkey boots

:P

[SeattleGirl]

45. Love those Ben & Jerry suggestions!

Too bad they aren't really going to make an ice cream for Bush. :rofl:

[bleever]

46. They were hilarious.

"I broke the law and caused the deaths of thousands of people, with nuts."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

48. "Heckuva Job, Brownie."

:rofl:

More proof Keith reads the interwebs. That was posted here last week. I'm sure it made it to dKos.

[Berry Cool]

49. Cantor can kiss my AFSCME.

My mother was in that union.

[Berry Cool]

52. I also want it known I never heard of Congressman Steve Austria before, either.

Honestly, we don't grow 'em ALL that stupid in O-high-o. It only seems that way. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

55. The great depression between his ears.

:rofl:

[Botany]

56. You got that ... don't forget your BFF Jenny Brunner

Brunner for President 2016

[WolverineDG]

58. LOL

that is a funny video, but DUMB DUMB DUMB for Cantor to make this his response. :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

63. Funny? Yes.

Politically wise to associate yourself with? No.

[Botany]

53. It was the phone's fault

Steve Austria tries to make up

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

U.S. Rep. Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek


Freshman U.S. Rep. Steve Austria onceded yesterday that President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not cause the
In a one-page e-mail, the Beavercreek Republican wrote: "I did not mean to imply in any way that President Roosevelt was responsible for putting us into the Depression, but rather was trying to make the point that Roosevelt's attempt to use significant spending to get us out of the Depression did not have the desired effect. Roosevelt did not put us into the Depression, but rather his policies could not pull the nation out of the recession."

The day before, as Austria was explaining his opposition to the huge federal stimulus package backed by President Barack Obama, he told The Dispatch editorial board: "When Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. ... He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history."

Austria said he gave that message via telephone to constituents at a recent town-hall meeting.

[Berry Cool]

64. BZZZZZT!...Sorry, but that excuse makes no sense.

Thanks for playing, Mr. Austria, but you still LOOOOOOOOOSE.

[Botany]

57. Good News

Cantor is not from Ohio

Velma!

[bleever]

59. She's extra sassy tonight.

"I apologize if I offended anyone, any of you wussies out there."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

60. OMG, Velma wears a lovely red scarf, she tilts her head, Keith tries deliberately to make her laugh

by doing his Bronx accent...I feel as if I'm looking in on a couple's first date.

I mean, I feel like an intruder!

Love is happening, people!!!! :loveya:
