The Weiner fallout

steele coddington in spoof spaceIs the Weiner roast over? Not really, because it’s a mind-set that’s on trial. The most bazaar political side show ever, featured Anthony I-love-my-body Weiner, Congressman and extinguished advocate of ultra-liberal causes just as irrational as his personal sexual exploits. It’s too bad it had to take separate and distinct kinky sexual communiqués to expose a mind and personality totally missing any sense of judgment or regard for consequences.

One of the disturbing revelations of the poster-boy and point-man for many of the misguided leftist agendas for America is the realization that his strident advocacy of Obama’s ideological programs to change America, is just as lacking in common sense as his sexually deviant behavior. The inability to evaluate the consequences of social improprieties is even more disastrous when the same inability to think clearly is applied to the imposition of political courses of action that will permanently damage the country’s economy and lead to catastrophic national bankruptcy. Waving the class-warfare flag of redistribution of wealth in the name of social justice give-aways is more about getting reelected than fulfilling “tear jerking” liberal recitations of phony manufactured social needs they think can only be fixed with obscene increases in government spending and political gifts to the likes of ACORN, unions and the education lobby.

So what do I really think? I think the timing is perfect for our introduction of this Spoof Space Q and A column last month, dedicated to answering questions from confused members of recognized terrorist groups in hiding, seniors trying to cope with cell phones, smart phones, computers, prostate problems, Medicare, Viagra, Social Security, arthritis, higher taxes and the chronically unemployed, wishing Obama would just go away with George Soros.

This week’s first question is from Sparky in Queens, N.Y.

Dear Dr. S: I recently saw a cartoon showing President Obama saying, “I won’t allow the half of Americans who pay NO taxes to bear the burden of the other half who aren’t paying their fair share.” That sounds pretty reasonable. What do you think?

Dear Sparky: It only sounds reasonable if you live in California, N.Y. or Michigan and admire representatives like Anthony Weiner, who think redistributing America’s wealth will save the universe and stop global warming. Obama and Weiner types want to increase taxes on the top 10 percent of income earners who currently pay 70 percent of all income taxes collected. You must be smoking the same fuzzy smoke and mirrors they are, Sparky!

From Hortense in Sacramento: What can we do with politicians who love their bodies, lie and abuse the public’s trust socially and legislatively?

Dear Hortense: Politicians should be treated NO differently than food. They need to be grilled. Inspected for false labeling. Figuratively speaking, sampled (taste testing) for common sense and subject to recall for causing Salmonella of the mind, lying and/or false body advertising. Man’s eternal quest for a comfortable pillow needs to be redirected to examining politicians for soft heads, compulsive crotch chicanery and liberal brain-wash.

Code word

An old priest got sick of everyone in his parish confessing adultery. During one Sunday's sermon he told them, "If one more person confesses to adultery, I'll quit!"

Since everyone liked him, they decided to use a code word: "fallen." From then on, anyone who had committed adultery said they had "fallen."

This satisfied the old priest and the parishioners, and everything was fine for years, until finally the old priest passed away at the ripe old age of 93.

Shortly after the new young priest settled in, he paid a call on the mayor. The priest was quite concerned. "You have to do something about the sidewalks in this town, Mayor. You can't believe how many people come into the confessional talking about having fallen!"

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had explained their code word to the new priest.

But before the mayor could explain, the priest shook his finger at the mayor and said - "I don't know why you're laughing; your wife fell three times last week!"
