109. He didn't mock "liberals". He mocked the teabaggers of the left who...
can't accept not getting everything they want the way they want it.

Yeah-- we have our own whiny, self-important group of assholes who insist they, and only they, have the way to get things done around here and it's just too bad everyone else in the world is too lazy and stupid to see it their way.

Well, it's a big, bad, complicated world out there and if you can't deal with getting only half your loaf, just get out of the way and let the rest of us get something done. It won't be perfect, but it will be a little better than what we'll get from Speaker Boehner.

The taste of sour grapes from a lot of people don't have 30 grand to splurge at a fundraiser is so prevalent it's wandering over here and making my dinner taste funny. How the fuck do you think money is really raised?

(And the threat to not work for Democrats or Obama is a hollow one-- I don't believe anyone who would drop out now was ever worth two shits to the cause.)
