Another Republican Ditches Bush

[Rose Siding]

snip>
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was Jack Abramoff's best friend in Congress. The two were so close that Rohrabacher was the only member of Congress to sign a letter asking a federal judge to give Abramoff a reduced sentence. ....

But when President Bush visited Rohrabacher's Orange County locale yesterday to pitch immigration reform, the OC Congressman wanted nothing to do with W.

"I don't want to be behind him looking glum and not applauding," Rohrabacher told the LA Times. "So as not to be rude to the president---which I think is inexcusable---I think I'll just be staying away."

Wow. Is Rohrabacher insinuating that Jack Abramoff is less toxic than President Bush?

1. well, i would not touch a slimeball either.

[niceypoo]

8. I would touch neither slimeball...

....Bush or Rohrabacher

[benburch]

2. Yep. That is what she is saying.

They KNOW he is insane.

Abramoff was just corrupt. GOP Crime Syndicate members know how to deal with that.

INSANE is another matter.

5. Dana is a man

I'm pretty sure

[benburch]

7. Ah.

Hard to tell with that name!

[CTLawGuy]

17. yeah

heh :)

[damntexdem]

3. I dunno. But Rohrabacher used to be "my" representative.

And he's as toxic as either Dubya or Abramoff -- just hasn't been as powerful.

4. rohrabaker is a racist

I would take Bush over that racist fascist anyday. He is mad at Bush because he won't agree to shoot Mexicans who are trying to come across the border.

6. Bush is becoming radioactive.

All the latest "blame the Democrats" and even hiring a Faux News spokesman will only make it worse.

9. I have just invented a twelve-foot pole.

So people like Dana Rohrabacher can touch people, like Bush, who they otherwise would not touch with a ten-foot pole.

[Zorra]

10. Republican legislators are equally as corrupt and as responsible

for the mess our country is in as Bu*h is.

They gave him everything he wanted. Attempts at distancing themselves from Bu*h at this point is an exercise in futility.

They are all going down with the ship.

11. That is like the pot not wanting to touch the kettle, to twist an old

saying.
Too late Dana. You are still scum. I have seen you on Bill Maher's show and I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole.

[Ikonoklast]

12. Hahaaa!! Every Puke up for re-election this year is lining up

Just to get the chance to throw * under the bus!


These guys all remind of St. Peter, denying knowing Christ in order to save himself. They know their Scripture. Good Christians all. Ha.

13. Let Them Introduce ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT Then!

[benburch]

15. We in Illinois are working on that... nt

[sharp_stick]

14. I'd say Rohrbacher is even worse than Bush

I know it's comparing pond scum to pond scum but if you have to put those two assholes together I think whorebacher is more of an asshole, at least a little bit, than shrub.

Maybe Bush was trying to avoid being seen with the not so honorable representaive from repukeland CA.

16. Whorebacher's seat is very safe - this is pretty big news

He could get caught with *'s dick in his mouth and still get elected. If he's firing on * it must be baaaaaaad.
