Not long ago, Joe Biden told this guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.

   Understandably, Biden withstood a torrent of jeers and criticism for the obvious gaff.

   Some rock-ribbed Republicans went so far as to characterize Mr. Biden's behavior as "sheer cruelty."

   A few diehard Democrats posited that the Vice President--being a believing Christian--may simply have been trying to heal the man.

   Both these groups were kidding--I think.

Republicans boycotted a Senate committee hearing today on a major bill to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

I guess you could say they gave it the cold shoulder. 

Obama called down the republicans last week telling them to just sit down and shut up....the republicans looked at each other puzzled because they thought they did that before the election!...... 

until I saw how Barack Obama deals with Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats...

Republicans demanded equal time so Dick Cheney waterboarded Stewie on "Family Guy." 

In a joint speech to Congress, President Obama called to both parties to help fix the nation's ailing health care system. President Obama asked both Democrats and Republicans to submit proposals that address the health care problems in America.    The opposing Republican’s suggested creating a panel to determine whether this bill should live or die.  

Ben and Jerry's announced they have changed the name of their new ice cream from Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby to support gay marriage.

 Critics say not only does it taste like shit, but theres too many nuts in it.

 They are also offering a hetero container so republicans can eat it in the closet.

Republicans demanded equal time so Mitt Romney pitched to one batter in the bottom of the seventh.

Sen. John Ensign of Nevada claims his parents gave $96,000 to his mistress and her family.

 Eliot Spitzer spent about $100,000 on his hooker over ten years or so and Senator Ensign spent $96,000 in one day. And the Republicans clam to be more fiscally responsible than Democrats.

There is no power-sharing deal between the Democrats and Republicans in the NY State Senate, however the NY Times says there’s a thaw between the two bickering parties. After the Democratic and Republican leaders met with Governor Paterson Friday, the Times noticed, "There was a lightened mood — after weeks of insults and accusations that have shattered the chamber’s usual decorum — and suggestions of progress, however halting."

Unfortunately, what both the Times and the blind governor failed to realize was that Paterson had been speaking to an empty room.
