The whacky Jim McDerrrrmutt has stuck his foot in it again. Sadly, this man comes from my State. Happily, I am not in his district. How the hell he ties his “protest” vote against Christmas to President Bush vetoing this second iteration of the children’s health care bill is beyond me. But stranger things have happened in the little playground in his mind.

For those of you who don’t know McDerrrrmutt better, he is truly one of the most liberal in the House. He is a staunch supporter of Universal Health Care (can you say “socialist”?) He is one of only 67 congressman to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act. “Derrrr” had a role in Michael Moore’s “Farenheit 9/11?, is a member of the House Progressive Caucus, and is a Psychiatrist.

McDermott was convicted (several times, on up through appeals) for leaking a taped conversation, in violation of federal law, between John Boehner and Newt Gingrich in 1997. The House ethics committee concluded in December, 2006, that his actions violated ethics rules. “Derr” appealed up to the SCOTUS, but the appeal was denied, thus affirming the lower court decision.

“Derr” was given $5000 after a trip to Baghdad and a meeting with an Iraqi tied to the oil for food scandal.

In addition, “Derr”, while leading the pledge of allegiance in the House, left out the words “Under God”. This was right after Michael Newdow lost his case in the SCOTUS over that same phrase. “Derr” stated he “forgot”, since he was born in 1936, and was 17 when the phrase was added.

You will find “Derr” plastered on radical left websites such as The Huffington Post and The Daily KOS.

In 2004, “Derr” came out with the amazing prediction that Bush was hiding Osama, waiting for the perfect time to bring him out (obviously to use as a political tool).  

In other words, this fool is a class A-1 anti American wing nut. The fact that he can even get elected is a testimony to the fact that even Democracy can be pathetically tortured if enough idiots are allowed to vote.

So it should be no surprise that this intellectual abyss voted against the House Christmas resolution. It should not surprise you that he and only 8 others voted against this measure.

What should be surprising is his apparent lack of perspective, or his inability to speak either truthfully, or recognize the truth. 

McDerrrr-mutt stated “While the Republicans are busy passing a resolution celebrating Christmas, the President was busy vetoing health care for children.”

“The Republicans”??? Apparently “Derr” can’t count. The resolution passed 372-9. Of those 9 against, all were Democrats. That means an overwhelming number of Democrats voted for this resolution.

Although he will likely be an easy target again and again, this week, Jim McDerrrr-mutt is my choice for the “Nuts” category.
