Clown show

District of Columbia Congressional Delegate (whatever that is) Eleanor Holmes Norton demonstrates how not to diagonal-park. Geometry-challenged, maybe?

Or maybe it was the white lines that threw her off, eh? Although you’ll notice her young aide is white. And why is that, you might ask? Is there a scarcity of black ones?

It is lovely that the Internet (so far) allows us to see such clown shows which, as recently as the early 1990s, the snooze media would have kept to itself.

Laws are for the little people*

They’re certainly not for the Hildabeast, and her lapdog news media is too busy licking her shoes to notice. Which is good for her, ’cause she has a lot to hide.

“’After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis,’ Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), the chairman of the select committee investigating the [Benghazi] attacks, announced Friday evening.”

Now we’ll see if the GOP has the nutmegs to find her in contempt of Congress. For starters. Don’t hold your breath. Nixon would be so envious.

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens could not be reached for comment.

* Famed Instapundit headline

UPDATE:  The government many of us find dysfunctional works wonderfully well for Friends of Bill & Hill. It’s all about who you know.

Willie’s Reserve: Better late than never

He had to wait until he was 81 years old, but famed all-day toker Willie Nelson finally will offer Willie’s Reserve, his own brand of legal marijuana—at least in those states where it’s legal to sell it for recreational use.

Which, IIRC*, so far is only Colorado. The others, including D.C., allow you to grow your own but not to buy or sell it. He might be better off selling grow lights and how-to books.

UPDATE: *Okay, I’m wrong. Only D.C. requires you to grow but not to sell or buy it. You can buy or sell it for recreational use in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska and at least a couple of cities in Maine. Go for it, Willie!

The smear goes on

Once the Democrat news media gets hold of a narrative, they will not only never let it go, they will tend to err in favor of it. However stupid it makes them look. And, of course, seldom, if ever, apologize afterwards.

Et tu, George Zimmerman? Slayer in self-defense of thug-and-drug-boy Trayvon. The son our Barry Hussein would have had if he’d had a son? Which makes a whole lot more sense now that we know ol’ Bare the law-breaker so much better.

Good luck, Ted

The racist Democrat operatives of the news media already are on your case, not even 24 hours after you announced for president. You’ve already become NPR’s “white hispanic,” second to George Zimmerman, killer (in self defense) of the thug Trayvon.

What amazes me is how many Hispanics let them get away with this. Not every Hispanic is brown, as some of the whiter ones will quickly remind you. And they’re white because their ancestry is full-blood Spanish. No Indio.

But it won’t bother Ted. He’ll just use it against the Democrats. He may not win the nomination but it will be fun watching him kick ass trying. Go get ’em, Ted.

UPDATE:  Althouse:  “This is a truly powerful speech. Just brilliant.” The thing about Ted, for those who don’t like him, is that he offers one of the very few chances we have left to stop the continual growth (and intrusiveness) of the federal government.

MORE:  The daily called the speech a “pitch,” the headline writer unable to control his politics. No surprise there.

AND:  To the New Yorker, Ted’s an “uppity loudmouth.” Well, he is a Texas senator. Swagger comes with the job. And the guaranteed disdain of NYC leftists.

Rule 5: Cheesecake

Tax deadbeat Al Sharpton

“When he speaks at public colleges and universities, Al Sharpton flies first-class, stays in upscale hotels, travels to events in a chauffeured vehicle, and often brings a bodyguard or aide with him. He makes these demands on taxpayer-funded institutions, despite owing as much as $4.5 million in unpaid taxes and penalties.”

And, don’t forget, the rev with the old-fashioned Negro-style “conked” hairdo, is Barry Hussein’s special pal who often stays at the White House. So much for the rule of law, eh Barry? Doesn’t apply to your friends, we guess.
