commander codpiece
widdle georgie bushit, thinskinned candyass, has finally been hoisted on his own stuffed codpiece. mission accomplished. this fascist front-thing deserves the antithesis of respect. he is directly and personnally responsible for 2407 American deaths, and tenfold that, minimum, in Iraqi civilian deaths. bushit has richly earned something far more scathing than satire.

Spongebob Congress does't deserve any respect either.
And Steny Hoyer - the empty talking head no one's ever heard of, filling a job that no one cares about, should understand that.

respect for Bush
when I was younger my grandmother made it clear that we were to respect all who earned the distingtion. No free rides. When Bush begins to show respect to the very citizens he has been lying to for five years,maybe then I will relent. Right now we are mere ants under his wingtip. He has earned no respect and as a result, will get none from me.
Steven Colbet is a hero. He had the courage to speak truth to power. He is a very, very courageous man.I am pround of him. He has earned complete respect from me!
As to that Senator, poo-poo to you. Give me one instance when Bush thought about someone other than himself!!

Respect? Um.......no
I'm fairly up to politics and what is happening on Capital Hill. I saw Stephen Colbert's performance on Saturday and thought it was brillant, funny, and camoflaged just enough that the people he was insulting actually thought he wasn't poking at them with a hot brand iron (scalia for example). He was fabulous and now has millions more fans watching his show more than Fox News. I love him now and would definitely love to meet him.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, what are you doing? You know what Bush has done and out of everyone on Capital Hill, you are one of the first ones to speak against Colbert besides (the obvious) Fox News? It doesn't make sense. Do you want Democrats to be labeled more pathetic than they already are now? I am a registered Democrat but I am ashamed that the party hasn't had the spine to speak up against the president when he is obviously wrong on....pretty much everything nowadays. Colbert has guts and put all of the Washington Press Corp. to shame for acting like sheep and just wanting to kiss a little ass and bump a little grind into an adminstration that is puppeting them.
Good job, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. I didn't know your name existed until now and if you don't mind, I'm putting your name back into the trash bin of the computer known as my brain. Pressing delete.

Which is why
I don't give the DEMS any money. No nads.

On the contrary,
I suggest that Steny Hoyer show Stephen Colbert some respect. Satire is difficult - the vast majority who attempt it fail. Dr. Strangelove, for example, is brilliant satire; American Dreamz, not so much.
What should be painfully obvious to everyone by now is the fact that Stephen's audience wasn't in that room. Stephen stepped up to that podium and showed the American people some respect, showed Helen Thomas, David Gregory and Terry Moran some respect. The rest of you, Mr. Hoyer, can start showing some respect for us, as well.
Show some respect for Mr. Bush? My copy of Emily Post is missing the chapter on engaging arrogant, self rightous liars and theives by way of polite social discourse.

When Steny Hoyer surgically removes his lips from Bush's rear end
...and washes his mouth out with soap -- he can feel himself qualified to speak about what true respect is.
Respect does not mean kow-towing to a President whose election is dubious at best, and who consistently and constantly disregards the concerns of those constituents which you, the "Democrat" claims to represent.
What respect is, is a value, and a state of mind and principle which goes both ways.
People with more concern for pomp and ceremony instead of real values have no business preaching about "respect". They have no real understanding of what it is.
Colbert did not "cross the line" - Steny Hoyer has.

Respect/Authoritay
South Park started it, in a general sense, and now Stephen Colbert has taken it to the next level. Hoyer sounds like Cartman jumping around and shouting "YOU MUST RESPECT HIS AUTHORITAY!!!"
Because honestly, that's the level that political debate has fallen to in this country. This administration's paranoia, power-mongering, and arrogance have created an atmosphere of self-reinforcing political surrealism unlike anything this country has seen.
Colbert was exactly right with his comment that the President believes the same thing from one day to the next no matter what happens along the way, with the result that there is no accountability and no adoption of new policies because it's not the administration that's wrong, it's reality that's wrong (or has a liberal bias), and eventually will come back in line with the President and his advisors' beliefs.
This isn't earnest discipline or staying this course, this is madness. There is no room for criticism, no room for acknowledging errors, no room for the slightest hesitation for fear the entire house of cards will come crumbling down. Most of all, the administration's sham game relies on a willing public, Congress, and press continuing to swallow the misdirection and lies, and refusing to insist on accountability of any sort while we continue to march merrily off to a war paid for and died for by the middle and working class people who have been hardest hit by the administration's economic and domestic policies.

Resolution
IF The whip is the member in charge of 'whipping' party members into line to vote the party line,
AND the Democrats are getting their butts handed to them in the House time after time,
AND Steny Hoyer is the Democratic whip,
THEN it would be fair to say Steny is not up to the task of being a the Democrat's whip, let alone speaking for Democrats.
RESOLVED: Let's run someone better qualified to represent Americans, let alone Democrats, in his District this fall. I suggest a write-in campaign; I assume primaries have been held.
I will also chip in for the surgery to have his lips surgically removed from the place they seem to firmly planted.
