Fucking whiners

It appears republican house members have got their panties in a twist over democratic plans to make congressmen actually earn their paychecks. Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week. A few of the choice comments:

"Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

and

Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.), who had intended to retire this year, only to be persuaded to run again, wondered whether the new schedule was more than symbolic. "If we're doing something truly productive, that's one thing," he said. "If it's smoke-and-mirrors hoopla, that's another."

and from the Boner himself, a demonstration of the rethug committment to public service:

House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), one of the architects of the lighter workweek, put the best Republican face on Hoyer's new schedule.

"They've got a lot more freshmen then we do," he said of the Democrats. "That schedule will make it incredibly difficult for those freshmen to establish themselves in their districts. So we're all for it."

Earth to Boner, the reason the dems have all those new freshmen is because your party is full of lazy ass fuckups.

So boo fucking hoo. For $150,000 a year, I expect my representatives to actually work. If being a congresscritter interferes with your fucking extracurricular activities, then resign your seat.

I'm sure the American people can find someone who actually cares about serving their country.
