310 Million Tits

Meet Alan Simpson, chief muckety-muck of President Obama's Catfood Commission and apparently their designated jackass. His response to a critical post at HuffPo?
Alan Simpson believes that Social Security is “like a milk cow with 310 million tits,” according to an email he sent to the executive director of National Older Women's League Tuesday morning. [...]

His email is peppered with exclamation points and condescension. At one point he urged Carson to read a certain graph, "which I hope you are able to discern if you are any good at reading graphs."

Simpson concludes by implying that leading a major organization dedicated to the interests of middle-aged and elderly women is not "honest work."

"If you have some better suggestions about how to stabilize Social Security instead of just babbling into the vapors, let me know," he writes. "And yes, I've made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know 'em too. It's the same with any system in America. We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work!"
This is the guy our President entrusted to steer the future of our social spending? Many updates at the link and he's apologized but too late. This guy clearly thinks the social safety net is not needed and characterizes the working poor who spent their lives paying into the system, greedy tit suckers for expecting to receive the benefits they were promised? He's gotta go.

With you 100% on Simpson. In fact, as soon as he was appointed, I was trying to figure out what the administration was up to. Simpson is such a caricature of the extreme stance on Social Security and Medicare, I hoped he'd been set up as the fall guy...someone whose behavior and positions were so outrageous that independents and the more reasonable conservatives would have to distance themselves from. Probably wishful thinking. I do a lot of that these days.

And, of course, he was appointed, which means he can be dis-appointed.

Strange that none of this language and demeaning imagery applies to the mogul hordes who sucked on many more tits without having paid into the system to finance their suckery.

YOu mean like the banksters? They are, of course, exempt.

There was a point at which I thought the Lincolnesque bit about hiring your rivals was cute, but it's starting to smell like fish of the same vintage.
