Just A Good Ol' Boy

The Ragister makes it seem that CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well had an epiphany on health care because of his town halls.

A minor exception is Rep. Leonard Boswell, who staked out support for the public insurance option during meetings in Sigourney and Des Moines. The Des Moines Democrat said he had long been open to the position but had not committed to the stance endorsed by House Democratic leaders.

Leonard doesn't know what an epiphany is, let alone know how to spell it and the scientific community is united in that fact.

His mind is so open, his brains fell out years ago.

Bleeding Heartland noted on June 9th that BOZO-well still supported a health care reform bill containing a public option that would go into effect immediately.

Also mentioned is how BOZO-well signed on Health Care for America Now's core principles on health care reform.

Core principles that include a public insurance plan without a private insurer middleman that guarantees affordable coverage.

I'm just amazed that the sophisticated media doesn't call Leonard on his goof, err good ol' boy bs.

Stop, Look And Listen Baby

That's my philosophy, it's called rubberneckin' baby but that's alright with me.

Not too many stopped to gawk, or listen, to Leonard BOZO-well at the Iowa State Fair.

Ten to 12 were in the crowd(?) that included his family, the press and a member of Tom Latham's campaign.

Here's what Leonard laid on them...

“I had a person come up and talk to me a while ago and say, ‘You’re kind of a nice guy.’ I said, thank you, I appreciate that. ‘Mr. Latham’s a nice guy, we’re kind of confused.’ I said, ‘What are you confused about, look at the record.’ You’ll find out you don’t need to be confused”

The BOZO-well record includes supporting TARP --

“I voted for it. My opponent did not. He didn’t think it was a good idea. If you want to know a difference between he and I, there’d be a difference. And it’s pretty big”

BOZO-well also bragged about supporting Obamacare  and not voting for Paul Ryan's budget --

“I did not. So there’s some things to be thinking about there.”

So think about this, BOZO-well voted to reduce Medicare spending by $716 billion between 2013 and 2022 which directly affect current retirees.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

It's looking like the year that Leonard will finally be let go by the voters.

An older woman said she will vote for Boswell but she doubts he’ll get more than 46 percent.

No truth to the rumor it was his wife, Dody.

One Word

The Liter has obtained this picture of CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well in intense prep for his TV debate with Tom Latham.

Leonard learned a new word, disingenuous, and he repeated it often.

What helped Leonard learn is looking at pictures of himself and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The prep has its roots in the reprogramming from A Clockwork Orange.

Responsibility

A news conference regarding the transportation bill was held by CommieTommie Harkin, Leonard BOZO-well and Des Moines Mayor Frank Clownie...err Cownie.

Democrats call for bipartisanship to pass road bill

CommieTommie said -- “One of the major responsibilities of the United States Congress is to maintain the infrastructure of this country”.

Harkin spare us the hue and cry about responsibility and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Especially in lieu of the Dummycrat controlled United States Senate, which Harkin is a member, shirking their responsibility to pass a budget for three straight years in violation of federal law.

For what it's worth BOZO-well brayed -- “This is the first bill that I’ve been involved in that I realized partisanship has set in”.

That's just Leonard being Leonard, senility set in a long time ago.

As for Clownie, he was still in sweatpants, from the Mayor’s Annual Ride, earlier.

Stay clASSy you three.

Just Good Ol' Boys

An aide to CONgressman Leonard BOZOwell has let the cat out of the bag by leaking Bill Clinton will be headlining a July 25 fundraiser.

BUBBA2?

Bubba aren't square, Bubba are round - cornbread are square and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Warren County will welcome them, that's apropos, even though its part of BOZOwell's former district.

Here's a picture of the shack they'll be having their hoedown in.














BOZOwell (pictured) is showing off the technology "they can bring us" thanks to us doing "all the science that we can."

In a related development, our friend Pat notified me that if you Google Leonard BOZOwell it pulls up Leonard's web page like nobody's business!

Desperate Times

Leonard BOZO-well must be Democrat because he's a braying ass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

In August, at the Iowa State Fair, Boswell commented on the personal issue that occurred between his opponent Brad Zaun and a one time girlfriend --

"My first thought was because I have worked on women’s issues that I felt badly for the woman involved because she has to live it again. I don’t like that. I think she deserves better...".

Leonard, worried about his re-election, has made a conscious decision to make her live it again, by now featuring it in one of his many negative ads.

Boswell needs to be defeated because Iowans deserve better.

Just Passing Through

It seems like that should be the title of the resume for Scott Ourth, rather than the book (pictured) that he reviewed.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

After spending maybe two months in his position as public affairs director at Disability Rights IOWA, Ourth announced he'll be running, AGAIN, for the Iowa Statehouse.

The Liter first became aware of Mr. Ourth when he went to work for Warren County as public affairs director on August 15, 2007.

By February 2008, Ourth had asked for, and was granted, a leave of absence to run Leonard BOZO-well's campaign against Ed Fallon.

Other highlights(?) of Ourth's resume include in 1998 serving as --

3^rd Congressional District field director for Gov. Tom Vilsack and Rep. Leonard Boswell. He later served as campaign manager for Rep. Boswell’s 2000 successful re-election bid. Scott has continued to act as senior consultant on many state and federal campaigns. In 2005, he was appointed assistant secretary of state for operations. He later served as field director in Chet Culver’s successful run for governor. After serving on the Governor-Elect’s transition team, Scott became aide to the majority leader of the Iowa House of Representatives during the 2007 legislative session.

Ourth remind us of a similar Dummycrat shill, Phil Roeder.

Roeder recently bounced back to the Des Moines Public School's for a salary of $80,000.

Ourth's public service(?) career has not been without controversy as he was accused, in 2006, of working on the Big Lug Nut's gubernatorial campaign while being paid by Iowa taxpayers.

Welcome back to the arena Scott, or is it Porkchop?

Leonard

I love how Leonard thinks he can hoodwink people with his garsh darn good ol' boy bs.

BOZO-well, who was surprised by the turnout at his Sigourney town hall, says he may (or may not) vote for health care reform.

Please, he's voting for it and the scientific community is united in that fact.

You don't even have to read between the lines.

"We've got to make our effort and I'd rather fail trying than just fail, or just stand by."

Reads like a yes vote to me.

Need further convincing?

"And it hasn't happened yet and we haven't seen the final (bill) and you know it's very likely, it's very possible -- I'm not going to say 'likely' because I want this to move forward -- it's very possible it could be something I can't vote for."

He's such a wordsmith, I can see why people might be confused.

The Staggering Genius

It's nice of CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well to find his way back to the Iowa side of the Missouri River, after his Omaha fundraiser with Nancy Pelosi.

BOZO-well made a brief appearance and pitched unity at a bipartisan coffee, in Council Bluffs, with area members of the Iowa Legislature.

Leonard laid his usual words of wisdom on those gathered and the scientific community is united in that fact.

"It's a precarious time we're in. We have to deal with it and not just for ourselves, but for our children. We've got to pull together."

That ranks, and ranks is the keyword, right up there with --

we can't afford to keep doing what's going on

they can bring us the technology

we ought to do all the science that we can

misleading misinformation

ClASSic!

D Triple C

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's (DCCC) latest expenditures, on behalf of Leonard BOZO-well, are at $84,000 for a media buy (TV, Radio, Newspapers) and $11,000 for mailers to homes.

All to trash his opponent via personal attacks that are inaccurate.

I guess it's because Leonard has nothing positive to report after 13 years in CONgress and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Oops, did I use the wrong logo for the DCCC?

Well, Rahm Emanuel was a onetime chair, so a logo with the Devil seems accurate.

Fat

CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well has no business pointing fingers at the fat folks at the fair.

"If you did a little people watching, you saw a lot of people who should be doing something about their health."

Leonard can thank his far from fully disclosed 2005 illness and treatment for his weight loss.

Ironically, most of those people he's picking on are his constituents or vote Dummycrat and the scientific community is united in that fact.

There's also his Governor, and constituent, the Big Lug Nut
























BOZO-well's statement came at his second (and final?) town hall meeting on health care, where he continues to underwhelm with such down home bullshit as...

"This is an important matter, and we're going to continue to work on it."

"We've got to get our hands on it because of the impact on the people and also the impact on the economy; we can't afford to keep doing what's going on."

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP DOING WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Then there's these moldy oldies from the sitting CONgressman...

"they can bring us the technology".

"we ought to do all the science that we can".

"misleading misinformation".

In the Lion's Den

I was stunned at the setting, but I have to give major credit to Jeff Lamberti for doing it.

Lamberti debated Leonard BOZO-well yesterday AT the United Auto Workers Union Hall north of Des Moines.

You can't be timid if you're running for Congress and Lamberti wasn't. The Ragister reports he "attacked" BOZO-well's record on wasteful spending.

Because of that he made an impression with one voter.

Mark Cohan, a registered Democrat from Urbandale, said he was "on the middle of the fence."

"I was impressed that Mr. Lamberti raised several issues that are part of wasteful spending, and I was saddened that Mr. Boswell did not reply to that."

Lamberti was also able to turn BOZO-well's "experience" against him.

"I feel like I bring a lot of experience to the table, and experience counts," Boswell said. "It's not a time for on-the-job training."

"My opponent has been labeled as one of the least effective members of Congress and the least effective member of the Iowa delegation," Lamberti said. "I will fight for positive change."

Leonard BOZO-well is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, but that's as close as he gets to INTELLIGENCE!

Iowa's Dummycrats are the BIGGEST WASTE

In two recent ratings for Congress, Iowa's CommieTommie Harkin & Leonard BOZO-well are really RANK!

For the past 17 years, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste(CCAGW) has looked at votes in Congress to determine who is voting in the taxpayers interest versus who prefers big government and pork-barrel spending.

The average rating for the House of Representatives was 45%, of that Republicans were 73% and Dummycrats were 13%.

LeonardBOZO-well's score was 8%!

The average rating for the Senate was 46%, of that Republicans were 68% and Dummycrats were 18%.

CommieTommie Harkin's score was 4% and that was the lowest score recorded!

CommieTommie wasn't the only Dummycrat with the lowest score. Others in the quagmire were; Byron Dorgan (ND), Richard Durbin (IL), Frank Lautenberg (NJ), Pat Leahy (VT), Paul Sarbanes (MD) and Minority Leader Harry Reid (NV).

Also, The Club For Growth came out with their ratings.

Leonard BOZO-well's score was 11 and that ranked him next to John"CUT & RUN" Murtha.

CommieTommie Harkin's score was 0.

That tied him with 20 other Senators. Some of those 20 were; HRC, John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Barack Obama and Harry Reid.

The LAFS on Leonard...this fall

Thanks to my lovely wife, I came across an article that appeared in The Washington Times. This article mentioned how local fire departments are using grants from the Department of Homeland Security. The Crawfordsville, Indiana F.D. spent $55,000 on gym equipment and instruction on fitness and nutrition. One of the other 250 grants went to Des Moines. The D.M.F.D. received $69,435 to teach fire safety through puppet and clown shows. First it was taxpayer money that was wasted on those BOZO's at CIETC. Now it's Sesame Street Lite! Tom Schatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste, said Congress and Homeland Security officials appear to be "having trouble prioritizing". Congress? I did a little checking and found Dummycrat Leonard Boswell had announced the LAFS for Life grant back in March. “Teaching fire safety to our youth and elderly is extremely important in our community,” said Boswell. “I commend our fire department for undertaking this very worthwhile project.” Here's the URL-- http://www.lafsforlife.org and check out their blog too-- http://www.lafsforlife.blogspot.com Maybe they can afford to update it now. Boswell used to be my Congressman and I have met him. He's a nice man, but I hear the theme to Deliverance, "Dueling Banjos", whenever he's around. I'm glad I got redistricted to Tom Latham. It's an embarrassment to have him represent Des Moines. I hope Jeff Lamberti defeats him in November and then the taxpayers can quit squealing like a pig!!

Solid Gold Telephone

It looks like someone has finally brought technology to Leonard BOZO-well.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Washington Free Beacon reports BOZO-well has raked in more than $50,000 since 2002 for hosting a cell phone tower on his property, while sponsoring a number of bills designed to boost rural telecommunications.

Apparently conflict of interest is not in the CONgressman's vocabulary.

Who are we kidding, the word vocabulary isn't in BOZO-well's vocabulary.

I'm thinking the CONgressman will say the story is based on faulty, misleading misinformation,even though it comes from his own financial disclosure filings.

What'd he say?

House Dummycrats have spent most of the week embarrassing America with the Iraq War resolution.

Leonard BOZO-well took the opportunity to embarrass any Iowan with a brain.

BOZO-well, on the floor of the House, was supposed to say..."I recognize the pretext for going to war was based on faulty, misleading intelligence".

What BOZO-well said was, "The pretext for going to war was based on faulty, misleading misinformation."

HUH?

Let me say that again backwards, HUH?

Wow, a double negative.

That makes the information accurate and BOZO-well having no intelligence!

No wonder the Dummycrats consider his seat vulnerable for '08.

I agree with the Wall Street Journal's take on the debate...

"Congress has rarely been distinguished by its moral courage. But even grading on a curve, we can only describe this week's House debate on a vote of no-confidence in the mission in Iraq as one of the most shameful moments in the institution's history."

"On present course, the members will vote [today] to approve a resolution that does nothing to remove American troops from harm's way in Iraq but that will do substantial damage to their morale and that of their Iraqi allies while emboldening the enemy..."

"The motion at issue is plainly dishonest, in that exquisitely congressional way of trying to have it both ways. ... The resolution purports to 'support' the troops even as it disapproves of their mission. It praises their 'bravery,' while opposing the additional forces that both President Bush and General David Petraeus, the new commanding general in Iraq, say are vital to accomplishing that mission. And it claims to want to 'protect' the troops even as its practical impact will be to encourage Iraqi insurgents to believe that every roadside bomb brings them closer to their goal."

AMEN!

What me worry?

Dummycrat CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well is refusing to debate his primary opponent Ed Fallon.

Debate sponsors, The Ragister and KCCI/TV8, suggested two dates at the end of May (when BOZO-well might be awake).

BOZO-well's campaign believes there wouldn't be enough time, prior to the June 3 primary, to respond to any misleading misinformation or any negatives that came up.

From their candidate!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Thistling in the dark

Here's a preview of tomorrow's thistle.











The Ragister is awarding it to CommieTommie Harkin and Leonard Bozo-well for a bill that is wasting Congress' precious time by naming the Federal Building in Des Moines after Neal Smith.

The bill was introduced in February and passed Wednesday, even though Smith already has a wildlife refuge in his name.

Meanwhile, important budget bills remain mired up to their hubcaps. Is there any wonder why Congress has such low public approval ratings?

Iowas Newz Liter is ready to honor CommieTommie and Bozo-well by renaming the Iowa Pork Industry Center after them.

It's a fitting honor and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Breaking Snooze

This will come as a shock to Dummycrat CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well, but the sky is blue, the grass is green and the sun is hot.

Sigourney turnout surprises Boswell

For a forum on health care?

"I wasn't expecting this kind of crowd."

BOZO-well's been brain dead for quite awhile, and the scientific community is united in that fact, but his staff would have to have shit for brains not to expect a large turnout.

A Bridge Too Far?

It seemed like a celebratory article when the Ragister ran this.

State ranks high in stimulus use

Iowa is second to Wyoming in the percentage of highway stimulus money that is being used, with some funds designated to build new concrete decks on aging bridges.

CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well said...

"The need to strengthen our nation's infrastructure to create jobs, modernize our transportation network, improve efficiency and enhance safety is there, and it is urgent."

However, the AP found most states are spending stimulus money on bridges that are already in good shape.

Of the 2,476 bridges scheduled to receive stimulus money so far, nearly half have passed inspections with high marks, according to federal data.

Those 1,123 sound bridges received such high inspection ratings that they normally would not qualify for federal bridge money, yet they will share in more than $1.2 billion in stimulus money.

More "greater inefficiencies" in government and the scientific community is united in that fact.
