Late Late Night FDL: Empty Rooms

Gary Moore — Empty Rooms, live in Stockholm, 1987. What’s on your mind?

A trio of self-proclaimed GOP heroes
Heroes, one and all, if they do not say so themselves.

Let’s have a good solid Bronx Cheer for these three survivors of the burger wars:

Cliff Stearns (R-Florida) who added a provision to the 9/11 Responders health care bill last May that requires the tens of thousands of police, firefighters, emergency personnel, and construction workers etc. who sacrificed themselves for others that day to first be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list. If they have a similar name to a suspected terrorist they will be barred from getting medical treatment. Because clearly Cliff Stearns anti-terror bona fides are beyond question, while some guy who ran through fiery debris to save others might be a terrorist enabler…or voted for Cuomo.

And then there’s Senator James “Global Warming = Nazi” Inhofe (R-OK), who fresh off buzzing the tower and trying to land on people upon a closed runway, had his latest bit of saying whatever he pleases. Inhofe proclaimed natural gas fracking never poisoned anything — the day after a gigantic poisonous spill in Pennsylvania.

And then finally, there is — arguably — the greatest Republican exemplar of them all. Senator John Ensign (R-Nev) who proved that there’s no greater power in a Republican household than mom and dad’s money. This true Republican hero reportedly will resign his Senate seat as soon as this morning.

Someday they’ll be on stamps…in a random well-bribed Caribbean nation.
