Maxine Waters Blames Bush For Her Crimes

The California Democrat said in a Capitol Hill news conference -- an event rarely held during a congressional recess -- that she reached out to then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in late 2008 when his department failed to respond to the National Bank Association's request for a meeting.

"The question at this point should not be why I called Secretary Paulson, but why I had to," she said. "The question at this point should be why a trade association representing over 100 minority banks could not get a meeting at the height of the crisis."

Blaming good old G.W. "Nukular" Bush is really old hat. I think even some of the less insane liberals are starting to tire of the tactic. I think George Bush did damage to this country second only to that dealt by Barry Soetoro, but we all have to keep in mind that Bush was and Barry is the tool, not the craftsman. But the criminal Democrats and criminal Republicans always have to finger a scapegoat when they're caught. For Rangel it was racism. For Waters it was Hank Paulson, evidently under direct orders from Bush to ignore her requests.

The entire game in Washington D.C. has been exposed. The people now know that nearly the entire government, from the top all the down, is rotted from within. There are a select few truly patriotic, originalist conservatives and a few honest Democrats but honesty and a feeling of duty to serve the American people are very rare things in the Capitol building. And we all know with whom Soetoro has surrounded himself -- three dozen Czars and Czarinas, all bizarre creatures of various Communist, Marxist, Leninist, fascist, anarchist, terroristic and anti-American flavors.

I don't think Maxine Waters is one of those Democrats actively trying to destroy the country. She is simply probably a once well-meaning public who let years and years of the culture inside the beltway corrupt her. She influenced the government to help out a bank in which her husband was invested, simple as that. You all know the saying about power and absolute power. Waters is the result of what great power does to people, to most people anyway.

George Washington was offered the opportunity essentially to be the king of America, he correctly declined that as a dangerous direction in which to take the new nation. It would be quite refreshing if we, the increasingly aware and politically intelligent general public, could find candidates to fill the hallowed halls of the district named for that great man who were more similar to him than to your average mid-level mafia capo. Because that's what Washington has largely become -- a haven for a gang of thieves and power-mad sociopaths who care for nothing except their own enrichment and empowerment.

Have a nice retirement, Irrepresentative Waters. Maybe you along with Charlie Rangel, Mark Foley and Alcee Hastings could for once get ahead of the game and plan a new, legal investment. The four of you disgraced members and ex-members could make money the legal way for once, and I'll give you the idea for free. Design a planned community, preferably in a foreign country which does not have an extradition agreement with the United States. Build fancy bungalows and surround the entire place with armed guards or foreign troops. It will be a haven for ex-pat former Senators and Representatives -- a place for them to run and hide when charges are eventually brought against dozens and dozens of Congressmen and women.

Think about it Maxine -- you could make a fortune the honest way, the American way. There will be high demand for residence in your new planned community, and I'll even give you a catchy name for the ads -- Verminville. You and the rest of your criminal colleagues can retire to Verminville and enjoy all the spoils you've looted from the American people's treasury. You get something and we get something -- you and the thieving rats all leave and enjoy retirement in a tropical paradise, and we the real Americans get control of our government back. It's either that or possibly be sent to federal prison. Think about it, Mrs. Waters. It's a win-win for us. You're busted and you are, and probably always have been bush league.
