THE IDIOT
Last week, congress filed a bill (that I wish I had heard about) to strip ACORN, a left-wing activist group, of it's government funding. Had I actually known of this, I would have driven to their headquarters and danced in front of it. Okay, no I wouldn't. But I would have celebrated by whooping it up with Cheez-its and fruit punch, k?
Anyway, back on topic... ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis basically cried in a press-conference over the matter, and her organization is launching a lawsuit against the government. They claim that the bill was of attainder, meaning it was unfairly directed at one group. That would make it unconstitutional.
However, ACORN is really one to talk... Perhaps you might remember when tapes were filmed of controversial meetings with ACORN officials, in one of which they met with a pimp and prostitute, helping them on tax evasion and setting up a brothel.
Basically, congress had every right/reason to slice them out of taxpayer dollars, that would apparently be funding illegal prostitution houses, as well as God knows what. So, unconstitutional or not, Bertha Lewis is this weeks Idiot.
PATRIOT
Last week, the Republican National Committee realized it had a large fault in its insurance policy: it covered elective abortions.
Obviously, there's a serious issue involved there, as the Republican stance is pro-life. But, apparently, elective abortions have been offered from their insurance company, Cigna, since 1991.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," RNC Chairman Michael Steele said, "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
Well, then, it's settled! Thank you, Michael Steele, for doing the right thing and acting so quickly. For this, Steele is a Patriot.
