The Word of the Day in Washington DC is Ass: How Appropriate


The word of the day in Washington DC is ass. It seems everyone is using it these days. In case you missed it earlier, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is worried the public is going to thing Congress is a bunch of "jackasses" with the release of a report showing the extreme government waste. As if Senator Coburn didn't think we were smart enough to figure it out on our own without another report reminding us that consumed more tax dollars.

Now Senator Orrin Hatch is using the word ass. He is calling Obamacare dumb-ass program. I think most knew that as well.

You know, this rhetoric reminds me of 1992, when George H.W. Bush began using the words Bozo and Ozoneman to describe Bill Clinton and Al Gore. It may make some headlines, but it does little more. In both of these cases, what are you going to do about it Senator Coburn and Senator Hatch?
