Jerkass is not enough.

Most every week I try to give out an award on this blog. It's a funny term that I made up and it works for most situations. Not this week. Not now. No. There is a certain guy who leads a group of guys who have taken it a step further the past few weeks and deserve special recognition.

Over the past few weeks the Republicans in the Senate MINORITY have held this nation hostage. They have decided they will not allow anything to go forward in this nation unless their billionaire pals can pay lower taxes and pass those billions of dollars on to their third wives and trust fund kids when they die.

In order to get this, they have been willing to do anything. Anything. Here's a little list I can think of off the top of my head.

- Cut off unemployment insurance for millions of out of work Americans.
- Held hostage tax cuts for 98% of Americans.
- Damaged the security of the United States by refusing to even hold a vote on START. Which, as far as I can tell, every sane person on either side of the aisle is for.
- Refused to allow gays and lesbians to serve in the military.

That's all bad. Really bad. But you know what? It's not bad enough for these guys. Watch this.

That's right. Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, have denied funding for 9/11 first responders health care in order to get tax cuts for billionaires and their potential heirs. Well, you won, Mitch. Nice work. I hope it was worth it. Say hello to Hitler for me when you meet him in hell.

As I said, Jerkass is not enough for this guy. So, on behalf of any American that finds what you have done to this country beyond despicable, I would like to send out a big wet Memphis style Fuck You to you and your compadres. May Christmas bring you insight into what you have done in order to save the top 1% of this country. If that doesn't happen, may you get the clap.

Have a great weekend, folks. Big Grizz game tomorrow night in San Antonio. Go Grizz!!!!! Get Crunk!!!
