    My granpappy told me never to poke a stick at a wounded lobbyist. Now I know why.

    “Free lunch program” so we “leave no crooked politico behind”.

    Another scandel. Not suprised with the idiot Republicans.

    The D.C. city slogan: What happens in Washington doesn’t stay in Washington.

    It’s pathetic that someone with as much money as Burns could be bought with a couple of free hamburgers.


  9. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    I hear the neocons boast about how good and plentiful the food is at Gitmo, too. An alternative to be sure these fine Americans don’t starve to death.

    The Wimpy corruption: I’ll gladly pay you next week with legislation for a free meal today.

    Hey, if our senators lose the freedom of receiving free lunches from corporate lobbyists…then…uh…the terrorists will win!


  12. RUCerious says:

    You mean there is such a thing as a free lunch? Nope, not with the strings ol Jack __off tied to the ‘perks’ he doled out.

    Burns will get ‘Testored’ on Nov. 7th.
    Conrad, Testor has a ’secret plan’ to beat you!
    We can’t tell you what it is, because it’s secret,
    but we’ll let the cat out of the bag on Nov. 8th.
    Good riddance, Burnsie, heckuva job at Jackoff’s restaruant!

    people joked they would have ‘starved to death‘ without the lobbyist,

    There is always a grain of truth in humor. There is some truth to this. People really came to rely on honest Abe.


  15. ForTruth says:

    More power to that Kid who follows Burns around, video taping everything the guy does, to catch his screw-ups. Burns seems like a typical GOP a-hole.
