George W. Bush gave up golfing for the troops, can’t Elaine Chao give up dainty $450 French manicures?

Matt Gunterman June 30th, 2008

Hey, Pres. George W. Bush (R) gave up golfing as his “sacrifice” for the troops and the war effort.

A man and woman of \"the people\": the million-dollar people, that is.

You’d think that, with the economy tanking like it hasn’t since the days of Pres. Richard M. Nixon (R) and tens of thousands more Americans joining the unemployment lines each week, Sec. of Labor Elaine Chao would be willing to sacrifice a little, too.

Maybe she is. Who knows. I hear she’s fond of adult beverages. Perhaps she’s giving up some of those. I hear she’s fond of shoes. Lots and lots of shoes. Perhaps she’s not buying as many new pairs.

One thing Elaine Chao isn’t giving up is her dainty $450 French manicures. In fact, Chao took her entire entourage of six security personnel and two super-size, gas-guzzling SUVs this weekend to get all gussied up for the $2-million love fest between Chao’s husband Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

    Jim, it looks like you people are having the time of your life at these
    protests but the real job that you are doing is showing just what a
    liability rather than an asset Mitch McConnell is to Kentucky and the
    United States.

    I looked at the “poll” on teammitch.com. Looks like the people don’t get many choices to answer the survey with. Kinda reminds you of the George Bush crap, alias “The Decider” and I don’t think that I ever reader about a decider in the United States Constitution, only a President. I guess if you express an opinion to Mitch you will agree with him of your opinion does not count.

    Let’s see question one about a tax increase. I didn’t see any choices about the United States paying off its debt to countries like China and NEVER borrowing money from foreign countries again.

    Question two about oil prices, nope nothing about putting the Citizens of the United States first, stop exporting the economy, and moving jobs back to this country (the price of oil would drop because the worldwide demand would drop).

    Question three about “protect America Act”, no available answer stating that we need to abide by the first amendment of the Constitution, but I keep forgetting that Natural law is the law that McConnell follows and the religious nutcases are running this country now. When you have the holy rollin’ religious nut cases running this country, who needs a Constitutiuon?
