As announced last night, I am proud to unveil, to the distinguished gentlemen of the IBC community, the dawn of a fresh mouthpiece: PistolPETEY. The “pedro” brand is no more–it’s an anachronism in the era of the tabbed blogger. The “pedro” brand might be enough to win a bullshit election at some high school in Idaho, but it’s hardly sufficient to win over a group of top hatted, ivory cane wielding gentleman. PistolPETEY is pure (no Teavana), unencumbered by the constipated musings of those vying for the crown of tabbed blogger. This space shall be PistolPETEY’s pasture, across which his top shelf commentary will be strewn. Here’s a prime example of said top-shelf commentary.
Since we’re inside of a couple of hours–and PistolPETEY’s still not on the ballot–I’ll keep today’s thoughts brief.
Hearing Turbo Timmy’s response to Steve Liesman’s question about the administration’s willingness to go over the Fiscal Cliff was deliciously hilarious:
LIESMAN: I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE ADMINISTRATION’S POSITION WHEN IT COMES TO RAISING TAXES ON THE WEALTHY, THOSE MAKING MORE THAN $250,000. IF REPUBLICANS DO NOT AGREE TO THAT, IS THE ADMINISTRATION PREPARED TO GO OVER THE FISCAL CLIFF?
GEITHNER: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
Timmy, I know you think Republicans are stupid but rest assured, they’re eminently aware of how these negotiations are shaping up: no deal hurts Republicans today, Obama forever. Posterity will reflect back and blame “King Barry” as a community organizer in over his head, who overplayed his hand and single-handedly engineered the Second Great Depression. On John Boehner’s congressional office boner, compromise Obama will. He’ll sign “Barry O” to one before year-end, whilst munching on PEAS. Time to eat your fair share, pal.
