Here we go with another "bipartisan commission"

[bluestateguy]

:eyes:

This time the problem is veteran health care.

But never fear! The problem will be solved!

Drumroll please...

A fact finding blue ribbon commission to investigate the latest vexing problem

BTW, who gets to wear the ribbon?

Bring out the bipartisan commission regulars! Roll out the Washington old farts! We've got another one for you! Lee Hamilton, Leon Panetta, Bob Dole, Gary Hart, Warren Rudman, Madeline Albright, Vernon Jordan, David Gergen, Sandra Day O'Connor, Tom Kean, Sam Nunn, Chuck Robb, Jim Baker and Hamilton Jordan.

Never fear! The commission is going to produce...

Drumroll please...

A REPORT

which the Bush White House will then likely use as toilet paper.

These problems could be solved relatively quickly if the executive branch would exercise a little leadership.

1. Damn......

I should have locked up the supply of whitewash a couple of years ago. Somebody's making a lot of money on that stuff during the Bush years.

[underpants]

2. Does Bush actually do anything himself? Why WASN'T this taken care of?

You can have all the commission you want but everyone here has known that they have been slashed the VA since before the war. They clearly want to privatize the whole thing.

[robinlynne]

3. what a list. I'd say a year and a half, two years to produce the toilet paper.

and that's recycled even.

[wake.up.america]

4. Why are American taxpayers supporting Cabinet Members and their staff, when all we need are...

blue ribbon committees?

[robinlynne]

5. You know what, I could propose clear solutions in one week! As Cynthia

mckinney says "you jsut have to ask the questions!"

[Horse with no Name]

6. Excuse me for sounding stupid

But why pay all these geezers when we have an elected Congress that are ALREADY being paid AND have oversight responsibilities?:shrug:

[acmavm]

7. I am sick of these people collecting a paycheck while we

wallow in the sink hole that bush** has turned this country into. (excuse the preposition please) I cannot believe this shit. These people have it made. Travel constantly, all their damn expenses paid for, great health insurance and benefits, nice salary, perks up the gump stump, and they NEVER HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.

I WANT THAT KIND OF DEAL TOO!!!

8. It's simple.

Our troops deserve all they need AND MORE.

We sent them into battle. We owe them. It's that simple.

[Ian David]

9. Why would anyone care what Bob Dole has to say? n/t

[twilight_sailing]

10. "if the executive branch would exercise a little leadership"

That is all it takes.

Our boys and girls deserve the best. Period.

[annabanana]

11. No one ever expected that we'd want an EXECUTIVE branch

to do that leadership thing.

sheesh

[twilight_sailing]

12. It's enough to make an ugly old man cry.

Damn it, we have been treating our kids like shit for years. It's a recorded fact.


Damn. Damn, damn, damn. These are our kids. We sent them to war. Damn.

[walldude]

13. It'll get filed with the Iraq Study Group Report

and the 9/11 Commission report.
