Fox anchor compares taxing AIG bonuses to sexual abuse.
Fox Business Network anchor Dagen McDowell made her case against a new tax on Wall Street bonuses funded by the government by comparing it to sexual abuse.

McDowell: "You don't want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam he's going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the internet."

If they had governors on their mouths, they'd never say a word.

3. these guys have a fixation with sex, don't they?? so do the republicans.
repression. that has to be it. i don't agree with taxing the bonuses. but the terminology these clowns use to justify their so called ideas is ridiculous.

4. Wingnuts are absolutely *obsessed* with sex.
I've never seen anything like it. Look at the issues that the "social conservatives" (i.e. the 20%ers) bring up all the time:

* Abortion
* Gay marriage
* Abstinence-only sex education
* Ban birth control
* Stem-cell research
* etc., etc., etc.

Every single right-wing hot-button social issue concerns sex, pregnancy, and/or childbirth! Is this pelvic fixation something that is hardwired into wingnuts' DNA or what? With so much to be concerned with in the world, their primary focus is sex, sex, and more sex.

:shrug:

Members of the republican "leadership" are so uncomfortable with their own sexuality that they try to suppress it entirely. But, it turns out you can't do that. So, we get Foley chasing underage male pages around Capitol Hill, we get Vitter in diapers with a hooker, we get Craig trolling for anonymous gay sex in a public restroom (and remaining in the Senate afterwards!) and on and on and on.

I'm not a psychologist, and I don't play one on discussion boards. But you don't need a college degree to see that these right-wingers are sick, sick, sick in the head.

6. It Was More Literal During The Boooosh Regime...
Thanks to Cheney, the government could break into your house in the middle of the night...no warrant needed then throw you in jail for years without being charged. But that doesn't count...Faux made money and Wall Street ran rampant.

Now that there's a call for accountabliity and responsibility, THAT is what Faux and the rushpublicans fear the most.

8. Posted at the bottom of their News Site
I think that's where the sexual abuse is. On their webpage at the bottom, Pop Tarts, Stars undressed, for a SERIOUS NEWS organization they sure have a pre-occupation with all things related to the objectification of women! Just look at their anchors, Porno Queens in Suits!!!!
