Humor helps Democrats skewer GOP

Four words seldom heard in the same sentence — ‘Congressman Frank Pallone' and ‘funny' — were the chief topic of the New Jersey delegation breakfast chatter Tuesday. “I really wanted to talk primarily about myself this morning,” he began,Despite the fact that the sport of cycling has been marred in recent decades by widespread reports of blood doping and steroid useSAXO BANK Cycling explaining he was channeling his “inner Christie.”

Still in character, Pallone referred to a recent event in which a reporter wanted to ask a question not related to the subject of Gov. Christie's press conference. “I just want the reporters to know,UA mascot uniform costume get an update .” deadpanned Pallone, “that I'm only going to talk about the Jersey Shore and I'm going to talk about health care, and if you want to raise any other subject or ask me any other question, I'm going to say you're an idiot.”

Reporters in the room took a second look as if to seek reassurance that really was Pallone up there and not a look-alike doing a clever stage act.

Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, like Christie a former prosecutor, was the first Democrat elected governor of Connecticut in 20 years. He has a rapid-fire Christie-style delivery and used it to throw a punch at the Republican gut, saying it wasn't a Republican convention last week in Tampa; it was a Tea Party convention — they invited a few Republicans.

“They don't want to do things for America, they want to do things to America.” He said the party would take away women's rights to make decisions about themselves, even if they're raped. In rapid succession he said “They want to do away with …” and ticked off a long list that included Medicare as we know it, Medicaid and food stamps.

“If we don't elect Barack Obama you will not recognize this country in four years. We gotta be somebody. We gotta stand for something.”

Interrupted by applause numerous times, Malloy's job was to get the troops excited. He did that and then some. “Get those batteries recharged and go back and fight place after place.Over buy moncler jackets grey one half from the deaths occurred from the north from the say.” After New Jersey political offices are secured,Christmas Costume for Halloween Now Expanded at Das Cheap . he told them, go next door to Pennsylvania where “they are trying to take this election away” by changing election laws so that blacks, Hispanics and the elderly will be disenfranchised.

President Barack Obama, he said, believed Republicans were people of good will and from the time he got into office “they were more than willing to keep the car in the ditch” if it would mean Obama was not reelected. It won't work, he said, Obama will be one of the great second-term presidents.

Rep. Rob Andrews used humor as well while talking about Democrats' being inclusive. He noted it was the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking and compared that disaster to the Republicans.

“They learned exactly the wrong lesson. They think if they had only rescued all the people in the first class cabins everything would have just been fine. If they had just had enough lifeboats for people in the smoking jackets and tuxedos it all would have worked out just fine. We know better. We know the voyage is not a success unless everybody makes it to the other side. You rescue all the passengers on the ship and you rescue the cooks and the people working in the boiler rooms.”
