Title: Arrogent Politicians and here's some proof. Post by: CheezeFlixz on November 09, 2007, 11:02:05 PM Well I don't want to clutter up the other thread with off topics post ...
But this is part of a transcript from the Glenn Beck show 11-08-07 This is from an interview between GLENN BECK, SHERIFF RICK FLORES, WEBB COUNTY, TX. and REP. HENRY CUELLAR (D), TEXAS Quote FLORES: OK. I need to say one -- I need to say one thing, Glenn. BECK: OK. FLORES: I want to ask the congressman, who is he representing, President Calderon or his district here in Laredo, Texas, where we haven`t received any resources at the local level to be able to combat the problems on the border? CUELLAR: Well, first of all, let me say this, Mr. Sheriff, what we`re looking at is you have got more money than you`ve ever gotten in the past, and we`ve got to keep in mind that the border will be patrolled by the Border Patrol and by the federal agencies. We will work with the local law enforcement, and we represent, but your job is to be a county sheriff, not a U.S. congressman, which is a big difference. My job is to look at the big picture. Your job is to look at the smaller picture. And I will do my job as long as you do your job. BECK: Boy, Congressman, I don`t think I have ever. FLORES: I`d like to find out how much money has a congressman allocated to our county. How much money have you allocated for border security for Webb County or from the counties from Brownsville all the way to California? How much money have they allocated for border security? Nothing. They've allocated money for. BECK: Congressman, I've got to get to the hostages. Guys, I have to tell you, Congressman, shame on you for that response. That was the most belittling response I have ever heard. Shame on you.

If you are in Texas and see this guy, smack him for me.

Post by: Jack on November 12, 2007, 11:57:24 AM I've seen a lot of politicians that left me with the impression that they would have no problem whatsoever with people addressing them as "Your Lordship" and perhaps getting down on one knee in their presence. I suppose when it comes to pompous asses, politics is a natural magnet.
