Hey, she said it.
… in the interview, Malkin slammed President Obama’s supporters. “Romney types, of course, are the ones who sign the front of the paycheck, and the Obama types are the one who have spent their entire lives signing the back of them,” she said.
If you watch the video at Steve M’s, it is striking to me that MM and the other Fox “friends” are not even responding to what President Obama actually said.
They sign the damn*d pink slips, mostly.
Favorite characterization of Mittens:
“He looks like the guy who fired your dad.”
Wingnuts need daddy, a powerful authority figure worthy of their worship, and so some rich dude who signs lots of checks – having more-more-than-symbolic power of life or death over the check’s recipient – suffices. She probably also gets a great kick when Donald Trump tells an apprentice “You’re Fired!!!”. Order in her universe is maintained when these wise and powerful men rule, and rule ruthlessly over the hoi polloi, proving their worthiness by their very ruthlessness.
It’s the “Obama types” who made this country as good as it is more than the “Romney types”. Henry Ford started out as an “Obama type”. I wonder if she realized she just insulted the 99 percent.
Hey Maha — sorry, I got nailed with a nasty hack right when I was set to do you a solid. New addy should work, sorry about the timing —
I wonder how many times this shrewish hag* has signed the backs of Wingnut Welfare checks, and how many checks she, herself, has signed the front of, to others?
Besides for household bills, of course, and her marble countertops.
And of course, she pays the illegal alien housekeeper cash – so she doesn’t have to pay FICA taxes on them. Same with the gardener(s).
What a vile and venomous shrewish hag she is.
I guess Karma didn’t teach her any humility by burning her house to the ground, ’til what’s left stinks and smokes like what little soul she has.
Maybe next time…
* My apologies is that’s sexist. It’s the best description of her I can think of. Sorry.
I read at Steve’s blog that Malkin performed her little anti-prole diatribe on Friday morning’s show.
Friday: You know – “Pay Day!”
The morning this shrewish hag, the FOX Morning Zoo crew, and all of rest of they sycophants dependent on Wingnut Welfare, wake-up and check the balances on their accounts to make sure that that weeks d*ck-blowing, testicle massaging, ass-kissing, and sphincter-licking, had been properly rewarded by the people who SEND OUT the electronic checks – they, on the other hand, are the electronic RECIPIENTS of their “Better’s” largess.
What a pack of feckin’ crazy idjits!
FOX News is where “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” would have taken place, if Ken Kesey were writing it now.
“I wonder if she realized she just insulted the 99%”
Well Bonnie, I think the majority of FOX viewers see themselves as an elite group, with special “FOX N’Friends” perks, like that constant “ALERT” that scrolls across the lower right of the screen.
When you’re a member of the club, you see yourself as above the rest.
Malkin was talking about the “scummy little people”, not FOX N’ Friends viewers.
You know, those unwashed liberals who are out to destroy “this once great country”.
(if I hear some blowhard stand up on his soap box and scream that line again I’m gonna barf.)
What happens when there are no more people to sign the back of the checks? Will the people who sign the front of the check ACTUALLY get their hands dirty? NOT in Florida, where its 97 degrees with a humidity wall too thick to cut with a chain saw.
Every check is somebody’s paycheck; and I’ve signed the fronts of plenty.
Malkin expects her audience to be too stupid to realize that the majority of Romney’s income is literally “unearned”, in the form of dividends and interest payments from his various investments which send him checks. So if anyone is signing the backs of checks, it’s Mitt. It’s just that instead of the checks coming from an employer in exchange for showing up at work every day, they are coming from financial clearing houses that are processing various trust payments.
Not that, in this day and age, there are actual checks being signed. Hasn’t MM heard of Direct Deposit?
Yeah, Biggerbox; I have direct deposit (and apparently, direct withdrawal; cuz I never see any money ‘cept for my side job dough).
My dear wife’s boss forget to SIGN HER DAMNED CHECK last week, UGH!!
I told her I’d run it by his place today ‘cuz I know his gate code, she said “pleeze don’t”.
My wife is the only person I know that does not have direct deposit.
I used to work for a woman who refused to get direct deposit because paper checks took three days to clear and she could keep her money longer. She admitted it, and didn’t understand (or care) why we were annoyed about it. We did talk her into giving us our checks at noon on Friday so we could take them to the bank on our lunch break instead of having to wait until Saturday (which was Monday to the banks).
