PHenry sends in one of those “what was popular on the date of your birth” things, with a bit of a twist.
What was popular the day some of these encrusted politicians, fused molecularly to their chairs, took office?
Steny Hoyer-
The day this moron took office in the house these were the popular things:
-#1 song – Bette Davis Eyes -Kim Carnes
Now he’s just as old as Bette Davis when she died. She was 81, he’s 78.
-#1 movie – The Four Seasons with Carol Burnett and Alan Alda
There’s been about 148 seasons since Hoyer took office.
-This was the latest computer, Model III TRSDOS 1.3, by Radio Shack-
-Dallas was the #1 television show.
The sex symbols on the show are all enrolled in medicaid.
Nancy Pelosi –
#1 song – You Keep Me Hangin’ On – Kim Wilde
Symbolic or what?
#1 movie – Predator
Symbolic or what?
#1 Tv Show – Golden Girls
Symbolic or what?
NY Times story on this day- “Bugging devices in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow are so sophisticated that American intelligence agents do not yet fully understand them, an official said.”
Symbolic or what?
Also in the NY Times-
Gary Hart stayed with Donna Rice on a yacht in Bimini and at his Washington town house, then coldly ended the affair when confronted about it by reporters, according to a friend of Ms. Rice.
Refugee shacks offend neighbors.
News Analysis: When NBC decides whether or not to leave New York City, the company will face basic questions about the value of staying in Manhattan. These may have been obscured by the jousting between Mayor Koch and Donald J. Trump.
Former Wells Fargo employees and associates were charged in an extortion scheme that allowed illegal aliens held at Kennedy International Airport to avoid deportation. Some guards, supervisors and associates were arrested.
The Daily News discrimination case opened a second phase that will conclude with a jury award of damages to four black journalists. The four testified that they had felt humiliated as a result of job discrimination.
Ed Koch: Cut aid to nations that export drugs.
Pat Leahy-
#1 song- Mandy -Barry Manilow
#1 movie – The Towering Inferno
#1 tv show- All in the Family
This is just embarrassing.
Nancy Pelosi needs a visit from another movie character from 1987, the year she took her seat.
Robocop.
Gosh. How young we were then. I still had brown hair, didn’t wear glasses and weighed 30 lbs less.
Term limits would be good for America so we could clear out the antique deadwood cluttering up the House and Senate.
Weeeeee thats my district go maryland
PHenry
All the same but I went down 30 pounds.
😎
Stellar, Fur. Brilliant perspective.
I think Leahy had a part in Bonanza as the obstinate guy thrown through the saloon doors.
@mrhanoverfist
In 1987 I could put my heels against the curb of a two lane road and piss on the opposite curb. Now I can barely clear my shoe tops.
@PHenry, no, never mind. I was going to ask you something, but I realize it must be a guy thing. hehe
Claudia,
It’s a prostate thing
Yeah Claudia. Never mind works best.
@PHenry: Heck, I can STILL put my heels against the curb of a two lane road and piss on the opposite curb.
Just not both at the same time.
😉
Back when I was 17 and thought masterbation was a good thing (TMI?).

Don’t remind me of the Sen. From Maryland steny hoyer that ass is my sen I can’t stand this bitch in Maryland, he will not let go of that seat until he drop dead in Capitol Hill.
Well, I graduated high skrewl during the bicentennial and Hoyer (then just a state senator) spoke at our commencement…. he was a young blowhard then.

@PHenry nanny pelosi face is full of Botox , she is from little Italy Baltimore were of father was in politics and her brother, heck all her family are government workers at one point.
back in around ’79-’80 I was involved in a Workman’s Comp case in PG County, MD. I had to be in court most of the day & one of the earlier cases I had to sit through was a divorce case where Steny was arguing for the divorcee … the judge finally told him to either shut up or lose the case for his client
once a putz, always a putz
P.S. MD has a long history of crooked, warped pols
Debbie Dingell taking over from her husband John Dingell, Jr., who took over from his father John Dingell, Sr.
Kind of like Kennedy’s and Bush’s.
Do you know who is the New Democrat congressman from Monterey California? Jimmy Panetta. Last name sound familiar? Yep. It’s leon’s son. Don’t know a thing about him but I haven’t dug yet.
What a nepotistic swamp DC is.
You decide yourself if the apple falls far from the Panetta tree.

We have the worst most corrupt federal government in existence. The Congo has more responsible government since they’re cannibals. No Federal government at all would be better. None.
We’ve been on the downhill slide since polytics (poly = many, tics = blood sucking parasites) became a profession rather than a civic duty. Term limits are not in the parasites best interests so the only way it will happen is a Convention Of States (Article 5). I for one say it’s long overdue.
