So, 3.000 miles away, some important people go on and on about what could be a crazy city of Las Vegas and Nevada’s elected officials are … Bitter?

Tyson tiger in the bathroom, tooth loss, or explained anywhere in the room, but the hangover GSA has to be one of the funniest stories without intention to meet occasionally with politicians Nevada play their turns in the perfect comedy.

“The personal attacks in Las Vegas for nothing and have the potential to affect 370,000 employees and their families associated with the No. 1 industry in Southern Nevada,” he snorted Mayor Carolyn Goodman When the scandal of 823,000 dollars of spending spree broke a few weeks ago, doing everything Madeline Kahn.

And this week, Congressman-elect Dina Titus, channeling Goldie Hawn, perhaps, he thundered: “President Obama has acted swiftly to punish those responsible for this apparent misuse of tax dollars, But these debates are nothing more. an attac k in Las Vegas. Republicans in Washington should stop using Las Vegas as hitting the bag to get cheap political points and start working to put Americans back to working. “

We also had Kelvin Atkinson, who happens to chair the Assembly Committee on Commerce, recruited by Democrats to force up the rage for Bill Cosby:” These discussions are just a cheap political trick designed to embarrass Las Vegas, Washington Republicans are playing to the camera and go under a bus to Las Vegas in the process of U.S. President Barack Obama .. was right to dismiss people who oversaw the misuse of tax money and should be commended for that, but Republicans are just using Las Vegas as a support to the owners. “

I need self-esteem when people take a holiday in Las Vegas But this should not be applied to politicians, too.

Leave the majority of the Senate Harry Reid, leader, usually the Robin Williams of the delegation, with the aim of providing some sense, saying: “The Supervisory Authority has nothing to do with Las Vegas has everything to do with stupidity, lack of health. Reason. ”

Yes, spending almost a million dollars of taxpayers’ money to the convention government that are mind readers, hot beds and exercise bike creation is insensitive. But it is also … great job. Especially during the recession.

which does not lend itself to a debate in Congress, where Republicans bloviators trying to sound intelligent by different riffs on “what happens here stays here” and offend the Democrats are conducting hearings.

So roll nerd head pleaded the fifth (!) And everyone from the lowliest congressman Obama looking for a title, anger , and shock … wishing they were parties to the GSA.

People, really ridiculous about this “scandal”.

The Republicans are riding their horses have a high morale is a bit much offended, as if Obama GSA, which is something endemic in this administration that caused this uproar. And now, in directing their horrible “personal attacks” and the poor old Las Vegas.

The Democrats can not simply shrugged this option, you have to do is suggest that partisan Republicans hate the sin city, as if suddenly became the hero of “Memento” and forget that Obama is not (and forgivable that exaggerated influence of the amplifier Goodman), but twice (not forgivable as amnesia presidential accepted disease) called discourage travel to Las Vegas here at the height of the recession . I wrote about it several times, including here and here.

However, as was the ridiculously exaggerated response to those comments, and Obama is running, the sha meless exploitation of workers by the Republican Party, I think the Democrats are not too far. And, as the roll call Meredith Shiner remembers all the history this week, Reid was trying to contain the damage caused by the statements of Obama, who asked government agencies to come and enjoy gifts of sin Las Vegas. Now Reid simply stopped people behave badly here.

I told you it can be fun.

Needless to say it is useless to ask both sides to stop the kabuki – I can read a calendar. But maybe our elected officials defense can not stop that this story has nothing to do with Las Vegas.

It has everything to do with Las Vegas. This is where we want everyone, including government agencies, after a lot of money and act irresponsibly. What if people come here?

The reason why the president called on the city name is the same reason, the GSA came here. When you think of the place people go to have a good time, but who determines that, of Las Vegas comes to mind < /p>

I just hope that nobody in Congress show that there are prostitutes on the Strip or in some teen clubs or night of adultery. However, it would be shameful.
