President Obama To Host Root Beer Summit With Boy Scouts And The SEIU

Posted on August 11th, 2010 by Fingers Malloy

 

As reported exclusively on The Snark Factor, President Obama instructed the Justice Department to sue Boy Scouts International, after several Boy Scouts booed Obama during his speech at the annual Boy Scout Jamboree.

Reaction to this powerful story spread over the Internet like wildfire. But as you know, The Snark Factor will not shy away from controversy. There are new developments regarding the four Boy Scouts that allegedly assaulted an SEIU recruiter at the Jamboree.

To give you background on that part of Scout-gate, here is a blurb from my original post regarding the Boy Scouts gone wild.

The FBI arrested 4 Boy Scouts for allegedly attacking an SEIU recruiter that was at the Jamboree to try to unionize the Boy Scouts. The recruiter is resting comfortably in the hospital and will be named to a position in President Obama’s Cabinet tomorrow.

The White House has announced that President Obama will host a Root Beer Summit on the East Lawn. When the summit will be held is not yet known.

The guest list includes the four Boy Scouts accused in the alleged assault, the SEIU recruiter, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, George Soros, the cast from the hit television show Glee, the 1986 Chicago White Sox, Kathy Griffin, Jared from Subway, Levi Johnston, Joy Behar, Dustin Diamond, Bonnie Franklin and Howard Dean.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs had this to say about the Root Beer Summit;

Let’s face it–this is an excellent opportunity for the White House to bully Boy Scouts International into donating 20 million dollars to a fund that will help the SEIU unionize the Boy Scouts.

Can you imagine, all those little kids with the uniforms and survival skills being in a union? Nothing will stop us, not even Ben Quayle.

Will the lawsuit continue? I will put down my beer and update you as this story develops…

Ben Quayle’s Checklist

Posted on August 10th, 2010 by Fingers Malloy

As many of you know, when it comes to the race for Congress in Arizona District 3 — I am in the tank for Pamela Gorman. Last Thursday was Pamela Gorman Day on FTR Radio — and it was a huge success. Unlike Katie Couric, I like to let you know up front that I’m biased.

She is running against nine other candidates. The most well known of her opponents is Ben Quayle.(son of former V.P. Dan Quayle)

Quayle just recently moved to Arizona. Fortunately, he picked a house in a congressional district that has an open seat. What are the odds?

There has been some play about a Quayle mail piece that had a photo of him with 2 kids in his lap. The impression was left to the casual reader that they are Quayle’s kids, they are not.

From RedState:

Quayle sent out a mail piece of him holding one young child with another in a seat. The caption under it reads, in part, “Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here.”

To be fair, the mail piece does not claim that the kids are Ben’s. But I’m sure that if it were to leave the impression on Arizona voters that the kids are his and that Quayle is a strong family man, his campaign staff would be okay with that.

So to sum up — Ben Quayle just moved to Arizona, got married, adopted a dog and is now running for Congress. Any more politician clichés available?

Get this man some babies to kiss and pass the apple pie! Stat!!!
