Alan Simpson Invokes 'Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg' In Scolding Fears Of Cuts To Social Security

Alan Simpson, co-chairman of President Barack Obama's debt commission, furthered his penchant for colorful commentary Monday when he unleashed a rambling diatribe targeting what he characterized as a generation of disrespectful youth and their confused grandparents.

"This is a fakery," the former Wyoming senator said on Fox News, referring to retirement-age Americans expressing fears about having Social Security funds slashed. "If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that -- I think, you know, grandchildren now don't write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they're walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don't like them!"

Simpson has been a proponent of considering reforms to entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in the effort to reduce the deficit, suggestions that so far appear to have been ignored in the Obama administration's budget proposals.

In February, Simpson exhibited his flair for the dramatic when he called the White House's spending cut effort a "sparrow belch in the midst of the typhoon." The deficit, he later said, was "a stink bomb in the garden party and it’s never going to go away.”

The debt commission co-chairman also came under heavy fire last year after it was revealed that he had referred to the nation as "a milk cow with 310 million tits" in an email to the executive director of the Older Women's League.

Another worthless appointment. You mean the President could not find a real budget adviser?

He's the exemplar for cranky old coots. Let's all stop taking him seriously, okay?

I think Snoop Dogg and Eminem just got pwned from the Senator from the great State of Dementia.

There he goes again, a taxpayer-made multi-millionaire, trying to slash and hack Social Security for the neediest Seniors!

Good point.
Think we can still get our money back?
Or does the obvious fact that he's [way] past his "sell-by date" mean we're stuck with him?
(And aren't you glad I've got just a tiny bit more self-control than Sarah!, and didn't refer to his "expiration date"? Oh, wait...)
And while we're at it, can somebody tell me again why Obama picked this walking parody, this poorly-rendered cartoon character to run the "let's-demolish-the-vestiges-of-our-middle-class-even-faster" commission?
And why I should feel obligated to work for, donate to, support, or even vote for anyone who would do that to us, hmm?
And no, do not even think of trying to tell me the Publicans are "even worse."
The very best thing to happen these past two years was the Publican rout of the Dem's. Because now even the infamous "lo-info" voters are starting to understand -- finally! -- what the Publicans are really all about, and what they'll do to us if they're cut free of even the token (heh) pushback from even the token (heh) Dem presence currently cowering under their desks in DC.
Hell, let 'em take both the Senate and the White House next year. If even GWB & Cheney weren't bad enough to make Publicans toxic for the next two generations, maybe America just needs a higher dosage.

It's funny, and he's right. Kids today have had everything given to them. And, it shows in pop culture. There was just a bad batch. The people 18 to 26 years-old now are the problem. Just a bad batch.

Someone may cart Simpson off to an old folks home. His ideas on the budget did not pass even in his committee, but he rushes out and drops it on us like a republican 'bomb'. Now he is trying to bully people into accepting it by making fun of our children and us. He doesn't have a clue.

Dear Mr. Simpson.

Their names are Calvin Broadus, Jr. and Marshall Mathers III. They have a combined net worth close to a quarter of a Billion dollars. They arrived on the scene 20 and 15 years ago, respectively, which means a big chunk of their listeners are fully grown now. Well past the knucklehead cap and pants on the ground stage (and they're looking for jobs, too).

You are one of the few living Republicans with anything approaching a moderate view of anything and I hate to see you reduce yourself to a caricature. Please seek the services of a good gerontologist. I'll get off your lawn now.

Alan Simpson should be removed from his high paying co-chairman job and giving the janitor's job for the parking garage at the White House. Make it part time with no benefits, a waitress wage, split his tips, and maybe with a little bit of luck they will bulldoze his house by accident for a neighbor's foreclosure. Let that happen when they just cancelled his house insurance. This guy has no NEED to be in a position for the people who do NEED.
