We’re not saying definitively that Maxine Waters is going to assault Lloyd Blankfein. What we are saying is that there’s mounting evidence she’s moving in that direction. Up to this point, M Dubs has kept her feelings for the Masters of the Universe confined to five minute sound bites of batshit manifest during Congressional hearings, and notes left on the hood of LB’s car. News out of the Hill last night, however, that she got up in the grill of and proceeded to lay her mitts on House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, after he shot down a $1 million earmark request, makes us think she’s finished keeping her hands to herself professionally.
The pair were seen shouting at each other and had to be separated by members — who were gathered on the floor casting final votes before heading off to a party at the White House.
Waters, according a Democratic staffer familiar with the situation, approached Obey to ask him to fund one of her longstanding earmarks, the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.
Obey — who irked Waters a few weeks back by banning “Monuments to me” funding projects named after the politicians that earmark them — told her no, emphatically enough to be heard across the chamber.
“I’m not going to approve that earmark!” Obey shouted.
The two veteran Democrats — each pugnacious and 71 years old — began shouting, with the L.A. area-Congresswoman following Obey around the chamber, reportedly suggesting he channel the vocational money through a local school district.
At some point, they collided, witnesses say, with one Obey ally claiming the lean Waters “tried to shove” the stout Obey.
This is what she did to a colleague. Imagine (and quake in fear over) what she’d cook up for Enemy Number One.
‘Jew Boys’ and ‘cook up?’ Yikes, Bess.
oh god, fuck off, miami.
Maxine I wanna say something. I’m gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don’t, send it right back. I want to be on you.

I would like to offer you an excellent opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a brand new company that is poised to rule the world, Nigaz.

Slow news day- this minor skirmish is nothing compared to the duels and other brawls on Capitol hill in the 19th and 20th century- it’s an American tradition..
@22
she never went there and thiks it probably are evil capitalist institutions
Maybe it does take a madwoman/madman to shake down the Masters. However, their ilk will likely just pop up somewhere else as a non publicly-traded entity.
She’s a black liberal woman. She can do pretty much anything. If she were a lesbian too then she could get away with murder.
@25 people who post “slow news day” comments as though they’re insightful and/or biting commentary should kill themselves, asap.
@27 nice
I consider electing her a hate crime. JK, JK, I kid because I love. . .
I guess things don’t look good for my “Mark Sanford Center for the Study of Idiot Dickheads”??

Ohfock, SC
@ mark– i’ll give you the money for that fine sounding institution.
Maxine Waters and Pelusi are what’s wrong w/ American politics. If Clarence Thomas acted the way Waters does then democrats would be asking for his head. But since Waters an angry liberal black woman she can do whatever she wants.
You can’t take taxpayer money and give it to yourself. Oh wait.

If you think about it though, a Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center is perfect. She’s a crazy bitch, and yet still employed by the voters of L.A.

It would have required the Spanish Hapsburgs at least two generations of incestuous conjugation to produce either David Obey or Maxine Waters.
If you guys are going to write the word “LIBERAL” please put it in all caps per the “Talking Points” you have all received. Thanks!

36 Why would you defend Clarence Thomas? Clearly a very weak Supreme intellectually. It has nothing to do with his views. If you’re going to be conservative do it like Roberts or Alito. He’s therefore not all that different than Maxine. Basically anger and bluster get in the way of facts and interpretation.
Maxine Waters is suing NBC for the misuse of the trademarked names of her right and left fists, Law and Order.
Are we talking about the Clarence Thomas who says it’s ok for schools to strip search kids? That Clarence Thomas?
BTW, she’s not from South Central – she’s from Inglewood. Get your ghettoes right, dumb f…

“At the Maxine Waters Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, we teach you that there’s more to life than being really, really good-looking.”
51 has never read a Clarence Thomas opinion in his or her life. Guaranteed. Even liberal supreme court scholars credit Justice Thomas with being one of the most consistent and principled Justices on the court. For example, see Jeffery Rosen’s articles and research.

So 60, are you saying Thomas didn’t say it was ok to strip search kids at school? Better catch up on the last couple of days…
Clearance Thomas? Are you sure? I thought MJ wrote that one.
There is a difference between finding something is “ok” and finding it does not violation constitutional protections.
What do Macauley Culkin, Webster and TGFD have in common?
