Nattering Nabobs of Negativism

As President Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union address tonight, congressional Republicans are promising to respond with what they call their grumpiest faces ever.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) confirmed that the G.O.P. have been practicing in front of mirrors for weeks in the hopes of creating just the right grouchy-face look for the TV cameras.
“Tonight, President Obama is going to lay out his vision for this country,” he said. “We owe it to the American people to look like someone just pissed in our cornflakes.”
For some, the task of looking crabby “is just another day at the office,” said Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), widely viewed by his fellow-Republicans as the reigning sourpuss in Congress.
“It’s a gift I have,” he said. “It’s one of the perks of being a steaming cauldron of spite.”
Perhaps the most sustained performance of sulkiness will fall to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who will be seated behind the President and therefore will be on camera for the entire duration of the address.
“There’s a lot of pressure on me to look sullen for an entire hour, but I’m up to it,” he said. “It helps that I will be in the same room with so many people I despise.”

Yeah. I heard they have been watching tape of the Democrats during the Bush years for pointers.

As opposed to Obamabots like you who walk around with a delighted and semi-befuddled chin-drooling expression that screams "Oh look, Obama has three fingers up my arse".

Sure.
But it transfers pretty well.

You are truly one of the most humorless assholes on this board despite some really stiff competition.

I don't think humorless means what you think it does.

Deep down, layabout, even you know that Obama sucks.
That's not a joke, so don't judge my sense of humor on this post.

You could say that the nattering nabobs of negativism have become the the subserviant sychophants of statism.
My apologies to the late Bill Safire.

I choose my words carefully and spell them correctly. "I say what I mean and mean what I say."
