Trustfunder punk who’s never done a day’s work in your life, what is wrong with you people? Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) said yesterday, “Look, this is a ‘Braveheart’ moment. You, Mr. Speaker, are our William Wallace. Let’s rush to the fight.”
The “fight,” in this case, was blocking a middle-class tax cut and unemployment benefits a few days before Christmas.
House Republicans, on the eve of Tuesday’s vote denying tax relief to 160 million Americans, huddled in a conference room in the Capitol basement for more than two hours…. Turns out they were talking Monday night about their favorite scenes from “Braveheart.” About 10 House Republicans went to the microphones to share their memories of the Mel Gibson film, Republican sources told my Post colleagues Paul Kane and Rosalind Helderman.
Have you ever watched ‘Braveheart’ to the end? William Wallace was drawn and quartered. For Treason. Fastened to a hurdle and drawn by horse to the place of execution, hanged, emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded, quartered (cut into four pieces), and his remains prominently displayed arround the country.
