Ricky Ricardo always seemed so frustrated with his wife Lucy during her many madcap meanderings. In almost every TV show, somewhere along the way Ricky, exasperated, would say "...you need some 'splaining Lucy..."
Today after hearing about a supposed affair between Herman Cain and his on going 13 year affair with girlfriend Ginger, the self proclaimed spokesperson for what truly is Christian and Christ like, Mike Huckabee, came forward to pronounce his God like revelations.
It seemed to Mr. (holier than thou) Huckabee that a supposed consensual relationship between two adults is more evil and worth dropping out of the race then a non consensual sexual abuse from one aggressive man to another submissive woman. Somehow in Mr. (closer to God then thee) Huckabee a woman experiencing abuse of any kind is no big deal, but a woman embracing the sexual advances of a man is a sin.
I as a man am confused, if I was a woman I would be furious. Mr. Huckabee, you need some ‘splaining.
Today, we hear that the Republicans are furious that they are being kept to their promises. It seems when the Super Duper, we will will fix the ills of this nation special committee was formed, the promise made was that if the brightest bulbs selected to sit on this extra special committee to deal with deficit reduction could not find consensus then some triggers would take place to begin the process of lowering our deficit. The triggers would include cut backs of the social net programs such as social security, medicare and military spending.
Thanksgiving Day has come and gone the deadline for the extra special, we will cure the common cold committee and now the triggers are expected to commence.
But wait, the Republican politicians want to renege on cutting anything that has to do with the military. They are happy to stop providing with adequate retirement money, they are pleased as punch to avoid paying for any medical needs of the public, and they sure as hell think its fine and dandy to stop feeding the hungry. The Republicans insist we must be able to protect this country from any foreign invasion. But I ask if we have poor, hungry, sick Americans what the hell use is saving our country from the enemy from afar when the enemy within will cause the downfall and destruction?
Republican lawmakers you have some ‘splaining to do insisting a bloated military budget takes priority from the bloated stomachs, bloated debt, and bloated future of the citizens of this nation.
The Republican/Tea Party voters, the anti Romney gang, the ones who once loved Michelle, then Rick and then Herman are now embracing Newt. These self proclaimed “values” voters want a true Conservative as their president, and look for the candidate who can hate better, fabricate more, and double talk like the best snake salesman around. (They somehow make a distinction between double talk being good but flip flopping being bad).
Now it seems that Newtie is the MAN... despite his two adulterous affairs while married,... despite his wheeling and dealing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, making at least three million dollars off of the tax payer,... despite his linty of ethics charges as Speaker of the House,... despite his commercial with Nancy Pelosi stating climate change is mad made.
It seems Newtie is now mister popular with a block of voters who seem to lay claim to Christian values, Conservative ethics, and conclude that both the New Testament and the Constitution are the same document. All of Newties indiscretions are washed away as if he was baptized once again. All of Newties immoral, unethical mean and tempestuous behaviors are okay.
Well core Republicans you have some ‘splaining to do as to just how hypocritical and ignorant you must be to make Newt your first choice. Do you all really hate the rest of us that much that you now support this vile,lying, arrogant self serving individual?
At least when Ricky asked Lucy to ‘splain what just happened, the comedy writers on the show provided a few laugh lines for Lucy’s retort, and the director told Lucy to showcase her wide beautiful smile. The audience laughed and looked forward to the next episode knowing the trouble that would ensue, but somehow Ricky would save the day and it all would end happily ever after.
Somehow with each new episode of some ‘splaining to do in our current day life there are no laugh lines or happily ever after. Wouldn’t it be nice if the voters could begin to provide some of their own ‘spalining and change the dialogue to include less ‘splaining and more sense?
