Rep. Allen West (R-FL): Today’s “Rodney Dangerfield” Award Winner

 
Congratulations to….
 
Rep. Allen West
Today’s “Rodney Dangerfield” Award Winner
 
In November 2008, Allen West succeeded in duping the voters the greater Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach area into electing his as a U.S. Congressman for the 22nd District.
 
In an ongoing attempt to forever cement his status as Florida’s preeminent standup comedian, Rep. Allen West came up with another whopper when questioned about America’s dissatisfaction with Congress.
 
On Dec 15 Felicia Sonmez of the Washington Post reported that Rodney said:
 
“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine.”
 
Rodney’s answer was in response to a Pew Poll released on Dec 15 which found that voters are more likely to blame Republicans 40%) for Washington’s inaction than Democrats (23%).
 
This isn’t the first time that Rodney the Comic attempted to prove his bona fides as one of America’s most unaccomplished standup comedians. In the past, Rodney has put forth the following one-liners in regards to US Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL):
  • She’s the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House (mirror, mirror on the wall!)
  • She’s not a lady (and neither are you Allen!)
It appears as though the voters in the greater Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach area are enamored by the comedic attributes of Allen “The Comic” West.
 
Congrats Allen; keep up the good work! We should let everyone know of your amazing record as an aspiring standup comedian; you are far too humble.
