A few days ago I called the office of United States Congresswoman Diane Watson, who represents me and the other residents of the 33rd Congressional District here in the metro Los Angeles area. I called Rep. Watson to encourage her to vote against renewing the Bush tax cuts for millionaires.

Since Rep. Watson was one of only 148 members of the House courageous enough, smart enough and as committed to the well-being of the common man enough to vote against this obscene affront to the concept of fucking “fairness” in this country, I wanted to thank her publicly. Rep. Watson will be retiring at the end of the 111th Congress and I want her to know how incredibly grateful I have been to have someone who I tend to agree with 100% of the time, representing my interests in Washington. For me, the match between constituent (that would be me) and Representative has it has never been better (and I’ve always lived in areas leaning heavily toward liberal politics). I will be sorry indeed to see Congresswoman Diane Watson retire, but wish her the very best.

Ironically, I clipped the following text from Michelle Malkin’s blog. She prefaced this by calling Diane Watson a “racist.” I’m a 45-year-old white male, so if I agree 100% with this, would that negate Malkini’s idiotic charge of racism? This took guts to say in this political climate!

WATSON: You might have heard their philosophical leader. I think his name is Rush Limbaugh. And he said early on, “I hope that he fails.”
Do you know what that means? If the president, your commander-in-chief, fails, America fails.

Now, when a senator says that this will be his Waterloo, and we all know what happened at Waterloo, then we have him and he fails. Do we want a failed state called the United States?

And remember: They are spreading fear and they are trying to see that the first president that looks likes me fails.
Now just understand what’s at the bottom line.

And you know we just got, 48 hours ago, we just go back, we were in Beijing, China, Hong Kong, China, we were in Taiwan, we were in Guam, we were all over the Far East.

I just want you to know: People look at the United States as a country that has changed its way and has elected someone from Kenya and Kansas, I’ll put it like that.

And they’re saying, “We thought you would never do that.”

So we don’t want to have this young man, and he just turned 48 — we want him to succeed, because when he succeeds, we regain our status. We regain our status.

It was just mentioned to me by our esteemed speaker, “Did anyone say anything about the Cuban health system?”

And lemme tell ya, before you say “Oh, it’s a commu–”, you need to go down there and see what Fidel Castro put in place. And I want you to know, now, you can think whatever you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met. [APPLAUSE]

And you know, the Cuban revolution that kicked out the wealthy, Che Guevara did that, and then, after they took over, they went out among the population to find someone who could lead this new nation, and they found…well, just leave it there (laughs), an attorney by the name of Fidel Castro…
