Rehberg’s Top Accomplishment Lost in the Cushions of Bureaucracy
Reading about Dennis Rehberg’s latest attempt to earn headlines over a plastic statue of Jesus on a ski hill got me thinking about his other big accomplishment in Congress: His palladium coin law.
Rehberg is so proud of his law, he listed it as his top accomplishment during last month’s debate in Big Sky (video). If you haven’t heard about palladium, it’s a metal found in only a few places on Earth—including Montana. And if you haven’t heard about Rehberg’s palladium coin law, it requires the government to study the possibility of minting a coin made out of pure palladium.
That’s it. It’s not a law to actually make a coin. It’s a law to study the possibility of making a coin. Specifically, to see if there’s “adequate demand for palladium bullion coins produced by the United States Mint.”
Sure, who doesn’t want a nice palladium coin to spend on gumballs hang over your fireplace put in your coin drawer? But seriously, what ever happened to Rehberg’s law?
Turns out, nothing. Rehberg’s beloved palladium coin study never even happened. According to the good folks over at CoinWorld.com, a $49,000 contract was awarded to a British firm to study the feasibility of minting a palladium coin. But alas, that firm was sponsored by the palladium industry, so the contract was cancelled due to a conflict of interest. And the rest is history.
With Rehberg’s top accomplishment lost between the cushions of bureaucracy, no wonder he’s turning back to Ski Bum Jesus.
IT’S JUNIOR HIGH DOPEY REEBURP AGAIN! Here we are, choosing up teams for the big game. The captains are at the ready, eyeing the choices. Of course, the team with first pick is gonna choose the best players. And Dopey figures he’s got first pick. So, whom does he do?
DOPEY PICKS JAYSUS!…… AGAIN!
bwhahahahahahahhahahahaa!
What a friggin’ DUMBASS this Palinesque little reetard is! Come ON, Dopey. You DON’T get’ta pick Jesus EVERY time dude! Grow UP, Dopey, and grow a set! Stop insulting us with your ignorance! Stand up and DEBATE, dink! But BTW, if you DO decide to debate again, you’d BETTER bring your little plastic Jesus, ’cause your gonna NEED Deevine help, loser!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Moderator: “Mr. Reeburp, would you like to use your lifeline on this question?”
Dopey: “Yes, sir I would. I’d like to call on JAYSUS”!
bwhahhahahahahahahahhahahahaaaa!
Too funny.
But seriously, yet ANOTHER “listening tour” for Jesus??? And here Jesus thought he was tortured by Pilate! Pilate ain’t got NUTHIN’ on Dopey Reeburp! My GOD this man is cartoonish! I can’t WAIT for Col. Klink V. DumbSchmit to come out in support for this latest listening session! You just know he will!
Denny’s just like Rush, a fraud

This is what we got for 12 years in Congress? I want my money back. No wonder Rehberg’s viewed as a joke in D.C.
How “bout Jon’s Broder Crossing to Nowhere?
I was going to say that if someone just photoshopped a coin in there we’d have a pictorial of Rehberg’d resume. Then I remembered that there is no coin so, yeah, his picture is complete.
Several countries mint palladium coins. You can buy one here if you want: http://bit.ly/NqP8oh
So, what you’re saying is that the bill wasn’t even needed. Sheesh. These coins are pretty cool actually.
Platinim coins worth $600 were given by the governor to people who won his money saving idea contests. I can see something like that being cool, both for the value and because it’s more an award from the governor than a coin. I guess Rehberg thinks a $600 coin-is useful as pocket change for a guy like him.
Rehberg, US House vote to scorch more earth by erasing oversight:

This bill goes hand in glove with the 100 mile border protection bill. Example: a national emergency is declared due to a lack of some mineral and Glacier Park and the Bob get mined by Homeland Security.
You liberal socialists just don’t get it. Denny is proud of having no achievements in Congress. Why? Because Congress is GOVERNMENT. And we hard drinking Montanans don’t need MORE government, we want LESS government.
No accomplishments in Congress = No growth of government.
Denny asked EPA to stop their non-existent drones from spying on farmers and ranchers, and guess what? Today, those non-existent drones are no more.
That’s a pretty big accomplishment.
If Denny can eliminate the Federal Highway Administration, someday we might be able to drink and drive again. Think about THAT.
I like this. No Department of Edumacation, and no one has to go to school anymore. That’s cool. And, no Department of Labor means we won’t have to work anymore. Doggam, this is righteous. Vote DO-Nothing Denny! It’s like, ya’ know, fight for your right to PARTAY!
Yep. The real deal. A good read. Check it out.

schweitzer is 6’2″/205# and they compare him to that fat slob christie?
On the other hand, Tester had a Small Business Opportunity Workshop here in the Bozone today. It was mostly about entrepreneurs securing operating capital, everything from “angel” investors to IPO’s.
It was very well attended, & had some very good presentations.
Alas, I skipped the afternoon sessions, perhaps luckily as I just finished baling and picking hay. Except I’ve often said haying is possibly the least productive use of time of anything I do! Although right now I think it was the right decision. It would appear the rainy season has returned!

Okay I am done with political cartoons for the weekend on Rehberg, I got some housework to do….

Just my opinion, but Rehberg hasn’t the backbone or even near the nobility to be a wolf. It doesn’t lend itself to photoshop, but some jellyfish which can feed off of carbon waste breakdown is much more applicable.
I was looking for protozoans first but none lent to his face very well. LOL
Dont worry I noticed the spelling error and took care of it. This was just the proof anyway!
I’m sorry for the Veterans, but didn’t we do a land-swap with the USFS months ago and resolve this issue? Lord, all this over a crappy, concrete statue.
Jesus ends up in a bra, beads and goggles half the ski/snowboard season anyway. Where’s the “respeck?”
JAYsus in a bra???? And goggles?? And BEADS???? Dopey, where’s the national GUARD, dufus??
Dopey could create JOBS by providin’ Jaysus with a round the clock ceremonial guard! Wacha WAITIN’ fer, Dopey?
Dopey’s bringin’ in WHOM???? Randy forbes, chairman of the congressional PRAYER caucus?? WTF is THAT??? I din’t even KNOW that we had a prayer caucus? WTF does a prayer caucus do, other than respond to dumbazzes like Dopey Reeburp who find JAYSUS in a bra and hippie beads, freezin’ his holy AZZ off on a ski hill, bein’ threatened with eviction by the hated federal gubmint!

Jesus saves, and Dopey saves Jesus. But can Jesus save DOPEY? THAT is the question!
Gawd I would love to go just to see the assorted reetards that would gather for such an occassion. Talk about not having a LIFE!
But I REALLY wish that some of the men I knew from the Tenth Mountain Division were still around to attend. They would set both Dopey AND the Nits of Columbus straight! They didn’t cotton to reetards!
