Joe 'ashtray' Biden on gun control

From Associated Press:

Biden says gun control votes 'only the beginning'
Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday the expected upcoming Senate votes on gun control are only the beginning of the White House's fight.

The fate of gun control legislation is unclear. A vote on a Senate bill, including expanded background checks and harsher penalties for gun trafficking, is expected next month.

The White House also has been pushing for limits on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, but those provisions won't be part of the Senate bill. Instead they are to be offered as amendments, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says they don't have enough support to pass.

"That doesn't mean this is the end of the process. This is the beginning of the process," Biden said during a conference call organized by Mayors Against Illegal Guns pushing for the gun control measures.

"The American people are way ahead of their political leaders," Biden argued. "And we, the president and I and the mayors, intend to stay current with the American people."

And there is nothing in the article calling out Mayor Bloomberg's organization "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" for being corrupt as hell with many of the 'mayors' having criminal records.

Don't believe me? Check this out:

Shiela Dixon, Baltimore, Maryland
Charges: Fraud, perjury, embezzling gift cards meant for the poor; investigated for receiving thousands of dollars in illicit gifts.
Outcome: Awaiting sentencing after being convicted of embezzlement and pleading guilty to perjury.

Eddie Perez, Hartford, CT.
Charges: bribery, fabricating evidence, conspiracy. Arrested a second time, on extortion charges.
Resolution: Awaiting trial.

Gary Becker, Racine, Wisconsin
Charges: Possession of child pornography, showing pornography to a child, sexual assault on a child, enticing children, and lesser felonies
Resolution: Plea of guilty to sexual assault on a child and child enticement. Awaiting sentencing.

Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit, Michigan
Charges: Perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct in office. Later, re-arrested on two counts of felonious assault on officers. Jailed for violating conditions of bond.
Outcome: Guilty plea to two counts of perjury and one of assault on an officer. Sentenced to four months in jail and five years of probation.
Update: on February 3, his former assistant took a plea and offered to cooperate in proving that Kilpatrick was hiding assets to avoid paying restitution.

That is just four of them. There are seven more at the site. All mayors of large cities. All corrupt. These are the people who want to limit our access to guns in violation of the Second Amendment.

The Joe 'ashtray' Comment comes from this new book. From Newsmax:

Roger Ailes: Obama Is 'Lazy,' Biden 'Dumb As an Ashtray'
Fox News chief Roger Ailes says President Barack Obama is "lazy" and claims the commander-in-chief "never worked a day in his life," a controversial new book claims.

Ailes also takes shots at Vice President Joe Biden, saying, "he's as dumb as an ashtray," and at Newt Gingrich, who he says is a "sore loser."

In his upcoming biography, "Roger Ailes: Off Camera," author Zev Chafets writes that Ailes reacted to a crack by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen that Ann Romney, wife of last year's Republican presidential candidate, "never worked a day in her life," with his own blunt opinion of the president.

A bit more:

Ailes, who granted Chafets one-on-one interviews for the biography, also takes the gloves off on Vice President Joe Biden.

"I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray,"  Ailes says.
