He Owes More Than 310 Million Apologies To Breasts

After placing himself at the top of the always competitive most chauvinist Republican nutcase list yesterday, the "tits" man shows penitence.
Alan Simpson apologized Wednesday for describing Social Security as "a milk cow with 310 million tits!" in an email to OWL executive director Ashley Carson.

Simpson's apology comes as pressure is mounting on the former Wyoming Senate Republican to resign his co-chairmanship of President Obama's deficit commission, which is considering cuts to Social Security.

The National Organization for Women called on him to step down Wednesday. "Alan Simpson is not fit to lead the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform," said NOW President Terry O'Neill in a statement to HuffPost. "The ugliness of his disrespect for women is matched only by his dogged determination to dismantle Social Security by cutting benefits or increasing the retirement age. The National Organization for Women urges President Obama to take a stand on this issue and replace Simpson immediately."

And in a public statement, AARP called Simpson's comment "offensive" and said that it "undermine[s] the serious work of the commission and give[s] us little confidence the commission can fairly look at important programs such as Social Security."
That's nice and all that he realized how big his gaffe was (because deep down inside he isn't sorry), but the bigger issue that should happen is him resigning from Obama's Catffod Commission.

Bernie Sanders and Peter Defazio have asked for his resignation.

Preferably for all rational parties in this whole mess, I just wish the Catfood Commission would all resign from touching a social security program that has no problems what it whatsoever.

In fact, I wish that if they didn't ask like a truly honest deficit commission, then that we abolish Obama's sneaky little operation for good.
