Rep. Don Young (R-AK) Defends His Coconut Road Earmark

[JonnyMacJay]

I was hoping he was having a stroke! but nah...

[candortube]

Changing "Jacksonville" to Jacksonville, FL" is not shifting $10 million dollars from a place that was voted for to what was not voted against. Local officials voted against what Don Young did, lying to congress should be illegal.

He went to a community college to get an associate's degree so he could get a bachelor's degree from Chico State, in California, but he's not the first politician to be "misunderestimated" (word coined by George Bush, Jr, former US President).

[DRAGON76]

is this the best that alaska could do?.........how did this guy get into office?

[guitmarc54]

is this guy speaking american english...?

[felisanjames]

Accuations and Induendos??? Motivications??? And this guy is in the US Congress?

[adknerr]

He's either borderline illiterate or it's his tell when he's flat-faced lying.

[Sinistertino]

this guy's priceless

[ogjimkenobi]

This guy is motivicating me to want to travelate to his home state so that I may witnessificate this level of stupidity with my very own eyes.

[akwigfall]

In the voice of Scooby Doo, "Rurrrrrh, Shaggy...is that a word?"

[stealth63]

Carnological? Induendo? Motivication? Is this guy on medication, or is he just trying to sound like his hero, George?

[ftblplyaf53]

The community never wanted coconut road. The community wanted to send the money back. If Don Young gets re-elected then I have lost all respect for Alaska.

[foolchild0]

I lost it years ago. Stevens, Murkowski, and Young were all embarrassments, and the complacent people who allowed them to win elections are the reason why I left.

[babyleon]

"Currenological", "induendo", "motivication" (two times) and "accuations"? If he speaks gibberish, maybe his own words can't be used against him?

[chrisbotron]

haha

[fourtyfrets]

hehe.

motivications.

[enemigosocultos]

"Donney eat your coconuts, honey. it's good for you..." "Mama, I want bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon.." "NOW" "Boo hoo hoo hoo"

LOL :)

[appeals2me]

"Motivication'! Is that a real word?! Is he drunk, stupid, or just speaking an Alaskan dialect?

[gnarlyerik]

Darn! I didn't hear ONE SINGLE WORD about the $40,000 in campaign contribution from the developers who would benefit from this earmark.

Darn again! Neither did I hear ONE SINGLE WORD on the over million dollars ol' Donnie has already spent in 'preemptive legal fees'..

What I DID HEAR was a threat about a 'Slippery, Slippery Slope' which apparently means he'll spill the beans on some of his House colleagues.

Can that be true? Oh please, please God! Let the good times roll!

[appeals2me]

So you're saying he's a corrupt, disingenuous and pompously arrogant politician? Yikes, I thought that breed was an endangered species. Perhaps we should removed their protected status.

[JerTheAraluan]

Don Young is comedy gold.

[snarkwaupaca]

Every time I sell my soul to the Devil and I want to back out I always sound like this.

[endo1ver]

I am spending as much money as I can just like the rest of Congress. Please get off my back, I will drive this country into total bankrupsy if you will just leave me alone.

[jsfumato]

Step 1. We admitted the we were powerless over Alcohol And that our lives had become unmanageable

[jaekent]

This government needs to cleaned up .. hang 'em high. Just the first few anyways .. the others will fall into line. Either that or we could all just wait around until they bankrupt the country and put us all into WW3 with all this Iran talk and sending an another aircraft carrier into the gulf.

[babyrne]

Its not just the induendo and motivications, in the part of the speech leading up to this clip he mis-named Interstate 75 as I-95 at least 6 times.

[L0vethehater]

Vodka for breakfeast is bad for you Don no matter what your motifications are.

[thelegendistrue]

He sounds drunk to me too.

[maikai86]

motifications! lol!

[intarwebzz]

oh weird, modification is a real word...who knew?

[MooseOfReason]

He's just pronouncing it the wrong way.

[KataVideo]

you have to get at least a 5-grade education to use $10 words like "motivications". these alaska republificants sure know good talking.

[Richardgwm]

Bill Clinton raised taxes and the $290 billion annual budget deficit turned into a $236 billion surplus. George Bush slashed taxes and the $236 billion surplus turned into a $413 billion deficit. Those are not projections, budgets, or forecasts. Those are actual receipts versus actual outlays.

We cannot afford another four years of Bush economics under John McCain.

[mfyyre]

Human dross

[henryvane]

"induendo" motification" (twice) "acu-ations" ? Is this nervousness or a speech impediment? I'm confused.

[beansnrice321]

Yeah, this isn't Barny Frank, whats up?

[NewYorkViolets]

yeah, he's nervous cause he's guilty. he's got the friggin' senate breathing down his neck.

[reconlabs]

Umm, Is it me or is he drunk??

[Djronan1]

It'll be great to pick up this idiot's seat in November. Democrats '08!

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Ah, Mr. Young, the Prince of Pork, the Earl of Earmarks. I think we've been on to your motivications for a long time. You know how to wave your magic wand, at any point during the legislative process, and make money appear for your consitutuents. You don't care how you do this or what rules you break - it's why your people love you. Alaskans feel about Young like a man I remember seeing w/ a viscious dog who said, "Thank God he's mine. He'd scare the shit out of me if he was someone else's dog."

[jimbojim68]

He's a boozeahmaholic!

[akaso405]

motivications!?

[kamenofthelambdazone]

Pastor Wright has been quoted as saying: "When [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1995 me and Barack went to Tripoli [to visit Muammar al-Gaddafi] with [Louis]

Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell."[49]

[CynicalSavior]

Is it me or does he sound drunk?

WTF?

[JosephChrist]

"Motivications"?

Thats not even a word.

[dexterriley]

I see the Dan Quayle school has another graduate. Coconut grove? i get the feeling he's been at bohemian grove a but 2 often.

[HemantKumar83]

What the hell is an accuation and motivication ?

[dozdolt44]

The creativity that he uses to obfuscate the truth is also the process that he uses to create his own vocabulary. He's a genius!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Is he drunk? Why is he talking like that?

[mmm413]

Does this man have any relationship to the English language?

[776281]

mmm413,

Not really, runs with scissor might be right.

That said, he did make one valid point; legislation should be amended by the house, not just fixed up before signing.

Do we understand what democracy is, what the constitution is?

[mmm413]

The problem is that Young amended legislation to his benefit that had already been passed. You might want to read up a little bit more on this issue. The bill had been passed. Young surreptiously went in and changed it AFTER it had been passed. Is that so hard to understand? I think not.

[776281]

THe problem is how it seems to be almost accepable. Changeing legislation afterwards is never acceptable whoever does it

[fiddlerthh]

check out Veracifiers "related videos" on the right of your screen if you haven't already - there's a lot to the Don Young story. Much of it is hilarious ... like when he threatened to bite people like the minks from his district do!

[mikemidcity]

Why is it that a Congressman from Alaska talking about a road in Florida?

Let's lock this crook up.

[DamNationDiplomat]

He might be drunk; just listen to the way he slurs.

[silverman567]

MOTIFICATION!???

[runswithscissorsalot]

lol!!! i was thinking the same thing! I just checked the dictionary just in case. it is indeed a made-up word!!!lol

[F4O4U4R4S]

hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah­a!

[TormentedByDemons]

Veracifier's motivications remain unclearly for this viddeo.

[darkally]

Really? They didn't research where the city was before they wrote the legislation? Lame

[boldseduction69]

what da hell?

[eljefereal]

"I have been the subject of much induendo concerning my intent and motification of this project. These acuations..."

HUH?

[JMHamilton1]

I was going to comment on this but I'm not clear of the whole bill and what's it's for but there's one things I can say from hearing this video clip. I call it "dancing" because there is no point in this that anyone can understand and when that happens, 99.99% of the time that person is dancing around not to tell the truth.

[nbwulf]

Such a piece of work...

[dutchhaze1]

lol, I was going to comment on the fact that he did sound a bit sauced up for sure.

I would like for him to list the other bills that have been changed AFTER (not before like he said) the enrollment process. So people making the changes could be jailed too. :)

Power to the people?

[libertyerian]

why is a guy from Alaska want to lobbying for a road in Florida?

[Weaseldog2001]

It's probably a reach around.

[brawnymike]

Donnie shouldn't drink and drone.

[brawnymike]

induendo?

[notscooter952]

I'm not sure that's a word.

[notscooter952]

motification?
