Asked if he foresaw working well with the GOP leadership, freshman Rep. Billy Long (R., Mo.), who says he shares many of the tea-party activists' priorities, said, "I think it's a little too early to say yet...We'll want to bring our fresh ideas into it. We came with a big mandate. This is a huge class and I think the American people have spoken."

Oh really? Just what fresh new ideas do you bring to the table Billy?
Ah jeez.
Billy Long.
What? Is he going to shake his fist at Boehner and cry he is fed up? Long quickly adopted the establishment's way after the primary. I have no clue what he is talking about with fresh ideas. In fact, early in the primary Vincent David Jericho held a roundtable in which fed up Billy said he would vote the way the Republican leadership told him to vote. Because he is part of this big new class, Bklly "I don't run to the cameras and microphones every time they are offered" Long is always offering a generic soundbite which has become quite stale already in Southwest Missouri.
Fed Up will fit right in with the rest of the GOP. He won't rock the boat, nor will he offer anything new. He's just a mouthpiece for the higher ups.
Maybe Billy Long is really a Democrat. LOL
No Billy "bass" Long is a republican and the dems just gotta set back and watch this tea-bagger with his 2 gal. hat humiliate the state of Mo. the state deserves him.
Well, his first idea is to get rid of them Duke boys and then his second is to get Daisy to work longer hours down at the Boar's Nest, and then he'll have Roscoe and Enos …
I cannot stop laughing.
This may be, as I've said, the longest running cartoon in history.
I just know were headed for the world news when this jughead opens his mouth.
Geeeze. We don't deserve this.
...continued....
I would love to see Katie Couric ask him about Supreme Court rulings or some other "hard" question.
I cannot stop laughing.
