When it comes to judging colossal dicks, and the colossal dickitude they practice in the United States Senate, Orrin Hatch is too often overlooked. On Tuesday, for example, per CNN, Hatch had some interesting things to say about you and me and our chronically mooching ways.

As he left a meeting in the Capitol of the Senate health care working group, which is trying to craft compromise legislation that can pass the Senate without Democrats, Hatch was asked by a reporter, "How does the public's perception of what the House did affect what you are doing?"

"The public wants every dime they can be given," he said. "Let's face it, once you get them on the dole, they'll take every dime they can. We've got to find some way of getting things under control or this country and your future is going to be gone."

Orrin Hatch has been on the public dime in the Senate since 1976.

Orrin Hatch has a net worth of over $5 million.

Orrin Hatch is a colossal dick.

And that's all I have to say about that.
