It was an all-out war on the Browns™, the Uterati™, reality, and my soul:

Shit! I Have to Tidy Up the Place for Yet Another GOP Herp-Derpbate! – Now with Bonus Chirpstory!

Posted on February 22, 2012 by | 9 Comments

Update!!!  My esteemed colleague, Ian, has put together a chirpstory – the best tweets of the debate – for the GOP herp-derpbate, and I have embedded the code below, right before I begin live-blogging the debate.  Enjoy!

*yawn*   *shuffle, shuffle, stop*  *peers around and tightens robe*

Down to the Final Four clowns!

What the fuck are you doing here?  The hell?  Another debate, you say?  It’s been so nice not having to listen to the GOP presidential candidates blather on and on and on and on and – do we have to do this again?!?  Oh fine.

*flounces to the computer and thunks down*

*drums fingertips on the keyboard, producing gibberish, which is still more intelligible than anything any of the GOP candidates might utter tonight*

The GOP herp-derpbate is taking place in Arizona tonight with CNN’s John King moderating.  He got clowned on by Newt Gingrich the last time he moderated, so expect King to get some of his own back tonight.

What will be on tap?  I have a hunch Romney will be asked about a certain local, hypocritical, blackmailing de-closeted sheriff.  Santorum will definitely be asked about his holier-than-God attitude in deciding who is a Christian and who is not.  By they way, Ricky, have you read Matthew 1: 1-5?  Fascinating scripture.  Really.  Or, as I like to say, don’t start none, won’t be none.  I have no idea what will be asked of Ron Paul, nor do I particularly care.  Is it just me, or has he fallen completely off the radar lately?  Couldn’t have happened to a nicer crank if you ask me.  As for Newt, the less said, the better!

Virginia GOP backs down: One battle in the War on Women™ won – 12,087 to go.

Posted on February 22, 2012 by | 6 Comments

It turns out that threatening to rape people for having the temerity to ask for a legal surgical procedure is a bridge too far:

House Republican leaders are expected to try to amend a bill on Wednesday that would require women to undergo a [transvaginal] ultrasound before an abortion.

Legislators and governor’s staff met Tuesday night to hash out a compromise that would make the ultrasounds voluntary, but not mandatory, before an abortion, several people with knowledge of the meeting said Wednesday.

But lest you think that this means that the GOP has decided to treat women as full human beings, and our bodily autonomy as a matter of some concern? Read on:

Yo, The Stimulus Worked — Thank You President Obama!

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 10 Comments

Common refrains from people who say it didn’t work:

  • But Obama promised that unemployment would be less than 8%. Horseshit on a stick. First, he didn’t “promise” a damn thing, if everything an incoming president says is turned into a “promise”, well then there has been a whole lot of promise breaking going on in our history. Second, the cautious prediction made during the transition was based on the numbers that the outgoing Bush administration was feeding the Obama team. They were flat out wrong and completely underestimated what was going on in our economy. Hey media, that’s called context. Buy some at the local C-store.

Shorter Franklin Graham: Obama is Probably a Secret Muslim

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 13 Comments

Play that Funky Music

For the next nine months, we are going to be treated to 2008′s greatest hits. Everything from “Yes Man, He’s My Kenyan,” to “Goddamn America, The Jeremiah Wright Song,” to “Black Genocide, Don’t Do It,” to “Secret Muslims, Yes That’s What We Are” to “Mommas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Liberals Who Abort Babies,” to “My Sharia,” to “Half-Black is Too Black, But Not Black Enough,” to “Hawaii Ain’t No State I Ever Heard Of.”

Today on Morning Joe, Franklin Graham, son of television evangeloon Billy Graham, lifted up his voice and sang the Secret Muslim Song.

Apparently, Baby Graham doesn’t believe President Obama is a Christian, but rather some Christian-Muslim hybrid:

Graham, throughout the interview, repeatedly said he didn’t know if President Obama was a Christian.

“I asked him when he was running… how he came to faith in Christ. He said that he was working in the South Side of Chicago in the community and they asked him — the community — asked him what church he went to, and he said ‘I don’t go to church.’ They said, ‘If you’re going to work in the community, you have to join one of our churches.’ And of course, he joined Reverend Jeremiah’s church. So that’s what his answer to my question was.” Continue reading →

Restoring America’s global standing – Rick Santorum edition.

Posted on February 20, 2012 by | 2 Comments

Ride for your lives, Dutch ladies! Ride like the wind!

You know all the GOP palaver about how President Obama has wrecked America’s place in the World Cup of Global Domination and Awesome?

Here’s what people in the Netherlands are talking about these days, when they talk about America:

Rick Santorum’s invocation of a nightmare of mass murder of the elderly in the Netherlands has provoked a storm of incredulity and criticism in the Western European country, where the local press say his statistics are wildly inflated.

“Rick Santorum Thinks He Knows the Netherlands: Murder of the Elderly on a Grand Scale” is Saturday’s headline in the daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

Skinhead Sheriff Paul Babeu: Open the Danged Closet

Posted on February 18, 2012 by | 36 Comments

Oops! Here we go again…

And now we know.

Rising Republican star and well-known border hawk Sheriff Paul Babeu, who’s now running for Congress in Arizona, was hit Friday night with bombshell accusations from a Mexican immigrant who said he dated the sheriff for years and was threatened with deportation if he ever told anyone about their romance.

The Phoenix New Times newspaper broke the story on its website in a piece written by veteran journalist Monica Alonzo. The accusations came complete with text messages said to be between the two men as well as compromising photos purportedly of Babeu that are reminiscent of recent sex scandals that ended the careers of Congressmen Anthony Weiner and Chris Lee.  Continue reading →

Chimichanga Nation: Messina is a big bigoty Latino insulter

Posted on February 17, 2012 by | 5 Comments

The most viewed and most discussed “news” article in The Hill on Thursday was titled, “GOP demands apology for Obama campaign manager’s ‘chimichanga’ tweet.”

So much for focusing on “the issues” this election season.

Republicans are demanding an apology Wednesday from President Obama’s campaign manager after a tweet that they argue was insulting toward Latino Americans.

In case you’re feeling special, the answer is no: you were not the only one to recognize the irony of the Republican Party “demanding” anything as reparation for offending Latino voters.
