I give you Basil Marceaux, Republican candidate for Governor of Tennessee:
And you thought Ken Blackwell and Matt Naugle were bad. Um. Damn. But wait. There’s more! I get a feeling I’m going to be wanting more and more Basil. This clip makes me think whoever is working on his campaign is seriously messing with him:
[Note at 1:04 in the above clip the squinting. Note to campaign: No more shoots on bright ass sunny days]
America. What a country!
Full Story... →We have the tape! A reader sends in secret spy footage of a strategy session in which the Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin Dewine and John Kasich communications director Scott Milburn discuss how to stop the mean Ted Strickland from attacking them mercilessly:
PS – I think I cracked the code. I knew there was a reason the carpetblogger called his home Third Base Politics. What? Who? I dunno. THIRD BASE!
Full Story... →Ruh roh. It looks like the free speech gestapo is out in force because certain Americans were speaking out in certain ways that did not line up with the agenda the GOP wanted to foist upon us at American Speaking Out.
I just noticed some “speak outs” have been removed from the site that I linked to yesterday. Specifically:
Belgium looked at us funny. Let?s bomb them.
and
Curiously enough this one is still up:
Full Story... →It would not appear that this could get any better. The absolute hilarity and GOP #fail that is America Speaking Out. Get better it does:
“The Microsoft TownHall software, which is the underlying software on which the America Speaking Out website was built, is available at no cost,” Microsoft spokeswoman Sarah Anissipour said in an e-mailed statement. “Customers only pay to host their TownHall solution on Windows Azure, which is available using a scalable, pay-only-for-usage model. The number of people visiting a website does have a direct correlation to Windows Azure usage.” Translated out of P.R.-speak, that means [...]
Full Story... →It doesn’t take a Magic 8 Ball? to answer this one. They’re either stupendous idiots or deliberately misleading. They think this guy is our governor:
Unfortunately, Interior chief of staff Ted Strickland wasn?t in the warm waters of the Gulf, but in the Grand Canyon on what the White House called a business-related trip.
Odd. Jake Tapper (who Ed Morrissey quotes) calls the above dude “Tom Strickland”. Because that’s his name. This is Ted Strickland, our Governor and recent guest on our BTR PlunderChat:
See why blogging gets a bad name? When you [...]
Full Story... →Totally and completely awesome:
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
Full Story... →Some things never change. I promised earlier in a comment to share the funniest thing I saw all week. I noticed our buddy Matt Naugle mentioned an old friend of PB Jesse Taylor of Pandagon so I let Jesse in on it.
Hilarity ensued.
A Twitter flame war broke out and Matt came to a battle of wits completely unarmed. I laughed. I cried. I kept hitting F5. Here is the beginning (read it bottom up):
…and Jesse was just getting warmed up. This reply tweet is now abandoned because Matt got so pwned that [...]
Full Story... →Missed this, but any excuse to talk about NAMBLA and the failed campaign of one Ken Blackwell again I’ll take.? It was so much fun in 2006.? Why Matt would remind us of his disastrous stint as “offi…cial cam…paign blo…gger” is beyond me, but he continues to do just that.
Matt finds some great video of Ted giving a speech that means precisely nothing.? This has all been covered and was the final nail in both Matt’s coffin and his boss Blackwell back in 2006.? I find this video much more meaningful:
Full Story... →Ruh roh. Looks like ACORN may be getting $100 from my wingnut friend Joe C. We made a wager (I don’t forget these things – someone still owes me a bottle of bourbon from the 2008 Presidential…cough…Keeler…cough). The wager came after I made fun of those on the right getting lathered up by an article taking comments out of context to indicate (they thought) that Obama was leaving open the option of not running for re-election.
Joe C was very sure of it and even put $100 on it. Given to our favorite charity. I guess Joe [...]
Full Story... →Here it is. Your moment of Zen:
It’s actually called FCINO (Fiscal Conservative in Name Only), but it’s been dubbed “Demon Sheep”. The funniest thing is, they promise more of this! Joy!
Full Story... →I was shocked to find this claim by Republican John Kasich in a recent article at CNN:
“I think I was in the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party.”
Yes. You read that right. John Kasich invented the Tea Party. Not just the recent tea party phenomenon. You know, the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging wingnut sychophant party that descended upon us this summer. No. John Kasich invented THE “Tea Party?”. The original one.
I was very doubtful until I found this archival footage of the actual Boston Tea Party:
It is tough to tell at [...]
