    Let the spoofs begin!! Here is one response to the NOM ad. (h/t Andrew Sullivan).Also….what streak???? (I’d say “suck it,” but I’m a lady)

  • GItheJOE

    FUCKITY FUCK FUCKITY FUCK!!!!

  • GItheJOE

    It ate it?

  • Kat

    Who ate what, Joe?(Talk about a loaded question….)

    (I’d say “suck it,” but I’m a lady)

    Uh-huh…

  • GItheJOE

    Kat, Bob’s filter ate my comment.

    I just saw the “commercial”. No big deal. Even the dumbest asses I know will think that piece is silly.

  • Curly Lasagna

    Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) has announced that he is in possession of A SECRET LIST of seventeen Socialists in the House of Representatives. People, don’t delay. Call your Congressperson immediately and demand that they be added to the list!

  • GItheJOE

    This needs to stop now.McCarthyism will not end well. I move for immediate impeachment of Bachus.

  • Curly Lasagna

    Since its not fear of Commies anymore, they should rename it to “Bachmannism.”But, come to think of it, isn’t “Bachmannism” the clinical term for paranoid schizophrenia or plain vanilla insanity?

    FYI, should be a good show tonight (except for the parts where I talk): My Very Special Guest tonight is LTC Brian McNerny, U.S. Army (Ret.), a 25-year veteran recently retired from service and the founder of Iraq’s first permanent Allied library at Camp Anaconda, Balad Air Base.For more about Brian’s literary adventures in Iraq, see my friend Nicholas Basbane’s excellent article BIBLIOPHILES INSIDE THE WIRE. Should be a fascinating discussion tonight.

  • emsique

    Help! I’m being filtered!

  • J0hnGalt

    ZOMFG, Pat Buchanan just got PNWED!!! by Lawrence O’Donnell on Hardball!!!!Ouch!!!BTW Bob, nice work on the C&L player graphic!

  • dontpanic23

    My congressperson has been busy giving the stink-eye to freshmen representatives. She’s one of the Keepers Of The List. Calling her would only get me on her mailing list again. Oh, how she loves to spam and snail-spam those who write her to complain. It takes an act of –fucking something– to get her to stop.

  • dontpanic23

    Go Larry! He did rip Pat a new one.

  • emsique

    Was my comment too long?Go here:alarming article and here:Larry Summers

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    He has a list of socialists?Big deal.I’ve got a list of jackasses and hes just been placed at the top.Beat that Mr Sphincter Bachus

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    I have a list of Republicans who right now are doing more harm than good to this country. I’ll take that list of “Socialists” over any Republican any day.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Tom Tancredo?! He’s still alive?

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I was wondering the same thing Broadway.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Loved the psycho talk segment. The music and flashing lights makes it all come together. Hilarious.

  • veralynn

    where is KO?

  • idreamofskiba

    Is there something wrong with Al Sharpton?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    I don’t know Skiba, I just hope it’s a good diet.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I think someone should pull over and lock up Lars Larson. I can almost smell his hatred through the tv screen.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    I don’t think it’s right to hit women, but in Heidi Harris’ case…. c’mon Kat and Jane, help me out.

  • idreamofskiba

    Yeah, Carl…I can’t get over how skinny he looks.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Wow, I just remember why I haven’t watched much network news lately. This Lars Larson guy is just about too much for me. To these people believe their own bullshit? And when asked about the G-20 performance, their big meme is Obama bowing in respect to the saudie king who then shook Obama’s hand.I think ill turn it off now.

  • idreamofskiba

    I’ll help hold her back so Kat and Jane can go at her.I cannot stand that woman.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Vera – KO and his staff are at his mother’s memorial service.

  • Kat

    I’ll make sure Jane brings her minority whip.

  • veralynn

    thanks BC

  • jane

    Will punch Heidi for food. Okay, for free.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    We can always count on you Jane, way to be a team player.

  • jane

    It’s good to be home. And I’m not pregnant! Who’s buying me a beer?

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I would gladly buy you a whole keg Jane.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Elvis’ show is starting.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane, you were out buying pregnancy tests while Gypsy and Kat took on Heidi Vegas?

  • ElMystico

    >>, their big meme is Obama bowing in respect to the saudie king who then shook Obama’s hand.Yeah but…if he submitted to Sharia law, then…Osama bin Laden can just hang up the old turban, right? Just use that ol’ video camera to take home movies of the grandkids, now that the Great Satan has submitted to the Sharia because B, Hussein Obama bent forward slightly?I mean, if what they’re saying were true, that would happen right? Put that in your douchepipe and smoke it, Lars Larson and cranky crosseyed chick on Hardball.

  • jane

    Confession: I am blissfully ignorant of this Heidi person, but I googled and saw “right wing radio personality” and threw up a little. And offered my services.

  • dontpanic23

    She’s also guilty of always having that tacky Vegas sign over her shoulder as backdrop.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    There is no Countdown tonight.Keith is at his mother’s memorial service (she died on Saturday). I think the Yankees are there with him. Keith’s Mom and Billy Kristal are the two most famous Yankees fans.

  • ElMystico

    Wait wait wait wait wait…Leon Panetta just said that CIA interrogations will have to be done by government employees. We really had contractors torturing people for us? What the fuck kind of crazy ass right wing jerk off fantasy blog were we living in for 8 years? Jeez.

  • http://www.osborneink.com Matt Osborne

    About that ad…Okay, I let my curiosity get the better of me a little while ago and started Googling. The result is a blog, posted just a minute ago.The “National Organization for Marriage” turns out to be a front for Opus Dei. Seriously.The president, chairman of the board, and executive director are all proponents of the hostile birth movement and opponents of contraception. No kidding — they’re are the people who think condoms are worse than AIDS.And the president of NOM is the other columnist from the Armstrong Williams scandal. You can’t make this shit up!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    She’s also guilty of always having that tacky Vegas sign over her shoulder as backdrop.

    Harris: “HI! I’M FROM VEEGAAASSS!!! See the iconic Vegas sign over my shoulder? It’s either that or I’d have to use my night job at the Spearmint Rhino as the background. No, I’m not a stripper! I’m the bouncer.”

  • Kat

    Elvis is about to make me ill.

  • jane

    Shit, forgot that was on. Thanks Kat.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Elmystico – You didn’t know we had contractors doing our torturing? Not only that. We had contractors doing routine interogations of regular suspects also. Unchecked unregulated unrestrained contractors who buttfucked the american taxpayers for all they are worth and produced nothing to show for it. Many of the prisons in Iraq are run by contractors. Its all a money scam, it was from the start.If you just found that out then wow… welcome to really knowing whats been happening.

  • jane

    Yeah, Ashby, I was googling that for Myst. One of the stories that came out when we had that Fuckup Ennui. Every day. Outrage fatigue.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Matt -Great info. Thanks.

  • ceu

    Rachel’s talking about the GOP tea baggers and she’s having a very tough time keeping a straight face… It’s pretty funny. :)

  • Fanboy

    Maddow! Teabaging… air, becoming an issue….

  • Fanboy

    muffled!

  • veralynn

    Rachel is having a great time talking about teabagging

  • GItheJOE

    BIG SPLIT BETWEEN TEABAGS!!! HA

  • AdyLeigh

    OMG was there a segment on Rachel’s show just now entitled. “Making Teabagging Personal”…I think so, and I’m blushing a little bit.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Just linking this if anyone is interestedhttp://www.moviesfoundonline.com/documentaries.phpGood place to find tons of documenatires to watch online for free. Im pretty sure Why We fight is on there somewhere, which Elvis just mentioned on this radio show. Just about every other eye-opening documentary about the money scam that is the war on terror and the shitting on the economy by bush is on there.

  • Kat

    I’m gonna have to YouTube this Rachel. And I know she was amazing, and gorgeous, and clever, and witty, and sigh I’ll shut up now.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I think its hilarious how the tea bagger protestors clearly have no idea what tea bagging is. So when those protestors see the mockery of their movement, they literally have no idea what the big joke is.

  • veralynn

    I am very confused. I do not understand the following.How does same sex marriage take away my civil rights and keep me from living my life?How come they are ruining a perfectly good movie, “The Manchurian Candidate”. And how can they compare the President with a “Manchurian Candidate” when he has not served in the military? And therefore, has never been held as a prisoner of war?I know there are some seriously stupid people out there, hell I am related to a couple, but how does this work logically?They really need to rethink their opposition to education.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Veralynn – There is no logic to it. None at all. Logical reasoning is not something the wingnuts are very adept at. Infact, they seem to shun logic in favor of idealism at every turn. Their opposition to education is actually a business stance for them because the more people that are educated, the less they have to feed nonsense to over the airwaves.

  • veralynn

    yeah I know JM….I just needed to vent, thanks

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Logic? Logic? Logic?We are lucky these people can dress themselves. They never learned to think. First their parents told them what to think, then their Pastors joined in. They are loyal plastic sheeple that go wherever the herd is led.They can’t find the urban dictionary, don’t know how to use google, and can only get to Hot Air and Free Republic because a cousin set up bookmarks for those and some hot pr0n.They don’t know the difference between law and the Bible and they think they can violate laws if the bible disagrees with them. They didn’t understand that bit about “Render unto Ceasar …”

  • AdyLynn

    VeraLynn, of course same sex marriage has no bearing on your civil liberties whatsoever. Granting same sex couples the right to legally marry amounts to nothing more than giving then the same civil rights and liberties that heterosexual couples already have. This is just a fear tactic the far-right is using to scare people. Did giving women and African Americans the right to vote take away the civil liberties already given to white men?

  • AdyLeigh

    And just look at the mess heterosexual couples have made out of marriage…yikes! Hell, I even contributed to the mess myself.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    I forgot to mention. They’ve never seen “The Manchurian Candidate” neither the original, or the remake. They don’t know what it means, but it sounds good.I’ve never seen the remake, but I have the original on DVD. I think it’s Frank Sinatra’s best acting job. Lawrence Harvey and Angela Lansbury both also give kickass performances. It’s a great film. I see no need for a remake.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    “We are lucky these people can dress themselves”Well put, Git.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    You and me both Ady.

  • AdyLeigh

    On my first post up there, VL, I combined our names. Sorry, I hope that doesn’t offend you.

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Here is a very funny YouTube about Tea Bagging.. it is a Parody of sorts.. but be warned.. it has malkin, limbaugh and becks face in it.. Oh and it is NSFW..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F26vC_1_8xw&feature=player_embedded

  • veralynn

    AdyLynn? New nom de plume?

  • ceu

    An educated electorate is a very dangerous thing for them. Remember during the campaign when they spoke disparagingly about how college graduates supported Obama, but “average Americans”? not so much. Obama went to Harvard (smirk) – he’s an elitist (stupid word).Pell grants & Stafford loan under GOP congresses were laughably small. The loan for a freshman was capped at $2613. No Child Left Behind was unfunded.They have no clue that without an well-educated younger generation, this country will never be able to move forward – they stifle research, development, and innovation and every one of our lives are affected by that.

  • veralynn

    lol Ady, no worriesand git I agree, i love the originalthe remake had Denzel, but that is it

  • GItheJOE

    Krod Mandoon GO!

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    nom de guerre

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Well said chris.They want ignorant sheeple that they can fleece as the country spirals around the bowl. They apparently want their children to inherit a disaster.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Thanks Annette

    So far great show Elvis is having. I’m on the train and lost my connection but was enjoying and learning a lot during the show.QT

  • SteveO

    Its true.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I agree QT, I’ve been listening over an hour. It’s nice to hear hands-on experience and perspective.

  • SteveO

    Fact 1:Obama has yet to find a church

  • Kat

    It’s a great show, QT. I’m loving this one. Totally geeking out on it too! I wanna go to Ur!!!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Re: that Hot Air article. I heard when you play Obama’s Inaugural Address backwards, his secret message says, “Republicans are douchebags.”… It’s true.

  • Kat

    And I’ll vouch – “Control Room” is a fucking great documentary. And is so happens that Josh Rushing is exceptionally hott.

  • SteveO

    and when Broadway Carld bends over and wlaks backwards he says “Thank you”Must be tough being a mouse for a man.

    And a merkin, Git.

    Very well said tonight Elvis. People not going to college anymore to get educated, but to get a job. (although these days a degree is hardly a job garuntee)Thats probably one of the reasons I didn’t go to college for longer than I did. I went to learn, and learned nothing. I’ve learned more the past 2 years all on my own online than I did in every year ive ever spent in school put together.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Elvis has left the building so I guess I can finally eat something now. Didn’t want to leave the room.

  • GItheJOE

    Got in!!! WOOT!!LTC was awesome with, “I became a liberal after the W. and Gulf War!”

  • Kat

    Go Joe!! Glad you were able to get in there. That was an AWESOME show!!!

  • GItheJOE

    And now Jon Stewart is killing it!

  • hielo

    I hope I don’t kill your thread here… but if GitheJoe punches in a bit later….I listened to your broadcast Joe…… You have some really good shit to say. Keep on dude.Muchas gracias

  • GItheJOE

    Vets are a simple creature.Give us money and we love you.

  • hielo

    O.K. JoeAny problem with the way Obama is rewarding your service?

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    SteveO -I’m an atheist and only go to church for other people’s weddings. I am personally unable to buy into the fairy tale fantasies and outright utter bollocks associated with organized religions.So blow me.I don’t give a royal rat’s ass whether the president has selected a church or not. Also, I think your fact is wrong. President Obama attends several different churchs and will probably continue to do so.If this is all you pathetic clowns have, then you are in deep shit. I heard that W went for over a year without attending church once. Where were you then you hypocritical twatwaffle.

  • GItheJOE

    Not yet.He did great today. I was worried about his VA policy but that was taking care of.

  • hielo

    Awesome.I knew a very smart President could get it done.No, I don’t like the national debt. But shit, look what he got left with! You deserve it all!Getting warm here in Mexico. Had a great boat trip tonight…. Semana Santa (Easter Week). A bit drunk. Signing off.Hasta Luego amigo.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    SteveO -If you play your life backwards it sounds like “I am a big fat loser who is easily manipulated by my neofascist leader also too.”

    Yeah… I mean… yeah.I’m looking forward to the future energy politics show, and I’m also looking forward to more from Elvis on the subject of education – he’s got a real passion there. :) QT

    You whacking off to child porn and typing with one hand there, SteveO. Off you you, little man.
