Scott Kleeb Will Enlarge The ‘Tractor Caucus’

It is growing by the minute!Our good friend Jon Tester writes to us (and everybody else on his email list) to ask us to donate to the campaign of Scott Kleeb, who is running for the Senate “Tractor Caucus.” Who is this cutie with the terrible name?

“A teacher and a former ranch hand,” says Tester, which means he takes the summers off and knows his way around a sheep. But he is also a secret Elitist who went to Yale and has a PhD, so he probably runs an Arugula Ranch up there in, let’s see, Nebraska. Instant disqualification.

    geh.

  2. nbawriter says at 10:40 am, June 26th, 2008

    Can we build the Tractor Caucus out of Truck Nutz?

  3. nbawriter says at 10:46 am, June 26th, 2008

    His Tractor Caucus could inspire the Damp Panty Coalition.

  4. Brutus Harlot says at 10:47 am, June 26th, 2008

    I’m contributing on the basis that we need more hot Senators. (Ladies and Gay Men: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=scott%20kleeb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)

  5. professor.cj says at 10:47 am, June 26th, 2008

    Is he asking for a reach-around?

  6. capitol-hillbilly says at 10:48 am, June 26th, 2008

    nbawriter: Tractor Testicles … big sale, while supplies last !

  7. pondscum says at 10:53 am, June 26th, 2008

    nbawriter: No joke! Wow. The hotness is melting my monitor. I’m headed home to fire up the antique John Deere and join the tractor caucus.

  8. Walter Sobchak says at 10:54 am, June 26th, 2008

    Somewhat off topic, but I was watching CSPAN at like 2 am last weekend, and the Race-Horse hearings were on. They referred repeatedly to the ‘Congressional Horse Caucus,’ which I imagine is closely related to the Tractor Caucus, but much funnier.

  9. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:56 am, June 26th, 2008

    …maybe I’m all hopped up on caffeine this morning(and I am) but this guys looks a hell of a lot like the actor Bruce Campbell from “Army of Darkness”!

    Exhibit A:

  10. Cape Clod says at 10:56 am, June 26th, 2008

    He’s the Nebraska Democratic Senate candidate hopeless cause that all the Kossacks have had a hard on over for about 4 years.

  11. He knows his way around a sheep? Why am I not surprised? Amused but not surprised.

  12. Not_So_Much says at 11:00 am, June 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: “Gimme some sugar, Baby!”

    Totes Bruce Campbell.

  13. Godless Liberal * says at 11:01 am, June 26th, 2008

    So unquestionably gay.

  14. Brutus Harlot says at 11:02 am, June 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: There is also a theory (of which I do not subscribe) that he looks like the Hoff

  15. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:03 am, June 26th, 2008

    Servo: Scott Kleeb: He knows you can’t get hot oral from a ruminant.

  16. MadMangosteen says at 11:04 am, June 26th, 2008

    the tractor caucus ain’t the only thing Kleeb is enlarging

  17. freakishlystrong says at 11:06 am, June 26th, 2008

    I wish I could quit yew-Tester-cul!

  18. Are you sure that’s not the Marlboro man?

    Quite the hottie.

  19. freakishlystrong says at 11:06 am, June 26th, 2008

    Man, talk about Cow Porn!

  20. Does he “motorboat” cows too?

  21. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 11:08 am, June 26th, 2008

    nbawriter: Great idea, and economical too…because there’s a…

    big sale on truck nutz

  22. WadISay says at 11:08 am, June 26th, 2008

    If this guy gets elected, Larry Craig will be spending a lot more time in the Senate men’s room.

  23. Basil Morningwood says at 11:08 am, June 26th, 2008

    Walter Sobchak: Rumor has it that the Kleebster is hung like a Horse Caucus.

  24. mpslim says at 11:10 am, June 26th, 2008

    I would totally contribute to the tractor caucus…unfortuantely I already cashed my check at the Piggly Wiggly so I could get a discount on a case of Coors and bulk pork rinds http://www.porkrind.com/porkrind.htm

    And my last 20 bucks is reseved for professional cornhole products

    I love America

  25. SayItWithWookies says at 11:10 am, June 26th, 2008

    Holy crap — just looking at that picture I can tell he smells of Old Spice, hay and a whiff of diesel exhaust. Can he sing “Wichita Lineman,” tie a clove hitch and cook a roulade?

  26. nbawriter says at 11:11 am, June 26th, 2008

    He looks like Tom Cruise if the Grand Wizard of Scientology could fight his way to the top position.

  27. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:12 am, June 26th, 2008

    Brutus Harlot: …that looks a little photo-shopped to me. And secondly why the hell do they have to post a photo of Hasslehoff in his tightey blackey’s? His chest looks like a worn out shag carpet.

  28. loudmouthredhead says at 11:14 am, June 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You are not alone in seeing the resemblance. Although, Kleeb looks more like the cleaner-cut, fruitier Xena days that came later:
    http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/868/868813/bruce-campbell-20080423040250149.jpg

    He needs a campaign slogan along the lines of “Scott Kleeb: He’ll make you feel like you have a shaky old tractor between your legs. That’s just the lure of the caucus baby, the lure of the caucus…”

  29. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:14 am, June 26th, 2008

    Not_So_Much: …as long as doesn’t start threatening people with his “Boom Stick”!

  30. DoctorCulturae says at 11:15 am, June 26th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: …and line dancing while telling us about his dissertation from Yale.

  31. loudmouthredhead says at 11:18 am, June 26th, 2008

    Sadly, I’m more convinced of this man’s cowboy cred (not sure what KIND of cowboy, exactly…) then the hilariously-manufactured “Big John” of Texas.

  32. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:25 am, June 26th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: …being the total cult fanatic of “Army of Darkness”(and Xena for that matter, but i digress) I fully endorse him for the senate! He is a “Dem” right?

  33. liquiddaddy says at 11:39 am, June 26th, 2008

    This sounds strangely communist to me.

  34. Voyou Charmant says at 11:39 am, June 26th, 2008

    nbawriter: Can’t we just repackage Truck Nutz as Tractor Nutz?

  35. Walter Sobchak says at 11:39 am, June 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Considering the Western motif here, I think Brisco County, Jr. comparisons are more appropriate…

  36. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 11:41 am, June 26th, 2008

    I can’t believe the cowboy from The Village People shaved and has vitiligo. I thought he was still locked up for getting caught speeding while smoking crack.

  37. hopeforbill says at 11:42 am, June 26th, 2008

    Two words: Brokeback … Senator.

  38. Doglessliberal says at 11:49 am, June 26th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: don’t forget the slight overlay of horse, which is a good smell. Sort of like he just got back a nice, long, sweaty ride….

    Uh, ahem. Got distracted.

  39. AnnieGetYourFun says at 11:53 am, June 26th, 2008

    Oh, he’s a Democrat. So, he’s probs not gay.

  40. Democrats have quite the crop of cuties running for office this year, don’t they?

  41. Neilist says at 12:12 pm, June 26th, 2008

    “Former ranch hand” = “Brokeback Mountain Man”?

  42. thefrontpage says at 12:16 pm, June 26th, 2008

    “Kleeb” means “tractor” in Khazakistanian.

  43. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:33 pm, June 26th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: …sorry to poop on your fantasy but horses are kinda smelly!

    SEE REPUBLICANS US DEMOCRATS CAN GO TO YALE AND WEAR STUPID HATS TOO.
    Hacks.

  46. MARCdMan says at 12:49 pm, June 26th, 2008

    This dude could complete the non-wuss-politician trinity if he gets to serve with Tester and Jim Webb.

  47. Doglessliberal says at 1:04 pm, June 26th, 2008

    I just relized that this is what George Allen wishes he was. When he wears the boots and hat, and his revolting smirk smile, he just looks like a rich, prep school boy who tries to bully the younger kids because his daddy owns half the town. Kleeb could beat the Macaca out of Georgie with one hand tied behind his back.

  48. bmannes says at 1:06 pm, June 26th, 2008

    He just got an endorsement from the Sit On My Face Coalition. I like him better clean shaven, without the “prison pussy”.

  49. Outstando says at 1:14 pm, June 26th, 2008

    Omaha would have DSL if Kleeb hadn’t gotten liquored up on horseback and taken down them phone lines with his six shooter.

  50. Count Snarkula says at 1:50 pm, June 26th, 2008

    I’d hit it. But what I have in mind for him is more of a “train” coalition than a tractor one.

  51. ladymacbeth says at 2:10 pm, June 26th, 2008

    nbawriter: and if he’s 5′2″.

  52. PrairiePossum says at 2:15 pm, June 26th, 2008

    If I were his advisers, I would encourage him to campaign naked.

    Better yet, for every $100,000.00 in donations, Mr. Kleeb should remove one article of clothing.

  53. DemmeFatale says at 2:52 pm, June 26th, 2008

    I’ve heard some Nebraskans pronounce it Scott “Klehb” (so that may help, name-wise).
    But I don’t care how you say it.

    Knee deep in a grassy field.
    On horseback.
    With his son.

    I just don’t care.
    He’s dreamy!

  54. NebraskashireGentry says at 2:56 pm, June 26th, 2008

    Outstando: which is exactly why Chuck Hagel/Chuk H./X (the illiterate vote of the state automatically goes to the Republican nominee) will be re-elected to the Senate as a write-in candidate.

    honestly, it’s pretty likely that both of Nebraska’s Senators will be Democrats after the next election…though regarding Ben Nelson as a Democrat is rather dubious. the Republican nominee is an unpopular former governor who left his position to an even bigger moron so he could head the Department of Agriculture for George W. Bush–who even Nebraskans don’t much care for these days.

    I’ve heard that while in Washington, Mike Johanns learned him some of them “D.C. values” (these, of course, do not exist). Also, his campaign slogan is much that those of other losing candidates: experience, trust, proven leadership and being a POW in ‘Nam!.

  55. PrairiePossum: Subservient Mr. Kleeb Donor Strip Show. Hopey, take note.

  56. StupidGeek says at 3:10 pm, June 26th, 2008

    Damn! I know a lot of people with PhDs. I wish they were as hot as Dr. Kleeb.

  57. confusionanddelay< says at 3:24 pm, June 26th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Well then those Kossacks are on to something. I just saw his picture for the first time and I’ve got a ladyboner for him.

  58. ThreeFingersNeat says at 3:24 pm, June 27th, 2008
