Here’s Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, posting a press release on his website which, unfortunately, is actually a mocking press release sent out earlier by his Democratic opponent, Rob Miller. It has been on the front page for many hours, highlighted by the following first paragraph: “Today, incumbent Congressman Joe Wilson began his election-year bus tour for the status quo. Wilson, who has proudly voted with the Bush administration over 95% of the time, is trying to convince voters that the country is on the right track and simply needs more of the same policies and ideas.” Maybe this is a new sort of double secret irony to which we are not attuned? OH SHIT, he literally just took it down. [Joe Wilson For Congress via Crack The Bell]

Sounds like he’s plagiarizing McCain campaign literature to me.

it’s irony so hearty, you can eat it with a spork.

Then maybe we should just put him on double secret probation…

Somebody send that U.S. American a map, such as.

…is it me or has EVERY Republican voted with “W” 95% of the time?! Secondly, which bills constitute the 5% of bills they didn’t vote with him for? Knowing these douch-bags is was the “free milk for babies bill” or the “don’t beat puppies with ball pean hammers bill”!

Status Quo, he thought they meant the band.

He needs Ted Stevens to explain the series of tubes to him

Does Valerie Plame know this? Or Robert Novak?? [Is Novak dead yet?]
Most importantly, will Wilson’s tour for the status quo (Italian for “states’ rights) be sideswiped by the Str8 Tlk Xpres???

Joe Wilson is that guy who fucked a volleyball named Mr. Voit, which is not the kind of tourism we want in South Carolina.

I’m trying to figure out why Republican is underlined. Is it some secret coded message about buttseks?

You never know…..that kind of publicity might play well in S.C.

[re=62327]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Actually it was the “Don’t Beat Babies with Ball Pean Hammers Act of 2008″.

[re=62327]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: The only one was the “Let’s all document our illegal maids and gardeners and make them pay taxes act”

Who is this “status quo?” Where does this “status quo” live? Can I take this “status quo” on a date and screw it in the back of my dad’s car?

Hey, it’s his party and he’ll say what he wants to.

[re=62351]4tehlulz[/re]: Maybe some of them voted against the Lott-Specter bill to legalize recreational whale torture?

Since when do Republicans campaign by telling the truth about their voting records and platforms?

See, these policies and ideas take longer than eight years to work. They take more like sixteen or a hundred years. Just give them a chance! Also, stock up on canned food, water, and guns.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Turds can’t float in the holiday punch bowl forever.
This one will sink eventually. Hopefully by his own hand or mouth.
