NOW WE'RE GETTING SERIOUS

Conservative Blog Puts It All On The Line, And We Will HOLD THEM TO IT

Oh man, thank you so much Wonkette operative “Dennis” for taking this screen shot of some blog called “Stay Red Kansas” that said it would SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN if they were wrong about Evan Bayh being Obama’s choice. Ballsy! But if you go to this blog now, you’ll find that clause of confidence mysteriously removed! Uh oh, did… did it turn out you had an untrustworthy source or two? Well tough luck, Stay Red Kansas, it is too late — you will PUT THAT SHIT DOWN if Evan Bayh is not VP. We are watching. [Stay Red Kansas]

    Stay red, Ponyboy. Stay red.

  2. drrty martini says at 8:03 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Stay flat, Kansas! Mmmm…pancakes.

  3. I wonder if their inside source was that super-serial blog from inside the belly of the Washington Beltway known as Wonkette. Cuz they are never wrong, with their top-placed sources in the Mid-West bumper sticker industry…

  4. smashtheduck says at 8:05 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Well MSNBC is saying it’s not Bayh or Kaine. My money’s still on Lieberman.

  5. 4tehlulz says at 8:05 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    If Bayh is not the nominee, folks, we will shut down this blog - or not - that’s how confident we are.

  6. ReelectTilden says at 8:05 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Delicious: I lolled.

  7. paolaccio says at 8:06 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Hells yeah. If it ends up being Edwards, or Edwards, or Nelson, or Nelson, me and Joe Chan will “hack the Gibson.”

    Word to your mother’s own.

  8. amazingtomatoes says at 8:06 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “Even Bayh”? It looks like Kansas will not be staying red much longer.

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 8:06 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    You expect them to get that prediction right? Hell, they didn’t even get red right. Stay pink, Kansas!

  10. passthearugula says at 8:06 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I’m fairly confident that no matter what the text ends up saying they are going to have to shut that bitch down since to my knowledge no one named “Even Bayh” actually exists.

  11. El Bombastico says at 8:08 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Ambinder says “Biden on the Move”! In other news, I’m going to kill myself!

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:08 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    …I have a feeling that “Stay Red Kansas” has been getting “inside tips” from Bill Kristol!

  13. defeatism says at 8:08 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    How about we just kick Kansas out of the Union if they’re wrong? I vote for that shit.

  14. cockblock says at 8:10 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN”
    Like that phrase.
    I shall work it into conversation this weekend.

  15. the outsider says at 8:11 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    passthearugula: Darnit I was just going to post something similar. I must improve my wit’s reaction time.

  16. Schadenfried says at 8:12 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    defeatism: Can we also put the McDonald’s and Hallmark boycotters in Kansas if it’s kicked out?

  17. WagTehGod says at 8:12 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Yeah, if any blog has the inside dope on the inner circle of a Librul’s campaign, it’s got to be a conservative blog. And one in the middle of fucking Kansas.

  18. TurdBlossom says at 8:16 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Clearly we need a Fox News-style count-up clock…days since Bayh was not the VP and Stay Red Kansas is still in existence.

  19. Not_So_Much says at 8:18 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Fucking pansies. I they were really confident, they would offer to shut every right-wing blog down.

    I’m not impressed.

  20. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:18 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Wonkette: Taking out the red blogs one at a time.

  21. edgydrifter says at 8:18 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    This, according to “several inside sources close to the situation.” Translation: “My roommate who saw that bumpersticker on Drudge that looks so professionally-made it has to be real.”

  22. Delicious says at 8:19 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    MSNBC says Bayh, Kaine are out of the running.

    It’s Biden.

  23. jagorev says at 8:19 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I’ll go one step further: if it is Bayh, I will motherfucking burn their blog down.

  24. Delicious says at 8:20 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Oh yeah, SHUT THAT MOTHERFUCKER DOWN!

  25. Speed Ball says at 8:21 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I read just read that blog and think they should shut it down either way.

  26. jagorev says at 8:24 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    El Bombastico: Relax, the “move” Ambinder reported happened in Biden’s bowels. The man is taking a colossal dump, as we speak. Wolf Blitzer is standing by.

  27. I’m sure glad Toto and I aren’t in Kansas anymore, but if Hell-a-ry gets the nod I’m Canada bound.
    Vancouver’s looking good now, a nice place to watch O throw the election away from.
    My last piece of advice to Barack:
    If somehow Ms. Clinton gets on your ticket, learn to sleep with one eye open.

  28. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:25 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    El Bombastico: Aww, come on! Biden will be able to say everything Hopey can’t.

    We just have to keep Obama healthy, cuz nobody wants to have a Dean Martinesqe presidency.

  29. Godless Liberal * says at 8:25 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    If they really believed their sources, they would promise hari-kari if they were wrong.

  30. Speed Ball says at 8:26 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Has anyone noticed how articulate and clean Joe Biden is.

    Truly stunning.

  31. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:27 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    …this liberal use of the word “MOTHERFUKKA” must be a tribute to Bernie Mac!

    MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,MOTHERFUKKA,

  32. El Bombastico says at 8:27 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: I agree. That came out wrong. I meant I want to kill myself because of retarded media speculation. Clean articulate Joe would be awesome.

  33. Godless Liberal * says at 8:27 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    jagorev: In the Shituation Room?

    No fruit too low-hanging for me, folks.

  34. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:28 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Speed Ball: It would be awesome if Hopey introduced him that way at the convention.

  35. El Bombastico says at 8:30 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Wow, you just FUKKED up my margins on IE. I must have closure on this madness NOW!

  36. columnv says at 8:31 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    his site background is pink, like a ghey.

  37. Delicious says at 8:32 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Now they’re saying the text won’t come out till tomorrow morning. How the fuck are they going to hide the fact that Biden is flying to Illinois?

    Unless that’s another fake in a day of fakes and it’s HILLZ!

  38. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:33 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    El Bombastico: ….hehehehe, FireFox MOTHERFUKKAS!!!

  39. *****BREAKING!******

    Nope, still got nuthin’.

  40. defeatism says at 8:39 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Schadenfried: Can we? YES WE CAN.

  41. Chuck Fildren says at 8:42 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    They even admit that nbc news is reporting that Bayh and Kaine have been informed that it is not them. So crazy right-wing blog or heralded legitimate news organizations. hmmmm … I wonder who’s right.

    I bet their sources are just the guys they buy truck nutz from.

  42. ForTheTurnstiles says at 8:43 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Biden now? Okay, fine, I can deal with Biden at this point. Fine. Just give that motherfucker a decent haircut. That semi-combover puffy thing reminds me of my pedophile uncle.

  43. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:49 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Just not a $500 haircut. We don’t need to hear that shit again.

  44. El Bombastico says at 8:50 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Peggy Noonan would like to strenously disagree.

  45. gliberal says at 8:53 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Motherfuckers can’t evan spell.

  46. El Bombastico says at 8:54 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Here’s what Ambinder is saying now: “Source: text will be sent tomorrow am, a few hrs before Obama speaks in Springfield. 9 minutes ago”

    Goddammit, I need release. I’m off to 29th Street.

  47. loquaciousmusic says at 8:56 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I’ve been watching the Joy Division documentary. Did I not miss anything?

    By the way, Barry, love will tear us apart.

  48. Well, I’ll be fucked.
    They did it.
    It’s gone.

    Ha ha ha ha ha!

    Hate to be off topic, but SNL’s Victoria Jackson has had a Jon Voight moment:

  50. DoctorCulturae says at 9:11 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    My new theory is Hopey is going to pick someone who will be a kind of father figure. Remember he never knew his father. He’ll need someone who’ll be an advisor on international affairs, who’ll know how to make things work on the hill, and is likely to be a rabid dog on the campaign trail. His hand-picked daddy then is likely Biden…. or Gore.

  51. Chuck Fildren says at 9:14 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    touche, stay red kansas, apparently you aren’t total dicks.

  52. Voyou Charmant says at 9:16 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Maybe beer can help. I’ll be back later to let you know.

  53. ForTheTurnstiles says at 9:22 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: Yeah. I’m coming around to this.

    And you’ve been at this since 7am this morning also. Glad I’m not the only one.

  54. ForTheTurnstiles says at 9:24 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    El Bombastico: Er… Peggy Noonan knows my pedophile uncle? Strange days indeed!

    Street Organizer: Well, I’ll be dipped in buttermilk!

    I will SHUT DOWN my fridge if it’s not Limbaugh, folks.

    Liquid: They’ll be back when they get StayInTheClosetKansas.com set up.

  59. Wag Das Hund says at 9:37 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Stay Red, Trucknutz.
    Then get that shit checked out, that aint normal.

  60. Peppy Georgian says at 9:37 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Holy shit. It’s not just me, right? Did they actually shut down their blog?

    Thi sis all very weird, as http://stayredkansas.com still works, but http://blog.stayredkansas.com has a *DNS ERROR,* which I didn’t even know you could shut down that fast. Something is afoot. But maybe it’s just Hope.

  61. museum of folly says at 9:44 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “Firefox can’t find the server at blog.stayredkansas.com.”

    Either they’ve shut or — more likely — they can’t handle the Wonkette traffic.

    They probably meant to register the domain stayredneckkansas.com anyway.

  62. mattbolt says at 9:53 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    They’re running off a free GoDaddy account. If you’re too stingy to even pay a hosting fee, the amount of bandwidth they give you is enough to topple in a slight breeze of hits. Nothing to see here, just a case of exceeded bandwidth. If by morning when it’s plainly clear it’s NOT Bayh (like MSNBC is now saying) we’ll see if the site holds up their end of the bargain.

  63. Bayh is muslamic for convert. He’s the VP Ubama choice. Trust me.

  64. Outstando says at 10:34 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Speed Ball: God, that would be the greatest thing ever, if Obama introduced Biden as clean and articulate.

  65. The 3-Legged Man says at 11:02 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I’m pullin’ for Sarah Palin. Oh boy, am I pullin’ *lascivious wink*.

  66. Oh Crap! If Stay Red Kansas goes down, what will the 5 computer owners (3 can actually use them) in Kansas do with their free time? My guess is online searches for Hogzilla and crystal meth recipes will skyrocket.

  67. Hey Jingo! Yeah, You! Guess what? I’m typing this on an effin computer from the effin middle of effin Kansas!! Yeah Baby, I’m one of the three!! So there!!

    Aaah, I got nuthin.

  68. Scooter says at 1:03 am, August 23rd, 2008

    Yeah and by the way Jingo, we don’t need to Google no damn crystal meth recipes since they’re already printed on the back of our drivers’ licenses. Jeez!

  69. Even Bayh, thoughts abound like butterflies…

  70. Dammit, their blog’s back up.

    I blame ‘Even’ Bayh.
