Wonkette
Wonkette videographer and local hero Liz Glover covered an Obama rally Wednesday in Leesburg, a rich person’s town in Northern Virginia. Who cares what Obama said — probably HOPE HOPE HOPE BLAH PFFT — Liz was more interested in the McCain-Palin fans who showed up just to stare at all of the liberals. Here’s one fella she met, a professional in the very reckless industry that is currently destroying the global economy, thanks. He is worried about “Socialism” and hates all of the Illegal Mexicans with whom he, uh, works. [YouTube]
REAL 'MURKINS
I’ve sort of lost track…he’s from NOVA, right?
Now is that pro-American or anti-American?
gave him just enough rope to hang himself–nice!
That accent of his is Cincinnati all the way. I call bullshit on his story.
At least he got his shout-out to V-Tech in there.
Bottom line, uh, bottom line… bottom line—Mexicans should be deported…… unless they help with my website.
It never ceases to amaze me how worked up Republicans get thinking about our nation reverting back to the evil socialist tax rates we had under state dictators such as Reagan, Bush (I) and Clinton.
He’s a male Palin. He’s a Malin.
He’s lived in fake Virginia all his life and he wants me to listen to what he has to say? Go back to Waziristan, America hater!
blader: That’s Commie country, according to Joe McCain (who cursed out the 911 operator because of traffic in said Commie country).
He’s been fired and laid off? He must suck at his job, then.
The world needs stronger soap.
He looks a little like Lee Greenwood. Thank goodness he won’t let facts get in the way of his McCain-lust.
Dave J.: nah, it is a NoVa area accent. Similar to DC/Suburban Md accent
When the Revolution comes, I reserve his compulsory service for myself. Will he polish my marble bust of Patrice Lumumba, or press my Mao suits? I cannot decide.
Behind the shades, he was sooooo hitting on our Liz. I smellz testosterone.
loquaciousmusic: WIN.
Can’t you guys pony up for a new microphone for Liz? She’s attracting stray dogs everywhere.
Styrofoam Boots: Yeah, ‘day laborer’ definitely means ‘web site designer’ in TX.
Doglessliberal: Yeah, that is Maryland all the way… he is like Ehrlich’s secret twin.
Dey took our jeeeerbs!
Doglessliberal: Ah well, I’m an elitist left-coaster. I’ve only been to Ohio once, and that was as far East as I’ve ever been.
Pie in face?
Dear god, why is he embarrassing my college?
loquaciousmusic: What’s even worse is that he says he’s a small business owner. If you’ve been fired and laid off from your own small business, then you’re a failure on a level I’m hard-pressed to describe.
so AOL programmers have taken to hanging out in the 7-Eleven parking lots of Leesburg now? I suspect he’ll be all for nuking Bangalore or Pakistan or wherever, too
The circa-1975 socialite burnout sunglasses are unforgivable. Sadly, I’m referring to Liz. It’s the opposite of putting lipstick on a pig–it’s like smearing Velveeta on a kitten. Must Not Do!
Jim Newell: yup, like the poor stepchild of the Philly accent
Dave J.: you could do a whole accent tour from Maine to Georgia along the coast and be amazed at the variety. You have about 6 in Virginia alone. There’s a pocket of Va people in the Northern Neck who sound like Canadians (”aboot”)
I don’t think I believe he ever made $370,000 a year and $70 the next year.
God damn that Socialism, like when a state funds and runs an educational institution, like Virginia Tech…oh…nevermind…
edgydrifter: I have to admit that I have smeared Velveeta on a kitten. That kitten furiously tried to lick that Velveeta, but the other kittens did a better job of it, finding poor Velveetakins suddenly very interesting. They all seemed to enjoy it, so I don’t feel guilty, and I feel guilty pretty easily.
I live in Leesburg, VA and I went to the rally at Ida Lee Park (it was great!). This guy is yet another Loudoun County developer who was busy running this town into the ground (with the help of the Republican Board of Supervisors)during the boom years. Now that a slow-growth board has been elected, he’s pissed off that his gravy train has derailed. That isn’t Obama’s fault, pal. It’s the fault of people like you who thought the real estate boom would never end and didn’t plan ahead. The roads are gridlocked, the schools are over-crowded and people got tired of their property taxes going up and up and up. All bubbles burst, sooner or later, and everyone who’s going to last in real estate ought to know it.
BTW, there were about 20,000 Obama supporters in Leesburg and maybe 25-30 McCain protesters at this rally. Leesburg isn’t a big town and this is an incredible number of people. Both the Obama campaign and the locals did a great job in handling it all.
“I’m a small business owner. I mowed my neighbor’s lawn once, he paid me a sawbuck, and I filed schedule C.”
Whatta fuckin’ douche. “I got laid off, rode the real estate bubble, screwed/was screwed by everything, and it’s all the socialists’ and the messicans’ fault.”
“I don’t belong to an organization, I am just another independent tool for the McCain campaign.” This dude wins the douche of the week award.
Uncle Al: yeah, I had a bit of trouble with that one, too. And he made $21K his first year of college? I’d like to know his secret. I owed about that for my first year of college.
Neon Trotsky: Careful, you might break his brain with your nasty old “logic” and “facts”
You use Mexicans for web design? I can almost see giving undocumented workers jobs like picking cabbage as falling under the pretense that “no one else is willing”, but now web design? You’re going to force every white male who smells like Cheetos and ass-sweat into the unemployment line. And you say you love this country.
DangerousLiberal: ” This dude wins the douche of the week award.” And this week, that is saying a hell of a lot!
DangerousLiberal: “I’m just another independent tool for the McCain campaign…”
LEMME GUESS— He’s a gonna git a robbed by a black guy.
Meh. Douche. He’ll be happy when Obama gives him affordable healthcare.
Fired and laid off much? I wouldn’t hire him. I bet if congress signed and sent him a nice big check of socialism, he’d take it.
Ahem, if it weren’t for that Fannie/Freddy socialist thing, homebuilders would have gotten a third of the work they got in the boom. I wonder where the NAHB was in all of this.
Larry McAwful: I can’t stop giggle at the thought of velveetakins. Thank you.
So scrambly!
So is he the only real estate guy who doesn’t use cheap illegal labor to mow lawns, trim hedges and paint? Because I’ve never heard of anyone else forsaking the cheap stuff for the more expensive home grown variety. Maybe that’s why he’s not making any money this year — he’s just got too much darn integrity.
Didn’t he pretty much Mrs Mooseburger? Do they have the same handlers?
Styrofoam Boots: Fucking Mexicans. First they stole my $50/hour lettuce picking job. Now they’re stealing my best html design jobs. I draw the line at Flash development. Them libruls and illegals can take my my Flash CS4 when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
They have illegals in Virginia?
Liz made him stammer.
JDHART: Aww, I was there too. Now we are connected forever by 29,998 other people.
P.S. Traffic fucking blew. Thanks.
natoslug: I heard they’re teaching Ruby on Rails at the border now. We’re all doomed.
I worked temp labor one weekend alongside a bunch of illegals and I was utterly bushed after 3 hours. There is utterly no way you’re gonna find a US American able to keep up with these dudes. They’re tuff.
He has an engineering degree from one of the finest engineering schools in nation but yet has chosen to go into real estate. Interesting.
I’ll consider this my daily reminder that no matter how “blue” VA is trending, I will keep my family and home safely in the district of columbia until, alas, I move to the MARYLAND suburbs.
Word to MD.
He reminds me of that dog that totally molested Liz’s microphone.
@edgydrifter. i know those glasses aren’t the greatest. i’m sorry. but i lost all my other shades and i didn’t want to get spit in my eyes when i was interviewing that guy.
velveeta makes a delicious con queso dip, btw, when you add a can of ro-tel tomatoes and some jalepeno peppers and heat. it was a popular dish during the 70s. it’s fondue-like texture makes for good kitten-coating.
“I’m not with any organization…”
Except for the Log Cabin Republicans, that is.
Styrofoam Boots: I’m safe — my last 4 accounts were for companies in either Spain or Mexico. I’m not sure why they needed a gringo developer completely unable to QA anything in Spanish, but what the hell. It’s people like me that drive them here to take the jobs of people like me. I think I may have a problem in my loop . . .
@borat - sarah the cnn politics dog! if you like the canines, here’s a dog named ludwig i met at the tune inn with jim after the mother jones party - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0gFtDFbCKg it’s too long but lud was so talented i had trouble cutting it down.
What happens to this gentleman’s brain in the final 15 seconds of the interview?
That state paid degree from Virginia Tech’s socialism only when Macaca gets his degree, cum laude, from there.
nice ken!

wow, what a silver tongue this man has. cognitive, some such, mescan web design, WTF? i think this fits into the larger death-rattle of the republican party. i like to watch.
natoslug: I have a Mexicano business partner—I think he’s stealing from me. I called 1-888-GIT-MEXI but the treated me as if I was Joe McCain calling 911. Fuck those fucking fuckers.
heh heh
ken will take on drudge any day.

@styrofoam boots - try 877. maybe that’ll work.
the guy closed with Sarah Palin’s talking points; and stayed right on message, I might add…
lizglover: I’m pretty sure it’s 900.
Doglessliberal:
And that’s saying something because this was a fairly douche-heavy week
MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: agreed. Shameful, it is.
I sympathize with this poor slob.
Out here in the Bay Brea Food Not Bombs is reporting there have been a significant number of real estate agents showing up in the food lines.
You see their vacant stares as they roam about listlessly with their grocery carts all filled with shark skin suits, satin sheets, Rolexes, and rolladexes.
Brother can you spare a Ten?
What’s “cognitive illegal immigration”? Is he thinking of cognitive therapy, which he obvs needs, posthaste?
LOVE THE GLASSES, LIZ!
King Rinzy of Rohan: I’m thinking more (note Republican) Mike Krzyzewski — yes, I can spell that from memory; I’m not Polish, but I’m from Milwaukee* — & am wondering when Coach K aka Ratface moved over to Virginia Tech.
*The best bitters joke I ever heard, from my one-time seminarian uncle who marched with James Groppi, relates to the equal housing marches in my fair burg in the late 60s:
Q: What’s the longest bridge in the world?
A: The 27th Street Viaduct — it connects Africa to Poland.
(& for me, what makes it really stand out, is that a lot of those Old Polish Bitters are now grandparents & great-grandparents to half-Mexican &/or half-black kids. Must be a real touch row to hoe, not hating on Junior.)
lizglover: Well, I’ve seen evidence of you getting within cootie range of Carville, Kissinger and an entire platoon of Libertarian blimp hustlers, so I understand you frequently brave occupational hazards that few of us will ever face. I should have thought of that before criticizing your Jackie O. goggles. My apologies.
A fourth-degree Neel Kashkari-wannabe hack, by the looks of him…except Kashkari has problem-solving chops out the ying-yang (but Neel will still EPIK PHAIL because his industry’s plutonium-grade toxicity financial vehicles have gone full frankentard). Likely VT Civ Eng B.S. grad. No theoretical maths. Minimal Comp Sci. Any engineering chops he had are sorely outdated/outmoded/obsolete.
Excelled at rote memorization of amortization schedules. Likely steered people into the shite ARMs/NINJA loan products, at full commission during the bubble salad days. Opportunist, not a business builder.
Also, does not qualify for the Glengarry leads. Coffee is for closers, numbnuts!
P.S. Should be strung up, along with Angelo Mozilo and his criminals…
Four different jobs in nine years? WTF? I’d only hire him as a day laborer. And the real estate thing, I’ve noticed is what sour grapes in middle life wind up doing when they don’t want anyone telling them to get out of the f*@king gym and get back to work. A little princess-like too.
Yet another McCain math whiz who doesn’t understand the difference between “gross” and “net?”
“yeah, we should like shore up the borders and stuff” WTF? WE should have done THAT about.. oh, I don’t know… about 500 some odd years ago. Maybe we’d own more than a Casino or two. Brown people sure have to hyper succeed to accomplish ANY thing in this joint. Jim Thorpe and Jesse Owens can attest to that noise. It’s time we have a black President we can despise and blame everything on! This guy’s hamster wheel needs greasin’.
You know what, at least this guy’s not a total nuts. He’s pretending to support McCain for actual reasons, though they may be misguided. At least he’s not one of those weirdos yelling about Muslin and communism.
Lousy Job history, doesn’t know Va Tech is “Public’ needs some Mexicans for web site maintenance… fake Virginian…probably shouldn’t get Health Insurance with his “Day-job”
