- Frank Luntz made some depressing jokes about Blackberrys and Stevie Wonder and at the Republican Governor’s Beach Week thing. These jokes did elicit “scattered laughs”—which Ignited the Base—and therefore Stevie Wonder/A BlackBerry Curve will be your 2012 GOP ticket. [Jonathan Martin]
- Norm Coleman’s finances are going to be investigated, illegal gifts in the late Stevensian style or somesuch; Coleman says he is “eager” to be probed. [CNN Political Ticker]
- Sarah Palin will run for Senate, in the future or whenever really, like if there’s a special election. Obviously, immediately after Palin said this, the GOP Senatorial Committee denied that this is a possibility. [Politico]
- The mystery of who said that illegal thing about Obama’s immigrant aunt is solved! But the identity of “the Bob Novak” will remain shrouded in secrecy, forever. [TPMMuckraker]
- Saul Anuzis is running for RNC Chair, and he has a sign that manages to glow in the dark, on the Internet, to prove it. [Marc Ambinder]

Coleman says he is “eager” to be probed.
Hmmm…. wouldn’t have figured him for a bottom.
So Sarah Palin sez: “I believe that I have — I feel I have a contract with Alaskans to serve. I’ve got two more years in my term. I’m going to serve Alaskans to the best of my ability.” funny how that didn’t come up when she agreed to run for veep….
Serolf Divad: This is what’s sneaky about that conservative hot-bottom agenda. You just never suspect it…
Stevie Wonder? Are Helen Keller gags no longer hip at GOP events?
If he had any, I think it would be lots of fun to kick Frank Luntz in the balls.
But the identity of “the Bob Novak” will remain shrouded in secrecy, forever.
Only in Dubya’s America does an investigation conclude successfully when no further enlightenment occurs. I am not going to miss this epoch.
If they realy want to ignite the base, I suggest using a molotov cocktail.
RNC Chair ANUZIS? That’s a gift that will keep on giving.
Uh oh. Look out Republicans. There’s a door plower lurking out there and the driver is an idiot.
I’m holding out for Bruce Springsteen/next gen iPhone in 2016.
and this just in, Sarah Palin announces she wants the senate seat so bad that she is willing to pal around with those who pal around with known terrorists to get it: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/12/palin/index.html
JohnnyMeatworth: How she manages to babble on with my Truck Nutz firmly lodged in her throat, is beyond me.
bitchincamaro: What definition of maverick don’t you understand?
JohnnyMeatworth:
My brain is not programmed to reconcile such hypocracy.
facehead: Long Live TruckNutz!
Please reporters cover the cover-up of our ideas and our votes disappearing. You finally care about Alaska, care about the NUTZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Boy, will Luntz feel bad when it’s revealed that McCain … never … learned … to read. (Sob!)
“I am not one to appoint myself or a member of my family to take the place of any vacancy.”
What the hell is she THINKING? Aaaaaaaah!
“They [Republitard governors such as Palin] would be willing also to seize this opportunity that we have to progress this nation together, in a united front.”
I know there will come a day that I’ll miss the complete inanity that is Caribou Barbie. That time has not yet come. STFU, sweetie. We won. I’m sure there’s a baby to birth or a moose to shoot, somewhere. Go. Away.
If Coleman is “eager to be probed” then surely it would only be fitting that George Galloway did the probing. Sort of did already admittedly, but it was fun to watch the first time around.
Obama’s election is great for BlackBerry because “Black Barry”. get it?

Saul Anuzis: Change You Can Believe In
“And we were once the party that had convinced America that we ‘shared their values’. But when Republican after Republican [who?] was exposed as a hypocrite that said one thing on the campaign trail and behaved a different way in their personal life, America lost faith in our party.”
“We must be the party that believes there is a place for God in our society. That we were founded on Judeo-Christian values that provided us with the foundation for our unique form of government.”
You go, Saul. Hitch a ride on Bible Spice’s petticoat.
facehead: I’m flagging the Paultard ones, the “embrace science” one, and all of the ones that say “reach” as inappropriate. Maybe that will get them off our trail for a little while…
kwame,
my thoughts exactly. a name that looks like “Anuses” and “U Nazis” at the same time?!?! Christmas has come early.
Palin was attending the annual Republican Governors Association convention in Miami, Florida.
OK, who’s got the camera — I wanna see the poolside pics stat!
TGY: A few years ago Governor Murkowski appointed his daughter (still serving!) to the Senate to fill his own seat (lulz). This caused an uproar, even in the generally corrupt den of Alaska, and now Alaskan’s have to have special elections for vacancies. The end.
JohnnyMeatworth: “That’s an association [Ayers/Obama] that still bothers me…”
In the same way that rumored association between Palin’s brain and her mouth still bothers me.
MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: Don’t make fun of this kind of nepotism so soon. Joe Biden’s son Bo or Beau or whatever is supposedly a strong contender for the job.
spencer: I am ashamed and horrified to even KNOW the details of this Alaskan bullsh!t. This fucking election!
I also plan on making fun of Delaware should they decide that rampant nepotism is the way to go. It’s never too soon to start.
Serolf Divad: Dude, he’s a republican senator. Of course he’s eager to be probed. It’s hardly even worth mentioning!
S.Luggo:
“That we were founded on Judeo-Christian values that provided us with the foundation for our unique form of government.”
“Founded” on a “foundation”, eh? This Salvatore Anus-Nazi sure sounds like also how Sarah Palin talks, as in, the Iraq.
MedianHater: If enough people flag everything above TRUCK NUTZ/RON PAUL ‘09! REVOLUTIONUTZ!!!, it should end up in first place for a bit. It’s much less time consuming to flag than it is to vote, although now I wish I’d kept some of the login details for my various identities (or not used fake email addresses).
This is just getting to be too much. The guy is running for the house as a repug, and his NAME is MORAN.
You can’t make this shit up.
dotdotdotdotdot: whoops, forgot the link
http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3924
dotdotdotdotdot: Today we are all Morans.
I think it’s a shame that La Jeune Fille de Juneau doesn’t have her own on-line diary. I’d love her reports from the Governors’ Conference.
Someone’s hacked the rebuildtheparty site. The banner keeps changing in delightful ways, with the words (grunts?) ëh eh eh in the upper right. I think it’s an improvement.
Ok… which one of you pranksters hacked the nice repubs interwebbing?
http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/
The flowers make my trucknutz look a tad big, but a nice touch all the same.
facehead: Did you also get the aborigines sticking out their tongues, and the “eh eh eh” in the corner?
The last time I checked, the language spoken in the Senate was English.
Before Sarah appoints herself Senator, she should learn to speak some form of English.
Other than that, she’s not qualified to run in a 3-legged sack race.
honore de ballsack: I still have the “eh eh eh” in the corner, but my pic was some sort of flower, possibly a succulent though I hate to speculate.
It seems fixed now, but the “eh eh ehe” is still there (and methinks that wasn’t intended as a quote from Reagan).
facehead: I had enough presence of mind to do a screen cap with the flower: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/3025434145_a0c25f7e3a_o.jpg but was laughing too hard when the aborigines showed up. Too bad, as it definitely added a touch of class that site desperately needs.
I can’t wait until Coleman goes to jail!
autoclavicle:
In the perfect world Coleman wins the re-count by one vote and wakes up to find he’s indicted. He is then convicted loses his seat and Al Franken is appointed to fill out his term.
Coleman announces he is willing to be probed on the same day that Mark Foley is back in the news: Coincidence, I think not!!
So, the Repubs may be led by an Anus Nazim and how is that news???
obfuscator: Perhaps Anuzis was once in construction.
As Kwame has subtly intimated, if Anuzis is elected RNC Chairtroll, there be unbounded comedy gold to follow.
BTW: Anuzis is Lithuanian for those quaintly compensatory, homoerotic, faux semem sacks hung such as those on the tow hitch of Ram Chargers (no accident that) traversing the child-abduction byways of the South. Or, I must qualify, so my research suggests.
One of the unforeseen benefits of Hopemaster’s election will be years of tasteless racial jokes by Repubspigots trying desperately to make a point or get some attention. It will rally the base alright, Hopey’s base.
Saul Anuzis just presided over one of the most disasterous elections for Republicans in Michigan ever. The GOP lost counties that they had won in the past and had lackluster showings in areas in which they had dominated.
Sounds like just the guy to lead the national GOP.
autoclavicle: Me too, he’s gonna get rehabilitated so hard.
WhatTheHeck: “not qualified to run in a 3-legged sack race.” ’cause she’s a chick? Foley woulda done it.
The RNC can start clinging to Crackberrys for political relevance and salvation but the standard GOP message (now Palin-flava’d) they’ll deliver through the Interwebs is still a steaming pile.
And will be for some time to come…forever!
Anuzis = Secret Lithuanian Muslin Nazi Anubis?
How about Frank Luntz’s Hairpiece/A Sack of Manure for the GOP in ‘12? If the literal sack of manure does not meet Constitutional requirements, replace with metaphorical sack of manure John Kyl.
From the Luntz article: “Noting that Obama has an e-mail list of 10 million voters, Luntz said that coalition “makes him and his supporters the most powerful special interest group in all of America.”"
Damn those special interests, like the president who got voted into office and all those damn kids who voted for him. AMERICA’S NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK THIS WAY!!!!!!!
