Here’s video of the Democrats and their evil moderate Republican boyfriend seizing power from the wingnuts yesterday. Look at poor “Jason Mumpower” sob all over his family Bible and laugh, meanly. [Balloon Juice]

Strangely enough, everyone in the Tennessee legislature shares the same father, and the same wife, who happens to also be the collective daughter.
So, he’s speaker and got kicked out of the GOP? He should go play the lottery — it’s obviously his week.
That’s some classic nut-cutting politics right there. Wonder if they could give lessons to the useless Democrats in Congress.
If the GOP kicks him out, doesn’t control of the Tennessee legislature shift effectively back toi the Democrats?
GOP = TEH SMART!
Go Kent! And he should play the lottery this week.
And after they all beat their breasts, heaved their sobs, tore their hair out and consulted their bibles they went out and busted up a few shifarobes.
I would just like to say, “Mumpower”.
Over and over again.
That was fucking A awesome.
Noted Comic Book collector Jason Mumpower should have realized that this classic maneuver came out of Batman #97 when Superman betrayed the Batcave location because Batman hated abortions and taxes to pay for bullshit like roads and sewers.
It’s fine to laugh at the Tennessee Republicans–I have for years–but don’t turn your back on them. They’re mean as snakes and only a couple generations removed from mountain folk.
but does he karaoke ‘walking in memphis’?
CRY MOAR, WINGNUTS
Ha ha, and then Williams gets up and tells them to suck it, and talks about how he loves to play basketball.
It’s just been a schadenfreude-overload for us lately. But I still want more.
[re=218576]Min[/re]: Amen to that. They especially hate us over here in the western (read: Democratic) side of the state.
Also, a CNN headline reads: Indicted Illinois Gov. Blagojevich swears in his state Senate, the same Senate body that will hold an impeachment trial against him.
“Now, you fucking fucks, please take your fucking valuable seats. And fuck you all.”
Wait, why did the Publikins try and nominate Herc from The wire? He lost his stripes! I’d much rather have the awful child basketball player instead, because at least Clay Davis stole all the youth basketball money.
Meh..I pretty much laugh at all Republicans, except when they’re in charge…
I still can’t get over the fact that someone named Mumpower was allowed anywhere near the levers of power. Did his ancestors farm dirt or trap muskrat for a living? Or a little of both…
Lota rentboys yonder gonna get themselves some powerful hate-fucks.
Let the shenanigans in Gatlinburg begin!
“We are going to keep decorum in this house if I have to castrate every niggah in this room to do so! Now hold on a minnit, th’ain’t no niggahs in the room first off…”
All the chandeliers and hand carved wood details look a little bit off when everybody in the room talks like an extra from Hee Haw.
I dunno, that Williams guy looks an awful lot like Joe Lieberman…
Harry Reid really should be taking notes. He’ll probably find himself bent over with his pants around his ankles far less often.
Well I reckon that sure is a perty room they’s in! Even got tha lectric lights! Gimme one dem seats an I’ll vote for Bubba Mumpower for presnent!
$775 billion: Expected cost of the economic stimulus plan.
$1.2 trillion: Projected federal deficit for 2009.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.

[re=218588]TGY[/re]: Blago has Mamet as a speechwriter? “I am here to swear in ‘dis Senate because dat is da ting I am here too DOO.”
[re=218596]Mr Blifil[/re]: Win!
[re=218588]TGY[/re]:
“You fargin’ sneaky bastages. You violated my fargin’ rights. This country was founded to protect the rights of decent, law-abiding citizens, like myself, and not be taken away by a bunch of fargin’ iceholes, like yourselves.”
[re=218601]Alenka[/re]: ARE THERE NO PRISONS? ARE THERE NO ORPHANAGES?
Haha, Williams must turn in his hood and take the oath on his copy of “The Audacity of Hope.”
I wish my politicians talked funny like that. Up here in the Pacific Northwest politics are about as interesting as a PTA meeting.
This is my favorite story, ever. The only way it could be funnier is if Mumpower’s first name was Dick, or Efrain.
what, no sympathy for the poor Republicans thwarted by the evil Democrats and their accursed knowledge of the rules of order? where’s the love?
[re=218596]Mr Blifil[/re]: Actually, Lois DeBerry, the woman Williams voted for as Speaker Pro Tem, is black.
We may still be in-bred racists who thump out Bibles in Tennessee, but as long as Memphis is the largest city in West Tennessee (and Northern Mississippi), there will be black representation in the Tennessee General Assembly.
I read that as “Jason Powerbottom.”
[re=218601]Alenka[/re]: What does all that come to in whore diamonds?
“You may have won this round, Demo-cats, but I’ll be back! No one vanquishes MUM-POWER the Ever-Living!”
[re=218615]Min[/re]: Hope springs eternal. I keep waiting for the day that Memphis either secedes and joins Mississippi or a bunch of hicks from Johnson City come down I-40 and turn the Tennessee River into a moat that separates them from us.
“You got a [fuckin'] problem with me being speaker [you prick]?”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09aLA6xt-DU
Just awesome. Kent Williams is my hero.
[re=218615]Min[/re]: I never meant to suggest that race relations in Tennessee are in anything other than tip-top shape.
I nominate this story for Best Adapted Screenplay. Beats anything I’ve seen lately from Hollywood.
…nothing more fun than watching Republicans bitch and moan about something they can change. Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!
Henceforth he shall be known as Mimey Mumpower.
[re=218624]Mr Blifil[/re]: Relatively speaking…
[re=218605]shortsshortsshorts[/re]:
Well spoken Ebenezer Shorts!
[re=218622]TJBeck[/re]: THANK YOU! Awesome video.
Every HA! is as sweet as a cherry in my mouth. Or a free abortion.
I love the links to Sara’s NBC blog posts. Nobody gets the jokes, and the people that do get them, hate them. It’s almost like watching Andy Kaufman again.
[re=218598]MARCdMan[/re]: “Harry Reid really should be taking notes. He’ll probably find himself bent over with his pants around his ankles far less often.”
What, you want him to get *better* at promoting Republican causes?!
…you gotta love Guerrilla Politics! Harry Reid totally would have bent over and taken it up the ass; no questions asked!
[re=218622]TJBeck[/re]: HA @ that video. “I got a big problem with you being speaker.” “Good.”
[re=218637]Maus[/re]: Heavens no, he should be smarter about pwning them more often, getting assfucked by them less often.
This was a very grainy video, but it appeared they have buildings in TN. Good for them!
[re=218604]Servo[/re]: Oh man, a Johnny Dangerously reference, that is fantastic.
In backwoods Tennessee dialect, “mum” translates to “white.”
Reminds me of the infamous 1988 Westchester College Kappa Nu fraternity coup de tat orchestrated by Billy Benfour ousting Rod Turnsdale as social chair. IIRC, the house was almost evenly, and bitterly, divided…in large measure because of differences in how to spend out the kegger fund at the end of term.
[re=218620]StrangelyBrown[/re]:
That was pretty awesome. Kudos.
Um, that Schadenfreude Nation piece was supposed to be read sarcastically, right? Because, you do realize that the mean spirited bastard demographic constitutes 100% of you readership, right?
[re=218622]TJBeck[/re]: The only problem with that vid is that they identify Kelsey as being from Memphis. For the record, this tard is from our elitist horse farm suburb, Germantown.
[re=218630]Theodorick Of York[/re]: He’s asking for a visit from Bob Marley’s ghost or whomever.
I am slightly less terrified about moving to Nashville this summer.
Republican Fail Clowns! Hah, hah, hah. I love the Youtube video of the “you gotta problem” exchange.
[re=218677]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Is he related to Dan Qualye?
[re=218601]Alenka[/re]: Profit.
[re=218682]SkimLatteModerate[/re]: It isn’t Nashville you have to worry about. Nashville’s pretty blue. East Tennessee, OTOH, is the Land That Time Forgot.
[re=218688]TJBeck[/re]: Hard to say. But he sho does have a purty mouth. I’m sure he’ll be snared in another toe-tapping imbroglio before long (probably at the I-55 rest stop outside Grenada, Mississippi).
The day a million simultaneous debate-nerd-gasms were born.
[re=218699]Min[/re]: This is what I’ve heard. Then again, I’m coming from Canada City, and am a “coloured”, so I’m not even sure if I’d be allowed outside the city borders.
[re=218640]MARCdMan[/re]: “Heavens no, he should be smarter about pwning them more often, getting assfucked by them less often.”
When I hear about Reid being more politically receptive, I assume he’s taking yoga classes to improve the “catch”.
I’m a little optimistic this time, though. Just a tad.
This video is going to be my bedtime fapping material for the next month.
LOL, LOL, LOLz.
The NBC News website describes Wonkette as “a scholarly online journal”. They obviously aren’t around for all teh gay and poop and cactus-penis picture jokes.
News Channel 5 HD my ass. Dear YouTubez uploader, can we get at least 3 pixels per face.
This is exactly like in pro wrestling where one of the good guys is getting his ass kicked by the bad guys and needs to tag out, only to have his partner turn on him and refuse to make the tag, leaving him at the mercy of the bad guys. Now can someone please hit Mumpower in the head with a steel chair?
Please do us a favoeur. As a native Tennessean, I’d greatly appreciate the “yokel” references and “redneck” pejoratives to be kept to a minimum. We’ve come a long way in our struggle out of the wilderness, and some of us have goals and aspirations that follow the pursuit of science, regardless of its struggle with faith.
I may grow a garden, but I don’t shovel shit. There’s not a lick of Nascar merchandise anywhere near my house, and two of our three cars are imports. My child is a free-thinker, taught by her first-generation free-thinking father (I immigrated from Pentecostalism!)
You may continue to peck and highlight the rampant stupidity of that Sullivan County slickhead, however. On the Western end of the state, we think more clearly. Well, some of us, anyway.
[re=218745]SkimLatteModerate[/re]: Not to worry. You will be, but for God’s sake don’t speed anywhere outside the city limits.

I was promised footage of Mumpower sobbing into his Bible! Where is that!? I demand to see it!
[re=218822]Chickensmack[/re]: Usually I’d offer the typical “eat a bag of dicks” response but I happen to agree with you. I, myself, do my best to avoid those terms as I think it’s just kind of mean to stereotype somebody based on their geographic location. I sure as shit get sick of being called a “Seattle liberal” because I happen to be a card carrying, cock smoking Young Republican, also.
That being said the tag “dinguses” is entirely fitting.
O hai guyz, I kan be Speakerz of teh Tennesseez Hause?
[re=218622]TJBeck[/re]: HA HA HA HA HA HA, and HA again.
“Would you like to do it? Yer my buddy!”
Nervous, quavery-voiced Republican state representatives trying to out-parliamentary procedure a seasoned good ol’ boy, ftw!
Oh, I like this movie. I watch it over and over and over again.
Man of the hour, Jason Mumpower,
Listen to the sizzle of yer fryin’ brain.
You know it’s been some, forty years
But now’s yer time to cry in yer beers.
Williams step on yer poor head,
When you get back you better butter his bread.
Well, you know it’s like they said,
Williams handed Mumpsy his head.
[re=218822]Chickensmack[/re]: I am a Tennessee transplant, by which I mean I grew up everywhere else, and then moved to Tennessee a dozen-ish years ago. I am fortunate, by virtue of my job, to work with native Tennesseans every day.
And, by and large, the state’s natives are unreformed, unrepentant yokels. Sure, there are outliers here and there, but the influx of we outsiders have improved this state in many, many ways.
Unfortunately, those of us who were Republicans in our home states do not yet understand Tennessee Republicanism.
And we Democrats from elsewhere are just fucked.
pwned.
Hearing the weak, shivering boos and whimpers from the thwarted Republicans is akin to drinking an indescribably delicious, super-powerful aphrodisiac elixir and experiencing 36 explosive orgasms in a row simply from a gentle breeze that entered into the room.
Further proof that the entire South should be excised from this nation like the toooomer that it is. We can let Williams in, though, with us. Bolt the doors.
There is nothing wrong with being a Hog farmer. It is hard work and takes skill to make a living at it. If you will look on our state seal the words Commerce and Agriculture. Please do not make fun of Hog Farmers.
Mumpower bears a striking resemblance to Joe the Journalist, erm, Joe the Plumber.

[re=218822]Chickensmack[/re]: Sorry, dude, but that’s the deal if you live in Tennessee. But look on the bright side: you are not going to be accused of being a communist pinko fag traitor librul mexican jew muslin. Also, you are a real American. Remember, we trade in ill-informed stereotypes all across this great land–it’s part of our alikeness!
OK, if Williams is kicked out of the Republican party and becomes a Democrat, then the house will revert to a Democratic majority once again, leaving only the illusion of a massive Republican win.
Good to see that Republicans have mastered snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
