MAN does it suck to be in the Congressional minority leadership, especially when you’re the Republicans and you’ve got enraged Bitters calling your office and screaming the latest pitchfork-mob chants from Limbaugh every waking second, for no reason. The RedState blog has its own way of endlessly prodding: stunts. Hyper-masculine, masturbatory war stunts with PHOTOSHOP logos. The most ongoing of these is the “Red State Strike Force,” a juiced-up, earnest nickname for what is basically… an e-mail list. And here’s the latest, where you mail Mitch McConnell some “balls,” like “golf balls,” because there is nothing secretly gay about a BADASS STUNT where you mail gross, old Mitch McConnell a pretend set of testicles.

Mission: Locate any items that could resemble a “pair” if you catch the drift–

(PSST: LIKE A NUTSACK)

–and ship them to Mitch McConnell with a your opinion about the apparent lack of will to take a serious stand on issues important to the movement.

These items could be golf balls, novelty items (think Spencers, eBay, Amazon for inspiration), or real items such as various “dried scrotum” products found in grocery stores (make sure we can actually ship this sort of thing first). RedState has a good set of balls for sale here.

Be creative, be blunt, but most importantly… be specific in your message as to why you’re helping out by sending these.

(We’ll gladly post an video, audio, or pictures you take of this)

We look forward to the videos of “dried scrotums” people post on RedState. Sort of. Not at all.

WTF no Trucknutz?!?

Fivetree January 30, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Mmmmmm mmmmm mmm. Dried scrotums.

loquaciousmusic January 30, 2009 at 4:23 pm

What, are they selling their own version of you-know-what-NUTZ?!

Mel_David January 30, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Oh hey how about TRUCKNUTZ?

Advocatus_Diaboli January 30, 2009 at 4:24 pm

They should sent Mitch a chin while they’re at it.

It would have the added benefit of giving him someplace to rest all the trucknutz he’s sure to receive.

StrangelyBrown January 30, 2009 at 4:24 pm

This smacks of some kind of TRUCKNUTZ viral marketing scheme.

Cape Clod January 30, 2009 at 4:25 pm

‘or real items such as various “dried scrotum” products found in grocery stores’

Where the fuck are these guys shopping?

shanemacgowan January 30, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Now Redstate has trucknutz references.

iwillsavethispatient January 30, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Hmm… I’ve got something they might find useful on the back of my Truck.

Texan Bulldoggette January 30, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Sounds like now is a good time to invest in the company who produces ‘neuticles’. Oh wait, maybe Mitch already has those. BTW: it’s delicious when they turn on their own.

Tony Wonder January 30, 2009 at 4:26 pm

He doesn’t need testicles. He needs a home to crawl back into since he looks like a poor lil’ turtle that lost his shell.

AngryBlakGuy January 30, 2009 at 4:26 pm

…I’m sure Mitch McConnell is no stranger to getting bombarded by balls! He is a Rethuglican after all!

qwerty42 January 30, 2009 at 4:26 pm

Hilzoy talks about this at Obsidian Wings. One of the commenters posts this:
“Among the novelty items RS suggests sending are “truck balls” – cast plastic scroti suitable for hanging from the back bumper of one’s truck.”
TRUCK NUTZ!!! FTW!!!

So have their heads exploded now that “moderate” Maryland Republican Steele is charge? This is going to be fun.

What the fuck is he talking about? What do you Merkin people sell in your stores?!

It’s not his fault he’s a Ballchinian. THIS is what happens when your balls are entirely contained in your chin.

vintageways January 30, 2009 at 4:32 pm

I think someone wants to unload their bulk TruckNutz.

mercure January 30, 2009 at 4:34 pm

Since he-man, overtly hyper-masculine types are Republicans only as a cover for their self-loathing homosexuality, it’s obvious that the whole point of doing this can be found in their following solicitation:

Cicada January 30, 2009 at 4:39 pm

It’s too easy to imagine McConnell’s sad little chin wobbling in dismay as he opens box after box of dried scrotums. Why can’t they pick on someone with a strong, manly jawline, like Anne Coulter?

AliBabaInBA January 30, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Kinda hard to tell from that photo. Is Mitch tryin’ to hide his balls, swallow ‘em, or cough ‘em up?
Heck, judging by the look on his face, there not even his.

rag January 30, 2009 at 4:41 pm

Man, we so called it! Wonkette now runs ALL REPUBLICAN IDEAS, and those ideas are TRUCKNUTZZ!

SayItWithWookies January 30, 2009 at 4:42 pm

Sending dried scrotums to Republicans is the new coals to Newcastle.

digibal235 January 30, 2009 at 4:42 pm

How ’bout I mail him some dry white powder instead?

Monsieur Grumpe January 30, 2009 at 4:42 pm

Mr Grumpy’s money saving hint of the day!

Golf balls are expensive and these days money is tighter than the waiting list for Dick Cheney’s torture chamber. Instead of sending two balls, try sending one while making some reference to Hitler’s gonads. Not only will you be more offensive, you’ll save enough money to take your date to McDonalds and super size those fries.

Isn’t sending stuff to your Senator something that COMMIES do?! Smaller government!!?!!

CorkPopper January 30, 2009 at 4:47 pm

I hate to sound like a PUMA for a moment here, but…OMG this is unbelievably offensive. I would like to “take a serious stand”, in high heels, on each of their nutsacks to demonstrate what non-testicled Americans think of the implication of their gross stunt.

On the other hand, keep it up, RedState! Way to make that tent bigger!

mercure January 30, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Oh, and other thing I missed mentioning: “RedState has a good set of balls for sale here.”

Obviously this is all just a front for conservative gay prostitution…

shanemacgowan January 30, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Forget testicles. Could someone please send him a chin?

bitchincamaro January 30, 2009 at 4:49 pm

[re=233185]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Win + Trucknutz!

chascates January 30, 2009 at 4:52 pm

He needs an actual chin as well but I don’t understand the problem. He is being a horses’ ass and blocks everything the Democrats try to do. He and Boehner are willing to run the country up on a shoal rather than allow anything relief for the working- and middle-classes.
I guess the Paultards are going to hang in there like the PUManiacs.

hmmm. Dried scrotum served in teabags for fullest flavor.

Mustang January 30, 2009 at 4:57 pm

Jim Newell — You are making this up. This is too outrageous and disgusting. You have to stop, because people might think you are serious, and then they have to think about Mitch McConnell and balls in the same thought. Do you see why that’s bad? Okay, I’m glad we had this talk.

S.Luggo January 30, 2009 at 5:29 pm

Hey, maroons. Mitch is not feelin’ the love from the Red Staters (hence, their ‘send McConnell some balls’ campaign) because, unlike John “Leather Face” Boehner, he is not willing to do a kamakazi on Barry’s Stimulus Plan. Yet.

Fly Over Girl January 30, 2009 at 5:44 pm

If this campaign was run by BHO and Plouffe, they’d ask me to donate $35. In return, I’d get a free set of TRUCKNUTZ with the Obama-Pepsi logo on them.

ManchuCandidate January 30, 2009 at 5:48 pm

Damn, I’m hoping that those in Red State Trike Force will do a “Van Gogh” and send them their balls so there is no possibility/danger of procreation.

[re=233248]One Yield Regular[/re]: With their undescended testicles, the Red Staters will find making such a contribution to the unfortunate Mitch an almost impossible chore. What will be needed to extract their little guys for severing is a hemostat (or chrome speculum) kept in an Amana freezer overnight and two yards nylon fishing line. Volunteers?

(Or we could have K. Lopez apply her extraodinary oral talents to vacuum them little buggers out.)

But, but, but Mitch is the Big Slider, the Grand Stinkpot. He did launcheth wars, and verily he has screweth minorities and laid waste to the poor. So if we hate him, it is surely because he LOVES TAXES, and so we must LOP OFF HIS NADS AND MOUNT THEM ON A CROSS OF DOGWOOD! And through his sacrifice we shall be cleansed, and we shall prevail in 2010. So sayeth St. Ronnie, who shitteth at the right hand of the lord, amen.

I can’t decide whether McConnell looks more like a maggot or an albino tortoise. Because I have love for all animals and he is so repellant I might have to go with the maggot.

I also agree with the person who stated earlier that they ought to be sending him chin implants or new jaw bones, not balls.

Let me get this straight.

These guys have named themselves the “Red State Strike Force,” designed themselves a soldier-type patch, and are flexing their militaristic muscles by … mailing frat gag gifts to their own senators?

Red State — real men would be planning their revolution from deep in the woods of Montana by now, eating the testicles of wolves they had killed with their bare hands. Seriously, you should try it! It’ll be just like playing a video game, we promise!

Can you buy them with hobo food stamps though?

Bruno February 1, 2009 at 4:50 pm

Boy, those Red Staters sure can have a good time. And all while they timidly skirt around using the word ‘nuts’ (why I wonder).
