Here’s the sad part: I’d be willing to bet that in places like Mississippi and Louisiana there’s a significant portion of the population that refuses to take a handout from a n*gger. Of course, we’ll see how they feel about such handouts after they’ve been out of a job for 18 months, but for now I’ll bet these Southern fried retards in the Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi governors mansions probably enjoy a surprising amount of support.
Several southern Republican governors
As I understand it, the governor of Mississippi has decided not to accept his $42.50, fearing that such great wealth would corrupt the state. He has agreed to accept several rolls of duct-tape for infrastructure repairs, instead.
Boy, you wonder why Marion Barry would have kidney problems.
Thanks-but-no-thanks, y’all
I would be happy to help the decline of Alabama in particular, as Richard Shelby apparently thinks Obama is not American.
Call me Dick, and we can talk about how to meet our mutual goals of making Mississippi look good.
V572625694:
Believe it or not, it’s possible to live a too healthy lifestyle.
V572625694: The bitch set up his kidneys!
Serolf Divad:
I hope that his doctors put a few strings on this whole thing.
“Marion, dude, if we see you drinking all night down at a bar along Maine Avenue, we’re taking the kidney back. If we see you hitting the pipe again, we’re taking the kidney back. If we see you…”
4tehlulz: You know, I don’t think that Bob Riley has been bitching about how teh stimulus is EBIL and how he won’t take it. He is, of course, one of the few Southern Republicans who was rumored to have some sort of rudimentary heart-like device.
San Francisco gays don’t care about starving slum children in Mumbai, only Sean Penn.
Maybe if the Mumbai slum kids made an effort to be FABULOUS, instead of sitting around in the gutter going “Boo hoo, I’m so hungry”, I might give a crap about them. Nobody likes a whiner, dahlings!
I do hope Barry wears a toga and a laurel wreath for the summit.
The economy will turn the corner in 2013? Optimist!
“President Obama commences his fiscal responsibility summit today, in which a half-dozen Republicans will be eaten by lions in front of roaring crowds.”
WTF! I’d have traded whore diamonds and hobo beans for a ticket to this! Hell, I’d even bring along a couple of Republicans for the rehearsal! Damn, always day late dollar short.
This would be much more entertaining than those slumdogs in rented tuxes.
Should we make anything of the fact that the URL for the Fox News story about waffles ‘n’ grits leaves out the word “First” from the headline, making it “http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/23/waffles-grits-white-house-favorite-lady-says/“?
Y’know, some lady said it. Michelle something? Not really sure, sounded foreign.
Why would these southern governors take stimulus dollars directly from the U.S. government when they can get laundered money from the foreign auto manufactures?
It’s really cute that the leaders of the trailer park states think that they can win points with their populace by no accepting stimulus money.
Can you guys kick states out for being stupid?
Republican Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty seems to be advocating a system where federal money flows back to the states in accord with that state’s pro-rata contribution to the federal budget. I wonder if the Republican Governors of states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Wyoming, Utah, and Texas(who combined contribute approximately $0.85 to the US Treasury annually) would support that idea.
wheelie: Those Mumbai kids were upset because the Bruno movie release date has been pushed back to July.
shanemacgowan: Timmy P. can kiss Alaska’s three electoral votes good-bye. Also.
I don’t see any Muslin dishes on the menu.
Big, big loser at the Oscars: Nate Silver. Bwahahaha, Nate, where are all your fancy non-gay algorithms now?
What was Sanford’s final, trivial objection? Not wanting money for green construction projects? “Fuck that, we’re using tar, asbestos, and coal-burning A/C units! That’ll show them Communists!”
DoctorCulturae: Sorry about that. New things must be included!
shanemacgowan: only $0.85? I would think under this scenario, they actually have to give money into the stimulus package.
Do these governors seriously think that in 3 years not taking money will help their presidential ambitions?
Well, I actually kind of hope they do think that.
The worst part is that all of these retards are claiming they thought up this bold stand against fed’rul socialism on their own. This has to be blown straight from the RNC’s colon. And, they’re lying. They’ll all take the money, because they can’t balance their budgets otherwise.
I would enjoy mixing my grits with her waffles.
Where’s your originality, Repuke Guvs? Queen Bullwinkle of the North has laid the foundation for your new GOP status quo…”Thanks, but no thanks.” Trouble is, the only people buying it are yourselves and your bible thumpin’, corndog eatin’, bathing optional constituents.
“The President calls Bill ‘The Crust Master’ because he’s a big pie guy and…”
Okay, Michelle — stop. Just. Stop.
The Berry is a known junkie, how did he get on the kidney wait list in the first place?
Oy, we suddenly got a big surplus of extra kidneys lying around?
—- [Gov.] Sanford, on “Fox News Sunday” said some of the stimulus money came with strings attached. —-
Yup, dammit all. The money can’t be used to build detention camps for ethnics.
Sonny Perdue also finds the Stimulus Package morally repugnant. It will help the freeloading poors get abortions for their cats, but will not help the rich pay the employer’s share of Medicare taxes for servants. Booo.

The money can’t be used to buy anti-gay pills for GSU students, also.
Gah, I hope Barry does not get fat in office from all the pies and the grits and the waffles and the french fries. No Barry, nooooooo!
SayItWithWookies: this was paraphrased by the reporter.
We do not know what Michelle actually said.
We are reading an article from teh Foxy News, after all.
I say starve the Confederate Welfare States! But in the meantime, let ‘em know that it’s us Commie Homo-Loving Sons of Guns like Hollywood LIE-BRULL Sean Penn who are actually paying for their Moon Pies, chewin’ tobaccy and pewter-plated bibles….
Michelle was just trying to avoid saying that Barack eats like a goddamn pig and still manages to remain fit, the bastard. Remember this story: http://www.saveur.com/article/Our-Favorite-Foods/Breakfast-of-Champions ?
“BARACK OBAMA, Democratic presidential nominee, Illinois senator: Four to six eggs, potatoes, and wheat toast. Every now and then, fruit, bacon, and oatmeal.”
sarahconnor: Grits are actually fairly good for you, as long as you don’t load it down with too much salt or butter or corn syrup (yuck!)… I prefer maple syrup or unsweetened apple butter myself. Other times I might get all savoury on it and put in Tabasco sauce, mushed-up soft boiled eggs, or red-eye gravy. Give it all a try sometime!
