Several weeks into a major publicity blitz by Rahm Emanuel and the MSM, it is a nationally known fact that Rush Limbaugh is President of the Republicans. But who is President of the Democrats? If you’d asked any Republican during the whole stimulus bill horror show, they would have answered, “Nancy Pelosi, naturally.”
It just made sense to continuously attack Nancy Pelosi, a grandmother of eight, and Harry Reid, a very quiet little beige man, as the fearsome authors of the porkulous stimulus bill and the personal agents of Satan. “Barack Obama, whoever that is — now he is an all-right guy,” said Republicans; “too bad he has no power to set a legislative agenda or whatever.”
Now they have figured out that Barack Obama is both the President of America and also President of Democrats, and he is just a big fat libtard, bigger and fatter than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid combined, and while they have been heaping their scorn and derision on two helpless old people Barack Obama has somehow remained popular.
Well, that won’t do! So now they shall attack this new president with 60 percent approval ratings and demand more tax cuts.
In a Shift, House Republicans Take On Obama [CQ Politics]
Just wait ’til these Republicans find out he is also black. Hoo boy.
REAGAN WILL RETURN. HE WILL HAVE FOUR HORSEMAN. THE WORLD WILL BURN. ONLY THE CHOSEN LAMBS WILL BE RID OF HIS WRATH.
Obama’s approval ratings are over 70%, and if you take the South out of the equation (and as a Southerner, by God I wish I could), it’s up over 80%.
So these Southern Republican redneck sh*tballs talk to their right wing sh*tball friends and they think they got a movement.
They too funny.
What was the saying from the right wing; something about elections having consequences? hmmm, I can’t put my finger on it.
In a Shift, House Republicans Take On Obama
A ’shift’ is an old-timey lady’s undergarment, isn’t it?
As long as they do what Rush tells them, all will be alright. Right Mr. Chairman? Right? Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t understand you Mr. Steel with that set of shrunken discolored balls in your mouth.
By “taking on,” does that article mean “threatening some unspecified course of action inspired by some of the shittiest philosofiction of the last 100 years?”
If I were ever to travel back in time to ancient Rome, I’d want my name to be Porkulous Stimulus.
Oh, and republicans…blah, blah, blah. It’s the Year of the Hope, bitches. Deal.
En he wuz hatched from a Acorn, not a unicorn.
…as the GOP rapidly descends into obscurity, my faith in Darwinism has been renewed!
wheelie: Yes. They lost and can’t afford a skirt or a nice pair of heels.
So, I am starting to think that Republicans watch too many cartoons and movies. I think THEY think that if they dive their flaming plane faster they can put out the flames AND pull up before they crash and burn.
Of course, the screams will only get louder when it’s clear that the flames are spreading, the wings are ripping off and the ground gets ever closer.
They will call their new move the Welfare Queen’s Gambit, Declined.
Dear GOP: We are all Luo tribesmen now…HAH! Get used to it!

Related to this discussion is some funny funny mush that spewed from my favorite columnist’s tool brain. Brooks also just discovered that Obama is president and not just minstrel show entertainment. This awareness has caused him to express his fear that everyone will hate Obama any day now and demand that Rush be president.
Going after Barry now is like going after a puppy who serves beer. Sure, there will be some cat and wine partisans who are with you, but those people are crazy.
Gopherit: Hm. Or possibly Porckulus Dickus.
Internally valid: As a true blue cat and wine partisan, I have to tell you, I still luvs me some doggie style and unfiltered wheat beer. So I’m with my man Barry 100%, even if I do prefer pets that lick themselves clean.
Also: Eat cheetah hat, Republican jerks.
Brooks - that guy’s tie is NSFW around here !
wheelie: Actually, that’s a ‘petticoat’, as worn by Rush Limbaugh.
Mustang: Props for startin’ a snarkin’ on this one.
Biggest Brooks knee-slapper: “The U.S. has never been a society riven by class resentment.”
That’s right David, we voted for change the way you might alter your drink order: “I’ll have a Bombay Sapphire martini instead of a cosmopolitan.” Ooh, change I can believe in.
“…Nancy Pelosi, a grandmother of eight, and Harry Reid, a very quiet little beige man, as the fearsome authors of the porkulous stimulus bill and the personal agents of Satan.”
It’s always the quiet ones.
What happens if I say that I hope they fail?
EnBuenOra: “if you take the South out of the equation…”
just a (small) corrective: this is the “white south” (and certainly not even all of that). Other folks are in the south and are none too keen on the Republicans. I understand many do not even wet themselves at the thought of immigrants or gays or (gasp) the thought that in a generation the “white south” will become another minority (of course, that doesn’t mean they aren’t crazy people you want to avoid). just sayin’
Gopherit: Shouldn’t that be Porcvlvs Stimvlvs?
White people govern like this: “herf derf dorf, BOMB!”
Black people govern like this: “This is now the time for responsible governing.”
amirite?
Mouth-bo Challenges Barry To A Food Fight: http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/03/rush-limbaugh-c.html
Crab1: This made me laugh out loud, and then beat a drum in tribute to President Shaft.
For the Repubtard base this must be seen as the end-times: they are being made to look irrelevant by a smart black president and they’re being lead by a dumb black chairman. Double-whammy!
We seem to be overlooking the best way to solve this problem. All we need to do is have everyone in America who is on Oxycontin to send 25 percent of their pills to Limbaugh.
He’ll OD within a week, and then we can move on to Hannity and find his weakness.
But Boehner said Republican leaders realize they have to stay away from personal attacks on the president: “We can disagree without being disagreeable.”
Pardon me, Senator, but I don’t think the Republicans could hug a basket full of puppies without somehow being disagreeable.
DoctorCulturae: Alright, I took the bait and read Brooks. There are some tasty morsels today, such as his lament that burdens are inflicted on a minority — which oppressed minority is this you ask? The wealthy, says Brooks.
He also gets around to calling himself a centrist and that centrists have been “intellectually vapid”, so not a complete loss today.
Crab1: As a white person, I’m shocked and insulted that your assertion appears to be correct, judging by recent evidence.
Barry oughtta use the White House service entrance and claim that he is afraid of upsetting Massah Limbaugh.
Norbert: In place of “intellectually vapid” replace with bullied and steamrollered by the princess wingnut right. There has not been a center or even a left. This is classic reframing of history (it wasn’t me Pa!), one could even call it (horror-of-horrors!) propaganda, but of course it isn’t propaganda if you’re not in power. Funny how one cannot escape (eventually) the reality of hobo beans.
“…porkulous stimulus bill…”
I don’t know why, but that just sort of sounds like something you try not to let show on a credit card statement.
DoctorCulturae: The US has always been riven by class struggle. It’s the primary motivation for half of our history. My ancestors didn’t start the Whiskey Rebellion just because they were drunk… they started it because they were drunk and tired of getting shit on by the Man.
wheelie: A shift is what middle aged women who drink gin from teacups all day and leave cigarettes smoldering all over the house and have lipstick smeared on their teeth wear. In an earlier time that would be called “slatternly” but now it is “House Republicans”.
Was that CQ politics story “Making shivs, republicans take on Obama” ???
mmm now I want me a teacup of gin. Or whiskey. One of each please.
anyone read Boners’ piece in the wash. post today? it’s like all the bad that is going on began sometime this past january! what an asshole! also!
The only way the GOP will take down Barry is with a golem made of bitter, angry tears named Reagraham Lincool.
qwerty42: Hell, a decent sized portion of whites in the south are getting pretty fucking sick of our kindred’s shenanigans. My family lives in Memphis, and when the Tennessee House got up to its speaker selection circus this year, my dad, a dyed-in-the-wool Reaganite, laughed. Of my entire massive (and with the exception of my sister and I, conservative) family tree, only my grandma still liked Bush by 2006. Of seven uncles, only two can stand to listen to Limbaugh (surprise! They’re Baptists!). My mom’s parents will never adjust to Obama being preznit (my dad’s mom says “he’s so nice for a black man”), but they are not even remotely happy with a party that is ostensibly “theirs”.
Of course, whites in the south who aren’t batshit are, unfortunately, a minority within a soon-to-be-minority. I want to start a club for such southerners called “White, not Whitey”.
Internally valid: I’m a kitten and beer person. Does that make me a Libertarian? Independent? I’m so confused.
But regardless, I have no objections to the puppy bringing me beer, because I know my lazy-ass cat won’t.
norbizness: On a non-snarky note, none of these Repubs ever seems to mention that Ayn Rand’s philosophy is completely unChristian. I see an opening here between the “Ayn Rand/selfish bastard” wing and the (so-called) “Christian” wing of the Repub party that Hopey could drive a truck through. He might want to mention that those supposed “pork” programs are aimed at helping people whose unemployement was caused by the “creativity” of the “selfish bastard” wing of the party get an education and a job that will make them productive citizens, not lazy welfare queens.
Pelosi Reid Obama Out of those three Pelosi and Reid are the only ones with any experience in politics so of course it was only logical for us (Proud Republicans) to assume that they were the ones pulling the strings. Barack Obama doesn’t know how to run a government so why should we give me all the credit?
By the way, just because Pelosi has grandchildren doesn’t make her a saint. There are plenty of bi*chy grandmothers out there and she is definitely one of them. Also, I love how your trying to make it sound like Reid is harmless just because he’s old and small, like that somehow makes him immune to having a mean bone in his body. And very important for you all to understand, we never NEVER said Obama was an “all-right guy”. He’s not! We know it and hopefully sooner or later you will too.
Last but not least, let me inform you of something you wouldn’t otherwise know because you only watch CNN and PMSNBC (misspelled on purpose) Obama may have 60% approval but last week it was a good 15 points higher so it’s dropping, pretty fast.
The aviator is a present sent personally from me to you. Enjoy!
KHilton152: “why should we give me all the credit”? why indeed, republigoblin?
KHilton152: paris is that you???
oh, no wait. she was funny in that one video.
KHilton152: Wingnutz need mor colons, plz. Haz enuf assholes, tho.
