Kind of. The governor of Georgia, Sonny Perdue — an insane person — has submitted a brief for the case Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One v. Holder, which will face the Supreme Court in April. The case challenges Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act which “requires federal approval for any change in election law in nine states, including Texas and Georgia, and parts of seven others.” In other words, the racist states. Perdue argues that this burdensome provision is no longer needed because things have changed — just look at all the votes that Mr. Blackington himself got in Georgia last November!
The governor’s brief argues:
Today’s Georgia is not, as Congress suggests, a place where the state or local governments sponsor racial discrimination in the electoral process that must be curbed by the federal government.
Yeah, c’mon Washington, who’s that guy you’ve got up there now, the Tiger Woods fella:
In Georgia, President Obama received a percentage vote 3.8 points higher than former Vice President Gore in 2000, and 5.6 points higher than Senator Kerry in 2004. Congress’ insistence that Georgia has “a continuing legacy of racism” in the context of the renewal of the VRA is nonsensical when an African- American candidate for President receives a greater percentage of the vote than his white predecessor candidates.
This guy wants a poll tax like a crackhead wants a hit.
Perdue: Obama proves Georgia doesn’t need Voting Rights [AJC]
Also, Saxbe Chambliss is Black
I’m surprised that Sonny doesn’t just bypass the whole Court thing and just pray for Racism like he did rain.

…In other words, the racist states.
Thank god we have D.C. to show us how blacks and whites can live in harmony.
Is anyone else moderately turned on by Jessica’s cellulite?
Chicken Man!!
What do you expect from a man whose answer to drought was a Christian rain dance?
…and Barack Obama solved racism forever.
The End
BillyClubb: Do you even live in DC?
I think we are misunderstanding the governor’s argument. Because blacks in Georgia voted for a black president, we should reinstate poll taxes and literacy tests. After all, we don’t want them getting ideas from THAT ONE.
ManchuCandidate: Gallowglass: So he’s like Jindal with the exorcism? I didn’t even know Christians had rain dances.
Jindal/Perdue ‘12!
“The governor of Georgia, Sonny Perdue — an insane person…”
Person? I heard he was some kinda chicken.
Person? I heard he was some kinda chicken.
He’s a tender man. And a tough chicken.
Cook ‘im and eat ‘im.
yeah, what was it–like 120 years ago that they tried to lock up genarlow wilson for having sex a classmate (who also happened to be a white chick)? oh, wait, it was like three years ago? fuck this guy and his whole chicken fucking family. he must’ve forgotten he was the fucking governor at the time. and, oh yeah, marcus dixon? he was from georgia too. ahhh yes, indeed a new day has dawned in georgia. i completely trust these fellas to administer justice and change election laws that won’t screw black people. i bet he’s even got a black guy (or woman) working in his office. somewhere. (ol’ Sonny’s gonna have a lot of egg on his face when his state becomes the first southern state–after “fake” virginia–to go “black” in ‘12.)
Hooray! Racism is gone! Does that mean I can have slaves again?
The Cold Sea: I believe he was being sarcastic.
I don’t give a flip for the Gov, but I have to admit. He has a name straight out of a Faulkner novel.
pat robertsons personal trainer: Consider this a callow and trashy solicitation for sexual congress based solely on your social justice six-pack smackdown muscles.
Sonny Perdue is afraid of teh black man because he has a very small unit.
Isn’t Sonny Perdue the guy that sold that awesome state park, Jekyll Island, to his developer friends after the election for next to nothing? And taxes are going to pay for the infrastructure upgrades.
And sea turtles will have no dark beaches left to nest.
Georgia’s a freaky place.
BillyClubb: No, but I did just apply to University of Phoenix and donated to SarahPac.
I live in Atlanta, and the slack-jawed Sunny Bubba won’t even allow a vote on allowing us to buy beer and wine on Sundays. He makes Larry the Cable Guy look like Betrand Russell.
Can we just keep Paula Dean (’cause I secretely pretend she’s my mom) and sell the rest of Georgia back to…. Oh shit no one would buy it would they?
Jobu-ty: Actually, Bertrand Russell did install my cable. Susan Sontag was up there on the roof, installing the dish. She recommended I get my gutters cleaned.
Oh, well, 3.8 percentage points! Whoo!
Where exactly was the tipping point? 3.6 percent? 2.9 percent? 0.0000001 percent? And if the primary percentage points against Hillary get figured in, do they have to be weighted in any way?
Fuck, yeah! Georgia is just packed full of angry white Republican dudes named Newt, Sonny, and Saxby. O yeah, and Bob Barr, too, who counts as an angry, crazy white dude too even though he’s teh Libertarian.
Sonny’s just pissed that the mansion is the least expensive and opulent home on street. (Seriously it is)
Lascauxcaveman: Was your wife at home? I understand Betrand was randy deep into his 90’s. If your kid starts spouting theorems right out of the womb, I’d ask for a DNA check …
Schmannity: No no no, that’s Bob Barr!
Lascauxcaveman: “Susan Sontag was up there on the roof, installing the dish. She recommended I get my gutters cleaned.”
Uh-huh… Susan Sontag… Are you going to? Will you give the Wonketteers a first-person account, assuming it is something which can be described on the Intertoobz legally?
frumious_bandersnatch: fortunately, i enjoy trashy & callow advances almost as much as sonny loves locking up and/or disenfranchising minorities.
Schmannity: Grab ONE eleven-year-old tit and noone lets you live it down.
Min: wait until you get the people out of a Flannery O’Conner story.
President Beeblebrox:
I always thought that Bob Barr was secretly 1/8 Muslin.
…southern Republicans have the reasoning skills of a fukkin gold-fish! Even my dog realizes that just because I hide a squeaky toy behind my back, that it still exist! These shit for brains are trying to claim that just because Barack Obama became president racism no longer exist in this realm of reality?! This coming from the same state where THIS was considered “no big deal”!
And we were big fans of that Falcons quarterback, whatshisname, Doggiekiller McDopefiend. And we love going to Hawks games. The Thrashers, not so much.
AngryBlakGuy: Speaking of which, is that you I’ve occasionally seen at TGW trying to teach the PUMAs?

saggyboobedhag: They sold Jekyll Island? NOOOOO! I went on vacation there once as a child, and honest to God I saw baby sea turtles hatching when I went on a walk with my cousins late at night. Watching them wiggle their way into the waves was about the coolest thing that had happened to me in my young life. Still ranks up there in the top 20.
Schmannity: or he slept with more black women than Obama.
saggyboobedhag: I think the plan is to give away as much of the state as is possible. but look at the positive side: some friends of the governor will make a lot of money.
Governor Perdue then dismissed reporters, addressing one in particular with a warm handshake and smile, saying “Boy, you’d better not let the sun set on your black ass in my state.”
CorkPopper: not exactly. they are not that stupid. but there are areas that can be developed and some that cannot. they have slyly enlarged the development area. the local republican state sen was on the board and protested a lot. he isn’t on the board anymore.
I like Sonny Perdue a lot and hope his staff keeps him provided with the very latest in teleprompter technology at all times. HE CALLED A WAR HERO PARAPLEGIC AMPUTEE A COWARD I FUCKING LUV HIM
Mr Blifil: I think that was sen chamblis.
qwerty42:
Sexy Sexy Chamblis
He musn’t let anyone find out about his ‘T’.
And once again Sonny makes the rest of Georgia look like the rednecks y’all expect us to be, ensuring that I can never show my face outside of the state. Keep up the good work, Governor.
AngryBlakGuy: Goldfish as in the “cracker” variety. Seriously though, how many home-schooled, mouth-breathing, knuckle dragging dittoheads could pass a literacy test? Wouldn’t this almost certainly cut into the Republitard base?
The response, if any, to that amicus brief shouldn’t consist of anything more than a one-paragraph affidavit citing the number of Confederate flags visible statewide, the phrase “res ipsa loquitur,” and a respectful request that the court tell the plaintiffs and their supporters to get fucked.
President Beeblebrox:
I got news for you, Bob Barr ain’t black, trust me, we claim him in secret. Have you ever looked at his lips?
And ol’ Sonny says you faggy liberals should plan your alcohol consumption better and stock up on Saturday. Any place where you can’t buy reinforcement beer on Superbowl Sunday should be expelled from the Union. And yes, I live in ATL
mayor_quimby:
Ain’t WHITE, sorry.
Fivetree: …I found a sample test!
1)Which famous comedian in known for saying this phrase: “Git ‘ur dun!”?
2)What was the name of the car in the “Dukes of Hazard”?
3)If both you and your brother get your sister pregnant; are the children siblings or cousins?
4)How many N#ggers does it take to screw in a light bulb?(worth double points!)
So as you see, us black people are SCREWED!
That Dukes of Hazzard shit ain’t funny. I was once in a little town on the outskirts of ATL around lunch. On the town square, I see 3 General Lee replicas parked back to back. I said to myself, what the fuck, is there a dukes of hazzard convention in town - and THERE WAS. I found that out when I wandered into the little shop where the dukes of hazzard gift shop was, turns out I was in the town where it was filmed. Needless to say, I was the fuck out of there wayyy before nightfall.
About six years ago I had to go to a courthouse about 20 min inland of Charleston, S.C, in a place called Monck’s Corner. The name of the street that lead to the courthouse was “Johnny Reb Drive” It was next to “Billy Yank Ct.” and “Jeff Davis Dr.” Here is that little corner of whiteness: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=johhny%20red%20drive%20south%20carolina&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS319&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl
Hero for our times, Saxby Chambliss, will one day succeed in dragging Georgia, kicking and screaming, into the eighteenth century.
And Sonny Perdue, too. Whoevs.
I just read the hadlines as “Georgia governor fists for right to poll tax…” oops…
greywindz: “headlines”…wht is wrong with my goddam typing?
The Voting Rights Act is a great idea and has obviously improved voting in the South, so why don’t we just apply it to every state? Problem solved.
What? There’s no racism in Milwaukee, Detroit, Cincinnati, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oakland? Fan-fucking-tastic!
And there is no such thing as a non sequitur in Georgia, either.
