Jim Tedisco Showing Typical GOP Insanity

'Victory is that way.'New York Republican Jim Tedisco is currently up by twelve (12) votes in his special election against Democrat Scott Murphy in the state’s 20th congressional district. And those 6,000 absentee ballots haven’t been counted, because why rush, right? So he’s leaving his state assembly leadership post, and just cold gettin’ ready. [The Hill]

    The Fool. Doesn’t he know about ACORN?

    If Tedisco ends up the winner, Scott Murphy should pull a Coleman and drag a recount out for as long as possible just for the fun of denying this guy his seat.

    Jim Hussein Tedisco. Measuring the drapes like that Barry Hussein Muslin fellow.

    Doesn’t he know that in close elections the loser drags it out for five or six months like Norm Coleman only to lose, repeatedly, and be a loser 4-evuh?

    NY State Assembly: 1

    U.S. Congress: 0

    He’s pointing at Jesus as if to say, “Told ya so, SMARTASS!”

  6. Mustang says at 1:18 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Ha Ha. Love it. My disgust with this race has been detached and distant until today. Now I’m actively hoping hard that this guy loses, just for the satisfaction that a blowhard republican’s humilition always brings me.

    shouldn’t he be in iowa getting married? silly republican…

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 1:27 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    He’s quitting his leadership position so he can devote his full energies to fending off any help offered by Michael Steele or the NRCC.

  9. Come here a minute says at 1:33 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Tedisco’s lead is insurmountable; Murphy catching up is INCONCEIVABLE.

    IT IS A REFERENDUM ON THE TELEPROMPTRZ

    IT IS A REFEROMPTER

  11. I hope he packed a lunch.

    Not long ago, this was a safe-as-can-be Republican district. Now it’s “Mr. Tedisco Goes To Washington” if they win one, which remains very iffy. That’s better than “change” — that’s progress.

  13. McDuff says at 1:44 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Come here a minute: Thanks, now I’ve got Shawn Wallace’s voice in my head saying “don’t get involved in a land war in Asia” over and over.

    It’s kinda ironic that a gun nut is going nuts in gun-nutty upstate as we speak. Thank god for those pro-second amendment Republicans, keepin us safe from…whatever.

  15. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:48 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Norm Coleman’s lawyers are drooling. Contesting an election is not cheap.

  16. CankleBiter says at 1:51 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: You sir are brilliant!

  17. gjdodger says at 2:02 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    They oughta just bring back John Sweeney. The guy who, when asked “When did you stop beating your wife?”, had to stop and think about it.

  18. CivicHoliday says at 2:04 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    hey, what the…where’d that funny thread on America being better than Jesus go?

  19. CivicHoliday says at 2:06 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    hmmm. back now.

  20. MarieDeGournay says at 3:37 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Red Zeppelin: As my last totally inane insult to one of our resident gun-nuts indicated, I totally don’t get these people. It’s like Teller trying to find safe uses for the H-Bomb, total loserdome.

  21. MarieDeGournay says at 3:37 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    MarieDeGournay: wow, that’s a lot of ‘totally’s, totally.

  22. Double Scorpion says at 3:44 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: in re: REFEROMPTER. May I present you with this WIN.

  23. 2druk2phluq says at 4:18 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: agree, is win

  24. Hagar77 says at 11:53 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Please call the police; he’s about to hit off that unsuspecting, blindfolded statue of Justice with an anal fingerbang.

  25. S.Luggo says at 1:04 am, April 4th, 2009

    1. “I now demonstate the number ‘one’. [Within my district in upstate NY that qualifies me as a certified financial analysis. Please, so very thank you.]”
    2, “In Saratoga, this is how many of fingers are left when you subtract 12.”\
    3. “Yar. A pretty, pretty tiny robin. Must, must pet, must hold, must have, must eat.”
    4. “Watch that doofus fall down the stairs. Oh, well, it’s Patterson. Never mind.”
    5. “Irish!”
    6. “Behold, Hebrews. My lord Satan.”

    Tedisco, the youngest nephew of Nabisco.

    Yes, the Republican Taliban will have us all baked in no time.
