What is this, the famous journal of conservative thought (now begging you to subscribe for HALF OFF!) is calling on Brave Norm Coleman to actually give up fighting this election he lost to an actual teevee clown? In one of the typical remedial-blog-posting bits which make “The Corner” required reading in, we don’t know, maybe child prison camps?, Ramesh Ponnuru dramatically makes the case that Coleman should give up the fight.

Norm Coleman [Ramesh Ponnuru]
I think it’s time for him to give up this fight.
You know, we’ve been wondering what drives us so fucking nuts about this Twitter idiocy, and we think we maybe found the answer: Twitter is National Review Online’s “The Corner.”
The brief, banal thoughts tapped out all day long, that is pure “The Corner” style. It’s no wonder so many fat washed-up Republicans have excitedly embraced this dimbulb fad for middle-aged people who actually consider the ability to fart out typo-ridden nonsense on an overpriced cellphone to be the keys of admission to some World of Opposites version of “hip.”
Jindal-Ponnuru 2012!
NRO - the Athwart of Wathington.
On the other hand, this is the first tiny acknowledgment of reality that has been seen on The Corner in many a year. Don’t blink, anyone.
People who use this thing: you do realize ‘twit’ is the meat and potatoes of the word Twitter, right?
Norm will have a show on Fox in about a week.
“I think it’s time for him to give up this fight.”
This is taken completely out of context. Coleman was literally trying to steal candy from a child. That is what this refers to.
Isn’t standing athwart the same thing these guys do at their tea parties?
I’m beginning to miss Coleman and his peanut head, already.
50% off? Clarity from Ponnuru? Fuck it, I’m playing the lotto tonight.
Noodle Salad: Because when you have an athwart, there’s definitely a lot of standing involved. Amirite?
Fox n Fiends: And a pay-per-view saddlebacking Glenn Beck.
Standing Athwart Washington Liberals Yelling Stop WTF does that even mean? Are you lefties in DC yelling “stop” because someone is athwart you?
eclecticbrotha: With as wide a stance as possible.
Declarer-of-WWIII John Cornyn is not amused. And they will pay (only 50% tho).
That’s pillow fight to you, big guy.
Featherhead.
The fight is over. No more tantrums.
Put that nightgown back on, Norm, stop corn-holing the cat, and get the fuck back back under the bed.
One more word out of you and there’ll be no milk and cookies. Also.
That idiot Coleman keeps on fighting it and he will have Al Franken winning in a landslide. Useless ass just upped his opponents total lead in votes by spending millions of Republican dollars. Consider that the Republican party paid something like $500,000 per vote to increase Franken’s lead. I’m sure glad they didn’t waste that money getting a Republican elected somewhere…
Yeth, Norm ith definitely a thwart.
Norm won’t do shit until Uncle Anus (Rush) says so.
gjdodger: To quote Ponnuru: “Norm, don’t be thuch an athwart. Conthede.”
Can I just say how much I love that bighead version of Barry, throwing money around? Can we get one of Hillary juggling nukes?
Thometimth. an athwart ith jutht an athwart.
WadISay: If I had the Doughy Pantload standing athwart me, yelling ‘Stop!’ would be the least of it.
Hahahahaha, the comedian beat the laughingstock.
Eat your heart out, Corn Holeman.
NRO is quickly becoming Facebook for idiots
WadISay: The best interpretation I can come up with involves buttsecks, and the Washington Liberals (is that the name of the basketball team?) just stone cold fucking the shit out of NRO’s ‘The Corner’ bloggers. It is unclear at this point whether the “STOP!” means this is rape, or just roleplaying.
Isn’t Ponnui, or whatever the fuck his name is, the guy who’s going to rebirth the Republican party by going on talk shows and announcing he disagrees with everything the Rs do? WTF? Why be a Republican, anyway? These douches just keep talking while Hopey’s approval rating goes off the charts. Every time he gets a bump, the Rs go crazier and more negative.
Power to them. Keep at it, Boner and Dixie Jew. America hates you, and so do I.
Oh, and Sarah Palin just announced that Alaska is a sovereign state of the US (wtf? when did that happen?) and they need missiles to nuke North Korea. When she finishes her argument with Levi. Because she wants international importance. Also.
I was afraid that after Hopey won, humor might die because he is so inspirational and good. But the Rs are doing more than their fair share. You cannot make up shit like this.
The fun part is watching twits like David Brooks defending these dimwits. Talk about tortured arguments.
And Norm Coleman just paid big bucks to slightly increase the jokester’s lead. Fuck, what a load of dipshits. If card check weren’t coming up, they wouldn’t be so crazy.
The time has come for Republicans to call publicly for Coleman to concede.
The time has not yet come for Republicans to stop privately donating to his legal defense fund.
I eagerly await Ramesh’s post tomorrow entitled “I meant his fight with the Ethics Committee, now please stop sending me hate mail.”
I told you Ramesh didn’t have a penis
americanscandoanything:
He does. It’s just an “innie”.
Ha, ha, Ramesh called it a “fight.” It was more like an extended whiny-cry-baby wail, like an infant whose diaper was full of shit. Goodbye, Norm Coleman. May you receive your NR at 1/2 price for all of eternity.
Isn’t “standing athwart” the default position when tea bagging?
Whatth athwart?
In Minnesota, I understand that if you lose an election contest appeal you have to pay the winner’s legal fees. So the money these poor dumb asses are sending to Coleman are going to end up in the pockets of Franken’s lawyers.
Norm Coleman wasn’t fortunate enough to have a bunch of cars with extra ballots in the trunk like Al Frankenstein. Actually, Frankenstein is a better fit in DC these days. Unless you’re a queer, a communist, a muslim, a terrorist, an athiest, a tree-hugger, a welfare queen or some other form of perverted, mentally unstable dipshit, you simply don’t fit in with the Obama crowd.
Coleman is simply too normal, like 80% of Americans are. The tail is now wagging the dog. DC is “Clowntown USA” and the Chicago Butt Pirate is in command now. IT’s a f–king circus, folks.
Frankenstein can stand up in the Senate, pull his pants down around his ankles, spread his rosy cheeks and take a big dump on the Senate floor for all I care. I’m sure that one of his Democratic comrades will stand up and applaud while saying “Hey, I’ve got an idea..let’s tax people’s shit and we can make it progressive, that way, all of those fat bastards who eat too much, shit more often and overburden our healthcare system, will have to pay more”. ”
All of the Democrats can say…”after we tax their shit, we can re-distribute it to the skinny poor bastards on welfare who don’t eat enough to have their own shit..that’s fairness” and the Senate said “YEAH…who can pass up free shit? Let’s vote!”
Welcome to The Twilight Zone, Beam me up, Scotty!
