Wonkette
- BUDGET PASSES HOUSE, NO GOP VOTES: Surprise surprise, the Impotent Obstructionists voted en masse (that there’s a French socialist term) against the $3.44 trillion federal budget. Did you know they are against federal spending now? [CNN]
REPUBLICAN REVOLUTION

Republicans voted AGAINST military spending! They hate our troops!
Mild Midwesterner: Ha! Let’s hope the Dems are smart enough to use that, again and again and again….
If these republicans had any integrity they would stop voting for or against any of these things and just kill themselves, because government is bad.
They’d take their toys and go home if the Indonesian-Kenyan Socialist Fascist Party Apparatchikies hadn’t already requisitioned them and given them to the nefarious and scheming Snidely Banker. Or something like that.
NO MORE ROADS! NO MORE ROADS!
Privatize the Fire and Police Departments!
Hire Xe (the fragrance for men, formerly Blackwater) as our military!
Ban the CDC!
We should have hidden a clause in the budget stating that Republicans are correct about everything, the truly superior intellects of our time and the chosen saviors of our nation. Since they rarely read the fine print of the budget (unless it contains something hat makes sense like science funding), the Republicans would have just handed themselves a stunning rebuke. Hell, who am I kidding? They just did that anyway.
Also.
(almost forgot the also)
V572625694: Is there any hope left to do so? Obama used up all his hope to free the cuban terrorists so they can have mexican abortions in Iran.
Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, speaking for most of his GOP Senate colleagues, warned earlier in the budget debate that if a health care “reconciliation winds up in the budget bill, it’ll be like a declaration of war.”
Not war — it’s a declaration of “who the f*ck are you and why should we bother paying attention to you?” Speaking of which, Mr. Enzi…
facehead: If the Republicans had any integrity they would leave government, because government is bad.
Welcome to a three-party system, folks!
Party in Power: Democrats
Party in Opposition: Blue-dog Democrats (and former GOPers who have jumped ship)
3rd Party that everyone points and laughs at: GOP
I just Zwinki’d Nancy Pelosi! (Kidding!)
Ah Republican dominated House, we hardly knew ye…
Goodbye Majority,
For the Republicans who ruled so long ago,
Who saw laws as something to remake culture with,
or for extra money to buy blow.
And it seems to me, you passed your time
Like a fart into the wind,
Never thinking, what would happen,
should dominance end.
And though you wrecked the eco-no-my,
With the things you did,
Your poo gas will diffuse long before,
Of the last Repug we are rid….
(With apologies to Sir Elton…)
SayItWithWookies: to which the response could also be: “you wanna go to war? i’ll take you to war.”
“17 Democrats, mostly from GOP-leaning districts, voted against it”
Maybe they too should specter.
Boner talks about wanting limited government. When has government ever got smaller? Republicans, Democrats, makes no difference. And, yes, the “Boner” thing was childish of me. But there it is.
iwillsavethispatient: Every village needs an idiot….hence: the GOP. It’s almost un-PC to make fun of them now - it’s like laughing a Special Needs people. Maybe what Obama meant to say on Leno is that he bowls like Republitards.
Having grown up in OH-8’s suburban hollers tucked between golf courses, UDFs and Nazarene compunds, I LOVE watching Boehner play Joseph Hazelwood with the Republican party.
Love it.
This calls for more tea bagging!
V572625694: Oh god, I really hope they don’t. Although I enjoy watching the Republicans squirm, the use of Rove’s greatest hits will make the schadenfreude taste like goat poo.
shortsshortsshorts: They used that meme for years and years: gummint can’t do anything right; elect me and I’ll demonstrate it!
This outrageous budget will worsen the depression and spread disease! This is just like when Jimmy Carter signed the Hoot-Smalley Act authorizing Al Franken to eliminate swine flu with daily affirmations, which led to the 1976 depression (malaise) because the titans of industry all died (Galted) in the nationwide pandemic.
I hope Michele Bachmann never decides to speak only when she knows something about the subject. We’d never hear from her again.
There goes the money to support the faith-based initiatives. SECEDE!!
Decker: Does everyone in that district have skin that looks like badly aged Corinthian leather?
Sacrebleu!!
I WANT MY VOLCANO MONITORINGS!!!11!!!
Obstruct deez nuts.
shortsshortsshorts: If Republicans had any integrity, they’d be difficult to make fun of.
magic titty: Hee. Thank you for that.
this post should have included this photo: http://teablogging.net/2009/04/28/nuance/
now back to my mexican swine death del taco lunch. nom.
Every time these guys get angry about whatever it is that Obama is doing, I can feel my blood pressure drop another 10 points.
The GOP however did vote en masse their support for Wonkette’s upcoming multi-part occasional series “All the Presidents’ Graves”, coming soon to a Wonkette near you!!
Bruno: Now, now, you know that God made volcanoes to punish us for wanting to make teabagging the norm. No need to fund science, its only brought us trouble!
I prefer ‘en bloc’, sounds Frenchier
StephanieInCA: Ha!
For the sake of American democracy, both parties need to move away from the GOP base.
Your mouth says NO but your eyes say loser
Tommmcatt: Wow. That brought tears to my eyes.
2druk2phluq: I often give thanks to Sarah Palin for this wonderful and expressive addition to the English rules of grammar (”Also” as a complete sentence).
Now congress can get to work passing the good stuff like free jet packs for everyone except Newt Gingrich.
AnnieGetYourFun: Steele said today that Republicans should become enraged or some such blather. Like the GOP needs to cement their image as ranting lunatics in the throes of perpetual hissy-fitdom.
Is Mike Enzi the guy Albert Neri shot in the eye?
Mild Midwesterner: Yes, the Dems could have a field day with the “gotcha” commercials:
Omnious voice-over of slow-motion black and white video of Rep. Joe Republican –
He voted against breast cancer research!
He voted against research to stop the flu!
He voted against clean water!
He voted against hurricane monitoring! (on the east and Gulf Coasts; sub. “volcano monitoring” on west coast)
He voted against computers in your kids’ school!
He voted against social security for your folks!
He voted against air traffic control!
He voted against border protection!
He voted against job retraining for your out-of-work, job-went-to-China best friend.
He even voted against the funds for the U.S. Army’s sponsorship in NASCAR!
He voted to kill you, your kids, your parents, your baby sitter, your friends, your dog, the troops, NASCAR, and everyone in America who doesn’t have a private jet to take them to their private villa on their private island!
Paid for by Dick/Jane Democrat for Congress.
C’est la vie.
I heard Michele Bachman pounded the podium with her shoe and screamed “Nyet” over and over again
They should go back in and remove every item the Republicans negotiated to have included in the budget.
