  • AWFUL DEMOCRATS WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY CROWN ARLEN SPECTER: It seems some psychopaths in the Left Wing didn’t get the fucking memo (as shouted by Joe Biden) that NO ONE IS TO RUN AGAINST ARLEN SPECTER for the 2010 Democratic nomination for the Senate, and now Glenn Greenwald has something new to go insane over.

That’s a pretty big memo to overlook. Rendall, Biden, et. al., might as well have just said “nice family you got there, Mr. Potential Primary Challenger, hope nothing happens to them.”

Com’on, this is all just fuss for show. Everybody knows that the part of the deal was that Specter would run unchallenged. That, or the Dems could run their choice of a lawn sprinkler, a Kleenex full of swine flu snot, or a peen-ball hammer against him in the primary.

Run Terry Bradshaw.

Hey hands off Greenwald, mkay? Guy’s all right.

[re=306279]slithytoves[/re]: It’s reversed, I know. I had to work it.

slithytoves May 1, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Oh fuck. I was right.

Everyone knows psychopaths don’t read memos. Unless they’re written in blood, of course.

freakishlystrong May 1, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Ahem..Spectorasaures-Rex voted AGAINST the budget, just sayin’…

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! May 1, 2009 at 2:49 pm

Hey, if the Dems gave birth to Specter the Dem, shouldn’t he be crowning?

mcc May 1, 2009 at 2:52 pm

I am rather looking forward to a good cop-bad cop routine between DailyKos and President Obama over the Democratic primary shuttling Specter into voting for basically everything the Democrats want.

Edywin May 1, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Wow great PETA ad next to this post. Just above the ad for Bernie Madoff’s new investor training video. So tell me, where is this Quaker land of Pennsylvania located at? And what of their rich deposits of the black gold and the mighty steel industry that spawns at the mouth of the great Allegheny river?
Hmmm?

snideinplainsight May 1, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Yah, Glenn Greenwald is sacrosanct – betcha din’t think I knew that big word, didja? That’s MISTA GREENWALD to you.

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! May 1, 2009 at 2:54 pm

[re=306333]mcc[/re]: Wow that’s the first time I’ve heard anyone I’ve respected using “looking forward” and “DailyKos” in the same sentence.

Edywin May 1, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Sorry I guess thats a “point” not a mouth. Edywin fail at geography.

snideinplainsight May 1, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Help re-elect John McCain’s scabrous turkey-waddle to the United States Senate! (Boy, I hope there’s a more appealing angle to photograph him from, somewhere.)

mcc May 1, 2009 at 2:56 pm

[re=306338]Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish![/re]: I am as surprised as you are

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! May 1, 2009 at 2:58 pm

[re=306336]snideinplainsight[/re]: Eh, I’m not impressed by anyone Newell can beat up.

tonytonytony May 1, 2009 at 3:12 pm

[re=306333]mcc[/re]: You beat me to it, but we’re not gonna get it. Democrats don’t like to ask for anything more than what their mommies tell them they’re entitled to. You’ve got a nice little fake democrat senator there, now be happy with that, even though he’s from by-god Pennsylvania and Bernie Sanders would trounce any R in a state-wide election.

Hooray For Anything May 1, 2009 at 3:16 pm

I’m hoping there’s a part of the memo in invisible type created by using Joe Biden’s urine that says “Arlen Specter is a Hackiest Hack there is and we’ll give you all the NSA wiretaps on him if somebody, anybody runs against him.”

Kingbee May 1, 2009 at 3:24 pm

[re=306334]Edywin[/re]: This PETA ad is not so great. I am already well-acquainted with my meat, thanks.

Hmmm…I’m going to need some background on this Torsella guy before I know how to feel about this. Is he Blingee-worthy? Wonkette needs to find out!

Cicada May 1, 2009 at 3:38 pm

OMG- two seconds on Google images brought up this:

Torsella is the one on the left.

I’m officially on the anti-Specter bandwagon. Specter might have the furries, but Torsella has gold-medal olympian Bono.

lawrenceofthedesert May 1, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Barry’s boys were right to welcome Arlen to the ranks, and it’s their prerogative to campaign for his re-election — but the primary stays open. To be big D Democracy, it has to stand the Tumult Test; Democrats have no 11th Commandment.

DemmeFatale May 1, 2009 at 4:12 pm

I know this is OT, but I desperately need a post on the SCOTUS so I can shout: TOUGH TITTIES, CONSERVETARDS!!!!

(Whew, that’s much better!)

Jukesgrrl May 1, 2009 at 4:37 pm

I’d give a panda a colonoscopy before I would vote for Arlen Specter. How about running that union president who made a video saying he didn’t care how racist his friends were, would blow them away if they voted for McCain. Maybe he has the balls to remind Obama who put him in the White House.

hobospacejunkie May 1, 2009 at 5:58 pm

Obama winning the preznitcy is the only thing that is/would be more awesomer than Arlen Specter losing in the primary. That self-serving conservative fucknutz is doing his best to make Joe Lieberman look like a loyal basset hound.

nader paul kucinich gravel May 1, 2009 at 7:25 pm

Greenwald knows what to do with Specter.

(and Joseph Isadore “Joe” Lieberman)

The Schadenfried PAC May 1, 2009 at 11:33 pm

I know I’m jumping the gun here, but he’s already given me a reason not to vote for his ass in 2010. He voted against helping working people who declared bankruptcy, along with a few other Blue-dogs.

I hope my state runs a cancerous bag of dicks against Specter; and may the dicks win.
