Your other editor Sara wrote earlier about how every governor candidate in Virginia has taken a shine to this hilarious & false idea that prison officials closely monitor third-grade test scores to determine how many jails they’ll need for the Dumbs in 15 years. But only Terry McAuliffe went ahead and made it into an insane teevee advertisement! The final product (which your male associate editor wrote about this morning at length for his NBC racketeering gig) proved to be McAuliffe’s most twisted, hilarious failed attempt at pretending to be a real human being yet, in a life and campaign defined by such attempts. “Pre-k now or prison later!” Nice one, sociopath!

“Pre-k now or prison later!”

What did one horny Republican say to the other?

Why is it that when he is talking and moving, he looks almost human, but the second you pause the video, he’s completely terrifying and drunk-looking? Not good-drunk, but molesting-uncle drunk?

I get at least two (2) mailings from him a DAY, along with five to seven (5-7) robocalls a week. Even if somewhere in my deepest lizard brain I ever contemplated voting for him, which I didn’t, his tree-killing, mind-numbing barrage of bullshit would have quelched that urge immediately. Since I despise him, the constant flow of crap from him just makes me want some unfortunate and humiliating death to befall him (SCUBA wetsuit and giant dildo accident, crushed under 500 lb. hooker, etc etc).

[re=332478]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Ewww … Lolz.

No fan of Terry here, but I’m OK with this particular ‘big lie,’ as its an attempt send the funding in a right direction anyway.

Prison architects do not, in fact, closely monitor third-graders’ report cards

Whew! All the times I heard my grade-school teachers say “this is going on your permanent record!” It was such a relief to find out that, in reality, they didn’t give a shit what happened to me.

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 4, 2009 at 4:55 pm

To be fair, I did know by third grade that I wanted to grow up and become a frequent blog commenter.

The link at the bottom of the page about an old man having sex with his dog is most depressing. What’s going on in Washington State and Washington DC? Bestiality run amok (as they would say in Rhode Island) or what?

Country Club Jihadi June 4, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Those precious little twerps who showed up late to their White House tour are doomed.

bankruptcamaro June 4, 2009 at 5:04 pm

It’ worse than that. Listen closely, he says, “pre-K now, or prison beds later”. What a sick fuck.

Also, the M-TV editing made me throw up.

A lot.

On my shoes.

shortsshortsshorts June 4, 2009 at 5:04 pm

Just wait a minute here, folks… is this like racial profiling, but with academics? How did Terry do in the third grade? I mean, he’s a fairly corrupt shit-stain (allegedly)…

What we should be doing is taking aside children that are part of the future “prison populace,” put them into a chain-gang, and be done with it. Let’s take Terry’s advice. NO MORE SECOND CHANCES.

Vote for Terry(???!?)

JohnnyMeatworth June 4, 2009 at 5:05 pm

Oh my fuck. How is it that this douchenozzle is alive and David Carradine is dead?

charlesdegoal June 4, 2009 at 5:07 pm

On topic: Eugenics now!

bankruptcamaro June 4, 2009 at 5:10 pm

[re=332514]JohnnyMeatworth[/re]: Your topicality and sense of injustice is astounding.

ph7 June 4, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Lot of white kids in the classroom. All of them in fact. Plays well in the real Virginia.

Mr Blifil June 4, 2009 at 5:23 pm

This ad is counterintuitive. Surely it is more efficient and economical to incarcerate during the pre-K years.

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 4, 2009 at 5:27 pm

Just turn the grade schools into prisons, more.

gurukalehuru June 4, 2009 at 5:28 pm

Remind me again why we hate Terry McAuliffe. Pre-K now or prison later makes a lot of sense, to me.

Judas Peckerwood June 4, 2009 at 5:33 pm

I liked him better back when he was tweaking.

orange June 4, 2009 at 5:36 pm

I will invest in early education so that we don’t have to use 3rd graders…what?

Manofsteel June 4, 2009 at 5:42 pm

Once he hits puberty, Michael Cera will the perfect choice to play Terry in “He Woke Up Plastered: The Terry McAuliffe Story”

Chuckie Jesus June 4, 2009 at 6:43 pm

I skipped 3rd grade, but dropped out in my senior year (with a 3.75 GPA, no less!) because northern VA in 1990 was a tremendously shitty place to be. Now I’m a Union member working for a city.

MORAL: Fuck their demographics. And fuck Virginia. Also.

missannethrope June 4, 2009 at 7:44 pm

Ever since that scary nutjob announced he was running for the Democratic nomination, I’ve had a sinking feeling that Bob McDonnell is going to be our next governor.

President Beeblebrox June 4, 2009 at 7:50 pm

[re=332478]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Pedo Bear approves of this Pre-K/Prison Plan.

schvitzatura June 4, 2009 at 8:11 pm

Terry, let’s compare notes in 2019-20, when the next crop of felons, scratch that, UVA frosh, are newly minted!

Suggestion: VDoC place a minimum security wing on the UVA campus…kill as many bird with the fewest number of stones thingee…

kenboy June 4, 2009 at 8:50 pm

I can’t STAND him. And I think it’s pretty interesting that he’s almost entirely replaced his Syracuse accent with this new Virginia drawl thing.

norbizness June 4, 2009 at 8:52 pm

I liked him better when he was in the Socialist Student Union and feeding beans to a hamster named Special Patrol Group. There is a link in there, I swear.

norbizness June 4, 2009 at 8:53 pm

In addition, Jesus Jones should sue him for ripping off half of their song title.

zippy123 June 4, 2009 at 11:52 pm

Soon-to-be-former Virginian here (am moving ‘cross the Potomac in 2 wks): as a parting gift to the Commonwealth and wonkette readers everywhere, I think I shall vote for this cheeseball in the Jun 9th primary. He’ll certainly be more amusing than the other two characters, although it’s hard to beat a name like Creigh Deeds.

Jukesgrrl June 5, 2009 at 12:18 am

Dear Terry, Forgot to tell you but the rum works only if you administer it pre-K, so that’s why you sound so stupid. Sorry. Jukesgrrl

NYNYNY June 5, 2009 at 1:34 am

It’s disgusting that wonkette opens up paying jobs to you. You should do this and work at Dunkin donuts. Love, d.a.r.y.l.

villageatrois June 5, 2009 at 2:07 am

Not to be geeky, but how many felons had pre-K? How many had Head Start? Is it public school that starts you on a life of crime?

Aurelio June 5, 2009 at 3:06 am

Terry looks pretty spiffy compared to the way he used to look. But I still wouldn’t trust him to have anything to do with children.

Where was his bottle of rum?

tehbenton June 5, 2009 at 7:42 am

Look, for real, we’re doing the best we can to push this guy into obscurity. The primary is on June 9. WE’RE DOING IT, ALL RIGHT???

JAABS for the CAMMANWEATH my ass…

Kgprophet June 5, 2009 at 11:41 am

OMG

If you fail your 3rd grade test = go straight to jail?

That’s harsh.

Mustang June 5, 2009 at 11:55 am

I think he’s just trying to make the point that college educated criminals are more likely to have the money to hire the best lawyers.

DC Hates Me June 5, 2009 at 1:08 pm

His head is very animated .. like Isadora Duncan or Linda Blair.

Hart88 June 5, 2009 at 3:19 pm

“Hi! I took a prohibitive favorite with name recognition and a warchest that Jesus himself would have killed for, and turned her campaign into a farce of backbiting, racist dog-whistling and thinly-veiled pleas for lone gunmen! Now I want to run Virginia!”

Eh, no thanks.
