RedState Historians Recall Epic ‘Battle of Obamaloo’

by Riley Waggaman  

  • John McCain on John McCain: “I have my own opinions on most issues now.” [Think Progress]
  • Jim “The Duke of Wellington” DeMint hit the nail on the head, with his whole Waterloo comment. Even Barack Obama admits that his quest for world domination will likely fail. But which island nation will he be exiled to? Cuba? [RedState]
  • Transparency has never looked so cloudy! [AMERICAblog]
  • It’s official: Jon Stewart is the most trusted name in news. Honorable mention to write-in candidate Billy Mays, who was runner-up. [HuffPost]
  • Oh brother! Now Matt is pontificating about “Food Cart Deregulation.” But will he reveal how it led to the subprime hot dog crisis? [Matt Yglesias]

Whatever Kool-Aid the people at RedState are drinking it has the bad acid in it.

Food cart deregulation is very dear to my heart. There are few things in life that can compare to the pure bliss of a hot dog wrapped in bacon and fried on a piece of sheet metal placed atop a shopping cart.

What kind of an enlistment bonus do I get for signing up for the Red State Strike Force? Whatever it is, it’s not enough.

Jon Stewart has been in an Adam Sandler movie and M-TV.

I don’t trust him.

Fuck that jewprick, also.

Elba or Sainte Helene.

Foodcart deregulation? Don’t take the pig lips & cheeks away from my belly! Pressed pieces parts on a bun is my right as an American.

Vermonters are still skeptical of Jon Stewart. We’ll have to put more drugs into the maple syrup if our Grand Plan is going to work.

Wolverines!!!

Or in their case:

Vulvarines!!!

Jon Stewart…wait, whut? Was Jim Lehrer even in the poll? Wait…it was an online poll and thus has no basis in actual public opinion? Is Huffington Post really that hard up for stories? Also?

Why does John McCain keep trying to make his pick of Sarah Palin look right.

I’ve always preferred to get my news from “Vince” Offer Shlomi.

Not Cuba, Hawaii.

While it’s disturbing that the Freepers and the RedState crowd are both suggesting that armed insurrection is the last refuge of “real Ameuricans” I would encourage the gentle readers of Wonkette to remember two things.

1: Their asses are pressure welded into their barco-loungers by the six hundred pounds of lard they individually sport and thus they collectively only pose an existential threat to the nations supply of fried pork rinds.
2: Even a Nigerian socialist muslin marxist jihadi-ranger is more popular with the American electorate than they are.
So…go ahead, make it personal. Call for insurrection and rebellion and drive a stake through heart of the GOP

Trucknutz also.

So McCain’s not going along with Steele’s socialism argument….

Can someone clear up what the thinking behind that position is for me? The argument, I think, goes like this….competition from a free government plan will drive insurance companies out of business, and everyone eventually will end up on the new government insurance plan, but health care will be worse because the government plan won’t be as efficient as private insurance, which doesn’t explain why they’d be driven out of business by the government if everyone prefers and wants to keep their product in the first place….yeah, paradox.

[re=368625]rocktonsammy[/re]: Snark = lotsa fun. What you said = not so much. Banhammer, eds?

[re=368669]ZombieRichardFeynman[/re]: Don’t ban me, bro!

But seriously, yes: banhammer material.

Sigh. As they say.

[re=368625]rocktonsammy[/re]: Jon Stewart ended Tucker Carlson’s career on TV. You can’t be trusted to be funny on the internet.

Late to the party here but I’m pretty sure rocktonsammy is not being serious with his comment on Jon Stewart. Unless someone has logged in as rocktonsammy and is posting idiocy in his/her name. He/she’s not a newbie & I don’t recall any previous troll-like comments from him/her. Benefit of the doubt is called for here.

Can I just say that Senator DeMint ranks very high on my list of “Congresscritters I Want to Kick in the Teeth”. What an arrogant, little troll of a man. The Lowcountry sure does have a way of picking winners.

AllHat July 23, 2009 at 11:02 am

Let DeMint and the GOP celebrate the defeat of healthcare reform all they want. Their constituents are all the more likely to die of obesity related disorders that they can’t afford to treat.

dum librul July 23, 2009 at 11:18 am

[re=368625]rocktonsammy[/re]: That’s enough, Congressman Weiner.

Vaguely OT, but those Time polls are weird: I just scrolled through the past couple weeks, and nearly every single time Iowa is the lone state colored blue in a sea of red. On one of them, Iowa was the only state that had a majority wanting a resolution honoring MJ, but somehow that choice had 86% support. Iowa is a source of Time Poll witchcraft.
