Whatever this is, it sure looks educational. Write your own context! Or just read what our Hill operative sent us, which still does not truly explain why this nut is ranting about AIG bonuses next to a picture that racist slob from teevee.
Steve LaTourette, a moderately normal Republican, has a giant display of Larry the Cable Guy with him on the House Floor and is going on about how Congressional Dems and Obama are all about “gittin r done” (sp?). Here is a camera phone pic of a CRT TV, it’s actually better quality than this deserves.
Wait, what is this about Congressional Dems and Obama getting things done?

Was Joe the Plumber unavailable?
Wow Jeff Foxworthy got fat.
What does Sarah Palin drive besides the GOP nuts?
Check out the new works: http://abookaboutdeath.blogspot.com/
Just wait until they start using Carlos Mencia bits to try and explain immigration reform
Gotta admit, the GOP has a pretty clever thing going:
STEP 1: bring the world to the edge of economic apocalypse.
STEP 2: spend the next 8 years ripping on Obama for making the tough decisions that are necessary to avert a global meltdown.
Larry the Cable Guy leads to thoughts of men Pulling Cable leads to thought of sweaty fat guys Bending Over who end up Exposing Ass Crack thus leading to Assfucking

Carlos Mencia as stolen from Chris Rock, you mean.
It’s never good when your last name contains the syndrome that is afflicting you.
I only acknowledge Jeff Foxworthy.
Was there or was there not some banhammer rules written in blood/stone about linking to your own blog? I only ask because epic banhammering is one of my favorite spectator sports.
Maybe they really do need a vacation.
YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF … Larry the Cable guy is your pop culture reference on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Could he maybe throw in images of Jesus and Trace Adkins too? In front of an American flag, and holding guns? ‘Cause just one redneck in a sleeveless flannel makes me think it’s not folksy American enough.
[re=375665]ManchuCandidate[/re]: …Exposing Ass Crack…
I thought it lead to the favorite SF pic.
Cash for Clunkers + AIG and its shenanigans + some Republican obstructionist + a picture of a beefy white guy with a maybe reddish neck (jess sayin) + a veiled reference to laying cable = a pretty good summin’ up of the state o’the nation.
It’s really adorable that you would be concerned about the spelling of “git r done”.
If only some Congressman could work in the old smashing a watermelon with a sledgehammer trick that Gallagher perfected.
Is Larry the Cable guy a birther? He’s from the south so there’s a high probability that he is.
Isn’t cable where they show all that hawt gay buttsecks? Why does Steve LaTourette want rednecks to think even more about socialist gays and their hawt, hawt buttsecks?
I like it when Steve LaTourette yells “Fuck Salt!”
Let’s just get Larry the Cable Guy as car czar, Dane Cook as consultant on douchebaggy youths, Chris Rock doing race relations PR work, Dave Chappelle as South African ambassador, Robin Williams as head of the war on drugs, Gallagher as head of the fruit inspection agency, and Al Franken as Junior Senator from M-…. wait a second
Like all wingnut idols, Rep. Daniel Lawrence “Larry the Cable Guy” Whitney (R-Done, NE) is an opportunistic fraud.
According to Forbes Larry the Cable Guy make only $13 million in 2008, which is down from a one-time high of $37 million.
That’s what Obama has done to our economy.
Larry the Cable Guy has made millions by mocking southern white men. Karl Rove smiles and nods approvingly.
Well of course he’s going to quote a real Umerican, not someone who only acts like one.
[re=375686]Hooray For Anything[/re]: “Dan Whitney” is from Nebraska, not exactly ol’ Dixie. Here’s a clip of him before his Larry gimmick stuck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIWO5LgUZ28
I think everyone in congress should carry around a poster with a representative photo of his or her average constituent. It reminds them who they’re working for.
My Congressman, Henry Waxman, can give all of his speeches next to a photo of a Jewish Mexican drag queen, hammer and sickle earrings dangling, wrapped in a stole made from aborted fetuses.
I’m guessing the Republican complaint is that the Dems want to gitter dun at all costs, i.e., pass some health care bill now rather than wait to gitter dun rite. If so, then “Larry the Cable Guy” represents the wrong way, which will be very confusing to that Republican’s constituents.
Also, which one was Larry, the one raping Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction, or the one just watching?
LaTourette should duct tape some Truck Nutz to his pretty blue poster. That’ll git ‘er done, cowboy.
By the way, if Al Gore invented the Internets, did the GOP invent cable TV?
[re=375699]mattbolt[/re]: [re=375695]Extemporanus[/re]: Jinx!
You owe me a [line of] coke.
[re=375700]Lord Growing[/re]: Ha, ha-ha! Excellent!
[re=375671]Meags[/re]: Second the motion. Bring it on, Ken!
Deer Wonkett, plz to not be hosting any moar add munniez from WHITE TEEFS or UHSHY BARRYS.
[re=375726]Extemporanus[/re]: Coke? In THIS economy? But my paycheck from Big Nancy Pelosi’s Abortion Barn & Flag-Burnatorium Sponsored By George Soros And Keith Olbermann’s Gay Wedding doesn’t come until Tuesday!
[re=375693]El Pinche[/re]: “Piss cracker!”
[re=375696]chascates[/re]: yeah, it used to be funny to laugh at the stupid shit red-neck trailer trash say and do. Now that we are all living the red-neck trailer trash life, that shit aint so funny! Reality is a bitch, ain’t it!
[re=375673]Come here a minute[/re]:
A: Will you be here all week?
B: Should I tip the waitress?
c: Hows the veil?
[re=375699]mattbolt[/re]: Meh. Every comic creates a character on stage, and he DID go to high school in Florida. OTOH, he’s not all that funny.
Wait, Jim! “Write your own context!” You mean context and alt.text mean the same thing? What a country!
[re=375700]Lord Growing[/re]: OOH, personas! We tech writers use those. At Microsoft.
Don’t be surprised that the Repugs are confused. LTCG is just an earlier, suth’un version of Borat, and thank God we never saw him nekkid.
[re=375827]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Clippy died for your sins.
I didn’t know James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio did a program about the Cable Guy. And from the floor of the H of Reps? Guess ratings are down this month.
“Larry the Cable Guy” should sue this congressman for completey misappropriating and misusing his character. What the hell was the congressman thinking? And the character of Larry the Cable Guy has nothing–zero, zilch–to do with policy wonk crap that the congressman is lamely trying to get attention for. “Larry” is a very sarcastic, goofball, doofus character–it’s not really a character that a congressman lamely misuses in Congress.
Has everyone on the Hill just lost their minds completely?
Larry, by the way, is Dan Whitney, a comedian, writer and actor who dreamed up the character and, through stand-up shows, CDs, movies, appearances, radio and memorabilia, has become a literal multi-millionaire through the use of his creation. Now that’s a story that the congressman should be using.
It’s important to separate the character (Larry) from real life (Dan). In real life he is a phenomenally generous and charitable guy, helping disabled veterans and others. He and his wife just donated a million dollars to the Child Advocacy Center, which helps child victims of physical and sexual abuse (http://journalstar.com/news/local/article_dd99a7ba-811a-11de-93f5-001cc4c03286.html). He’s also raised money for diabetes research (http://journalstar.com/news/local/article_dd99a7ba-811a-11de-93f5-001cc4c03286.html). So, sure, you can argue that the character isn’t all that funny or is offensive. But know that behind the character is a class guy in real life.
