Jonah Goldberg’s Secret Brother Is Running For Office, In Liberal New York!

Oh ho ho, a secret human, unearthed? We have found the Third Goldberg: Lucianne, Jonah, and now Joshua — who is running for New York City Council representing the Upper West Side! As a Republican, of course, so… yeah. Just a complete waste of time, this campaign.

What do we KNOW about Joshua Goldberg? Most glaringly: unlike his brother Jonah, Joshua is not fat. Joshua also has not written fine leatherbound historical masterpieces arguing that the American Democratic Party is literally Hitler. Joshua has failed his family.

He is an actual hobo.

Goldberg, whose candidacy was endorsed by the New York County Republican Party screening committee, has worked as a tour guide, and has also been a fishmonger and worked in the media.

He has been unemployed for a full 42 years, is the takeaway. You must watch his video. This is something that you must do.

    So Weird Al Yankovic is this one’s father? Christ, what an unappealing family.

  2. privatejoker says at 12:21 pm, September 4th, 2009

    well the repubs had to run somebody.

  3. Godless Liberal says at 12:21 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Why the fuck is he purple? I will not vote for a purple man.

  4. Come here a minute says at 12:21 pm, September 4th, 2009

    That’s almost as bad as being a fishwife. Fishwife. Yeah, Fishwife.

  5. nbawriter says at 12:21 pm, September 4th, 2009

    A ginger with a porn ’stache … nothing says “future indicted state senator” like that look.

  6. Jesus, if someone said to me “Imagine Jonah Goldberg,” first I would vomit. But then if they said “now imagine that he is thin and has red hair and a kind of icky mustache,” I would probably imagine exactly this guy.

  7. user-of-owls says at 12:22 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Pointed out buildings to gaggles of camera-bedecked Asians? Check.
    Disemboweled marine life? Check.
    Has tree growing out of left shoulder? Check.

    This simply has to be performance art.

  8. freakishlystrong says at 12:22 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Ick, he looks vaguely like Joe the Ginger…

  9. Red Zeppelin says at 12:22 pm, September 4th, 2009

    That’s the photo from his sex offender registry?

  10. Bufford T. Justice says at 12:23 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Fucking ginger.

  11. gurukalehuru says at 12:24 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Looks retarded.

  12. user-of-owls says at 12:24 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Godless Liberal: That’s not racial transcendence! I bet you boycott the Blue Men too. Stinkin’ chromatist.

  13. ManchuCandidate says at 12:26 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Jonah’s the successful one?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    This might explain why mama Goldberg is such a bitch. I’m betting she seethes inside when she gets asked the inevitable question:

    “So, what do your children do?”

  14. I’ll assume that “worked in the media” refers to producing kiddie porn.

  15. germansteel says at 12:26 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Jonah, Joshua and, what, Jehosephat?

  16. Rumproast says at 12:26 pm, September 4th, 2009

    If the video doesn’t have a strong “laughing” lead in an hour or so (pull down, top right), I’m becoming a communist.

  17. Country Club Jihadi says at 12:29 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Jim is a ginger. This human gefilte fish is not a natural color.

  18. i kept adjusting the color and contrast on my screen, but nothing works, he’s literally purple WTF?

  19. Downtheroadapiece says at 12:30 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Is he having a stroke? Medic!

  20. Neoyorquino says at 12:31 pm, September 4th, 2009

    I watched the video until the “swoop and drop” looping map graphic in the background made me hurl. Yeah, I’m sure that’s what did it.

  21. Cape Clod says at 12:31 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Red Zeppelin: No kidding. Before anybody votes for him, let’s make sure he isn’t hiding a kidnapped 16 year old blonde in a shed in his backyard.

  22. SayItWithWookies says at 12:31 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Who the hell goes to their stylist and says, “Make me look like an ex-security guard who has little boys’ bodies stuffed in the crawl space under his house?” Oh — Jonah Goldberg’s brother.

  23. George Oscar Bluth says at 12:32 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Talk about transparency in government! I can see the blood beneath this fishmonger’s skin. I have a feeling that in direct sunlight (if he didn’t spark like a fork in the microwave) I would be able to see straight through this chap.

  24. DarkSynergy says at 12:32 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Blue skin is in baby

  25. “I love this city but not enough to button my shirt”

  26. snarkistani refugee says at 12:33 pm, September 4th, 2009

    When do we get the thread where we size up Ms. Coakley for sexual suitability?

  27. I hope Linda Tripp’s happy now.

  28. professionalcynic says at 12:37 pm, September 4th, 2009

    When did being on a public access show make you qualified to run for office?

  29. gurukalehuru says at 12:38 pm, September 4th, 2009

    And where is our Peggy Noonan. I need my weekly dose.

  30. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 12:39 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Holy shit is that ginger boring. And what the fuck is up with his clothes? You want my vote try putting on a coat and tie you fucking slob ginger Goldberg fuck.

  31. Poopley J. Crandleberry says at 12:41 pm, September 4th, 2009

    OMG i wantsta butt sects him so gud!

    He’s so sweaty!

  32. nmmagayar says at 12:43 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Did Trig write that campaign speech?

  33. Way Cool Larry says at 12:43 pm, September 4th, 2009

    “Strong new branches are growing”??? Doesn’t he mean aren’t growing?

    Hell’s kitchen is on the edge of a fiscal precipice?

    What is with his skin tone?

    What are those three dots on his neck and chest?

    Why do I feel like I’ve been put in a hypnotic trance after watching that?

  34. How is it he can afford to live in Manhattan as a fish whatever, and I have to live in New Jersey.

    NO FAIR

  35. That pedophile seems to enjoy collodial silver, too.

  36. Way Cool Larry says at 12:45 pm, September 4th, 2009

    he does look like a skinnier version of Jonah, I have to say

  37. norbizness says at 12:45 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Way Cool Larry: Those are either lesions or marks from his make-out session with a blow-up Newt Gingrich doll with patented suction action.

  38. It’s as if Carrot-Top and Dwight from “The Office” had a love child, and now he wants power.

  39. Colloidal silver is sometimes used to treat gonorrhea and yeast infections.

  40. Jonah says he’s agin “extravagant benefits” for city workers such as “unfunded pensions and medical insurance….and numerous holidays and generous overtime.”

    Yeah, what he said. Why doesn’t NYC just have the FDNY and the NYPD pay the city for the privilege of defending numerous freedoms from now on?

    9/11? Just a distant memory for 42-year-old Jonah.

  41. Tommmcatt says at 12:49 pm, September 4th, 2009

    A fish-monger? Seriously?

    Too precious for words.

  42. Katydid: Fuck. Joshua, not Jonah. Joshua. One prick, two names.

  43. Send photo of boat and motor.

  44. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 12:59 pm, September 4th, 2009

    He looks suspiciously similar to the semen stain that launched Lucianne’s career.

  45. hobospacejunkie says at 1:00 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Weasel is as weasel does.

  46. the problem child says at 1:00 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Katydid: Which one gets to hold the prick?

  47. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 1:02 pm, September 4th, 2009

    I’ve been watching ironic mock-shitty commercials for so long that real shitty-commercials like this now seem to me like they’re third-rate shittier knock-offs of ironic mock-shitty commercials.

    Post-modernism is freaking weird.

  48. magic titty says at 1:07 pm, September 4th, 2009

    That’s totally Joe the Plumber with a wig and ’stache.

  49. Hedley Lamar says at 1:10 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Good lookin’ feller. I’ll bet he speaks Klingon.

  50. JadedDIssonance says at 1:21 pm, September 4th, 2009

    I want to know what he thinks about Firefighters Hosing Down an Elephant with their Hoses!

  51. yargisbargis says at 1:22 pm, September 4th, 2009

    He sounds so media saavy, I’m expecting a personal complaint to Wonkette real soon which will be just as quickly posted for that we can tear him to shreds some more.

  52. Anonymous Office Zombie: Would you believe me if I said I thought the same thing?

  53. privatejoker: I think there was a comedy/mockumentary that ran about five years ago called Run Some Idiot. Sounds about right.

  54. facehead says at 1:48 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Blacks, Asians, even Redheads: these things I’ve learned to tolerate. But I cannot accept someone who is purple. Does that make me a racist? Screw off purp-lover!

  55. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 1:50 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Mojopo:
    We should come up with a name for our disease, like “The Hipster Vertigo” or “WTF? Syndrome” or something.

  56. mookworthjwilson says at 1:51 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Pedobear has endorsed him…so he’s got that working for him…

  57. mookworthjwilson says at 1:53 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Pretty soon the oompa loompas are gonna drag his purple ass away…

  58. the problem child says at 1:55 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Anonymous Office Zombie: Mojopo: Virtual Worldlweariness?

  59. How much must it suck to go through life known as the uglier stupider Goldberg? Doesn’t he know that after Masada, the Jews are cool with suicide?

  60. friendlynerd says at 2:08 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Godless Liberal: Colloidal silver. Lots and lots of colloidal silver.

  61. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:10 pm, September 4th, 2009

    the problem child:
    Nice.

    How about “Deconstructionaire’s Disease” or “The Gout 2.0, Now with More Hyperreality!”

  62. Extemporanus says at 2:25 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Man, the move to Los Angeles has not been kind to Conan.

  63. proudgrampa says at 2:45 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Godless Liberal: He’s after the Barney Dinosaur vote…

  64. assistant/atlas says at 2:59 pm, September 4th, 2009

    I would not hit it. Not for a million dollars.

  65. sad tortoise says at 3:04 pm, September 4th, 2009

    This video is a lie. Everyone knows Hell’s Kitchen is currently represented by Daredevil the Man Without Fear.

  66. One Yield Regular says at 3:33 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Katydid: Going after the firefighters - Now THAT should work out to be a brilliantly successful platform in Manhattan…

    Also, is he wearing one of Jonah’s shirts?

  67. I Am Not Your Gary Busey says at 3:56 pm, September 4th, 2009

    IaNYGB: What are you gonna do today, Napoleon Goldberg?
    JG: Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh!

  68. I Am Not Your Gary Busey says at 4:04 pm, September 4th, 2009

    assistant/atlas: Maybe with Michelle Bachmann’s dick, but even then, just for the laffs.

    Ughh…

    I feel a little dead in my soul just for having even typed that.

  69. Hart88: Kiddie pron? He looks more like a freelance fluffer…

  70. voyetra8 says at 4:27 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Nice teleprompter work, lad.

  71. Madeline says at 4:35 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Without this video, I never would have believed that Jonah got the looks in that family, but…

  72. El Pinche says at 4:43 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Pantload’s brother is Jeffrey Dahmer?

  73. CapnFatback says at 5:02 pm, September 4th, 2009

    And here I was worried that Violet Beauregarde could never find true love.

  74. CapnFatback says at 5:04 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Good thing Jonah didn’t get this complexion; he’d be the spitting image of the Grimace.

  75. Didn’t I see this guy running in and out of peep shows in Times Square in the early 80s?

    Looks like a pedo-Dad, but still the better looking of Lucianne’s spawn.

  76. Jonah Goldberg now tweeting as @JonahNRO

  77. Don’t forget NYC is one of fun spots for the Gayz. I could offer suggestions on where to go, but I’m guessing this guy has a closeted pair of black leather straps and/or gimp outfit and is much more up-to-date than me.

  78. WickedWitch says at 7:50 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Pervert.

    There. I said it.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    But still… Pervert.

  79. American' says at 8:33 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Another unfuckable Republican? Say it ain’t so, Joe!

  80. liquiddaddy says at 9:05 pm, September 4th, 2009

    Vulpes82: In the 18th century they used mercury.

  81. ladymacbeth says at 12:24 am, September 5th, 2009

    Excellent well; you are a fishmonger.

  82. slowuncle says at 12:49 am, September 5th, 2009

    ladymacbeth: Well, yes, fishmonger-BUT!! also worked in the media, so….

  83. This fishmonger, he has nipples in his v-neck. Or maybe zits, or a rash. He looks like he gets a lot of rashes. He looks like he runs Lucianne’s newsletter from the part of her house where the sun doesn’t shine.

  84. catdance says at 8:02 am, September 5th, 2009

    Don’t fishmongers wrap the fish corpses in newspaper?
    There’s his “media” experience for ya.

  85. Mr Blifil says at 10:02 am, September 5th, 2009

    A victim of failed autoerotic asphyxiation?

  86. Studebaker Hoch says at 11:35 am, September 5th, 2009

    Yet another case in which the world would be a better place if Lucianne had just swallowed.

  87. showmeonthedoll says at 2:00 pm, September 5th, 2009

    Rumproast: Done.*
    yargisbargis: And done.**

    *Laughing: 74%
    **With requisite misspelling of editor’s name.

  88. sweet old bob says at 3:50 pm, September 6th, 2009

    I love it that Lucianne set up “Cummings and Associates” early in her career.

  89. Robert Zimmerframe says at 11:28 pm, September 6th, 2009

    Male rangas really are the unluckiest white people around.

  90. Holy crap! you’ve got to click on the link to “Jonah at the Corner” above. He states that his brother’s “led a colorful life.” You mean orange and purple?

  91. bouffant

  92. AManOfConstantZorro says at 5:57 pm, September 7th, 2009

    Wow, this dude is a total ringer for Seth, infamous delinquent asshole, scumbag brother of DethkloK drummer, Pickles… but in disguise, with glasses!

    Like this guy, Seth also led a “colorful life” — as head of DethkloK AustraliA, he was last sighted fleeing a howling mob of enraged Aussie deathmetal fans. Details at 11.

  93. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:16 am, September 9th, 2009

    How the hell did he do his entire spiel without blinking? Is that even possible?
