The GOP Forgot To Download Its Young Leaders!!


In a way, this actually somehow seems promising. Oh but before you go, Michael Steele has a question!

(SPOILER ALERT IT’S “WHAT UP?”)

    No mistake. Young people want nothing to do with vampires, except for the movie versions.

    “Truth in Advertising??” LOL

    “The system. Is down. The system. Is down. The system. Is down. The system. Is down. The system. Is down.”

    One of the GOP “Young Leaders” I’m look forward to see in campaign party mode.

    GOP Assembly candidate sells sex toys for women

    This year’s Most Interesting Job for an Assembly Candidate Award goes to District 5 Republican Stepfanie Velez-Gentry, who runs a business specializing in… well, what amounts to naughty Tupper Ware parties. Velez-Gentry, 29, who’s running against South Jersey power broker George Norcross’s brother, Donald Norcross, runs Nookie Parties LLC, which organizes “adult romance parties for women & couples.” (Edge, PolitickerNJ)

    They were going to put in Aaron Shock (the hot one), but after 2010 he’s just going to be a personal trainer.

  6. rmontcal says at 10:53 am, October 13th, 2009

    A person’s face, it is like an “O”!

    Also: O-FACE!

  7. GreatOldOnesParty says at 10:53 am, October 13th, 2009

    JamesMichaelCurley: A hetero GOP sexytime man?
    I call BS.

  8. Chain Tattoo says at 10:53 am, October 13th, 2009

    I remember 404 Error — one of the great Republican leaders of years gone by. He had the spine to say “what you seek cannot be found.” Never bothered with opinion polls, couldn’t care less what pages the whiny liberal elite wanted to load, always ready to tell the straight, unvarnished truth: “There’s nothing for you here, now go away and cut taxes!” What a man. The party sure could use another like him.

  9. The Toot says at 10:54 am, October 13th, 2009

    I notice that a lot of the GOP heroes are of a certain, um, hue, as if party realignments never happened.

    WHY DO THEY REFUSE TO HONOR TRUE GOP HEROES LIKE STROM THURMOND, JESSE HELMS, AND ROBERT BORK?

    /sorry, low on the snark today, blame these bastards

  10. The Little Rock says at 10:55 am, October 13th, 2009

    No, no, no…not an 404 error. The website was moved months ago.

  12. hockeymom says at 10:56 am, October 13th, 2009

    Where is Meg McCain?
    She is both a Young Leader AND a Hero.

    Also, that chick with the backwards B carved on her face?
    She should be on that website, post-haste.

  13. proudgrampa says at 10:56 am, October 13th, 2009

    rmontcal: Who is that guy, anyway?

    Today, we are all O-FACEs.

  14. freakishlystrong says at 10:57 am, October 13th, 2009

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! And they list as one of their “accomplishments” as creating the Buffalo Soldiers! Yay, we were the first ones to send all the darkies to fight our wars! Mission Accomplished!

  15. GreatOldOnesParty says at 10:58 am, October 13th, 2009

    and people are still named Leonidas?

    i don’t know if that should be the coolest thing evAR or just incredibly gay.

    “THIS! IS! REPUBLICA!!!” (kicks Michael Steele down a well)

  16. ForTheTurnstiles says at 10:58 am, October 13th, 2009

    God hates a coward, sonny!

  17. The Toot: I like how they buried Lincoln at the end. “Oh yeah, that guy.”

  18. Tundra Grifter says at 11:00 am, October 13th, 2009

    Today, the GOP (Gangrape: Our Platform) is all Kenneth Gladney.

    Again. Actually.

  19. Voyou Charmant says at 11:01 am, October 13th, 2009

    Is that a site for the future GOP in China?

  20. Gallowglass says at 11:01 am, October 13th, 2009

    GOP, don’t ever change, you beautiful lolcow.

  21. Spiro Agnew says at 11:04 am, October 13th, 2009

    I’m a republican because…

    …I am a closet homosexual

  22. Way Cool Larry says at 11:04 am, October 13th, 2009

    to be fair, the site is beta, aw screw it, they just don’t have anyone.

  23. Lazy Media says at 11:05 am, October 13th, 2009

    In case you’re wondering who that old dude is standing in as the O, that’s Leonidas C. Dyer, an 11-term Republican Congressman (1911-33) best known for introducing a (failed) federal anti-lynching law (it foundered on a Dixiecratic Senatorial filibuster). Here’s the real reason he’s so inspiring to today’s GOP, though: “Dyer ran unsuccessfully for reelection in 1932, 1934 and 1936.”

  24. teebob2000 says at 11:05 am, October 13th, 2009

    Yep, something’s definitely fucked up here. I got a picture of big black lady from aCORN!!!!11 as the “O” in “GOP” when I went there. Really!

  25. I’m a Republican because…

    …the Know-Nothings and Dixiecrats kicked me out.

  26. Formerly Preferred says at 11:08 am, October 13th, 2009

    The Toot: Yeah, I noticed that, too. There’s something remarkably odious about the current GOP claiming people like Pinchback as a “hero;” as if the current GOP would actually have supported Reconstruction leaders in their fight against the Klan and the White League.

    http://www.gop.com/index.php/learn/heroes/

    Does this strategy of claiming ownership of past Republican heroes (some of whom were legitimately heroic) backfire? Does it remind people of just how upside down the modern Republican party is compared to the party that had that name in 1870? Probably not.

    Somehow, though, I am comforted by the fact that G.W. Bush and P.B.S. Pinchback will never, ever be mentioned together in another sentence again, after this one.

  27. Notice the Blingee American flag at the bottom? I think they’re trying to make a Wonkett parody site.

  28. hobospacejunkie says at 11:12 am, October 13th, 2009

    Sussemilch: Adults who feel the need to call sex nookie are icky. But bonus points for the sex toys, though making your friends come to a nookie party is kind of oppressive.

  29. GreatOldOnesParty says at 11:12 am, October 13th, 2009
  30. The Sea Farmer says at 11:13 am, October 13th, 2009

    Republican hero #4 (50% as heroic as Reagan according to rankings) - Octavius Catto, murdered by Democrats.

  31. GreatOldOnesParty says at 11:22 am, October 13th, 2009

    at least some of them have cool names.

    http://www.gop.com/index.php/learn/heroes/jos_celso_barbosa/

  32. GreatOldOnesParty says at 11:25 am, October 13th, 2009

    From the Reagan entry: “Our country has to decide,” said RONALDUS MAGNUS, “whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether to abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives better than we can plan them ourselves.” (emphasis mine)

    Ronaldus Magnus?

    Holy fuck, it’s a parody site!

  33. norbizness says at 11:25 am, October 13th, 2009

    GOP Heroes? I thought maybe it would be a CGI Strom Thurmond with power bands and a robot dog sidekick.

  34. The Toot: The “certain hue” in this screencap appears to be a corpse-like gray.

    The GOP, white and oh-so-modern! Wonder why they do so badly with the under 35s?

  35. I’m drawing a blank here.

  36. GreatOldOnesParty says at 11:28 am, October 13th, 2009

    I like the term “Reaganus Maximus” or “Ronaldus Prime” better.

  37. GreatOldOnesParty says at 11:31 am, October 13th, 2009

    norbizness: you’ll note that ALL OF THEM ARE DEAD and Reagan is the only relatively recent one.
    Where are Kenneth Starr and Newt Gingrich?

  38. Formerly Preferred says at 11:37 am, October 13th, 2009

    More to the point, where is Don Draper? Or Roger Sterling? I mean, they went ahead and cribbed the aesthetic (http://www.gop.com/images/hotSpot/GOP_baselineads4-01.jpg), and it’s undeniable that Draper et al. are Republicans. Draper is probably the most promising leader in the GOP right now.

  39. PabaBritannica says at 11:39 am, October 13th, 2009

    Yes, Edward Brooke, the great Massachusetts Senator who boned Barbara Walters and was kept off the VP ticket in 1976 by…Jesse Helms.

    Which one of these men do conservatives admire more these days?

  40. jetjaguar says at 11:39 am, October 13th, 2009

    OMGOMGOMG

    You GUYS

    Do NOT go to http://www.gop.com/

    IF YOU DO, Michael Steel will LITERALLY walk out onto your screen to steal your soul.

    I’m not kidding you guys.

  41. PsycGirl says at 11:40 am, October 13th, 2009

    JamesMichaelCurley: She sez her products have “helped save marriages”. If only Mark Sanford had known.

  42. OnTheLoose says at 11:48 am, October 13th, 2009

    Michael is gonna axe us? yikes!

  43. binarian says at 11:48 am, October 13th, 2009

    jetjaguar: They must’ve hired some tech guys…..who quit before finishing the site….

  44. PabaBritannica says at 11:49 am, October 13th, 2009

    They should put up a poll and have it list choices for greatest GOP hero and just put Jesse Helms and then everyone else on that list except Reagan. That would learn them.

  45. Flanders says at 11:53 am, October 13th, 2009

    jetjaguar: Gah!

  46. binarian says at 11:55 am, October 13th, 2009

    Ok, they fixed the 404 issue….but there’s no actually people on the page….just a plea to become a leader.

  47. Is it just me, or does that young rebublican leader girl look like a horny slut? Because I just wanted to tell Michael Steele that’s probably a better approach than the dog.

  48. Oh! Faces! I get it. More than one. They keep changing. Cool. But this one still looks like a horny slut. I tell you. The GOP is onto something here.

  49. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:59 am, October 13th, 2009

    Sussemilch: She seems nice enough for a professional dildo salesman. Still it kinda bothers me that all these barely-making-it ‘entrepreneurs’ and Amway suckers are pimping for GOP because they think they are going to be wealthy someday.

    Same thing with all the small business people in my family. Last election season, I can’t remember how many times I had to ask, “Really? You make over $250,000 a year?” The answer, of course, was ‘No, but…’

  50. IrksomeKitty says at 12:01 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Future leader of the GOP: skoalrebel (pissed off as hell obama needs to be inpeached)

  51. Johnny Zhivago says at 12:13 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Clara Barton is a FUTURE leader of the Republican Party????

    That’s amazing!

  52. SmutBoffin says at 12:13 pm, October 13th, 2009

    IrksomeKitty: Are you new here or have you just been away for a few weeks?

    Lascauxcaveman: “She seems nice enough for a professional dildo sales(wo)man.” This is funny!

  53. Johnny Zhivago says at 12:19 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Holy G.O.P…. I was about to join the Republican Party - but - sheeeesh… don’t tell anyone, they’re like loaded with black people!!! Like every other person!!! I mean, their website, it looks like they’re the freaking Nation of Islam or something….

    Whew….

  54. Snarkalicious says at 12:21 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Sussemilch: I call double BS. You’re telling me this dildo vending single (?) mother of 2, who cares for the old, the sick, the poor and the children is a Rethug? Not buyin it. I will take an 18″ Nobama Black Water Dong, a ball gag, a can of disinfectant spray and Karl Rove’s home address please. Oh, and some of them edible, crotchless panties. I’ll need to keep my energy up.

  55. zambonirider says at 12:24 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Fredrick Douglass? REALLY?

  56. Steele’s subtitle of his blog entry was misspelled. Clearly, he meant to spell it “aks”

  57. TastyCakes says at 12:36 pm, October 13th, 2009

    I love that The Chairman is, like Wonkette, taken to using commas, for humor:

    The Internet has been around a while, now. But, I still find it an amazing platform for innovation, not just in technology, but in life.

  58. imissopus says at 12:39 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Somebody with video editing software MUST edit Michael Steele into one of those old Budweiser commercials.

  59. Oldskool says at 12:45 pm, October 13th, 2009

    The 1970’s USSR look is making a comeback.

  60. yellowdogdem says at 12:45 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Edward Brooke? From my home state of Massachusetts? No way would he be a Rethug if he were alive today. Which he isn’t. In fact, he’s turning over in his grave.

  61. yellowdogdem says at 12:48 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Octomom! I want Octomom as a GOP hero! Become an attention whore and have as many babies as possible!

  62. But the search engine works flawlessly:

    Your search “legitimate, alternative health care reform”
    did not match any documents

  63. teebob2000 says at 1:23 pm, October 13th, 2009

    JamesMichaelCurley: She’s involved in so-called “Toys for Tots”. What kind of sick woman is this!!!????

  64. A Better American Than You! says at 1:25 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Agnew. Joe McCarthy. Nixon. Ferdinand Marcos. Augusto Pinochet.

    Ah, those old school Republicans were so much grabbier than the Mark Sanfords, John Ensigns, and Duke Cunninghams.

  65. Baconbits says at 1:27 pm, October 13th, 2009

    GreatOldOnesParty: If only the RNC threw light switch raves…

  66. I just went to the site, but I didn’t get an “O” face. Instead, it just says “P FACES beta.” So I guess they’re transitioning it to some sort of golden shower fetish site. Good move.

  67. One Yield Regular says at 1:40 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Who’s that guy in the photo? I can’t read the name, but he looks like Roy Cohn, the GOP’s bestest hero ever.

  68. Looks like there’s a submit-yer-own-pic plus quote option on the site. Y’all know what to do, right?

  69. lochnessmonster says at 5:50 pm, October 13th, 2009

    Where is Ronnie Raygun? I thought he was the number one GOP God.

  70. I’ve got it: Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney coming out of an “Orgazmatron” together. That’s what they need on the top banner!

  72. Long Form Def Certificate says at 9:51 pm, October 13th, 2009

    teebob2000: Like when Tom Green had his grandmother use a vibrator as an egg-beater.

    … Actually, that’s pretty much use as advertised.
