Michael Steele you have got to stop it with the funny today, we can’t take much more. NO NO DON’T GO ON TV! Oh no he’s going to say something too hilarious! Uh oh: “It’s a new platform for us. It’s not even really a web site.” No! A website is *exactly* what it is! This is too much. Let’s read some arbitrary news outlet to get away from all this, it doesn’t matter which… ah, New York Daily News, as good a choice as any, let’s see what’s in the ollll’ NYDN… “GOP Posts Password, Admin Instructions on New Web Site.” GAHH. [TPM, NYDN]











You need better than a 386 to run a website these days. Who knew?
What’s worse, all the GOP carrier pigeons have the Bird AIDS.
Oh man — if their site is ever more than a network error message, I’m going to have some fun.
He is just too adorable.
Since it loads all ass-backwards it’s the PERFECT website for the GOP. Steele FAIL. Again.
It’s more like a Splatform.
Zero Bothans died to bring us this information.
It’s so full of WIN!
Maybe he should twitter something to discuss his appearance on the teevee to respond to reporting on his not-a-website.
Michael Steele should get a Nobel fail prize. Yeah, Michael!
yeah, that’s what the GOP needs, a “new tool”.
Michael Steele is not even really a black man. Or a man. He is a Dreyfussbot 3000, a rogue machine engineered during Richard Dreyfuss’s heyday. Michael Steele, a.k.a DBot3000.176XR, is characterized by his overactive pigment chip and penchant for unintelligible verball diarrhea. He is considered robo-armed and extremely embarrassing.
Steele’s not even really black. And the Republicans are really even a party anymore. And I’m not really that bored with gravity, now that I think about it.
The GOP does everything in a humiliatingly public beta fashion. “the kinks have to get worked out.” Just like the Iraq War, Sarah Palin, the Contract with America, foreign diplomacy, etc. Heckuva job, GOP web designerz.
Apparently “The Intertubes for Dummies” is too high level even for Steele.
As a telecom engineer, I recommend that the GOP forget that whole intertubes, wireless or even old wireline phones (and certainly no Jitterbug phones) and look into “Tin Cans with String” technology as it is more their, er, speed.
It’s not a website. It’s http://www.gop.com. It’s a beta site, but it’s not a really a site, it’s just a beta website at http://www.gop.com. Don’t you ass-wholes understand?
“GOP.com is officially recruiting volunteer coders to work with our API. If you write in PHP (the base code of Facebook), and develop applications that we approve of and use at GOP.com, you will be eligible to join the Founder’s Club, the team that starts-up the first open API effort for any major political party. Members of the Founder’s Club will enjoy direct access to the RNC’s new media and technology teams, product previews and will also visit regularly with RNC Chairman, Michael Steele. For instructions on how to access our sandbox,” [...]
O.M.G.
This is not really a website. It is more like a billboard painted on your computer monitor. Our a magazine page transmitted through magic tubes with electrons and stuff.
“It’s not a house”, said Judas Priest
“It’s not a house, it’s a home”
Oh me. Oh my, this made me giggle.
http://hammerandsteele.com/?u=www.foxnews.com
What, he’s a French Surrealist now? Ceci n’est pas une website.
Like most conservatives who go on the teevee to talk about the intertubes, Steele probably has no fucking idea what a web site actually is. Or a platform.
Country Club Jihadi: Nice.
And that’s what we need, another webshit.
Oh man. This reminds me of when the fat girl who has a huge crush on the asshole jock and the asshole jock finds out and he and his asshole buddies makes oinking noises when she walks by and she says she never really liked him anyway. This was never really a website anyway, was it Michael? Oh, man.
plat⋅form –noun
a place for public discussion; forum. (Like on your website, ya choad?)
Or maybe he meant ‘a decklike construction on which the drill rig of an offshore oil or gas well is erected’.
“Republican faces need yours”
What the fuck does that even mean?
I kept getting a PHP error message. But PHP is free, public domain (socialist!) software designed by some sort of Marxist Danish guy. Why does the GOP hate capitalism so much?
I suspect their IT Dept. consists of Larry the Cable Guy, Joe the Plumber, a role of duct tape, some aluminum foil and a bible.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: I’ve been saying forever that “Michael Steele” is actually Larry David doing some Borat-level gonzo performance art.
If only the GOP website featured a walk on greeting by Jeebus. That would get my vote.
The “I’m a Republican because…” part of the Republican Faces thingy is hysterical. “I’m a Republican because I lack any real knowledge of what the party is about. I really like buzz words like ‘family values’ but I lack the understanding to realize the GOP is taking away my power to live an even marginally decent life by redistributing all the wealth to the top 1% or less of the population and giving all real power to corporations only concerned with their own profits.”
Good times!
Suprisingly, the website is clear as a whistle on Skoalrebels commodore 64.
I went to the site and it simply loaded a blank white page. It certainly is a very creative way to illustrate the general orientation of the GOP.
Skoalrebel has a better grasp of the internet than these fools.
“a new tool to communicate the new GOP” — in other words, it was programmed by some overweight white guy in Toledo while he was drinking his PBR and cleaning his AK-47.
Suds McKenzie: Nice.
“It’s a new GOP”
OH! The NEW Grand OLD Party!
It’s like getting your virginity back !
It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping!
Just keep repeating, “this is not a Web site, this is not a Web site”. It’s not a Web site until Michael says it is. So there!
I adore the fact that under “accomplishments” 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom is listed without a hint of irony. Oh, and that apparently the last GOP “accomplishment” was in 2004.
MS, no, don’t say it!! I’ve laughed too much today already at your monumental fails!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
*choke choke*
Sharkey: But, they even paid extra to have that “math chip” installed. And they lost the receipt.
Chumley: Belgian surrealist. I know– I used up my pedant quota for the week and its only Tuesday.
Saxby Coburg: I am genuinely surprised that they aren’t running on some kind of .Net solution, big business and all that.
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 7C82A01A
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no fooling around …
The GOP IT department has obviously not been praying hard enough.
Dave J.: You say David, I say Dreyfuss, the world’s a meshuggenah place!
Hollah, GOP! What up, my nizzles?! Gettin’ funky like an ol’ mess a collard greens! Suburban-Urban hip hop flavah, stove top style right atchah!
I would go there but I’m afraid of teh compuder trojan AIDS.
And what the fuck is a “republican engineer or coder”? Do they have, like, different schools? Can html, you know… trickle down?
He wants to “take this party to the streets”? So he’s having a party and his non-website is for invites? Or, he’s taking the Republican Part to the streets Doobie Brothers style? He’s so not on his game today.
well, it’s cool cuz the GOP isn’t even a party. It’s more like a movement, a steamy, corn-studded movement.
“We’re taking this party to the streets, which is why we’re launching a website.” Sharkey: Pfft.; a 386? Ballin’ shot callahs like Michael ‘Tha Steal’ Steele use only the finest of TRS-80s. But they might better spend their time doing some actual work, instead of playing Dungeons of Daggorath for hours on end.
Don’t worry about the security problems, either; GOP.com didn’t really post the administrator’s password, it posted the access code.
GOP 2009 Accomplishment:
Created the best laugh on teh Web since LOLcatz.
the repeatedly demonstrated disjunction with reality is the central defining characteristic of the republican party, as it has been for the past half-century or so. occasionally during that time they have gotten lucky and have achieved what may pass for a while as success, but their resting state has been that of an ideology essentially out of touch and floundering about. this latest snafu is no exception, it is their rule.
@TheJerkStoreCalled
We cannot both exist at the same time, or the universe will implode. How do propose we resolve this temporal disturbance?
Country Club Jihadi: You mean, like this?
In short,
Shep: “Gay gay gay .. gay gay gay gay”
Steele: “Yo man…takin it to the streets boyeeeee. GOP is Hip Hop. I hate myself. ”
Shep: “Gay gay.”
Steele: “You’re gaycom”
Hard to believe that Michael Steele got the job over this guy.
Hee hee
http://hammerandsteele.com/?u=www.wonkette.com
Ummm why are they advertising something that doesn’t work? Is that the new “on the streets”…they sayin’ people ain’t workin’so the interwires and tubes ain’t either, you got to get out on the street?
Cheney Guevara: You are a human monkey wrench. Ha!
why are you a republican?
uhhh…because i’m white and stupid?
[what do i win?]
Awwww, the GOP’s “Heroes” section is simply pweshus. Why, they’ve even included this Louisiana rapscallion, right alongside Saint Ronnie. So inclusive and timely!
JerkStore: What the…?
I yield to your more succinct moniker. Now make us proud (sniff)
snideinplainsight: Product reviews? Of what? Guns? Spell checkers for “Wake Up Morans!” signs? Stars and Bars flags?
Also, what’s sadder–the epic FAIL that is Mr. Steele, or the fact that more than about 10 people take the GOP seriously? The G(r)OPers are doing half the job for us, but the rest of us need to step up and finish the job, so that, by 2012, the GOP is as relevant as the Whigs. Actually, the GOP would improve if they became the Whigs. No word yet on how good the Whigs were at html coding, however.
Why doesn’t Ronald Reagan return from the dead and make this all run like clockwork?
I am just amazed that our belovéd America has not completely collapsed in on itself before now. If any Republican is ever elected to anything again, I leaving the United States for some other country like Alaska.
Highlighted Republican hero on gop.com: Picney Pinchback. Huh? WTF? Did a Wonketeer hack the site to Mr. Pinchback that or is it for real? Or did they hire the staff from The Onion to do this?
This is why chillren don’t need no edumucation. High school should be about football and only football.
The Steele non-website loads, so to speak. Not many commenters, tho. I SAID, NOT MANY COMMENTERS, THO. :

TheJerkStoreCalled: I like yours better, quitter. Did Michael Steele quit when the doctor’s told him he had terminal Uncle Tom-itis? NO! Did Glenn Beck quit when his parents informed him he had a sow’s vagina for a mouth? I THINK NOT! Did Rush Limbaugh quit when his Oxy dealer fucked him in the ass so hard his rectum prolapsed like a pink sock!? NEVARRRRRRR!
Keep on chooglin’….
I warned them that relying on a Steam Powered Website was a Bad Idea.
snideinplainsight:
Michael Steele is inviting code kiddies to join him in the GOP sandbox? Yep, he’s a Republican.
It’s a shame they can’t find somebody to nigger-rig it.
ScaredShitless: I had to check Wikipedia on that one myself, I thought Shortsx3 had been hard at work. But, alas, he was one of the first african-american govenor of a state, or something like that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._B._S._Pinchback
I proceeded under the assumption that the website would greet me as a liberator.
Flanders: From the Wikipedia entry:
…he served as the governor of Louisiana for 35 days…
You Republicans are really reaching, ain’t you?

JUST KIDDING!! haw haw haw haw I’ve been laughing my ass off all DAY!! haw haw. Now I have to go make dinner. I can’t wait to see what new dimension of Fail this platformy non-web site has entered when I get back! Haw haw haw
S.Luggo:
They appear to be moderating the comments. Probably a smart move. LOL
Next up: it isn’t really GOP.com, but GoPee.com, a site for golden shower fetish fans.
Actually, that sounds like something GOP.com followers might like.
Neilist: Oh but they had to go for that retro charm.
bringin’ tha Blingage!
snideinplainsight: Hey! I’m apparently a lot better at coding PHP than Republicans! I’m totally gonna sign….whoa, whoa, whoa, “volunteer” coders? Fuck you, you socialist communist Republican hippies!

http://blingee.com/blingee/view/100547654-The-New-Face-of-the-GOP
We’re making fun of the website GOP.com becuz it has teh kinks? I thought it was becuz it was full of funny looking faces. And it looks like it was designed by skoalrebel. Or skoalrebel’s retarded cousin.
Okay, consider me “briefed” and “up-to-speed.”
V572625694: That’s what they asked for, but they got a jury-rig instead. Stupid contractors.
Yeah, the comments show up slower than on Wonkette (ZING!). They may have a keyword filter for lobotomy, tho.
Sharkey: don’t you mean…
N*gger Rigged?
http://wonkette.com/411547/defend-this-atlanta-mans-right-to-free-racist-joke-speech
Oh, and I heard that it’s possible to design and build a website before you publish it. Can somebody check on this?
El Pinche: I got one driving home. G{[El Pinche avatar]}P + blingee. I’d do it myself but those learning curves kill me and I have to wash my SmartCar before tonite’s airing of Frontline, Obama’s War, Poignancy Sells, and/or why we need more troops.

It’s not a website?
Really?
The same way that Bush wasn’t really a President?
Sharkey: You mean better than a 386 on the SAT? Really?
From the blog:
Why are you are Republican? Think about that for a minute.
Is tough question is.
This is not a website…
Thiiiiis is not a website
Somewhere out there, Johnny Lydon is laughing.
I’m going over to the other side
I’m happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I’m inside free enterprise
GreatOldOnesParty: For all you do, this face of the GOP is for you!
(It needs blood, huh?)
This is my favorite aspect of the site so far- in the (presumably heavily moderated) comments on Steele’s first blog entry, there are the following two sequential comments by the same guy.

Sometimes I wonder what brings one to, what mentality and under what circumstances does one come to the conclusion that they are a certain political affiliation? Must one keep the faith once they make the decision? I have always been a Republican and am proud of it. Next time someone asks, I’ll just show them my card.
Posted by Joe McGee on 10/13/2009 11:07:26 AM
Why bother with screen names if users’ real names are going to show up in public anyway?

stolichnayaaa: i actually think he’s posted in here before.
Cheney Guevara: That is the kicker.
I can’t take anymore. My stomach aches from laughing too much.
GreatOldOnesParty: That black dude looks like Cornell West swallowed Rash Phlegmball. The face of the New GOP! Now with Blingee!
Heckuvajob Steely.
GreatOldOnesParty: HA!
I actually started to make a goatse one, but I had to bail out. Maybe I’ll try again when it’s not so close to dinner time.
Or perhaps there’s a brave, sick soul among us willing to step into the breach?..
On the “Our GOP” tab, one of us has put in Ted Bundy as a member in two places. Laughed till the back of my head hurt.
Extemporanus: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g178/Nyx9_2006/GOPedobear.jpg
Darn it. They definitely blocked my comment. All I did was suggest that some of those people in the banner looked like potential Obama voters and need to be checked out.
It’s not a truck!
Hey guys, sorry if this has been brought up somewhere else, but what the fuck is up with the site referring to Reagan as “Ronaldus Magnus”? Am I missing something?
Cathangover: I totally called BS on that!
This thing has ‘parody’ written all over it.
Could it be that the republitards are beginning to understand irony?
and I still prefer the terms “Reaganus Maximus” or “Ronaldus Prime”.
Cathangover:
Oh, it’s about what you thought. I googled it. Extreme worship of Ronald W. Reagan.
http://ronaldusmagnus.com/
Let’s see if there’s any intelligent discussion on these new forums…
“We shold ban snowe from the senate. she is more like a demoncrat than a member of the republican party. she should just join that traitor from PA in the demoncrat party (i can’t even say his name because he’s scum) - Where is Maine’s Toomey?!”
Fuck. Never mind.
PrairiePossum: And a pinch of SkoalRebel.
Extemporanus: Nice!
Native of SL UT: “Republican faces need yours”

AbstinenceOnly Ed: But I’m like a point guard, knowing exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can… ah, fuck it.
Come on, guys! This isn’t even reality? It’s just a manifestation of some consciousness in another dimension! Really, guys! Cut it out!
They truly are shockingly incompetent. And they want to what?…run the country again?
If the American people fall for this again, I’m telling you, I’m on the first fucking flight to Canada.
Can I just start the day by telling all of you how funny you are and how it makes my day when I come here and remember that not all Americans are f*ing stupid.
No, guys, he’s right; it’s literally a platform. This new “GOP.com” is something you can set up on a street corner, stand on, and make speeches from. And the passwords were given out because this is a real grassroots operation! No astroturf; everyone’s a leader, just like in those anarchist demonstrations.
Not only is it a “website” but it is possibly Christmas come early. Create and account and a login, (no email verification needed, natch. Or maybe my choice of DickCheneyWorldRuler@hotmail.com flew under the radar) and begin participating in their discussions. Question 1: “Why are you a Republican?” Its like a softball from Jesus!!!
Just looked at the “Heroes” section…didn’t anyone tell them that Jackie Robinson was NOT a Republican?
Native of SL UT: They’re not longer satisfied with just brains.
thank you so much
