RedState Will Never Ever Ever Forgive Michael Steele, Ever

  • Erick Erickson insists upon a Great Purge to keep the GOP pure. Erick, you sick sick Stalinist bastard! [RedState]
  • Sarah Palin is “ready” to be “president,” according to “Rush” “Limbaugh.” [Gateway Pundit]
  • Who else is on the CIA payroll, besides Ahmed Wali Karzai and Luis Posada Carriles? The answer will not surprise you in the least. [The Plank]
  • Oh, GREAT: The terrorists get free swine flu vaccines while pregnant women and stray children are encouraged to stock up on Emergen-C and hope for the best. This is health care reform? We want America back! [Ace of Spades]
  • Remember when Bill Clinton parachuted into North Korea and whispered delicious lies into Kim Jong-il’s tender ear and then saved two lady-journalists from a decade of slave labor? Yeah well, that part about Kim Jong-il never actually happened — hot damn, it was Photoshopped! [Daily Intel]

    “Rush” says Sarah “is” ready. “Because” she is ebullient. I do not “think” that word means what “he” thinks it means. (But I do love random quote marks”)”.

  2. Bringing the bar lower and lower is in Rush’s interest, because after all, if Palin is qualified to be POTUS, certainly he ought to be qualified for some kind of government job. And then Ann Coulter could be “ready” to be a supreme court judge, etc.

  3. MarieDeGournay says at 6:03 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Erick Erickson: “Not one step back.”

  4. AggieDemocrat says at 6:03 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    A Kim Jong-Il impersonator? Hell, I think he was actually in the Pyongyang Madam Tussaud’s. Also.

  5. SayItWithWookies says at 6:04 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Oh, for once I hope Erick Son of Erick gets his dream and rides out all the mealymouthed spineless traitors who have ruined his glorious GOP. And then the twenty Pure Souls who are left will start down the long path of rebuilding the party.

  6. deecaffeinated says at 6:08 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Thank God Rush understands that a president doesn’t need “conventional wisdom”, or to know about “the issues”, or to be “smart”.

  7. Aflac Shrugged says at 6:09 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    What a coincidence! I can’t help but think of RedState when I have my Great Purge every morning.

  8. CapnFatback says at 6:12 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Okay, so should we expect Erickson to urge his followers to send copies of Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s “Rust Never Sleeps” to Steele’s office now?

  9. Fredrica, pregnant or not, women can’t be given flu vaccines. They must pay for it. That is ape law.

  10. Hooray For Anything says at 6:19 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Limbaugh’s right, actually, in that she’s “ready” to be “president” in that she meets all the requirements laid out in the Constitution as to who can and who cannot run for President. Which is why I too can go around saying “I’m ready to be President.”

  11. Mr Blifil says at 6:27 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Why would you send me to “Ace of Spades?” Please insert “brain bleach” reference…

  12. PoignancySelz says at 6:32 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Maybe this will help>

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj4vQCA0fo4&feature=related

    Need a little Lemmy now and then.

  13. One Yield Regular says at 6:36 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: Show us your birf certificate, puppy.

  14. Mr Blifil says at 6:37 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    PoignancySelz: Thanks. It was already on my desert island disc list. I was at Max’s Kansas City the day they closed the door forever, and that video played at the bar. I had never even heard of Motorhead until that night. Oh and the Bad Brains were the headliners, shortly after their move to NYC. Not a bad evening out all told.

  15. CaliforniaMike says at 6:47 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Snowbilly has no chance at all of actually being president. Oh, she could get elected by the brain-deads, the illiterate and the Rushtafarians, but as for “being” president, she would “be” president about as much as Junior was.

    She has much more chance of being the fourth Mrs. Rush Limbaugh.

  16. PoignancySelz says at 6:52 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Bad Brains iz the fastest, saw ‘em with Black Flag one night. Not a bad evening all told.
    Saw Lemmy 1st on a Young Ones episode in the 80’s and my well-versed teenagers dig that song too.

  17. populucious says at 6:53 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Well “I” am “Ready” to be “Mrs. George Clooney”. “I” am also “Ready” to “Hit it Big” in the “Lottery”. “Why” haven’t these “Things” “Happened” “Yet”?

  18. DemmeFatale says at 6:59 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: PoignancySelz: Believe it or not, my hard-core, punk rock brother named his daughter(?) Lemmy.

  19. Long Form Def Certificate says at 7:00 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: That Rush, always so slick.

    Except with the DEA.

  20. Joshua Norton says at 7:04 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Has anybody ever told “Rush” that he’s named after a sexual enhancement product? Nothing like a good hit of Rush when you’re teabagging.

  21. user-of-owls says at 7:06 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    You know who ELSE purged, don’t you?!

    Mao, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro and Karen Carpenter.

  22. Extemporanus says at 7:09 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    CapnFatback: He’d urge his followers to send Oreos, but there’s no way in hell that they’d be able to resist eating them all on the way to the post office.

    Perhaps they could send him cowbells. A cow on the tracks can never have enough cowbell.

  23. What the hell is this Ace of Spades thing? I’m especially baffled by the last paragraph of that link–”look longingly at their tonsils and feet”? What does that mean? And the jab at greedy MDs hacking up the detainees for money–is that a stereotype I’m not at all familiar with? Who’s the bad guy here?

  24. Oh wait–is it the Ace of Spades guy who once compared vaginas to something incongruous, like play doh? That still doesn’t explain the doctor thing.

  25. AnnieGetYourFun says at 7:26 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    One thing I do not do is follow conventional wisdom. And the conventional wisdom is that Sarah Palin is not smart enough. She’s a little unsophisticated. Alaska, where’s that? She doesn’t have the pedigree.

    The problem, Rush, isn’t that the general public doesn’t know where Alaska is, or thinks that it is geographically too far away to produce a viable candidate for the office of President of the United States of America (although it is). It’s that Sarah Palin herself couldn’t find the fucking state on a map if you colored it bright green and drew flying moose all around it.

    She is that fucking dumb. That’s not conventional wisdom. That is fact.

  26. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 7:26 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    If a fake Kim Jong-il gave in to Clinton’s lies, would that mean that they really didn’t have sex?

    The creepiest thing about watching the Limbaugh video is when they went to a wide shot and you got a look at his sickly pale old-man legs, since there is apparently a law that in south Florida that old rich men can’t wear socks. Actually, Limbaugh just looked sickly. If he wasn’t rich, the man wouldn’t have sex for the rest of his life. Thank God young Hispanic boys run so cheap.

    SayItWithWookies: 72 virgins is not enough for a man as pure as Erik, son of Erik.

  27. Jim89048 says at 7:35 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Apropos of nothing, but so messy!

  28. PoignancySelz says at 7:57 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: If simpleton isn’t enough, she’s also a fraudulent phony.

  29. octupletsmom says at 7:59 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Cedar: “longingly at their tonsils and feet”. I don’t have the Magic Decoder Ring for that one, either. Even if there were bars between my doctor and me, the doc could see more than those. And my doctor only looks longingly at my HCl numbers, which are especially good. I can’t imagine that our terrorists, as a group, are all endowed with these special features to envy. Most regular doctors don’t even really DO feet.

  30. rocktonsammy says at 8:24 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    “Rush” could be the ambassador to “Moronica.”

  31. ifthethunderdontgetya" says at 8:24 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Editor’s Note: I suggest you read carefully as I am not an advocate of purging people like Susan Collins or the typical “RINO” as there are some races where a conservative really cannot win. I am, however, serious that the GOP must purge its staff and leaders who have decided to always go with the liberal. In particular, the NRCC, NRSC, and RNC need some wholesale job terminations of senior staff.

    Shorter Erick son of Erick.

    Unless someone can actually explain that nonsense.
    ~

  32. I think Spades was trying to be ironic. He probably thinks that liberals think doctors are greedy and want to sell people unnecessary procedures, as is their profit motive. Liberals actually think that doctors cost too much because of the HMO kerfuffle, and that medicine should be covered by the state to spread opportunity.

    As for the thing about feet: My guess is that Spades is diabetic, and is mad the doctor said he’ll take his foot if he doesn’t put down the Pepsi.

  33. Erick simply says that RINOs are acceptable when conservatives cannot win. Otherwise GTFO commies.

    In short, he thinks the GOP is too liberal, and that they should go farther right unless it shrinks their numbers. He wants it both ways, and that’s the American dream. When you want popcorn shrimp, but you also want a burger, a real American puts the popcorn shrimp on top of the burger and covers the whole mess in ketchup and tartar sauce.

  34. ifthethunderdontgetya" says at 8:46 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    TVarmy: How about: When you want jumbo shrimp and life deals you popcorn, you stamp your little feets and hold your breath.

    Magic!
    ~

  35. The wingnuts predicted Clinton would be a one term president too. Their track record speaks for itself.

  36. TVarmy: Only thing better on that would be two donuts instead of bread, and vicodin sprinkled all over. We’ll call it “The Limbaugh.”

  37. Humpback: Jonah Golberg predicts that Palin will sweep all the electoral votes in a certain district of Amersterdam. http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2009/07/05/image5135014x.jpg
    Mmmmwahh!

  38. DangerousLiberal says at 9:18 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Really. Unless this is just a gratuitous link to Teh Stoopit. Wake you, you morans!

  39. imissopus says at 9:34 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Oh Riley, Ace of Spades AND RedState in the same day? Truly your country will always remember your sacrifice.

  40. DustBowlBlues says at 9:47 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Nice job on the news roundup, Young Riley, but I tried to scan the redstate opinion, I could only get as far as Jeff Session and the fig leaf. My stomach isn’t strong enough to get beyond that nightmare image.

  41. Paul Tardy says at 9:50 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    “we tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see happening in Pakistan.”

    - Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is prepared to be President.

    Palin-Paul 2012, by then it won’t matter any more.

  42. One way to see if the North Korean you’re dealing with is the real Kim Jong-il is to check him for the clap. Clinton probably thought of that.

  43. DustBowlBlues says at 10:04 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Paul Tardy: A troll drops in to “our” wonkette for a moment to . . . what? After the news roundup provided by “our” Young Riley, we needed more crazy?

    Stick around, Paul T, on the off chance the Republics don’t give us enough wackiness to keep “our” intern busy tomorrow.

  44. proudgrampa says at 10:10 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    Today, we are all ready to be President.

    But whyinhell would we want to be???

  45. ifthethunderdontgetya" says at 10:15 pm, November 2nd, 2009
  46. chascates says at 10:24 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    During the campaign Bill Kristol, in response to how ready his sweetheart was, replied “She’ll have advisers, just like Bush does.”

    Do not want.

  47. Lazy Media says at 10:25 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    I know that stuff just kind of shows up in the allotted ad space, but whoever greenlit the Alka V6 fake cancer treatment patent medicine needs to die in a fire, right now.

  48. Paul Tardy says at 11:00 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    chascates: “parody troll or an actual Paul Tard?” Both!? In ‘08 I donated $300 to Obama(and have an invitation to watch the inauguration from the street to prove it) and $300 to Ron Paul (not including the $20 I sent to the blimp). I now wish I had donated $620 to McCain. As a final note, I have not nor do I plan to buy or even read “End the Fed”.

  49. AnSnarkist says at 11:02 pm, November 2nd, 2009

    @ The H1N1 article:
    Eww, Mike Pence. I’ve had the misfortune of meeting that horrible, petty man. Quotes from my meeting with him, “The Supreme court left the Congress [building], and we’ve never been able to get them under our control ever since.” “People say that there should be separation of church and state. These people should come to the Capitol building to see all the sculptures of angels that we have.”

  50. memzilla says at 12:03 am, November 3rd, 2009

    re: The NY 23 Race + Redstate / Erickson:

    “…we should demand a purge from the party establishment of those people most responsible for the Republican disaster in NY-23.”

    Isn’t this exactly the echo of the divisions between Lenin, Bukharin, Zinoviev, and Trotsky?

    IOW: Hey Erik, Comintern much? Why do you hate America?

  51. Bearbloke says at 12:13 am, November 3rd, 2009

    proudgrampa: “Today, we are all ready to be President.”

    So… my Kenyan birth certificate is useful to me again?

  52. Bearbloke says at 12:20 am, November 3rd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Let the RedState GOP PURGE begin!!!! BLOOD AND HONOUR!!1!!!1!!

  53. zhubajie says at 12:22 am, November 3rd, 2009

    *Erick Erickson insists upon a Great Purge to keep the GOP pure. Erick, you sick sick Stalinist bastard! [RedState]

    I recommend Calomel.

    *Sarah Palin is “ready” to be “president,” according to “Rush” “Limbaugh.” [Gateway Pundit]

    President of what?

    *Who else is on the CIA payroll, besides Ahmed Wali Karzai and Luis Posada Carriles? The answer will not surprise you in the least.

    Who isn’t?

    * Oh, GREAT: The terrorists get free swine flu vaccines while pregnant women and stray children are encouraged to stock up on Emergen-C and hope for the best. This is health care reform? We want America back! [Ace of Spades]

    Everyone knows that these vaccinations will implant nano-robots which will be controlled from the giant radio transmitters built as stadiums back when South Korea and Japan jointly hosted the World Cup of Soccer. This will be the MARK OF THE BEAST! [Check out Texe Marrs for much much more info.]

    *Remember when Bill Clinton parachuted into North Korea and whispered delicious lies into Kim Jong-il’s tender ear and then saved two lady-journalists from a decade of slave labor? Yeah well, that part about Kim Jong-il never actually happened — hot damn, it was Photoshopped! [Daily Intel]

    Who cares? I want to know if the two journo’s did the nasty with Bill! How many times? What positions? Maybe they’ve agreed to form a permanent menage a` trois. I’m sure he’s lucky to get a warm handshake from Hill. :-(

  54. zhubajie says at 12:29 am, November 3rd, 2009

    maven: Surely Rush plans to be pres. some day himself? Or perhaps Cheney to Palin’s Bush.

  55. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:34 am, November 3rd, 2009

    Just remember: “Rush” is what you feel when you snort the powdered oxycontin, “Limbaugh” is what you feel when the drugs clear your body.

  56. zhubajie says at 1:11 am, November 3rd, 2009

    deecaffeinated: Are there any genuinely smart US politicians? Wouldn’t anyone with REAL smarts run away? Fast?

  57. artbot2000 says at 1:11 am, November 3rd, 2009

    “Rush” says he likes Palin’s “spine,” and believes she needs to “bone up.” Well, you now, he has a point. I remember seeing (toe) her Runner’s World photo shoot (toe) for the first time and thinking something like “damn, if I was still on drugs I might vote for that.”

  58. zhubajie says at 1:46 am, November 3rd, 2009

    Paul Tardy: Pakistan has debt-bondage, ie, if you owe money and can’t pay, you work as a slave for your creditor till you pay him back (which is usually never). It wouldn’t surprise me if the Dem(oniac)s and Rep(tilian)s agreed on that “reform” for the USA!

  59. zhubajie says at 1:53 am, November 3rd, 2009

    Joshua Norton: Rush’s old man, Big Rush, was an airman in WW II and flew the Hump, ie, cargo planes from India to Kunming, China. Probably he had a colorful sex life at either end of the trip! Am I right in guessing that the son, Young Rush was a Viet Nam era draft dodger, like most conservative pols?

    Zhu Bajie

  60. zhubajie says at 2:20 am, November 3rd, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: And if you take opiates (as I think Oxycontin is) you become constipated, and hence need a PURGE. Calomel (mercurous chloride, Hg2Cl2) will fix him right up, making him vomit and excrete vigorously! It was the most commonly prescribed medicine of the 19th century, which ought to appeal to real conservatives. It was supposed to cure syphilis, which might help Rush after a trip the DR, too.

  61. gurukalehuru says at 8:21 am, November 3rd, 2009

    It’s time to disband the CIA, on the grounds of their never, ever, ever having gotten anything right.

  62. earnestcivilservant says at 8:59 am, November 3rd, 2009

    Thanks to the clever juxtaposition of news items here, I noticed for the first time that, although pronounced differently, “Palin” is spelled very much like “Stalin.” And she can see Russia from her house. GOP purge, indeed!

  63. finallyhappy says at 9:27 am, November 3rd, 2009

    gurukalehuru: hey, I love the CIA- I’ve eaten at some of their restaurants on the campus near Rhinebeck and some of the graduates are great chefs and pastry chefs. I had a really amazing dessert by one of their grads recently- so I think they get things right. You were talking about the Coulinary Institute of America, of course.

  64. Erick ibn Erick is secretly on our side. Bling and purge.

  65. proudgrampa says at 10:15 am, November 3rd, 2009

    finallyhappy: I never met a CIA chef I didn’t like!

  66. Accordion-o-rama says at 11:55 am, November 3rd, 2009

    zhubajie: Please tell us more about Palin’s Bush.

  67. PlanetWingnuta says at 3:25 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    We are all “ready to be president now. Also.

  68. CaliforniaMike says at 3:31 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    zhubajie: Little Rush escaped the draft because of an anal cyst. Big Rush wound up weighing nearly 400 pounds later in life and pontificating from his living room chair.
