RedState Will Never Ever Ever Forgive Michael Steele, Ever

by Riley Waggaman  5:49 pm November 2, 2009

  • 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”)”.

maven November 2, 2009 at 5:56 pm

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.

Erick Erickson: “Not one step back.”

AggieDemocrat November 2, 2009 at 6:03 pm

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

SayItWithWookies November 2, 2009 at 6:04 pm

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.

deecaffeinated November 2, 2009 at 6:08 pm

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

Aflac Shrugged November 2, 2009 at 6:09 pm

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

CapnFatback November 2, 2009 at 6:12 pm

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?

NYNYNY November 2, 2009 at 6:19 pm

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

Hooray For Anything November 2, 2009 at 6:19 pm

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.”

Mr Blifil November 2, 2009 at 6:27 pm

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

[re=448683]PoignancySelz[/re]: 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.

CaliforniaMike November 2, 2009 at 6:47 pm

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.

Joshua Norton November 2, 2009 at 7:04 pm

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.

user-of-owls November 2, 2009 at 7:06 pm

You know who ELSE purged, don’t you?!

Mao, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro and Karen Carpenter.

Extemporanus November 2, 2009 at 7:09 pm

[re=448652]CapnFatback[/re]: 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.

Cedar November 2, 2009 at 7:22 pm

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?

Cedar November 2, 2009 at 7:23 pm

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.

AnnieGetYourFun November 2, 2009 at 7:26 pm

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.

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

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.

octupletsmom November 2, 2009 at 7:59 pm

[re=448729]Cedar[/re]: “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.

rocktonsammy November 2, 2009 at 8:24 pm

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

ifthethunderdontgetya" November 2, 2009 at 8:24 pm

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.

TVarmy November 2, 2009 at 8:35 pm

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.

TVarmy November 2, 2009 at 8:37 pm

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.

ifthethunderdontgetya" November 2, 2009 at 8:46 pm

[re=448774]TVarmy[/re]: How about: When you want jumbo shrimp and life deals you popcorn, you stamp your little feets and hold your breath.

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

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.

Paul Tardy November 2, 2009 at 9:50 pm

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

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

WadISay November 2, 2009 at 10:00 pm

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.

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”.

@ 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.”

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?

*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.]

“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.”

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.

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!
