REVENGE CHANTS

Heroes Occupy Lieberman’s Office To Chant Hero Songs

So nine martyr-combatants stormed and briefly occupied the office of Joe Lieberman this morning. After chanting about health care—”Everyone in and no one out, universal health care now!” and “Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!”—they were dragged away and arrested. MEANWHILE: We have not yet heard from Editor Jim Newell this morning! [TPM]

    Newell’s sneaking through the air ducts as we speak, dressed as a ginger ninja.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 11:54 am, November 5th, 2009

    If anyone sees a ginger being dragged off while yelling that he’s too pretty for jail, please let Juli know. So she can order lunch, since she’ll be here all day.

    Jim has planted surveillance devices in Lieberschmuck’s office and is now headed to Michele “Bats*** Crazy” Bachman’s office.

  4. Can’t the protesters come up with slogans that are at least a bit clever? Oh wait, they’re from Code Pink; they can’t. Lieberman vs. Code Pink is truly a battle of the douchebags.

  5. Jim89048 says at 11:56 am, November 5th, 2009

    Did they wait to see the whites of his eyes? Because I think he’s so full of shit that they aren’t white anymore.

    NOT teabaggery I can believe in.

  6. They gonna arrest the 3,000 strong batshit pigfuckers who are about to “storm” the Capitol and hold a sit-in in Pelosi’s office?

    Someone could get shot today.

  7. thefrontpage says at 11:58 am, November 5th, 2009

    What a bunch of morans.

  8. There HAS got to be a smarter way to convince people of your point of view than group chanting.
    Interpretive dance, socks puppets, anything.

  9. Monsieur Grumpe says at 12:02 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Not Newell! Noooooooooooo!
    Sniff.
    So who’s going to replace him?

  10. Next Great Pwndit says at 12:02 pm, November 5th, 2009

    The Joementum from this game-changing event will sweep the nation.

  11. Dashboard_Buddha says at 12:02 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Yay, our own teabaggers! And by yay, I mean fuck.

  12. SmutBoffin says at 12:02 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Wonkett is down to its last editor? Fuck. Don’t worry, Juli, just link to some live feed of Teabaggers at the capitol and declare an open thread. Fun for all!

  13. hunter.blatherer says at 12:03 pm, November 5th, 2009

    I think they misread Michelle Bachmann’s talking points? Isn’t she the one leading the barbarians through Congress?

  14. memzilla: The batshit Bachmann is actually trying to lead her own little army of teabaggers to storm the Capitol and scare Congress against health reform: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_11/020812.php

  15. MarieDeGournay says at 12:04 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Please, Mr. Newell, please take a big steaming dump on Lieberman’s desk.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 12:04 pm, November 5th, 2009

    JMP:
    “What do we want?”
    “Universal healthcare with a robust public option, no triggers, and possibly an opt-out clause if that’s what it takes to get through the Senate!”
    “When do we want it?”
    “Phased in by 2013 at the very latest!”

  17. freakishlystrong says at 12:04 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Jesus, teabaggers and Codepinkers, this should be grand day.

  18. Monsieur Grumpe: Promotion for Riley? The mysterious Mizz Wonkette? Baby K. Smith?

  19. taylormattd says at 12:06 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Fine, fine. I’ll let Jim put his clothes back on and leave.

  20. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:06 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Prommie: 3,000? Hell, more like 30 — 29 of which will be staff from Politico.

  21. freakishlystrong: It could be the greatest day for violence in Congress since the caning of Charles Sumner.

  22. binarian says at 12:12 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Anyone checking with the local bailbondsmen?

  23. SmutBoffin says at 12:15 pm, November 5th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: Jesus is coming back today? Somehow, I think the ‘baggers would hurl teabags or whatever at him for preaching his ol’ “love they neighbor” routine…

  24. I dunno. It’s doesn’t have a good beat, and you can’t dance to it.

  25. magic titty says at 12:19 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Maybe he’s busy fucking Mizz Wonkette??

  26. This is fun and all but when are we going to talk about Carrie Prejean’s newly uncovered sex video? I got all kind of stuff ready.

  27. The Little Rock says at 12:20 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Does this mean that Mizz Wonkette will be Live Blogging Bachmann-polooza?

  28. Toomush Infermashun says at 12:20 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Since Joe’s just been shoppin’ for the highest bidder, what do you think it would cost us just to get him to leave office…?

  29. the problem child says at 12:22 pm, November 5th, 2009

    It’s the Guy Fawkes Congressional riots!~
    Remember, remember the fifth of November
    Gunpowder, treason and plot.
    I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot.

    Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
    Gunpowder, treason and plot!
    A stick or a stake for Pelosi’s sake
    Will you please to give us a faggot
    If you can’t give us one, we’ll take two;
    The better for us and the worse for you!

  30. freakishlystrong says at 12:23 pm, November 5th, 2009

    SmutBoffin:
    Jesus. Period not comma, period not comma. It’s amazing isn’t it? How all these hateful, shouty assholes self-identify as Christians? They make baby Jebus cry.

  31. the problem child says at 12:25 pm, November 5th, 2009

    the problem child: Or possibly the Fawkes News Congressional Riots

  32. “The Senator is unavailable.”

    “Shit. We’ve been practicing this douche bag chant all morning. Fuck it! We’re going for it! On three…”

  33. Nappied Hypotenuse says at 12:30 pm, November 5th, 2009

    First they came for SKS, and I said nothing because I was distracted by the edible baby.
    Then they came for Ken Layne, and I said nothing because I was jealous of his book deal.
    Then they came for Jim Newell, and I said nothing because “ginger ninja” is hilarious.
    I might say something when they come for Juli.

  34. trondant says at 12:32 pm, November 5th, 2009
  35. SmutBoffin says at 12:32 pm, November 5th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: It would be hilarious to see, Jebus walking up to a buncha ‘wingers and asking “What’s all this kerfuffle about ‘traditional marriage’ and ’socialism’ and ‘Demoncraps’?” Then he would be clobbered by a Tyvek sign reading “GET YOU’RE HANDS OFF MY GOVERMENT BENFITS!”

  36. the problem child says at 12:33 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Nappied Hypotenuse: We’ve still got intern Riley after that. You might want to hold off on your protest.

  37. Scarab: Campaign donations.

  38. Flanders says at 12:36 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Mr. Wonkett, Mizz Wonkett’s creepy uncle

  39. Flanders says at 12:38 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Scarab: Just in case, right?

  40. hobospacejunkie says at 12:38 pm, November 5th, 2009

    All this commotion is going to upset the senator. He might have to lay down and take a nap, after counting his money again.

  41. In Vinegar Joe’s defense, Connecticut really is only a whole bunch of insurance companies then bedroom communities for folks commuting elsewhere to work.

  42. proudgrampa says at 12:43 pm, November 5th, 2009

    So tell me more about the sex video…

  43. house of the blue lights says at 12:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Forget Jim. (Kicks struggling, bound editor stashed under desk.) By now Baby K is well past the “touch typing” module of Baby Einstein and ready to report for duty.

  44. NixonNow says at 12:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    droopy the vinegar joe should do “sexting” with other olds and not be such a self-hating democrat.

  45. Is it too soon to start a “safe Jim Newel from the teabagers” facebook group?

  46. Rosemaryrules says at 12:51 pm, November 5th, 2009

    They should just put up an electric fence around this retard circus and be done with it.

  47. proudgrampa: She acts out select scenes from Kristin Maguire’s stories.

  48. AnnieGetYourFun says at 12:53 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Where is Jim, anyway? Hiking some sexual trail somewhere?

  49. the problem child says at 12:56 pm, November 5th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Or succumbed to pig aids?

  50. Holy Cow!! says at 12:58 pm, November 5th, 2009

    They should have went Guy Fawkes on him…except, hopefully they’d do it right.

  51. norbizness says at 1:01 pm, November 5th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies:

    “We’re here! We’re queer! We don’t want procedural roadblocks to interfere with an eventual conference committee!”

    “Hey, that’s a pretty catchy chant. Where did you hear it?”

    “At the mustache parade they have every year.”

  52. Hang tight, Juli darling. Remember Nelson at Trafalgar and whatnot.

  53. proudgrampa says at 1:06 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Guppy06: So was this before or after the implants?

  54. hockeymom says at 1:13 pm, November 5th, 2009

    I don’t get why these Teabaggy people are all up in arms about health care. These are the same people who believe that the world is going to end in 2012 and since this won’t be phased in until 2013, why do they care? I don’t think angels are covered under the house bill.

  55. Hope they watched where they stepped in Lieberman’s office. Imagine the trail he leaves -

  56. WideStance says at 1:22 pm, November 5th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: My coworkers were probably wondering why I was laughing, and it’s your fault.

  57. proudgrampa says at 1:59 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Decker: Whatinhell was THAT???

  58. misterfixit says at 2:01 pm, November 5th, 2009

    quick, lets all send Lieberman a package of summers eve to prove he’s a douchebag!

  59. I was trying to visually capture the famous… “It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.”

    It looks more like the alien stools than their unholy rat-child, but you get the idea.

  60. Witsendnj says at 2:30 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Isn’t it time for a Lieberman blingee contest??

  61. slowrunner says at 3:40 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Yeah I have to admit that lieberman is my senator. I just emailed him to tell him what an idiot he is, I will probably get arrested next.

  62. slowrunner: Arrested is nothing, his relationship with the GOP will probably mean you are going to end up in a secret prison in Moldova
