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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What a bunch of morans.
There HAS got to be a smarter way to convince people of your point of view than group chanting.
Interpretive dance, socks puppets, anything.
Not Newell! Noooooooooooo!
Sniff.
So who’s going to replace him?
The Joementum from this game-changing event will sweep the nation.
Yay, our own teabaggers! And by yay, I mean fuck.
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!
I think they misread Michelle Bachmann’s talking points? Isn’t she the one leading the barbarians through Congress?
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
Please, Mr. Newell, please take a big steaming dump on Lieberman’s desk.
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!”
Jesus, teabaggers and Codepinkers, this should be grand day.
Monsieur Grumpe: Promotion for Riley? The mysterious Mizz Wonkette? Baby K. Smith?
Fine, fine. I’ll let Jim put his clothes back on and leave.
Prommie: 3,000? Hell, more like 30 — 29 of which will be staff from Politico.
freakishlystrong: It could be the greatest day for violence in Congress since the caning of Charles Sumner.
Anyone checking with the local bailbondsmen?
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…
I dunno. It’s doesn’t have a good beat, and you can’t dance to it.
Maybe he’s busy fucking Mizz Wonkette??
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.
Does this mean that Mizz Wonkette will be Live Blogging Bachmann-polooza?
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…?
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!
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.
the problem child: Or possibly the Fawkes News Congressional Riots
“The Senator is unavailable.”
“Shit. We’ve been practicing this douche bag chant all morning. Fuck it! We’re going for it! On three…”
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.
the problem child: Win!
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!”
Nappied Hypotenuse: We’ve still got intern Riley after that. You might want to hold off on your protest.
Scarab: Campaign donations.
Monsieur Grumpe: Mr. Wonkett, Mizz Wonkett’s creepy uncle
Scarab: Just in case, right?
All this commotion is going to upset the senator. He might have to lay down and take a nap, after counting his money again.
In Vinegar Joe’s defense, Connecticut really is only a whole bunch of insurance companies then bedroom communities for folks commuting elsewhere to work.
So tell me more about the sex video…
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.
droopy the vinegar joe should do “sexting” with other olds and not be such a self-hating democrat.
Is it too soon to start a “safe Jim Newel from the teabagers” facebook group?
They should just put up an electric fence around this retard circus and be done with it.
proudgrampa: She acts out select scenes from Kristin Maguire’s stories.
Where is Jim, anyway? Hiking some sexual trail somewhere?
AnnieGetYourFun: Or succumbed to pig aids?
They should have went Guy Fawkes on him…except, hopefully they’d do it right.
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.”
Hang tight, Juli darling. Remember Nelson at Trafalgar and whatnot.
Guppy06: So was this before or after the implants?
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.
Hope they watched where they stepped in Lieberman’s office. Imagine the trail he leaves -

SayItWithWookies: My coworkers were probably wondering why I was laughing, and it’s your fault.
Decker: Whatinhell was THAT???
quick, lets all send Lieberman a package of summers eve to prove he’s a douchebag!
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.
Isn’t it time for a Lieberman blingee contest??
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.
slowrunner: Arrested is nothing, his relationship with the GOP will probably mean you are going to end up in a secret prison in Moldova
