So here’s this new affecting radio spot from the American Future Fund, in which Nancy Pelosi is a pirate, right?, because her last name begins with “P”. No, wait. Nancy Pelosi is like the Speaker of the House pirate who is forcing all the other Congress pirates to walk the plank, even though they’re her own crew members. It’s like actual pirates do, yeah? [YouTube]
Ninjas.
What about ninjas?!
That guy at the end talking with a mouth full of liquid, is that supposed to be Larry Craig?
Michael Steele says he’s “coming after you” when speaking to moderates. This either means he’s whoring out to Conservatives, or he literally will kill every moderate Republican left. It doesn’t SEEM like a good idea for the GOP, but who are we to judge the ongoing GENIUS of Mr. Steele?
I thought they were pirates… Pooh Pirates?
I don’t know which is funnier/more disturbing:
1) They assume that everyone knows what the sound of walking the plank is
2) Nancy Pelosi is making them walk the plank before they vote
3) When they asked me if I recognized the sound, it reminded me of my bedroom after the last big party I went to.
ZOMG, if Nancy Pelosi turns out to be a pirate she will be the best Speaker of the House, like, evar. Imagine what’d happen if you got out of order on the floor! She’d walk your ass off a plank from the top of the dome so fast! She could even steer the Capitol — Crimson Permanent Assurance-style — over to London and attack the Palace of Westminster!
YAAAAAARRRRRRR!
I hate to break it to these guys, but health reform is actually popular and voting for it will only hurt Democrats with the insurance lobbyists, not voters.
ManchuCandidate: Where do you think the phrase “swab the poop deck” comes from?
But Larry Craig and Mark Foley were Butt Pirates.
JMP: yeah, what is with this frantic belief that health reform is unpopular and is being forced on an unwilling public? it isn’t, and checking polls for the past few months does not show that …. unless you count the kook “poll” the RNC sent out. perhaps if they saw the numbers they’d realize what a terrible mistake they made? Cliff Clavin included.
The American Future Fund is an Iowa PAC supporting Ia. Rethuglican Gov. Terry Branstad in his bid for a 5th term.
In a recent meeting with social conservatives, Branstad had to respond to question about why he hadn’t cut Iowa state government during his prior terms.
Using the Iowa Commission for the Blind as an example, “Branstad said the organization didn’t get cut during his administration ‘because the Legislature just couldn’t take the heat from the tap-tap-tap of the white canes.’” http://iowaindependent.com/21819/dems-continue-to-slam-branstad-for-comments-to-conservative-leaders 11-05-09
“tap-tap-tap”. Get it? The blinds are as queer as Larry Craig. At least I think that’s what Branstad meant.
Those Pilosi Pirates are crying like little girls. The RNC or whoever made this gem is unhip to pop culture and the (after Somalia admittedly on the way out but still)adoration of all things pirate.
Wow — that’s an exceedingly stupid metaphor even for Republicans. But it is more evidence that the right’s criticism of the left can generally be attributed to them projecting their own flaws and vices onto others, as the GOP is the party cutting itself into little pieces right now.

Great Old Ones Party: Hawt piracy blingee!
Great Old Ones Party: Gotta love the way they wear their eyepatch underwear, at least.
Erik Erickson mails eyepatches to Pelosi in 3…2…1…
AggieDemocrat: Did you see that picture of Pelosi (and Biden and Obama) looking at Wilson after his outburst? Who needs a pirate?
Pirates, Nazis, angry and scary black men, teabagging, NOM’s 2m4m, etc….all wingnut rhetoric comes down to the key phrases in their slash fiction, doesn’t it?
Did you read the lastest Noonan? We are governed by callouses. I agree.
