You think that’s tough, just wait’ll you hear what Joe Nueve has to say…

you cannot be serious November 9, 2009 at 6:15 pm

It was Pai Gow poker, Joe Ocho. The olds stick to the nickel slots.

shadowMark November 9, 2009 at 6:15 pm

Doug Hoffman lost. Shouldn’t these people shut up and go away?

Words November 9, 2009 at 6:19 pm

Well, the man studied to be a Jesuit priest, so I’m pretty sure he can handle anything these Rep. twits throw at him. It was a nice change to see a representative vote the way his district wanted him to do.

Larry McAwful November 9, 2009 at 6:20 pm

Joe Ocho sure knows a lot about Asian culture! I wonder if he’s fluent in Asian, too?

Long Form Def Certificate November 9, 2009 at 6:21 pm

His nephew, Chad Ochocinco, disavowed Joe’s apoplexy, adding, “Who Dey!?”

SayItWithWookies November 9, 2009 at 6:22 pm

[re=454439]Todd Mecklem[/re]: There isn’t one — Ocho is enough.

WadISay November 9, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Haha, Joe, Asians go wild for the great taste of eggrolls. Obama promised him more eggrolls, simple as that. The GOP is condemned to permanant minority status until it figures this shit out.

I’ll Try: ANHUS JOSEPHSTALIN MAO IS LIKE ALL THE GOOPITY-VIETNAMESE GAMBLERS PLACING BETS ON WEATHER AMERICA IS GOING 2 DIE AND AMERICA IS LIKE CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. MAO-CAO JUST PUT THE BULLET IN THE CHAMBER THAT WILL CAUSE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO SHOOTBLOW ITS OWN HEAD OFF.

Didn’t he star in Gran Torino?

Snarkalicious November 9, 2009 at 6:27 pm

This is clearly the same kind of asshat who tries to drop an extra fiddy for a ‘happy ending’ when the dental assistant who cleans his teeth is Japanese.

Extemporanus November 9, 2009 at 6:27 pm

HOW COULD AN ASIAN VOTE AGAINST THE OLD PEOPLE? THEY ARE BOTH TERRIBLE DRIVERS!

Hooray For Anything November 9, 2009 at 6:27 pm

If he’s going to think that every Congressman is going to vote by cultural stereotype than I’m guessing Ocho gets upset whenever a Latino Congressman doesn’t sleep all afternoon or a black congressman doesn’t sit around singing work songs.

Extemporanus November 9, 2009 at 6:28 pm

Who will think of the elderly?

Bearbloke November 9, 2009 at 6:36 pm

If Joe Ocho knew so much about “AN ASIAN” and “THEIR CULTURE”, he’d know that oldz like him are supposed to know when to go off and die with quiet dignity and stop burdening their families…

MOTHER ******! I guess this guy didn’t want to offend anybody.

Red Zeppelin November 9, 2009 at 6:45 pm

My questions are these: Since when did the Repubs allow mescans in? Is his name a mescan version of “Joe Sixpack”? Shouldn’t it be Jose Ocho?

Texan Bulldoggette November 9, 2009 at 6:45 pm

All Joe left out was the obligatory ‘eat their dogs’ reference…otherwise, he hit all the stereotypes!

Tundra Grifter November 9, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Does Joe Ocho play for the Bengals? [Long Form Def Certicate did beat me to it but I had to say it anyway cause that's the way I roll.]

One Yield Regular November 9, 2009 at 6:57 pm

Well, I can see why all the teabaggers are upset. They’ve been reading “Atlas Shrugged,” and the idea of someone voting according to his or her conscience goes against everything they’re getting out of Ayn Rand.

tootsieroll November 9, 2009 at 6:57 pm

Today we are all old Asians.

Mad Brahms November 9, 2009 at 7:02 pm

“ESPN 8: The Ocho.”

These reads like one of Reggie White’s old speeches.

Mad Brahms November 9, 2009 at 7:07 pm

[re=454508]Mad Brahms[/re]: This. THIS reads. Also, though: have we actually seen any responses from the republican leadership on this? Is Michael “moo” Steele going to make an announcement that it’s all gravy, baby, to vote the way you want to, in the big tent, except that if the way you want to is against everybody else, he’ll hunt you down, using rednecks?

Crow T. Robot November 9, 2009 at 7:08 pm

Since I went in to work this morning wearing my “Dragon of the Black Pool” letter man jacket–I did appreciate the fan tan remark, but this is weak sauce compared to the last one–I’m sorry.

They’re really gonna need to ramp it up to top that one.

the problem child November 9, 2009 at 7:09 pm

Obviously the teabaggers should have been serving tea rather than wearing it. That would have convinced that Asian guy that they understood his values, and he would have gone to their “press conference” and been convinced to sing karaoke for their entertainment, and he would have voted against death panels instead of falling asleep and hitting the wrong button because of lack of caffeine, the end.

Hominidx November 9, 2009 at 7:14 pm

I like reporting people who directly say they want to kill others for real.
“Hang ‘em” – DON’T YOU KNOW ONLY BLACK PEOPLE AND WITCHES GET HANGED?

zhubajie November 9, 2009 at 7:16 pm

Cao should seriously think about quitting the Giant Octopus Party. They clearly don’t want him. Even if he’s an anti-abortion Catholic, so is Kucinich.

If he really can’t stomach the Dems (which I can understand), Cao and other rational people need to found a rational conservative party. The Balanced Budget Party or something. Let the Reptilians go the way of the Whigs and the Know-nothings.

glamourdammerung November 9, 2009 at 7:22 pm

They missed all the really good racist tweets too.

saggyboobedhag November 9, 2009 at 7:24 pm

If you put a “the” in front of an adjective describing a group of people, does that mean the Government needs to take care of them or arrest them?

johnnypantalones November 9, 2009 at 7:27 pm

God dammit people, there aren’t nearly enough people trolling that group. Get to work, morans!

betterDeadThanRed November 9, 2009 at 7:29 pm

Stop the pain.

user-of-owls November 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm

I suppose if “they” bailed him out, he probably doesn’t ever need to hold public office again.

zhubajie November 9, 2009 at 7:32 pm

[re=454474]Bearbloke[/re]: In China, at least, old people continue earning money for the family as long as they can get about. That’s why there are so many elderly fortune-tellers outside the department stores.

Voting ‘Yes’ On Health Reform, GOP Rep. Joseph Cao Gives GOP a ‘Cow’
http://satiricalpolitical.com/2009/11/08/voting-yes-on-health-reform-gop-rep-joseph-cao-gives-gop-a-cow/

the problem child November 9, 2009 at 7:59 pm

You know, that facebook poster got one thing right: Cao,having cast a vote for health care reform, never needs to hold office again. He has done his bit and can retire honorably, in fact, he should, before he really fucks things up by falling for a page.

It isn’t satire if it isn’t funny.

AbstinenceOnly Ed November 9, 2009 at 8:28 pm

I CAN\T BELIEVE he thinks Asians respect old people. Even old Asian people don’t respect old Asian people, as anyone who has ever taken a subway can attest.

JMP November 9, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Yep, Rep. Cao really went against the old people, by voting for a bill that has no effect on them whatsoever.

Voting for health reform may have been an unintentionally genius move on his part, since getting so much venom from the teabaggers can only help a Republican in an liberal district he only won because the incumbent was a crook.

[re=454586]loquaciousmusic[/re]: How has that blogwhore not been banned yet?

doxastic November 9, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Is that a challenge? “How could Cao do something so reasonable and in the interest of both he and his constituency? Aren’t Asians supposed to be inscrutable? Maybe he drank too much sake, played too much mah-jong, ate too much kimchi, did something thai, fulfilled a huge variety of inappropriate stereotypes and then somehow transcended them, or at least did something I disagree with. Fuck that slant-eye.”

[re=454611]Bearbloke[/re]: Exactly. Though it’s from one of the early seasons, and Hank becomes less and less redneck and more intelligent as the show goes on. He even almost didn’t vote for George W. Bush.

Long Form Def Certificate November 9, 2009 at 9:40 pm

From the “I love the 80s” file:

Joe Ocho, c’mon — don’t have a Cao, man.

What Fresh Hell is This? November 9, 2009 at 9:45 pm

The tea in tea bags is from Asia. Cao is from Asia. Pol Pot and Michelle (Maglalang) Malkin are from Asia. According to Wikipedia, as a “super group,” Asia included veterans of Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Uriah Heep, U.K., Roxy Music, Wishbone Ash and The Buggles.

I’m not into conspiracies, Percy, but if I were….

[re=454611]Bearbloke[/re]: That show is an invaluable reference on Mer’kin Culture for us Dirty Furriners of the world… that and Squidbillies…

That’s unfortunate. I’d much rather our image around the world be based on the unrealistic portrayals in “sinful” Hollywood than a bunch of regionally-based hick cartoon shows, and I love both of them.

I, too, wish Cao would quit the GOP and read aloud on the House floor as much hate mail as he can from his own caucus just to drive the point home about how inhospitable and inherently nasty the GOP really is.

Yes, and Yes. If by “take care of them” you mean put them in camps. Just ask Michelle “Manzanar” Malkin.

doxastic November 10, 2009 at 8:42 am

Joe–just a compositional note: limit your use of unspecified pronouns. It’s impossible to tell which “they” is which–do you mean “they” the Asian stereotype, or “they” the old people you fantasize about watching die?
