Ben Nelson Makes Up New Reason To Save Himself From Having To Vote For This Thing

Right? Minus the stacheNebraskan diarrhea puddle Ben Nelson has now issued another aggravating line in the sand for himself on health care reform, because he just really really doesn’t want to vote for it at all: “Sen. Ben Nelson told reporters today he will filibuster the health care bill if it doesn’t contain an abortion amendment similar to Rep. Bart Stupak’s amendment that passed attached to the House health care bill last month.” And why not? He knows he’s got 100% leverage, what with the Founding Fathers’ brilliant political system being broken and all. Next week his litmus test will be “no Negroes spics or Basques can not be aborted on the insurance exchanges” and the Catholic Bishops will love it, because they’re evil.

Watch this poopfuck as he prattles on about his make-believe mixed feelings over semantics:

“I will not vote to take it off the floor,” said Nelson (D-NE).

“Now I don’t know that it’s going to come down to that, because I don’t know that Stupak’s not going to pass, number one,” he said. “Number two I don’t know what kind of alternative legislation may be offered as an alternative bill. I don’t know what the next steps are, but I’ve made it clear that whatever is finally considered has to have that language in it.”

I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know you tell me I don’t know if you don’t know anything then shut up and figure it out you diabolical toadish gooey shitstained afterbirth of Wario. Oh god that felt good.

Hey Tiger Woods’ Swedish wife, if you’re ever in Washington, maybe find and beat the crickets out of Ben Nelson with your golf club. Tiger probably slept with him in Vegas, too.

    Ben Nelson is proof positive we NEED to leave abortions in the health care bill.

  2. The Church of Realism says at 4:15 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    How do you expand on diarrhea puddle? Shit Tsunami?

  3. With Democrats like him, who needs cretinous, pea-brained neanderthals? I don’t know.

  4. SmutBoffin says at 4:17 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    “…shut up and figure it out you diabolical toadish gooey shitstained afterbirth of Wario.”

    This is why Wonkett dominates those blog-awards things every year all the time forever.

  5. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:17 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    I find it racist that Negroes and Basques are both initial caps but SPIC isn’t, sir.

  6. “Nebraskan diarrhea puddle” is the best put-down since “bloated pigsicle” - which happened like 15 minutes ago.

  7. Gorillionaire says at 4:20 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Sure, Nelson, spray that hair helmet of yours into place and get on the floor and filibuster. Do it. Do it do it do it. I double dawg dare ya. Ya pussy! Do it. You can’t do it!

  8. Buzz Feedback says at 4:20 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Ben Nelson makes me feel good about being one of Mad Max’s constituents. Thanks shit-puddle.

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 4:22 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Like he really cares about human suffering. The HC lobbyists spent a lot of money persuading the shitsack that the best health system in the world is the current “If you got the money honey then we cure your disease” system. Almost makes one want to jam a used catheter up his dick and snap it off.

  10. bureaucrap says at 4:22 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Why can’t he just say, “I’m an insurance company WHORE” and leave it at that? It’s much shorter.

  11. Gopherit says at 4:23 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    I betcha erectile dysfunction drugs and penis pumps are covered.

  12. V572625694 says at 4:24 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    NJB: The Church of Realism: Jim brings it, day after day. Many still relish “guano faucet,” although the object of that sobriquet is long forgotten.

  13. V572625694: To be fair, “bloated pigsicle” was Ken’s. They’re tag-teaming today. And yes - “guano faucet” certainly does have a ring about it. Especially around the drain.

  14. grevillea says at 4:30 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    But what was Vitter doing in Nebraska in the first place?

  15. magic titty says at 4:30 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    V572625694: To be fair, Riley wrote the “guano faucet” line. And it was about…uhh..some douche…Grassley, maybe.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 4:31 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Reconciliation is still an option, Harry. No filibusters. Take the wind out of these poopheads’ sails. You know you want to do it, Harry.

  17. Mr Blifil says at 4:33 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Let the fucker filibuster. Let him shut it down. SHUT IT DOWN. I mean, hours upon hours of Ben Nelson/Lieberman midnight ham-slam tag-team filibuster footage=comedy gold.

  18. Mr Blifil says at 4:33 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: Stop being a c-wordy b-word.

  19. Suds McKenzie says at 4:35 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Assuming there’s corn.

  20. Gopherit says at 4:36 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    magic titty: Right. Jim was the bard who once said, “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.”

  21. Extemporanus says at 4:36 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    V572625694: magic titty: ARI FLEISCHER IS A GUANO FAUCET!!

    NEVAR FORGETT!!1

  22. the problem child says at 4:36 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Oh, and now the Planned Parenthood ad has been frightened off, too.

  23. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:38 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    the problem child: If I close my eyes, I can still see in on the backs of my eyelids.

  24. I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO says at 4:38 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: If Harry “Holy shit where’d my spine go and if you find it can you look around for my nuts too,” Reid actually busts out with the reconciliation process I will likely pop the kind of wood you only get with a six pack of redbulls and a bottle of little blue pills.

  25. bitchincamaro says at 4:39 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Fecal corn!

    (Nebraska. Get it?)

  26. Extemporanus says at 4:40 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    NJB: The Wonkette bench may be short, but it’s thick as a motherfucker.

  27. bitchincamaro says at 4:42 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Suds McKenzie: Damn you.

  28. Extemporanus says at 4:43 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    the problem child: Actually, Hayden-Harnett finally got her abortion, so the ads are no longer needed.

    Get well soon, Haydie! We miss you!

  29. gurukalehuru says at 4:43 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    A single payer system with no bullshit, on a single page. Roll it up tight, like a newspaper, and jam it up Ben Nelson’s ass. Metaphorically speaking.

  30. PrairiePossum says at 4:48 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Next time an agricultural bill is up for debate, I hope democratic Senators from northeastern states demand batshit crazy amendments be added to the bill.

  31. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:49 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    This country has been going down hill ever since we let the Basque in.

  32. thefrontpage says at 4:51 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Ben Nelson reads The Truth About American Homosexuality.

  33. The Church of Realism: Planet of Meconium?

  34. Actual diarrhea puddles have more backbone and integrity than Nelson does.

  35. I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO says at 4:58 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    PrairiePossum: Amendment 1: Forced abortions on late term senat…er babies.

  36. PrairiePossum says at 5:02 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO:

    Or requiring all Nebraska males to get vasectomies - to stop Nebraska abortions.

  37. pondscum says at 5:05 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Why do we let anyone with a penis have any say when it comes to abortion? One penis, no vote. That’s my motto. As soon as they can carry an unwanted, unplanned, rape-implanted parasite, they can have a say in the matter. Until then STFU.

  38. magic titty says at 5:05 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Gopherit: Extemporanus: Yes and yes. And it was Juli who wrote, “Ketchup heiress John Kerry…”, which is my favorite thing ever written by anyone ever.

    This is why Wonkett be’s the bestest.

  39. DeLand DeLakes says at 5:16 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Thank God we live in a secular democracy, where people’s access to health care is determined by a bunch of toady bishops who answer to John Paul II’s wormy corpse!

  40. Snarkalicious says at 5:20 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: Oh, sure, be pissed on behalf of capital ess Spics, but leave the unaccented, mixed case heBeS to twist in the wind. You, sir, are a racist! I bet Al Sharpton is lubing himself up to come after you as we speak.

  41. AggieDemocrat says at 5:21 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    I object, in that Wario was always one of my favourite characters to be in Super Mario Kart. (Battle mode only, which is the only mode worth playing. Racing’s for twats.)

  42. Snarkalicious says at 5:23 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    thefrontpage: Not for the articles, tho.

  43. sati demise says at 5:27 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    PrairiePossum: Next bill for King Corn agricultural support should have DOMA tacked onto it, fur sure!

    pondscum:
    word.

  44. Ducksworthy says at 5:31 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Screw this. Medicare for all! Does Medicare cover abortions? It certainly should.

  45. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 5:51 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 needed an amendment to turn them into a giant sinkhole of stupid going down to the very bowels of …

    never mind.

  46. Extemporanus says at 6:03 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    magic titty: Amen.

    And Juli’s “human-wearing t-shirt” deserves a Golden Mobius Writing Award nomination as well.

  47. One Yield Regular says at 6:06 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Every Catholic bishop (+ Ben Nelson) ought to be required to put in three days a week full-time baby-sitting for a family of 12, half of whom must still be in their mewling infantdom.

  48. germansteel says at 6:15 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    Surely there is someone from the State of Nebraska that is really first class, someone we all would be impressed by. I just can’t think of who that would be, right now.

    Oh, maybe Johnny Carson - he was pretty good at what he did, in the day. But, of course, he got the hell out of that flatter-than-catpiss-on-a-plate state, too.

    Nope, nobody.

  49. Mr Blifil: I take it that you’ve snticipated SKS’s return. Pussy.

  50. Next: Your Happy Sock or tampon will be evidence in your murder trial.

    Aquannissiwamissoo: criticize our fuckwit Senator who is looking for any reason to condemn this bill all you want; leave the land I love and the simple majority who voted for him alone.

    we did right by America, given the options available…you could have been stuck with 59 votes and this asshole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Ricketts

    Ben Nelson will fold eventually, likely after getting Nebraska another museum over an Interstate that no one will visit or pedestrian bridge to Iowa.

  54. NebraskashireGentry says at 11:09 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    germansteel: hello? I’m standing right here…actually, though once named Commenter of the Day, I’ve got nothing.

  55. RobPetrified says at 11:15 pm, December 3rd, 2009

    BEN Nelson, diarrhea puddle, not to be confused with almost semi republican Bill Nelson of Flori-duh.

    Are men with BALLS illegal in DC?
    I mean politically, not recreationally or tea baggily.

  56. rottenart says at 4:59 am, December 4th, 2009

    NebraskashireGentry: Bravo!

    Don’t you have some of those “bands” that the “kids” “like” too?

  57. LowerdPeninsula says at 5:20 am, December 4th, 2009

    “Next week his litmus test will be “no Negroes spics or Basques can not be aborted on the insurance exchanges” and the Catholic Bishops will love it, because they’re evil.

    When you say “no Negroes spics or Basques”, Jim, do you mean “no Negroes, spics or Basques” or are we talking about “Negro spics” as in Blaxicans?

    “if you don’t know anything then shut up and figure it out you diabolical toadish gooey shitstained afterbirth of Wario.”

    I can die, now. To see Wario used in a sentence anywhere outside the confines of hard/deep Nerd-dom is not something I ever expected to see. Viva! you princes and princess of the Mid-Atlantic. Viva! you kings and queens of DC.

    BTW, just so I get this straight, Ben Nelson is Senator Eddie Munster, correct?

  58. NebraskashireGentry says at 9:45 am, December 4th, 2009

    rottenart: had a good run for a while; but all the good ones went solo and moved away…still, this does mean my mom is frenemies with the mom of a solo artist rather than some guitarist in a band. (never forget.)

    but, as any “real Neb’raskun” will tell you: Omaha, with its money, access to casinos and sizable minority populations, is a godless cesspool even Hell/Iowa doesn’t want. (fortunately for you, Republican Congressman Lee Terry will never enter the national stage as a senator from Nebraska because, having represented Omaha, etc. for 10 interminable years, he could never persuade out-state voters he’s not secretly Barney Frank, known liberal).
