Not Fast Enough, Politico!

John Ensign is a huge problem for the Democrats, it is true. (They have replaced him with Charlie Rangel, now.)

    They’re trying to out-fox Fox.

  2. Bearbloke says at 2:32 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Looks like ‘Politifaux’ to me…

  3. Hedley Lamar: Can’t wait for the announcement of their new “zero tolerance” policy.

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 2:35 pm, December 11th, 2009

    I can understand why they “mistook” Ensign for a Demrat. Having a normal sex affair with an adult female isn’t the GOPer way.

  5. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:35 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Well, since Ensign did the sexy times with a consenting adult WOMAN, it’s easy to see how Politico got confused.

  6. you cannot be serious says at 2:35 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Crazy like a Fox.

  7. Harvey Birdman says at 2:36 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Why do you hate stale, hacky memes?

  8. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 2:36 pm, December 11th, 2009

    So which one is interested in saddles and probs again?

  9. sigerson says at 2:36 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Come on, people! This is the kind of hard work and excellence that the Pulitzer Committee expects of its members. OBVIOUSLY.

    Yummm…I love Neopolitic ice cream!

  12. proudgrampa says at 2:38 pm, December 11th, 2009

    I didn’t know Redd Foxx was a congressman.

  13. charlesdegoal says at 2:38 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Thanks for not linking. Also, it’s not 2010 yet, as far as I know, so time will tell, who has fell and who’s been left behind.

  14. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:39 pm, December 11th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Yes, I owe you a coke.

  15. chascates says at 2:40 pm, December 11th, 2009

    The real race in 2010 will be between the right-wing GOP and the off-the-charts-rightward Tea Bag party. If they’re already calling out Gingrich & McConnell as moderates we’re in for a wild ride.

  16. gurukalehuru says at 2:42 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Anal probes saddle Republicans in 2010.
    fixed.

  17. magic titty says at 2:42 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Clubber Lang looks like shit.

  18. SayItWithWookies says at 2:44 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Damn — the Democrats still haven’t shaken Nixon’s legacy, and now this.

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:45 pm, December 11th, 2009

    WHEN DID CHARLIE BECOME A REPUBLICAN?

  20. In other news, Mark Sanford (D) receives divorce papers from his wife.

  21. Suds McKenzie says at 2:50 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Richie Havens looks Great!!

  23. Gun-toting Progressive says at 2:50 pm, December 11th, 2009

    I smell PULITZER!!!1!!1!

  24. proudgrampa says at 2:52 pm, December 11th, 2009

    OK. This is kinda off-topic again. But Jim and Ken, I want you to know that I do look at your advertising.

    What is with the guy on the lowermybills.com ad? Is that a younger version of Brian David Mitchell:

    Inquiring minds want to know…

  25. Suds McKenzie says at 2:55 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Mike Allen is no doubt giving away free juice boxes around the office.

  26. shadowMark says at 3:00 pm, December 11th, 2009

    If you’re 33.3% wrong that means you must must be 87.2% right.

  27. finallyhappy says at 3:01 pm, December 11th, 2009

    I read the ads too and I am buying that Ben and Jerry’s this weekend.

  28. Extemporanus:

    Yeah, he is pretty pink looking, isn’t he?

  29. Jim, you could have at least included the catfish ticking time bomb ad-thingie. Fun fun.

  30. rev_matt_y says at 3:13 pm, December 11th, 2009

    chascates: This has been part of the strategy since at least the Nixon era: get a vocal minority of truly extreme right wingers out there in the media to establish that as the right wing, and thus the rest of the party can comfortably scoot a little more right each year and yet still be seen as ‘moderate’ conservatives. And because the left is a bunch of simps and idiots they simply go along with it and temper their rhetoric rightward so as not to appear to extremely left. I blame the left more than the right for the conservative tilt of what is considered ‘middle of the road’.

  31. Come here a minute says at 3:23 pm, December 11th, 2009

    An ethics probe with a Republican target is bad news for Democrats. It’s all bad news for Democrats. It always is.

  32. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:32 pm, December 11th, 2009

    This is good news for John McCain.

  33. rocktonsammy says at 3:41 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Compared to these fuckheads, Palin has integrity.

    However, I can’t vote for $P until I see her tits.

  34. Yeah to the Politico link ban!

  35. edgydrifter says at 4:06 pm, December 11th, 2009

    If you were casting a straight-to-video sequel to “An American President” on a severely limited budget, these would be the faces of Lieberman, Crist and… Emmitt Smith?

  36. Escape Goat Nation says at 4:49 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that words under pictures have to match up.
    It could have said,
    “The new Men’s Health cover featuring Taylor Lautner has some people seeing double.”

    There is nothing illegal about doing this.

  37. Tundra Grifter says at 5:05 pm, December 11th, 2009

    Whatever happend to that GOP’ster who was driving around in a SUV having sex in graveyards with hookers? Was that down in South Carolina?

    Boss BlunderRush forgot to bring him up when he (BB) was talking about Democrats and working girls.

  38. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 5:43 pm, December 11th, 2009

    finallyhappy: I read the ads too, and ordered 3 copies of the probably corny book about Michelle and Barack Obama’s Marriage. Black people are still buying books with the Obamas on the cover. We are so scammable where the Obamas are concerned at this time.

  39. Why is Politico trying to terrify us with these mug-shots? Is this more of our country’s love of zombies rising from the grave again? Bury them and be done with them, poor souls.

  40. NJB:
    There’s a blue one who won’t accept a green one.

    Binky: Still, it’s good to see that Barry Bostwick is in the US Senate, investigation aside.
    It’s a jump to the left, then a step to right.

  41. LowerdPeninsula says at 1:58 am, December 12th, 2009

    Black dude’s maw on looks totally freaky. He has no upperfront teeth. Like a turtle; like a turtle.
