OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG: It’s that once-in-a-decade reason to visit Arkansas! “Tomorrow night, [Harold Ford Jr.]’s due to square off against Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock – a political death match entitled, ‘Left, Right, and Forward: On the Future of America.’” YouTube: you’ve got a lot of pressure for this one. Also, each of them is being paid tens of thousands of dollars to appear. [NYDN]
IT'S THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WILL WIN 5:20 pm February 3, 2010

So Harold is representing the left? What was Hannity unavailable.
It’s Tom and Tom! The Brothers brothers!
C-SPAN, pleeeeze! Our freedumb depends on this.
If they did a nightclub act together where they sawed people in half and made stuff disappear it could be a reality TV show called “Here Come the Magic Negroes”. NBC would give them a 13 show deal.
Who will represent the “Forward” in this disgusting display?
Let’s forget about the fact that they’re both black “republicans” for a moment. It’s still not a “political death match” when you agree on everything.
So who are they getting to speak for “left” and “forward”?
“As prominent leaders representing both sides of the political spectrum, Harold Ford Jr. and Michael Steele will engage the audience in the most hot-button issues that will shape our nation’s future,” Dr. Jan Austin, director of UALR’s Office of Campus Life, said in a statement.
Right — representing the red end of the spectrum, Red. And representing the violet end of the spectrum, Orange.
Why does this remind me of Spike Lee’s “Bamboozled”?
No no no Harold is going to be standing to Steeles left and both are going to be facing coward.
Did Harold Ford win American Idol or something? Jesus, suddenly he’s everywhere.
A little more than half of Arkansas, by the way, is quite beautiful, very scenic. On the other hand, it’s also the state where I saw a business named — and I’m not making this up — Pud’s Beauty Salon.
[re=507132]Tommmcatt[/re]: Alan Keyes.
[re=507141]BeWoot[/re]: Good one, but Arkansas doesn’t have a monopoly on hick business names. In Minnesota I once saw a gas station called ‘Pump ‘N Munch’.
[re=507142]Snarkalicious[/re]: Clarence Thomas will be moderating, I believe.
Will Ford take Steele’s bait and slip into a “black dialect”? Be there!
Thank god Ford will be able to make a little cash at least.
That’s less than two miles from my house…but still farther than I’d care to go to see that train wreck.
[re=507148]avatard[/re]: That is awesome on many levels.
Left will be represented by the audience, as in it will be interesting to see if anyone is left by the end of this program.
Forward will be represented by the audience, who will head in that direction for the exits once they realize just how boring this gathering will be.
[re=507163]Crank Tango[/re]: Yeah, hopefully he’ll be able to get a few loaves of bread, some clean water.
“Tard, meet Retard. Retard, this is Tard.
Now, let’s review the rules, er, rule: Whichever one of you finishes your paste first will be declared the winner of this stupid fucking debate. Simple as that, okay?
Any questions? Retard? How ’bout you, Tard? No? Alright then, let’s do this!
On your mark…get set…annnd we appear to have ourselves a tie!”
“Right, Right, and Right: Why We Are So Fucked”
[re=507142]Snarkalicious[/re]: [re=507132]Tommmcatt[/re]: Actually, Alan Keyes will be speaking for “left” and “behind”.
[re=507142]Snarkalicious[/re]:
For the win.
Alan Keyes is automatically hilarious, though, so it may not have been a fair competition.
1. UA at Little Rock focuses on eductating foreigners and women. http://ualr.edu/www/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/nw_campuslife.jpg
And fatties: http://www.bettybowers.com/graphics/huckabeefamily.jpg
2. Its colors are Maroon and Black. Palin has filed a protest.
And Pimpy O’Keefe, also.
Let’s hope for Dick Swett.
It’s going to get awkward when Julia Allison shows up with her new boyfriend, Bears QB Jay Cutler.
(Would love this to happen. A third evidence of the falsity of the “once thou goest black, thou does not goeth back”. Barack’s mom (Indonesian AFTER black), Katy Perry (Russell Brand AFTER the mulatto singer from Gym Class Heroes),… Julia Allison? Yes, please.)
“Left, Right, and Forward” sounds like an ROTC drill team. Might be worth catching.
The Spittle Hock in Little Rock!
Michael “Da Loogie” Steele vs. Harold “Mucusboy” Ford!
Expect congestion in the area.
Yeah, but which one will be most offended when the first Arkie calls him ‘boy’ & asks him to shine his shoes?
[re=507227]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: And Texas is the capital of the progressive union, huh?
[re=507235]guey de gueyes[/re]: Ever been to Austin? I think not.
Uncle Tom vs Aunt Tom
Which one is Amos , and which one is Andy ? And when does the minstrel show start?
[re=507235]guey de gueyes[/re]: In the 2008 presidential election, Obama had a bigger win percentage-wise in Austin than he did in New Jersey; and Dallas and Houston went for Obama.
Oh, awesome, they brought the Gumbles back!
[re=507197]Accordion-o-rama[/re]: Here here!
How much will they pay me to stay away?
So how much would they pay for me to stay away?
[re=507142]Snarkalicious[/re]: I heard that Alan Keyes will file a formal protest with the RNC and get in there somehow.
Mothers, lock up your daughters!!
[re=507148]avatard[/re]: YAY! I have been to the Pump N Munch!
Every points for the first one to shine about loving shortening bread.
Keeping with a Black History Month theme: Its like WEB DuBois and Booker T. Washington all over again. Of course Steele makes Booker T. look like Nat Turner*. Oh Yeah, I know Ford is not nearly as distinguished as Dubois but, like Dubois, he is very light skinned-ed.

Two Negro opportunists square off! Uncle tom would be proud!
“Pud’s Beauty Salon” and “Pump N’ Munch” are good, but meh fav malaprop is in Washington D.C. – it’s called “The House of Representives” – I hear it’s actually a front for a bunch of corrupt banks, insurance scams and multinationals..if I remember right Mr. Ford worked there a while back.
What, a Smothers Brothers reunion? Now which one has the mustache?
Is this some kind of really lame rap battle?
It will be just like the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Except not insightful, interesting or informed.
This so isn’t gonna be a reunion of Richard Roundtree and Moses Gunn is it?
I knew Steele was a minstral.
[re=507141]BeWoot[/re]: My favorite is Louisiana bait stand called “Minnow Pause”.
