NRCC Scared Of Something, Something Terrible

by Jim Newell  1:36 pm February 25, 2010

Here’s what the NRCC expected to happen to Republicans today, at the Health Care Summit: massive death. Blood, everywhere, just like in the 1999 movie American Pie. [Indecision Forever]

Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood. Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood. Passersby were amazed by the unusually…

Hopefully the NRCC will be like Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, i.e. almost completely forgotten except by nerds like me.

Republican-hack media says “BOO!”

If you are going to steal from John Stewart, IMHO, at least you could do it in a way that gives a clever play on words its due. This is just half-assed.

glamourdammerung February 25, 2010 at 1:44 pm

They sure are fixated on stuff being rammed down their throats.

BadKitty February 25, 2010 at 1:44 pm

That certainly would have made the summit a lot more entertaining.

Dean Booth February 25, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Was that a younger, bearded Larry Craig at the end?

George Will' February 25, 2010 at 1:48 pm

That’s what she said! Also.

proudgrampa February 25, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Humor. FAIL.

Jesus Christ.

Also, healthcare reform possesses WMDs and can launch them at the United States within 45 minutes. Tory Blair told me so.

SmutBoffin February 25, 2010 at 1:50 pm

Three- or four-word “scare phrases” taken, no doubt, from Republican quotes/editorials in a few newspapers and the National Review?

This would be embarrassing to the NRCC if (i) they are capable of shame and (ii) anybody actually watches this except, well, us.

[re=519858]Dean Booth[/re]: When you say a younger, bearded Larry Craig at the end, are you referring to Mrs. Craig and Mr. Craig’s penchant for anal? And did you know the former Senator is slated be inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame? Or is it the Idaho Hall of the Infamous? So easy to confuse the two.

memzilla February 25, 2010 at 1:54 pm

Which is scarier, the decade-old cultural reference, or the group-think which approved it?

bluevelvetelvis February 25, 2010 at 1:55 pm

Wow, a non-sensical reference to a 10 year old movie which was buried by bad sequels followed by bearded phone sex about oral penetration?

I assume Andrew Beerfart is the target demographic for this?

Mojopo February 25, 2010 at 1:57 pm

For all the sense Hopey is making, and the good Dem points, the news tonight will be a mash-up of jabs. And they will try to tell us that Repubs didn’t sound like a bunch of cock-gobbling blowhards. But we know better!

HipHopOpotamus February 25, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Couldn’t even take off the sweatshirt to make the amateur swallowing porn at the end, huh?

JMP February 25, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Republicans are very good at showing how with it they are with the pop culture references. Maybe next they can attack health care reform with comparisons to that hip new medical show, St. Elsewhere.

AxmxZ February 25, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Meanwhile, CNN is close-reading the leftovers of Obama’s lunch for omens. The President said he had “chicken.” This means things.

evan7257 February 25, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Ram it down our throats? Are you sure this isn’t the trailer for This Ain’t the Blair Witch XXX?

Sussemilch February 25, 2010 at 2:06 pm

This is a failure, most people who vote never saw Blair Witch. What they should have done is made When Harry Met Salary and had Sen. Reid in a diner getting a huge kickback from Health Care Partners screaming “YES OH GOD YES YES!”

Hooray For Anything February 25, 2010 at 2:06 pm

Meh….needs more Republicans in corners of spooky houses with their backs turned to their camera

HipHopOpotamus February 25, 2010 at 2:07 pm

And now I’m reading the 42 REVIEWS of The Erotic Witch Project, which are about 20x more entertaining than this floppy teaser.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 2:07 pm

Republicans are the tear-filled snot bubbles on the hysterical face of American politics.

ManchuCandidate February 25, 2010 at 2:07 pm

What are these fucks scared of?

Not having an insurance company wanker sticking his hand into your wallet and his dick into various orifices? I don’t need that nor do I suspect that 99% of US Americans don’t want that either/

Considering I live in one of those single payer hellholes (Canada City), I think I’d start a revolt rather than hand over single payer to pay for life like you guys do. I’m going to go under the knife tomorrow to remove a growth and I haven’t had issues with the insurance company on the wide variety of tests I’ve had to deal with. Even if I lived in the US Americas, I know I’d still be on the hook for a lot of shit. So far, total out of pocket cost to me? $300 bucks and I’ve had an Endoscope, MRI, CAT scan, ultra sound, day surgery for biopsy, etc.

If only the Demrats followed Grayson’s lead and kept repeating “The GOP/HC industry wants you to suffer and die” cause that’s pretty much the truth.

Who dares challenge the snark-blog knight?
Unless, of course, Jim Newell is shilling proprietary trade secrets.

[re=519854]glamourdammerung[/re]:
yes, just what I’ve been noticing lately too….

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 2:14 pm

[re=519881]evan7257[/re]: You wouldn’t by any chance mean The Blow Witch Project, would you? [NSFW!]

“In the Summer of 1999, 7 sexy coeds disappeared into the sexual world near Headsville in search of the biggest cocks…

2 months later, their footage was found.”

According to one reviewer, the film — much like the Senate — is notable for its “frightening facials”.

AxmxZ February 25, 2010 at 2:15 pm

[re=519895]ManchuCandidate[/re]: They’re scared of everything. Like juvenile baboons that snap at everyone.

Chernobyl Soup February 25, 2010 at 2:17 pm

[re=519895]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Good luck tomorrow Manchu. But if you don’t make it can I have your citizenship card?

AxmxZ February 25, 2010 at 2:31 pm

[re=519895]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Good luck tomorrow, dude! Lucky you, up there in the frozen Wastes of Canadia. I have great health insurance, and I still dread of getting any sort of procedure.

Long Form Def Certificate February 25, 2010 at 2:33 pm

[re=519881]evan7257[/re]: If they scripted/outlined this “porn” the same way they did the earlier feature, I would be stoked. Otherwise, not really feeling the parody genre.

Sleeves February 25, 2010 at 2:43 pm

[re=519939]Long Form Def Certificate[/re]: Yes, is that why we’re cycling through the disgraceful striking of boys or women…and the savaging of whale trainers?

Keram2 February 25, 2010 at 2:57 pm

I thought republicans liked having things rammed down their throats. I guess that’s only in back alleys and congressional pages’ apartments.

Way Cool Larry February 25, 2010 at 2:59 pm

I thought it was funny until I realized they were serious…

ForTheTurnstiles February 25, 2010 at 3:07 pm

“…down our throats!”

No. We’re gonna ram it up yer butts, Mr Wellington Wide Stances IX! And only cause you asked us to.

MOG February 25, 2010 at 3:30 pm

[re=519878]JMP[/re]: More like Dr. Kildare. heh

forgracie February 25, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Mmmmm pie.

Apocalyptic Supermarket February 25, 2010 at 3:51 pm

[re=519875]HipHopOpotamus[/re]: [Insert reference to "discrete" draining here]

AlphaLiberal February 25, 2010 at 4:07 pm

Watching that has change my complete outlook on life.

Jim89048 February 25, 2010 at 6:31 pm

[re=519895]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Hey, me too! Except I’m already down about $2800. The hospital called me an hour ago and demanded payment up front for the O.R, another $700 I won’t see again. MasterCard, take me away! At least it should be warmer in Vegas tomorrow than pretty much any part of Canada City…

spacecadetjoe February 25, 2010 at 9:03 pm

papyrus? come on…

Norbert February 25, 2010 at 9:21 pm

[re=519895]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Good luck, neighbour. I survived an encounter with Canuckistani surgery myself just a few weeks ago and am in tiptop shape now. All it cost was a TTC token to get there, plus I treated myself to a cab home.
