Didn’t Chuck Grassley Promise America He Would Give Up Twitter For Lent?

Michelle Bachmann has finally come to her census.

[re=523779]Extemporanus[/re]: thread over.

Good one, RedState; by pretending that the arcane Senate rules that allow a single dipshit to hold up a bill for several days don’t exist, you can just lie and claim Bunning’s actions are the Democrats’ fault. Next up, blame Watergate on the Democrats for having locks that were too easy to pick.

The shit recycler seems like a good idea, but really, “peepoo”? C’mon now; there’s no condom brand called “weewees” or hemorrhoid creams called “bumbums”.

I heard that there’s going to be a Grayson – Bachmann throwdown on Larry King.

[re=523779]Extemporanus[/re]: Well I don’t know if she’s come to it, but she’s clearly enjoying it more than she has in the past.

Links I’ll never click on: “An exciting development for people who recycle their poo.”

[re=523788]JMP[/re]: Why not? They’re blaming Barry for Afghanistan and Iraq.

SayItWithWookies March 3, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Iraq is a democracy now? Great — Obama can get all our troops out and then appoint Dubya as our ambassador to Baghdad and he can revel in the Iraqi people’s unceasing gratitude.

Ruhe March 3, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Clever move congresswoman Bachman. Clearly you are only hoping that an accurate census will make the fact that our nation is over-run with brown immigrants glaringly clear and thus your base will be newly energized. Well played, Michelle.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 2:24 pm

[re=523815]freakishlystrong[/re]: And the deficit. It’s the reverse of blaming 9/11 on Clinton.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 3, 2010 at 2:32 pm

Mmm, RedState. So frothy!

Magister March 3, 2010 at 2:35 pm

I’m sure that the threat to the very existence of her district and her own political fortunes really helped Bachmann come around.

thesheriffisnear March 3, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Thinking about miserable old bastards like Grassley trying to utilize “hip” new technologies brings my mind to a decidely unhappy place:

This thread seems to indicate that people still give a fuck about fisking RedState, meaning that they have probably clicked over multiple times as a part of that class project; please rectify.

You might as well just click on the Red State link. Same subject matter.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 2:52 pm

[re=523842]norbizness[/re]: It’s hard to avoid following Riley’s links to see the latest idiocy in detail. Of course, the full craziness comes with the comments – did you know that high unemployment is due to having unemployment insurance and the minimum wage?

snideinplainsight March 3, 2010 at 2:52 pm

I thought you were kidding about the title of that RedState link. What was I thinking -

norbizness March 3, 2010 at 2:54 pm

[re=523850]JMP[/re]: Does this symbol generally mean “yummy, please eat some”?

GOPCrusher March 3, 2010 at 2:54 pm

[re=523816]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Nice. Although the preferred answers would have been Dick “The Penguin” Cheney or Lil Donny Rumsfeld.

Jukesgrrl March 3, 2010 at 2:57 pm

Hopey probably promised to move the entire census operation to Michele Bachmann’s district. That’s how he usually handles these Congressional idiots (“Will you stop running with that fast crowd if Daddy buys you a big, new car?”) If the census starts counting people who eat lutefisk, we’ll know for sure.

Oldskool March 3, 2010 at 2:58 pm

[re=523816]SayItWithWookies[/re]: My proposal during the bad years was to appoint Dubya president of Iraq and let him ruin their county instead of ours.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 3:04 pm

[re=523852]norbizness[/re]: No; it means “this will give you superpowers”, as Stan Lee taught me.

lawrenceofthedesert March 3, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Why did Tim Burton bother to make Alice in Wonderland when we’ve already got Red State?

liquiddaddy March 3, 2010 at 3:21 pm

What about people who want to recycle but can’t stand to part with it?

TGY March 3, 2010 at 3:34 pm

[re=523788]JMP[/re]: “there’s no condom brand called…”

Ever been to Japan? Just askin’.

Riley: You have been reading John Birch Society pamphlets again, haven’t you?

JMP March 3, 2010 at 5:06 pm

[re=523932]TGY[/re]: As a matter of fact, no; nothing sexual from the land of tentacle rape would surprise me, though.

SayItWithWookies March 3, 2010 at 5:09 pm

[re=523788]JMP[/re]: You’ve never heard of Anusol? No, I’m not kidding.

comicbookguy March 3, 2010 at 7:14 pm

Redstate summary: Why does Reid have to hold up every bill the Republicans filibuster?

Darkness March 3, 2010 at 9:27 pm

Bachmann objected to questions about people’s mental health.

Color me surprised.
