It’s a great day and here’s why: we finally have a Mickey Kaus for Senate campaign website, so it will be much easier for everyone to donate all of their money to Mickey Kaus, the Slateblogger who doesn’t really blog much but needs a page-view bump anyway to justify his pay. Anyway, if you want a creepy pro-management blogger whose life purpose has been to type angrily about the Wagner Act as your next Democratic Senator… then you would have to be, by default, Mickey Kaus.

Why would Kaliphonya want to elect a goat blower?
‘Common Sense Democrat’ is not much of a barnburning endorsement.
On a related note, it’s not too late to donate to Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign: http://www.joinrudy2008.com
“Mickey Kaus–he used to put his penis inside Ann Coulter!”
No, it’s not taking “our” party back, Mickey; there’s already a party that supports your agenda, and it’s over there, with the little (R) next to it.
[re=549827]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Besides the goats, I don’t believe he’s ever denied the rumor that he blows demon sheep with glowing red eyes.
Whenever I hear a politician utter the words “common sense” I know I’m in the presence of a know-nothing demagogue.
Well, I’d vote for the left eyebrow. What are it’s thoughts on labor and women’s rights?
Also, this. Who is going to give money to a floral-scented Gene Siskel clone who says “I do not expect to win, and that is the difference between Franken and me. This is an issue-raising candidacy.” Also.
Release the demon sheep.
No thanks, I’m voting for Donald Buc.
[re=549837]Serolf Divad[/re]: True dat. Also, any politician in a cowboy hat that isn’t LBJ is assuredly full shit.
Who’s the leader of the club…
BTW, who is the goat blower trying to take the party back from? Progressives? Haha. Like the progressives have any power as if they did it would be Single Payer all the way and evacuations from Iraqinam and ‘Stan.
Who? Barry? Barry’s a centrist, but not loserish enough for Mickey’s taste. Barry sometimes fights back and wins things. All things Mickey’s retarded branch of the Demoncraps don’t do.
So what is Mickey’s branch? It seems it’s the shittiest rump of the DLC, you know, the guys who think it’s so great to write off half the country and not even try, it’s rude to actually fight once in a while, it’s fine to be a loser as in their minds loser = winner, excuse makers and GOPer enablers.
[re=549827]ManchuCandidate[/re]: To complete the set.
[re=549834]Dave J.[/re]: Or vice versa as the case may be.
[re=549834]Dave J.[/re]: Why Coulter would need two?
[Barbara Boxer] “supports a “card check” bill that would effectively take away the secret ballot from workers in order to give more power to the big unions– including public employee unions–whose influence over our great industries and our government has led to disaster.”
Oh, awesome — there’s nothing like running for office on a piece of ideological propaganda that your opponents used against you and that’s been discredited for years. Kaus is also in favor of outlawing education for women, as it leads to insanity.
Yeah… no.
[re=549834]Dave J.[/re]: Are you sure about that, or was it the other way around?
Who’s the guy who’s right wing as a Democrat can be?
M-I-C, K-E-Y, K-A-U-S, see?
I never noticed it before, but Mickey Kauss has Leonid Brezhnev brows.
As a Californian I actually agree with his position on the teachers’ union…getting rid of a bad teacher in the LAUSD, for example, is by all accounts an absolute nightmare.
That being said, I still think Mickey Kaus is an enormous dick. I haven’t read his blog in years because every time I looked at it I wanted to punch him in the head. Repeatedly.
Yes, because J.P. Morgan needs protection from the SEIU. I have to give Mickey credit for believing in the power of unions even more than I do, and I’m an actual Marxist union thug.
Oh, YEAH! As if the DLC needs an even louder voice. Is Rahm behind this?
This is a Robert Lipsyte character, right?
I can understand its allure. All the workload one associates with being a blogger, at $165,200 a year with normal federal employee benefits, plus the ability to bring the country to a grinding halt because the world has not sufficiently kissed your ass that week.
He wants to run in a Democratic primary on an anti-union platform? Good luck with that.
Someone certainly got dipped into the ugly pond.
Maybe ol’ Baba Boxer will have to do a Demon Sheep video now.
“Meatwad: It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, whether you’re white, black, or Sasquatch, even. As long as you follow your dream, no matter how crazy or against the law it is… except for Sasquatch. If you’re Sasquatch, the rules are different.”
[re=549890]imissopus[/re]: Let’s not disparage enormous dicks like that. I for one am quite fond of enormous dicks.
Weird, on the iPad Mickey Kaus’ face is replaced with that of the Salt Vampire from the original Trek series.
I clicked on his webpage and got a 404 error … no wait .. that’s actually his website. It just needs some animated gifs.
Did the party go some where? because I think I found it – its in my fridge – and my bong. Woo hoo! Don’t tell Mr. NeverShavedMyEyeBrows or his goat friends.
Kaus 2010: for everybody disappointed when Harold Ford threw in the towel.

Mickey Dolenz was the only “Mickey” I had ever heard of until now.
Mickie Mouse doesn’t count.
Kaus will have the distinction of being the only candidate who can hold a debate with his imaginary editor. [He only does that when he blogs. -Ed] No, he doesn’t. [Yes, he does -Ed] DOES!!1! [DOESN’T -Ed}
mickey maus for senate? OTAY!
I, for one, hope that Kaus’ campaign is as good as his political analysis.
With Democrats like this who needs Republicans? No one? Ok then.
I’m a knee-jerk voter for Boxer. Kaus is not relevant to my interests.
Huh. And here I thought he was Slate’s token Republican. Democratic senator, you say?
I’m so happy that Mickey is willing to share his god like intellect for the benefit of us mere mortals by running for public office. How, may I ask, can we all be so fortunate?
Just realized I have no effing clue who Mickey Kaus is except some random guy on the internet.
Call make-up!!!! Emergency!!! Glare off semi-bald head alert!!!!
Mickey is my neighbor. And offline, he is pretty much as much of a douche as he is online.
“Are you married?
No. There must be something wrong with me.”
“Something wrong” is sort of an understatement.
At least Mickey knows how to attract supporters – especially when he talks about how he isn’t going to win and all – “It’s an issue raising candidacy”. I can imagine all the big donors getting out their checkbooks and saying “Now here’s an underachieving loser I can get behind!” Personally, I love a candidate that exudes that much confidence.
Oh – and he thinks Ezra Klein is gullible, and Klein “gets under his skin”. He has teh funny!
I never have gone out of my way to read anything Kaus has ever written (followed some links here and there – and, to be honest, I thought he was a Republican. I’ve always had the vague impression he was a putz – but I had no idea he was a plain, garden variety imbecile.
So – voters of California – here’s your chance to throw out an 18 year veteran of the Senate (with the accompanying seniority and committee clout) for a DINO stooge who hates labor unions and will have no influence whatsoever if elected. What a deal!
I am shallow. I prefer my democrats to come strikingly handsome, and I want to find their websites equally handsome. MK is not nor is his site. Please go back to whatever you were doing before you appeared on the Wonkette.
Short story: Tits or GTFO.
On the misguided occasions that I have attempted to read the incomprehensible bullshit that he produces on his blog, I was simply amazed that this person could make a living spouting incomprehensible bullshit.
On the other hand, if McCain loses and he wins, he will fill an important incomprehensible bullshit void that will be missing in the Senate.
Robert Klein for Senate? Awesome!
O Mickey you’re so fine, you blow my goats and then my mind, O Mickey !!!
“If you have a group in California and want me to come …”
He kind of looks like Jeffrey Jones in Howard the Duck, sans mustache.
As a professional contrarian, shouldn’t Kaus be opposed to his own candidacy?
Shouldn’t he be telling us how he’s never liked the guy? And predicting that damaging personal secrets will be coming out?
