Because they were so desperate for a Hero, America’s lonely old teabaggers put all their hopes and dreams on a handsome, naked, liberal man in the Socialist Republic of Massachusetts. At least he was white! But after sending him all of their Social Security checks and Green Stamps and whatever, Scott Brown proudly took Ted Kennedy’s seat cushion in the U.S. Senate and started voting for every liberal sell-out chunk of communist legislation, starting with some far-left welfare law that would help people who lost their jobs, and give, uh, big tax breaks to employers who added workers. And now Scott Brown won’t come to Sarah Palin’s Boston Tea Party on Wednesday. [Boston Herald]- Senate Republicans are kind of “meh” on whether they’ll try to filibuster whatever boring person Obama nominates for the Supreme Court vacancy left by John Paul Stevens. [Los Angeles Times]
- But the Republicans *are* very excited about repeating their 1994 House upset, but they probably won’t, because it’s now 2010 instead of 1994, and Times Are Different. [New York Times]
- A plane crash killed Lech Kaczynski, the president of Poland, along with 95 other passengers and crew including most of the country’s political and military leadership. Horrible. Also, the president’s identical twin brother — who leads the opposition party — visited the site of the disaster in Russia. [BBC News/ABC News]
IT'S MORNING IN AMERICA

I always thought that John Paul Stevens was the backbone of Led Zeppelin. I mean, everyone always ignores the bass player, but his chords really drove the songs. I didn’t know he had moved on to the Supreme Court after Zep; unfortunately I can’t seem to find the Supreme Court tracks on iTunes.
I guess the Senate Republitards are more “Delilah” listeners, hence the fillibuster on his replacement.
Awwww, Simple Sarah’s so mad. In Sarah’s mind the only group of people who should get anything for nothing is her and her family (no baby daddy’s, sorry Levi.)
Plus the possibility of a repeat of 1994 is partially mitigated by the events of 1994 and the wingnutty idiots they brought in, Newty Grinch et al and the fail they brought to US Americuh. Seriously, this is pathetic.
I knew a guy was a fat speaker of the house
Back in 94
He made a contract with ‘merica
Make voters look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this bondage bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Chorus:
Glory days well they’ll disappear
Glory days like so many a Reese’s peanut buttercup
Glory days, glory days
Identical twin brother? That’s just weird. Plus he looks like Captain Kirk, weirder and weirder.
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRE…oh.
This is where the Polish Predident’s “twin brother” steps up and announces that he is REALLY the President, and that the actual non-important twin brother was on the plane because, you know, who wants to go to Russia? Wacky hijinks ensue with the President’s advisors and wife and mistress, etc. as all try to find out who is whom.
And showing up at a Sarah Palin, Tea Party event is not the way to the middle.
To be fair, it is the road to the middle of an insane pile of dog poo in Crazytown, yes.
I’m disliking naked Scott Brown a little less, every day. Is that wrong?
Of course they will filibuster. That’s just what they do.
The not-so-evil twin is actually the head of the late president’s party, which is not the opposition party but rather the party in power. Assuming Lech is the one who was on that plane.
[re=553504]hockeymom[/re]: No, it’s not wrong. Pubes or gtfo!
[re=553501]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: +1 too soon
The Party of No becomes the Party of Meh. Who says republicans can’t change?
[re=553504]hockeymom[/re]: you’d think the teatards would have vetted brown’s voting record before they got him elected. how conservative did they really expect him to be?
Jaroslaw was prime minister for a year or so at the same time as Lech was president. Imagine the “Parent Trap”-esque fun they could’ve had with the civil servants.
Ken, you’re confusing me with the MOAR>> in the Merican’ Mornin’ posts. WHy the clicky-through? They look like normal posts from the front page, and I am too stoopid to click through to the unrelated finger-points. You know who didn’t used to do that kinder thing? Um, Ronald Reagan. WHo do you think you are, ken. WHO!
Everything is the same as it ever was, only now it is different.
Brown is possibly the only male republican NOT eager to fawn over that Tarty Excerebrose Asshole (TEA) bagger. Good on him.
Where’s Al Haig when you need him?
[re=553498]Sparky McGruff[/re]:
Hey, I saw John Paul Steven’s group open for King Crimson not that long ago. They rocked. Fripp and Adrian Belew!
Isn’t a presidential twin brother the surprise plot twist in the 1960′s thriller “The President’s Plane is Missing?”
Is the ad for Wagner’s Ring next to LAT’s bit on Repubtard judicial meh coincidence?
Nah.
Reagan, Reagan above all,
Above all in the world,
When, for protection and defense, it always
takes a brotherly stand together.
Okay, that last bit is Haydn, but mit schlag, who cares, meh.
Ok- so my money is on the Democrats strategy to be playing Romney and his team against Palin and the Teabaggers. Scott Brown is with Romney, despite the Teabaggers taking credit for his win.
Fun times in splitting the Republicans ahead!
[re=553511]obfuscator[/re]: It was Mittens’ brain trust behind the Scott Brown campaign. They fooled the tea partiers once, but they won’t be able to sell Mittens himself to that crowd.
The Tea Bag Express is rolling into upstate New York today. Monday Buffalo & Syracuse; Tuesday, Albany. Featured attractions? Victoria Jackson and some dude who was on 16 episodes (thanks IMDB) of Home Improvement. Who says upstate New Yorkers get bypassed by the headliners? . . . Oh, wait.
So teabaggers, how’s that Scotty-Browny thing working out for ‘ya? *wink wink*
[re=553498]Sparky McGruff[/re]: Johh Paul Stevens wrote and sang Guitarzan and his Jungle Band. After that, they wouldn’t let him near the microphone. He said he doesn’t drink tea.
Hey, NY Times, when you’re doing a lazy, “on the one hand, on the other hand” Monday thumbsucker, how about checking some, I dunno, demographics? There was a much higher percentage of whitey in ‘Murica in ’94, too. Nobody but whitey votes Republican.
It’ll be just like 1994, if most of the Democratic leadership gets caught in corruption scandals (that’s been happening more to the Republicans still, oh well), the Dems have a narrow majority that will be easy to lose (oh, wait, no), and the race starts with the Reps boosted by having defeated the President’s signature attempt to reform the health care system (already failed on that one, too).
They do have the crazed terrorist nutbags being egged on by asshole talk radio blowhards, I’ll give them that.
tea baggers are showing themselves for the porn-loving NASCAR fans they are at heart.
by electing bachman, palin, and brown, it’s obvious that they’re hoping for a world that’s more like this. it doesn’t even matter if their fantasy fuck dolls/politicians can repeat reagan’s trickle-down bullshit. they just have to look better than those commie bastards in holly-jew-wood as proof that god loves conservatives more gooder.
until sunday, of course, when they sober up, go to church to absolve their douchebaggery for the week, and stop beating the little woman across the back of her thighs with a belt while she fries chicken.
Poland elected the Unabomber president?
I guess he had a birth certificate.
This Gaylord individual is advising Mr. Ginrich on a Presidential Campaign. So he is not a delusional lunatic and the NYTn should definitely take his opinion seriously. He can run with Sarah and “She turned me into a Gnewt” would make a great campaign slogan, also.
Newt Gingrich is trying to pull a Juan Peron and relive his past glory after his ignominious exile. Of course, that didn’t work out so well for Juan. Let’s hope the American people know better than to elect some jackass has-been who’s intent on fighting the last war. Oh, shit.
Yeah, when I’m boning someone I’m not supposed to be boning, I’m loathe to be seen with that person in public too, unless it’s absolutely unavoidable, like when we’re having sex in public.
[re=553506]charlesdegoal[/re]: No, that is incorrect.
The party was voted out of power two years ago. The president has no real power in Poland, as in many parliamentary democracies where the Prime Minister holds the power. (Twin brother had been PM before the party lost the last election.)
I should’ve mentioned that it’s a far-right wingnut anti-gay party, and that Jaroslaw is a closet gay always yelling about how the gays can’t get married or even be mentioned in the schools, but that seemed rude considering the circumstances, but on second thought it’s not rude at all — it’s true, and the “Law and Justice” party is shit.
(Sorry, everybody. I used to live in Central Europe and still follow the politics, for whatever reason.)
[re=553528]WIDTAP[/re]: “the Democrats strategy”
That’s where you’re wrong.
NYT: “While there are intriguing parallels, there are some important differences as well.”
That’s like B- work in a high school English composition.
Well, with daughters like that, who needs $arah?
[re=553612]Ken Layne[/re]: Which reminds me Ken, I really miss that little feature (Josh?) used to do, called “The Foreigns.”
One of you guys ought to take that up again. Maybe the new gal, Lauri?
[re=553612]Ken Layne[/re]: Is it true that their navy actually outfit their submarines with screen doors?
[re=553498]Sparky McGruff[/re]: I thought that he was that hunkie pope.
[re=553538]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: The baggers of the bitter brew known as oolong now call Scott, “Benedict Brown”. Seems they just do not kmow how to take a joke.
[re=553528]WIDTAP[/re]: We have that going on here in Iowa for the Governor job. The moderate Republicans and the Teabaggers are resembling two packs of hyenas fighting over the rotten carcass of a wildebeest.
The rest of us are cheering them on to certain destruction.
