Oh Jesus, she actually was serious about going to the national park wingnut gun rallies! Our own Liz Glover is currently performing some insane journalism at the Washington Monument and, more importantly, some park near Reagan airport, where the guns are allowed. Hordes of wingnuts are shootin’ down all the planes before the Iceland Smoke Dragon gets to ‘em. And Liz is using her legendary Polaroid, too! (“They don’t know how to work iPhones.”) Yikes. We’ll see how this turns out. Liz: be on the lookout for pick-up line traps when they all ask you, “wanna see my gun?”

Hey, Liz, wanna interview my dog? Oh, wait.
Hazardous duty pay needed!
I’m sorry, you’re at the Freedom to Crouch rally. The gun nuts are one rally over.
That’s actually a shot of her last day at the Washington Times.
she looks suspiciously happy there, and what’s the guy in the blue shirt doing, anyway?
Like the pic of Liz bending over. The other four dudes around her, not so much.
That is the closest that bunch will get to a live female in their lifetimes. Soak it up, dipshits.
What is this, the “heads shoulders knees and toes – knees and toes” rally?
Welcome to the Confederate gun-nut mob, Liz; hope you survive the experience!
So, if I understand correctly, the heavily armed gentlemen cannot shoot a pic with an iPhone because they couldn’t aim a small metal object it and push the button. Oh, dear.
NPR just described the crowds as “dozens.” Hee!
Is this a recent photo is it from 1968 when your boyhood friend came back from Viet Nam and the whole crazy gang decided to drive across the country to San Francisco and join the summer love one year too late and all that was left was crystal meth?
Why are we crouching? Is there gunfire? Is Ryan Seacrest taking this picture? That would explain the four to one man/woman ratio.
whose leg do you have to hump to get a decent picture of Liz, anyway?
Crouching to avoid gunfire and smiling about it? Bravo.
Was Barry on hand to take away their guns?
Not pictured: keg stand 15 seconds later.
ooh looks like i might get some action with a str8 guy tonight…
Is Liz really tall? I wondering about the stooping to keep in the same frame as the small-penised gentleman around her.
With these lousy photos of Liz, I’d still swear that was her in the bar pretending to be Pegs O’Noonington. And that collective bend over is a tad, uh, troubling.
OT: I didn’t know there were marshmallow farms in Iceland.

You would think its easy getting dressed in camouflage, but no, you have to make tough decisions like do I go with the light green or the dark green or maybe even the orange? Oh and Liz, put some deer urine on, it will drive this quartet insane.
DO NOT play marry fuck kill with that photo. One little alignment error and things would go horribly, horribly wrong.
[re=559622]An Outhouse[/re]: Those are toilet paper rolls for all the Icelandic “World’s Strongest Man” contestants.
Why are they all stooped over?
Is someone shooting at them?
2 of these guys are looking for a lost golf ball
1 of these guys is on his way to band camp
The other is that Carl Spackler guy from Caddy Shack.
The chick just came from her sister’s Debutant party.
That’s the way I see it.
[re=559597]chascates[/re]: Not Our Liz. She is totes smart. I’m gonna give up a female secret here, ladies don’t shoot me. Notice how Liz is wearing a strapless summer dress in balmy 66-degree weather? Uh-huh. As ah said, Our Liz is totes smart, she knows how to do the journamalism, and will not get shot today.
And no disgusting comments, please, no play on the words “get shot.” This is Our Liz we are talkin’ about!!!
The bendover is so the gun-toting midget running the polaroid machine does not have to shoot upward, uncomfortably revealing everyone’s nose hairs. Uncomfortable in a few minutes, rather than a few seconds, of course, because polaroid was so darn slow to show up on the little paper screen. And gunshots, like i-phones are instantaneous. So best if the boys have a few minutes to forget their picture was taken by a gun-toting midget. Uh, what?
Liz Glover: Our Lovely Version of Nellie Bly, in a Maxi Dress.
Does Liz carry a taser, in case she needs to edit any shocking comments?
Yesterday I met a gun-nut. He was enthusiastically telling me how to open a beer bottle with a gun. Shockingly his answer was not to shoot the lid off.
[re=559612]DP[/re]: I think it’s International Body Language for “buttsecks us, pleez.”
Can I have a go with the guy in the blue/white/striped shirt and ball cap? I don’t mind getting Liz’s sloppy seconds.
I am assuming that Liz gets some sort of bulk discount on restraining orders.
Why were they all stooped over? Was there lead a-flying?
[re=559628]Jumping Jim[/re]: Those guys were golfing at some socialist public course. No self-respecting country club would let anyone golf in cargo pants.
[re=559629]Katydid[/re]: But are we allowed to make puns based on the fact that gun nuts are liable to shoot too soon?
[re=559643]MisterLoki[/re]: Luckily for Liz, most of these people are afraid to cross the river into DC, because they’re not allowed to carry their guns around and there’s a lot of, you know, those people there.
Fart contest?
Ummmmm
Go Liz?
[re=559605]Thatcher[/re]: that’s a good thing!
[re=559639]Madaloon[/re]: shit, i would think that with a gun you could get someone to open the bottle for you.
No one can say “no” to Liz!
[re=559642]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: I would’ve figured you for the camo type (a little rough, but always ready!). Me, the dark-haired, khaki-clad guy behind Liz. FAP FAP FAP.
Are you sure that’s our beloved Liz? I heard the peeny weeny gun nuts just got an inflatable Liz doll so they could pretend that know about girls AND the constatushun.
Aha! Liz is not attempting to show her decolletage (shitty camera!), she’s leading the lads in a round of The Grand Old Duke of York, a cultural allusion to another futile action involving armed men. Clever girl!
Liz looks like a goddam hippie in that shot.
[re=559656]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: The guy in camo is so not ANYONE’S type – he mixed his mossy oak pattern with realtree 3D – even a straight guy knows that is a fashion no-no!
[re=559647]JMP[/re]: Yes, because you’re not taking Our Liz’s name in vain. Or something.
I would think that would be one of the safer public gatherings to attend. 1) There’s only about 30 of them, so you’re unlikely to be crushed in a sudden mob panic. 2) There are no counterprotesters. Everything they’re rallying for, they already have (thus the government-supported armed rally), and the trend in the courts and legislature is in their favor. What are these idiots complaining about again?
None of those tough guys would last a minute in a strenuously heated yoga studio. They’d also be very territorial about their little rubber mats, I’m thinking.
How nice of those people waiting in line for the Port-a-Jane/John to take the time to pose for a photo. They look like they really gotta go!
[re=559665]Lazy Media[/re]: totalitarianism, which is what they would vote for.
isn’t it ironic, doncha think…that under republicans you get fascism, and then under democrats they get the free speech to bitch about fascism.
Liz Glover? I thought it was Janis Joplin and the East Texas Rangers.
so that’s the militia gonna defend us from our tyrannicalistic gummint? we are so fucked.
Neilist has been strangely silent during the recent gun-mania….One would’ve expected major doses about now.
They’re not bending down very much; I think they must be doing the Obama bow, because they respect their Wonkette-reading overlords.
[re=559665]Lazy Media[/re]: Because they just know Obama’s gonna take their guns away; no, he hasn’t said anything at all to imply he will, but he’s a Demrat (along with, you know) so they know he will.
I’m guessing the one on the left is the driver of the Muslim/Sept. 11 pickup truck.
hmmm..sounds like a pretty sweet job. minus having to talk to strange men in camouflage.
Crouching Beauty, Jerking Wingnuts
[re=559660]GoinGreen[/re]: Sorry, I was too taken by the hat to notice the clashing camo patterns. Sorry Roscoe, I’ll do better next time!
[re=559622]An Outhouse[/re]: Those are hay condoms.
Glad to see Liz keeping her own head lower than the 2nd Amendment guys, makes it easier to mow them down without collateral damage.
[re=559675]V572625694[/re]: Indeed. He is definitely AWOL on this one. Or maybe he’s at the rally, checking out the machinery?
Don’t eat the brown acid.
I know I’d have something clever to say on this subject, but my brain was previously wiped by Wonkette’s account of the guy who banged Orly Taitz. I now have no mind. Thank you, Wonkette.
[re=559629]Katydid[/re]: I’m guessing the NuvaRing® necklace is to help ward off Christian Fundamentalists and Catholic Conservatives?
[re=559647]JMP[/re]: A gun nut’s pea shooter going off half-cocked is no laughing matter.
Aww, who am I kidding? Nothing says “hahaha, nice one God!” like a prematurely ejaculating micropenis patriot packing heat.
It looks like the LNS boys got Uncle Sponson to drive his party bus down to the gun show.
[re=559677]JMP[/re]: The wharrgarbl is strong with these three-percenters. They know the “assault weapons ban” just caused a few cosmetic changes to some semi-auto rifles and made it slightly tougher to get high-capacity magazines, yet the specter of the law being reinstated has them ready to fight the gummint with their (legal under the ban) “assault weapons.”
My favorite is the dude with the WWII-era, Soviet-made, bolt-action rifle with iron sights. THAT’s gonna scare the ATF.
[re=559664]Katydid[/re]: In vein, you mean?
[re=559629]Katydid[/re]: Indeed..
dear god no, liz! you brought your hippy camo to the gun rally, you are literally wearing the “shoot on sight” outfit.
[re=559675]V572625694[/re]: Those pictures don’t take themselves.
Liz leading a game of “Simon Says Crouch Like A Gun Monkey”.
The open-carry gun rally is a genius idea. It gives wingnuts something to do other than bomb federal buildings AND the FBI can updated their surveillance videos.
[re=559653]Crank Tango[/re]: A reasonable assumption, to be sure. This guy came to my area by way of Berkeley, so maybe he is a big pro-peace gun nut who now just uses his guns as bottle openers and hammers.
[re=559675]V572625694[/re]: He’s probably masturbated himself into a coma.
[re=559690]Lazy Media[/re]: I just wonder where the specter of reinstatement comes from, since sadly no one has suggested bringing the assault weapons ban back; I guess it’s the same place as the reinstatement of the fairness doctrine that wignuts are similarly so afraid of.
[re=559646]Madaloon[/re]: “No self-respecting country club would let anyone golf in cargo pants.”
Of course. Everyone knows the country clubs require brightly colored poplin with green alligators, coral flamingos, or blue and red sail boats embroidered all over. Unless you own a golden retriever, in which case you are allowed to wear plain pants and a golf shirt with a small picture of your dog embroidered on it. No PRINTED shirts allowed. Too tacky and they might actually be made locally, rather than in China, world’s capital of embroidery.
Fair’s fair, now. Only one of the gentleman looks sufficiently wingnut-camomonster to be scary. Two of them are smiling at the presumbably male photographer, nuff said. And the fellow on the right appears to be gazing, with suitable reverence, at Liz herself. Bipartisanship!
[re=559724]Jukesgrrl[/re]: I’ve never seen that at the country clubs I’ve visited, but the only thing I really prefer to see when I visit country clubs is a martini at the bar.
[re=559728]yellowerdog[/re]: nah … golf shirts and khakis can be quite menacing. Especially when tucked in and you don’t have an excuse, like work.
All these comments, and not ONE SINGLE GUN visible in that photograph.
False priorities, Liz. False priorities. Let’s see some IRON next time, okay?
[re=559754]Neilist[/re]: Yay! you’re back! (yes, we’re all sick puppies)
[re=559754]Neilist[/re]: You mean, they’re UNARMED? Or are you saying that Liz disarmed them?
[re=559779]the problem child[/re]: “Liz disarmed . . . “?
Sir, I refuse to respond to any suggestion that Our Liz may have had carnal knowledge of anyone/anything.
Well, unless it was one of those Hot Lesbo Thingies. And even then, I’d want video.
[re=559760]Words[/re]: No, no, I’M the “sick puppy.”
“Woof!”
:::Quietly but decorously humping Liz’s leg:::
My wife agreed that Liz should become our next wife. Perhaps we’ve been watching too many Big Love episodes.
This is some kind of trick – at least two of those “gun-nuts” are not at all hideous.
Who took that photo – Gary Coleman?
Question, and please take your time answering, but why is it that all the ladies of our Wonkette are such hotties? I mean, not even like blogger-hot, but actually rather cute by normal surface-dweller standards. It’s uncanny.
[re=559888]mumblyjoe[/re]: Tradition. Reference, see Ana Marie Cox…. (You must be a newby?)
[re=559916]Words[/re]: Not really a newbie, though I didn’t really start reading regularly until just before Juli came on. It’s just that Wonkette is like a lonely island of hottness in the ocean that is the blogosphere. I mean, it’s a great service they’re doing the rest of the blogging world, by finding cute ladies and then sending them out to blog elsewhere, I guess. ‘Tis God’s work, verily.
Scorpio: (to Det. Callahan)
“Take it out, real slow.”
“My, my, that’s a big one.”
Liz is SO gonna win a Pulizer Prize!
make that Pulitzer
Looks like a “last seen” photograph soon to be featured on Nancy Grace.
So, when I see someone wearing cargo pants, it’s safe to assume they are a gun nut?
