Liveblogging the Season Finale of the 2010 Primary and/or ‘Lost’

by Ken Layne  8:03 pm May 18, 2010

Is this how it ends, for the hit show 'Lost'?Can you believe after all these years/months, the career of Arlen Specter and/or the hit teevee show I’m Lost finally ends, right now? Let’s liveblog the greatest election ever in mid-May 2010. Rand Paul is already the absolute King of Kentucky, and all new hillbilly children will be named “Ayn,” but what about the 80-year-old Vietnam vet Arlen Specter?

8:00 PM — Oh sad Chris Matthews, thank you for your service to Vietnam, the way you just bitched about what’s his name, Blumenthal, for the way he lied about the ending to Lost.
8:01 PM — Conway will beat Mongiardo! Who even knows what this race is, this one Wolf Blitzer is discussing. We have changed to CNN, obviously.
8:03 PM — Newell is trying to convince your editor that it is not truly the final episode of the hit singing show Land of the Lost, but we know the truth. The radio tower is a metaphor for Aliens/Jesus! The girls are boys! It was all a Dream!
8:04 PM — Can you believe it’s really over for energetic youngster Arlen Specter? Did you know Campbell Brown still had a show at 8 p.m.? (We sort of forgot about this show the second her advertising budget ran out, two years ago.)
8:05 PM — Drudge has a sad, sad picture of Arlen Specter, plus a joke?
It's curtains, I tell ya, curtains.
8:08 PM — Newell is ordering pizza. We are going to have a Pizza Party, for the last episode of Arlen Specter Is LOST.
8:10 PM — Oh jesus god help us all, Lucinda Williams’ grandpa and Laura Bush’s grandma had a “grandma baby” and it is on CNN and its name is called Mary Matalin.
8:11 PM — Ha ha we really have not seen this Campbell Brown show in two years. It still sucks! The same horrible people are on it, too, but now they’re much older, just like the characters on the season finale of tonight’s must-see-teevee, Land of the Lost.
8:12 PM — Let’s try Olbermann. Looks like nobody’s just going to have fucking NEWS COVERAGE, of a four-state BELLWETHER PRIMARY.
8:13 PM — It’s always “funny” when Keith Olbermann has to act like a teevee news anchor instead of a talking version of the DailyKos.com … oh wait he is not even trying tonight, just being Keith Olbermann. But he’s aging better than Mary Matalin!
8:18 PM — Uhhh, what is going on in Pennsylvania? Does it have “alternate time lines” just like LOST and/or “Kentucky”?
8:18 PM — Suspiciously, the one news website in Pennsylvania (“Philly.com”) also has no real idea what’s happening in this important election, “An 80-Year-Old Man vs. The Sleestak.”

POLLS CLOSE
The polls snapped shut at 8 p.m. Tuesday — or at least they were supposed to — ending the voting portion of a Pennsylvania primary election day that had low turnout.

8:19 PM — What do they mean, “at least they were supposed to”? Is the radio tower on top of the mysterious mountain a hologram from an alternate dimension, perhaps some type of Vast Active Living Intelligence System”?
8:22 PM — Let’s check in with The Politico and find out how many dumb quotes can be stuffed into a few headlines on the front page of the website:
America thinks Politico is 'full of shit.'

8:29 PM — Did we honestly skip the evening walk with the dog for this liveblog? We regret that decision. Okay, here’s what’s his name, Pizza Boy, with the next liveblog nobody will fucking read, you fucks.
8:33 PM — Oh look Jim Newell is posting now, hooray! HERE IS HIS LIVEBLOG WHERE ALL SECRETS OF THE HIT VIDEO SHOW LOST HIGHWAY WILL BE REVEALED. (ARLEN SPECTER IS “MYSTERY MAN.”)

Eugene Robinson keeps mocking “Dutch Cleanser” reference…Arlen will never live that one down. He might as well get in his horse & buggy & get out of town.

Wow. Rand Paul AND the Lizard People in the same day.

Land of the Lost indeed.

Blender May 18, 2010 at 8:10 pm

I’m gonna get nekkid for this.

Katydid May 18, 2010 at 8:10 pm

I liked when Matthews used to talk wistfully about how he wanted to run for Senate in Pennsylvania. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Texan Bulldoggette May 18, 2010 at 8:16 pm

FYI: Campbell Brown is losing her show because the only person in the world who watched it was her douche bag husband Dan Senor. Oh, and maybe her parents.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK, KATE! WE HAVE TO GO BAAAACK

(to the gold standard)

[re=580185]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Oh, but she says, “Waaaah. 8 o’clock was toooo hard. I wanna quit!”

It’s not fair to bag on Arlen Specter’s appearance, because, Jesus Christ, it’s like beating up on a retarded kid. He has to look at that face every day, for God’s sake.

I have decided forgo the teevee coverage and listen to my old cast recording of “La Cage Aux Folles”, mostly because I am a middle-aged queen and that is just what we do sometimes. I will join you all in drunkenness, however, and pizza is sounding pretty good, actually.

Let me know how it comes out.

Katydid May 18, 2010 at 8:35 pm

Anthony Weiner is about to be on Olbermann. Beck is calling Weiner a modern-day McCarthy.

bakeneko May 18, 2010 at 8:54 pm

Are they bringing back Chet Baker for the finale?

SwanSwanH May 18, 2010 at 9:03 pm

“I’m Lost”? X? Nice.

Rand Wins! Declares, “Me Pharaoh! Walk Like.” Meanwhile, pale, pearled consort not exactly skipping onto the Luv Boat. Has vision. Sees Bunning.

PA Specter loses Dem Senate primary to wildman Sestak.
At least the Dems in PA have now got someone obnoxious enough to go sphincter -a-sphincter with Repug neocon Toomey in the 2010 US Senate race. Bright spot for the Dems, in a manner of speaking.

Ken, I’m sorry, but your average-type hillbilly don’t know who “Ayn Rand” is, unless they’ve seen “FountainHead,” which is doubtful, since it ain’t a recent release–even on Netflix; I don’t think they show it w/subtitles for the literacy-impaired—oh wait!! If they saw “Dirty Dancing,” they might be acquainted w/the name. (Also, screw Ayn Rand. I was so over her even in college…. what a selfish bitch!)

I hate to put down my local homies like this, but, facts is facts.

Also, Thank You Jesus!! that “Lost” is out of its Stupid Misery!!!! What on Earth did people see in that stupid soap opera???? They could look out a window in this village and see ten times the excitement (gunfire!!!), dead people, etc. Vast WasteLand indeed.

Meg Whitman still in tight race with mechanical robot.

Jim Gibbons declared gubernatorial primary winner among Carson City’s wino transients.
Fellowship a factor.
