Arizona’s favorite toxic whitening agent Steve Blair has finally emerged from his Clorox-scented lair to make his first public appearance since becoming Internet Famous. So what did the Prescott city councilman, leader of the tragically successful “Scream Racist Things at Children” campaign and freshly fired radio guy, have to say? And did it involve calling any toddlers the N-word?
It did not! Or at least we haven’t seen any reports to that effect, though the pics taken at Blair’s “right for Steve Blair to keep a job” rally reveal that there weren’t (m)any browns to shout slurs at. Donning a cowboy hat and the same shirt our grandpa wears to Shoney’s, Blair stood in an empty lot across from the courthouse with a reported 150 or so of his favorite Blairtards, teaching them about democracy and how unfair it is that when you say racist things, people accuse you of saying racist things.
“Last week, I was fired from KYCA radio station for asking a question,” he laments, then yells at somebody for maybe calling him a “fat fuck” or “jizz-eating sand clown” or whatever. (Blair’s original question, again for posterity: “To depict the biggest picture on the building as a Black person, I would have to ask the question: Why?”)
He admits the question “probably was poorly worded, and in retrospect I also admit that it was probably offensive to some. Pardon me, I need to put my glasses on (fidgets with sunglasses to put on regular glasses) … probably offensive to some.”
It’s all downhill from there, with talk of “functual” murals and “eth-ni-tissity” and how this is hopefully a “teachable moment,” ha. Also, it was his skills as a “number-cruncher” that led him to conclude that all kids depicted on Prescott elementary school murals should be white.
Blair added that it’s everybody else’s fault that this “notoriety” mess all happened, because “for the record, nobody has come to me once to say, ‘Hey, Steve, let us explain the mural to you and what it means.’” Everything that happens in Prescott must be vetted and approved by Steve Blair, from what condiments people can use on their turkey burgers (lard) to which magazines they can subscribe to (either Juggs or TV Guide).
BONUS: Here’s what might the mural have looked like had Steve Blair created it:

Sleazy. Notice the lack of eye contact (in the linked article) as he shakes the artist’s hand.
I trust this guy about as far as I can throw him. Which I think would actually be impossible according to the laws of physics.
Welcome to Steve Blair’s world, the rest of us of just live in it except the non whites who through the power of math shouldn’t be here.
You know, and that’s entirely reasonable, isn’t it?
If only they had told him, then he wouldn’t have felt the need to fucking go on the radio about it. If only they had told him, he wouldn’t have been FORCED to speculate. If only they had stopped him before he speculated, they could have prevented his speculations from going, really, the only place that logic could have taken them:
…that the mural was an insidious plot by the school to indoctrinate students into a Becktian plot for “diversity” and oneworldism and the like.
You see, if the school simply enrolled the city council as students and tried to educate THEM, then this sort of thing could be avoided. Otherwise, the educators are clearly not doing their jobs.
What a maroon.
Juggs is in fact the only pornographic magazine allowed in Prescott, after Blair determined that Oui! was French, Hustler supported communism and Playboy featured Arab women, and thus was obviously supporting terrorism.
[re=595120]SnarkyMark[/re]: and with your bad back you shouldn’t be throwing anyone…(my thanks to Edie McClurg for that one)
Jizz eating sand clown, what else is there to say?
Are we going to have to bring back the freedom riders and head off to AZ? If we do can we charter airplanes this time instead of buses? Buses smell bad a lot.
This ‘Steve Blair doughtickhead’ picture is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. If I encountered this on the sidewalk I would dodge into the bushes to get away.
Elementary school murals frequently send mixed moral messages. For example, my elemtary science teacher told me that wild bears were dangerous. Meanwhile, the mural on the wall showed happy kids playing with a cartoon bear under a rainbow. No doubt, the mural directly contributed to my being mauled by a grizzly at the San Diego Zoo.
The two men met [Jizz-eating sand clown and well-intentioned mural artist guy] briefly after a television cameraman at Blair’s press conference asked them for a joint comment. But, Wall noted, Blair declined to discuss the mural issue on air, stating that he had a prior commitment.
Prior commitment meaning what exactly? A Klan rally? Lynching a gay Mexican? Inquiring minds want to know!
[re=595123]overeducated[/re]: It’s Prescott, AZ, so I’m thinking “40++” would be allowed.
(Once found a copy of “Juggs” in the AV cabinet in a multimedia classroom at a university. It was the director’s.)
Is that a lizard wearing a fedora? Nice touch.
He actually says that just because he’s a racist private citizen doesn’t mean he’s a racist public servant.
He’s really apologizing for his failure to deliver the Tea Klux Klan’s brownophobe code words more adroitly.
What a sand cracker.
[re=595120]SnarkyMark[/re]: I think this was case of mugging for a different camera moment, but it sure looks like that, doesn’t it.
Kudos to the Daily Courier caption-writer for this excellent string of words: “Blair spoke before a crowd of 100-200 mostly supporters…”
Today we are all Mostly supporters. Mostly, fucky yeah!
ethnitissity? he card reads good!
I think I will just uncouple from history.
Steve Blair is such a fuckwad, I would just ask one question: Why?
[re=595143]UnattendedConsequence[/re]: Can you post the directions for the rest of us?
Why is the lizard wearing a hat?
[re=595130]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: But was it a mama grizzly? Because pat fucking buchanan said last night was the night of the mama grizzlies. No wonder I didn’t sleep a wink.
I just love the symbolism of the guy and the other racists holding their rally in a vacant lot.
Oh, and this gem from a supporter: “He’s a good man, and he’s not a racist,” Stearns said. “He’s being set up by people promoting political correctness. I’m for freedom of speech.”
Once again showing that when wignuts complains about “political correctness”, what it means is that no-one should call them out for their racism (or sexism, homophobia, etc.); and that they seem to thing freedom of speech means freedom from criticism.
I’m happy for the guy in the prison pajamas who is clean and sober, but why?
Haha, just the right amount of TruckNutz.
[re=595151]Jim89048[/re]: Hmm, I smell the new conventional wisdom, the new summation of the zeitgeist (the political consultants, they are all about the zeitgeist). What was it, 15 years ago, it was the angry white males? Then the soccer moms? Now we have the “momma grizzlies,” whatever the fuck they are, sociopathic racist cunts?
Where can we purchase prints of these valuable murals?
[re=595152]JMP[/re]: heh, yeah. The Pc Police. Another imaginary boogie man brought out by shame. It’s funny that when assholes feel shame they twist it into an outside event and spend their lives trying to legislate against it.
Grassroots!
Jesus, I’m white and I’m starting to hate white people. Lauri, your mural is the shizzle.
Shoney’s shout-out! Win-of-the-morning right there!
[re=595157]Prommie[/re]: If they take a cue from their leader, they’ll all quit halfway through their terms. If they win in November, that is.
i can’t wait until the oil spill hits arizona.
I just laughed so hard at that mural that I bumped my chin on my Iphone TRUCKNUTZ!!!!!
This is America and nobody should be censored from saying racist things by having those racist things reported as racist things.
But I will forgive Lauri for oppressing this functual-illiterate-American because, hooray for Lauri Apple art!
[re=595128]Chernobyl Soup[/re]: I wonder how many of us it would take to turn this into a “teachable moment” for Blair?
They were white teeth, and plentiful-some say they were filed to a point, but I wouldn’t vouch for that.
“Breakfast at Shoney’s at $2.99
Saved me some money and eased up my mind
I’m walkin’ in circles and feelin’ the pain
I’m tossin’ and turnin’ and cryin’ in vain….”
[re=595157]Prommie[/re]: Course the new “momma grizzlies” theme once again relegates women to less than; couldn’t be that there are just competent women who are running for office (even if they’re Republicans). It’s virgin-mother-whore all over again.
And it annoys me also because what parent in his/her right mind doesn’t turn into a raging near-psychopath when someone tries or does hurt their kid? Dads included. The other day a man commented here about the hell they’d raise if their kid was targeted by someone.
Seems to me if Pat Buchanan gets to go on teevee, then no one should have to resign. I guess MSNBC is trying to be fair and have a viewpoint from the non-human side.
[re=595199]Bubberella[/re]: While he appears to realize it’s a teachable moment, he doesn’t seem to comprehend he’s the one getting schooled, does he?
How does this impact on the “Racist Dickheads: Nature or Nurture” argument? Is dumbass a genetic configuration or does one choose to be a dumbass in a process of active self selection? If this specimen so full on tard that he doesn’t understand the cause and effect chain or is he just another politician trying to keep his base in a state of quivering rage (and from the pictures, his base appears to only have two settings, quivering rage and brainlock).
A is for the assholes in power.
R is for the racists who rule.
I is for the idiots who support them.
Z is for the zero tolerance of others.
O is for the ogres like Steve Blair.
N is for nuts who choose to live there.
A is for the arrogance of assholes.
Same old “I’m sorry that you got upset at what I said” non-apology that he hopes some people might mistake for an actual apology.
OT, I accidentally clicked on the last thread with his picture from the Night of Trolls and saw that Psychicwhatever posted his myspace link a fourth time. Y’all aren’t giving him any love.
[re=595211]Katydid[/re]: Hockey-mom, pit bull, momma grizzley, aww shucks corn-pone we chicks are tough, hyuck hyuck. Its the female equivalent of shucking and jiving.
Be careful calling people racist. Weekend Wonkette troll and certified moran, “vkladchik” (Steve Blair) argued vociferously on Sunday’s monster thread that Steve Blair had never actually said anything racist because he didn’t directly call a little Mexican boy the N word.
Permanently scarring a little non-white child’s soul because said child isn’t white does not qualify one as racist. That is so unfair. All these days later, it still makes no sense to me.
Does it to … ah, fuck it.
Lauri, your art belongs in MOMA.
“functual” = Be there, or be square.
[re=595211]Katydid[/re]: But you’ve gotta admit its a bit creepy we focus on our spawn entirely and not on other people that are not babies.
I’ll concede: childless, but I don’t wanna have kids if it’ll turn me into a mama grizzly….Or do i?
Who here is a yes vote for more humans?
[re=595260]sezme[/re]: vkladchik was an interesting creature. Wha? No racism here ? I see no racism. Who can provide me with photo/video evidence of racism??
When he puts on his fine cowboy hat he no doubt thinks he cuts a magnificent figure, like a Weight Watcher’s version of Raylan Givens.
She must belong to San Francisco
She must have lost her way
Postin’ a poster of Poncho and Cisco
One California day
She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood
And colours of green and grey
And all you can do is laugh at her
Doesn’t anybody know how to pray?
Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Arizona, have another look at the world
My myyy
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids
Arizona, hey won’tcha go my way (you jizz-stained sand clown)
Jizz eating sand-clown? Where do you get this shit??
Also, too, trucknutz in the mural FTW! Also.
[re=595269]druranium[/re]: druranium
I purposely didn’t have any chirrin not just because of the hapsburg jaw and lazy eye thing, but also because so I can say “fuck off” to the idjits who think their taxes entitle them to send their 12 kids to Jesus school at my expense.
I have a dream where we can all scream at children, regardless of their race.
[re=595360]Dolmance[/re]: You mean we can’t? Oops.
Sorry AZ, you do know we have written you off a long time ago? but thanks for the …., no actually Fuck You.
p.s. and CT
Being such an upstanding guy and all, I’m sure Steve Blair has already met with the parents of the kids to personally forgive them for their mistake of feeling offended.
[re=595237]dijetlo[/re]: On the nature side of the argument, some scientist should evaluate my amateur hypothesis that their DNA is not in the form of a double-helix, but of a Mobius strip.
Snarkart!
[re=595260]sezme[/re]: Vkchadk was holding out a private, idiosyncratic definition of racist.
He or she (oh, the hell with it: he) was simply saying, “You haven’t forced me to agree yet.” Well, that’s no standard of proof at all. It’s a childish game. It’s the same as saying that the sky isn’t really blue, because “blue” to you means an exact color value, and “sky” is large and only part of that sky had that color value at any time. He was not actually arguing a point: he was arguing that he, personally, was not convinced.
To which I thought, “Gosh, but that’s fine for him, except that he must live with people who speak language and operate in culture.”
Racism is judgment + action on the basis of the cultural complex known as “race” + the application of power. So, Mr. White Councilman on the Radio has power, applies it toward the powerless on the basis of the cultural complex known as race on the basis of what he perceived to be the threat to his “race.” That’s racism in all of its hue, shade, and bruise.
No state-shaped-political-sandwich-board-mural would be complete without a pair of red lamé ladies evening gloves! Or are those oven mitts? Either way.
Great – so glad to see Screechy the Child Devouring Clown back on teh Wonkettes! It’s a red letter day whenever that happens. I think this is the second one, so – cool.
[re=595126]The Church of Realism[/re]: Agreed. My mission for the remainder of the week is to work the term “jizz-eating sand clown” into a conversation.
He sits on numbers?
I keep telling you people: J&G Sales, Prescott, AR.
We Wonkeeters put our nickels together, and fund our Brown Brothers so that they can make a few select purchases, and . . . .
They Will LIGHT THAT MUTHERFUKER UP!

“Sporter.” Perfect for that LowRyder Drive By!
As I mentioned previously, vkladchik was last seen on this blog promoting “Draw Bad Pictures Of A Mean-Looking Arab Just To Troll Muslims Because They Deserve To Be Trolled What With Not Being White And Christian/Jewish/Atheist” day. So he has form on “Racism”.
[re=595694]Neilist[/re]: Isn’t that a AK-47 variant? Sure looks like one.
[re=595748]bamaboy[/re]: It’s an American built [USA! USA! USA!] clone of an AK. Those are less common than the clones of the M-16, in part because of the different design philosophies involved. The M-16 has an aluminum receiver that is relatively easy for a modern small machine shop to produce using CAM technology. The AK series uses stamped metal parts, which require a larger physical plant/production facility to make.
Personally, I prefer the AK action over the M-16. But in a different rifle, e.g., the Galil or the Valmet. That way you get the reliability of the AK, but better quality overall.
But either rifle in the hands of a couple of Chevy Impala-loads of East L.A. Vatos and Homeboys, and PRESCOTT, Arizona is GONNA ROCK & ROLL!!!!
VIVA ZAPATA!!!!!!!
Is that critter on the bottom of Steve’s mural El Chupacabra? I’m sorry, but I’m going to need to see its identification.
Some of us are STUCK here in the Grand Douchebag State because of the lousy economy which grows progressively worse with every dumbass remark that comes out of Jan-My-Father-Single-Handedly-Defeated-Hitler-and-By-the-Way-I-Hate-Messicans-Brewer’s piehole. My property values were already swirling the bowl before good old Jan decided the only way to be elected Gov was to appeal to the Saltine element. Don’t blame me – bust me outta here!
