What have we learned this week?
Soccer is socialist.
Regulating CO2 is kicking the troops in the teeth.
Obama caused the Gulf oil spill.
Momma Grizzly women rule all politics.
[re=597202]Prommie[/re]: “What have we learned this week?”
And Saah Palin got s new padded bra to Support the Droops!
[re=597204]harry palmer[/re]: Oops, I forgot, also, pretty ladies run around naked on the field during world cup games.
I think you’re a keeper, young Mr. Frisch. And it’s heartening to see we libtards are raising our own bright youngsters with a grasp not only of politics, but actual irony. Now go get me a sandwich.
[re=597205]Prommie[/re]: Shhhh – I was keeping that story for private time!
[re=597202]Prommie[/re]: South Carolina is even more racist & fucked up than we thought.
Chickens are a bad primary strategy; demon sheep however work.
The CA Republicans are not quite crazy enough for Oily Taintz.
The comments can get a wee bit buggy at times.
And Ken learned how to get attention from the “lamestream media”.
Truly, that was the week that is the week that was.
goodnight, chet.
(o god, i am so old…)
Alvin Greene must’ve worked some last-minute magic — it turns out that the absentee ballots ran for Rawls, but the election-day voters, who had an extra coupla days to look at their choices, thought differently. Oh, and there’s this little nugget:
“In Spartanburg County, Ludwig said there are 25 precincts in which Greene received more votes than were actually cast and 50 other precincts where votes appeared to be missing from the final count.”
And while I’d prefer not to link to these idiots, they seem to have the story, whereas TPM doesn’t.

[re=597218]slappypaddy[/re]: Good night, David.
(I know the counter-sign. Can I come in, now?)
One small change of location, and Orly Taitz could become the Queen of South Carolina.
[re=597226]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Maybe someone thought they were hacking for Nikki and got their code wrong?
[re=597218]slappypaddy[/re]: Good night, David
And what about Palin’s new udders? Wonkette’s misogyny makes me sick.
[re=597243]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: I don’t think SC voters are sophisticated enough to elect her Queen. Besides, we have enough queens already, if you count drama queens. Not to mention Graham and Andre. Also.
Young Benjamin: the Citizen who will no longer wear Traficant’s toupee is running to be the Senate nominee, but he ain’t there yet.
Weekly review, where bohemian readers cremate their cares on the owl shrine.
Hayward still has a job, why? Because super double secretly he’s Alvin Green? WTF!!!???
John McCain is so right. Why do we have to pay any taxes at all? It’s not fair!
Love the return of “This Week in Wonk,” especially on a long week like this where I haven’t been able to
drinkbe on the web as much as I would want. But why blow your load like a BP well all at once. Split things up over the weekend so we don’t end up with one 300 post thread all weekend. Heck, you could even have each editor post their three favorite comments over the week just so you all can get more hits and more of those Web Ameros that you bloggers live off of. I’m just saying, milk it for all you can.Just a week, and I’ve already forgotten that Newell fellow.
Oh brother! I watched Keith Olberman’s interview with Alvin Greene last night. It was painful.
First, the guy seems to have been programmed to address any white guy as “sah”. Secondly, he can hardly articulate any word that happens to have more than two syllables. Third, by the time Keith realized he was talking to a transplant from the Jim Crow South, he turned into a deputy sheriff asking the boy whether he really got close to the nice white lady and what he actually did to her and the interview looked more like the prelude to a lynching.
If the guy is a plant from De Mint’s campaign I doubt he’s aware of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is.I wouldn’t be surprised if DeMint is behind this pathetic spectacle. After all, he’s kind of a douchebag and he’s a teabagger.
Yay! Wonkette’s clip show!
