David Paterson Celebrates Victory In Obama’s ‘Race To the Cock’

by Jack Stuef  


Do you need to know anything about today’s announcement of the results of the Obama administration’s “change your state education laws to appease Teach for America hipsters” plan? No, you don’t. You just need to know that David Paterson called it “Race To the Cock.” And really, isn’t that a perfect metaphor for what states were doing to try to get this sweet, sweet federal government money?

Everyone knows where cock is concerned, race is an extremely sensitive issue.

Race to the cock? Don’t mind if I do.

GOPCrusher August 24, 2010 at 5:54 pm

It’s shrinkage! I just got out of the pool.

chascates August 24, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Governor, would you like the chance to triple your state’s grant, just by trading it for what’s behind door number two?

Extemporanus August 24, 2010 at 5:58 pm

TelePrompter FAIL!

I think Larry Craig should get credit for “Race to the Cock.”

I absolutely love the smirking woman behind him. She’s about to pee just trying not to bust out laughing, but then you can tell she looked off to the side and calmed herself down by picturing herself winning that race to the cock. WINNER!

i used to play Race to the Cock at this bar near my college. Thursday nights, I think. Those were some humiliating times…

[re=644749]ArkansasFred[/re]: No fair. I think her lane was shorter (for some reason).

The video won’t work in Chrome for some reason :(

Don’t make me have to use that fascist Internet Explorer Politico!

[re=644753]jus_wonderin[/re]: [re=644749]ArkansasFred[/re]: Actually, after getting a head start, Levi finished first and Bristol was forced to drop out.

Did someone mention cock?

[re=644745]Extemporanus[/re]: You know he’s blind right? Or was that the joke?

american mutt August 24, 2010 at 6:25 pm

[re=644761]rafflesinc[/re]: both?

chascates August 24, 2010 at 6:25 pm

And it looks like Brian Williams is getting a little paunchy. He won’t joust Jenna Jameson that way.

Troubledog August 24, 2010 at 6:29 pm

Suddenly, cocks.

[re=644761]rafflesinc[/re]: Teleprompter says:

Extemporanus August 24, 2010 at 7:07 pm

[re=644761]rafflesinc[/re]: Wait, he’s blind?! Oh my god…BWAAAHAHAHA! That makes the joke even funnier!

Actually, I suppose I suppose I was a bit insensitive — braille TelePrompters are practically impossible to read from across the room, so the Governor’s gaffe is entirely understandable.

[re=644765]american mutt[/re]: You saw what I did there.

[re=644760]Limeylizzie[/re]: Sorry, Lizzie, but the “Race for the Cock” already started, and it was a rather crowded field. The good news, however, is that there are still opens slots remaing for tomorrow’s “Dash for the Gash”!

It’s scheduled for noon — does that give you enough time to warm up?

Race for the cock. Isn’t that the Houston 500?

Limeylizzie August 24, 2010 at 7:35 pm

[re=644789]Extemporanus[/re]: Am I dashing or am I the gash??

Reminds me of when I was listening to a radio broadcast of a high school football game in East Texas one night (don’t ask why), and an excited announcer got his “kick” and “punt” mixed up after a kid made a tremendously long kick: “Oh my gawsh, that was a FORTY ONE YARD KUNT.”

Followed by about five seconds of total on-air silence while the announcer and his sidekick were obviously trying to pull themselves together. And then no further mention whatsoever of the 123-foot vagina…

We’ll know this country is making progress with education when a Palin spawned child actually manages to graduate high school.

Shock story from Florida:

The Fix:

24% reporting in FL SEN. Meek leads Greene 53-33. W/16% reporting in FL GOV, Scott narrowly leading McCollum, 46-44

OT: I registered at Intense Debate. Where’s the intensity, sheeple!!

[re=644832]chascates[/re]: How do you think he got to be a billionaire? Charging the morans admission to his billionairistic presence, of course.

I got your education reform RIGHT HERE, pal!

Guess that makes New York the wiener!

As a native New Yorker, I can assure you what he says is neither mistaken nor humorous.

Is it possible to get Lloyd’s of London to insure Extemporanus’ snark?

Poisoned Rationality August 24, 2010 at 11:18 pm

If only ….

If only David Cameron had made this gaffe ….

[re=644811]Limeylizzie[/re]: Because the “Dash for the Gash” is a relay race, I won’t be able to answer that question until I have a better idea of your baton-handling skills.

[re=644838]WriteyWriterton[/re]: If I’m not mistaken, an AudioPrompter® is what George W. Bush relied upon during his first debate with John Kerry.

[re=644882]AKAM80TheWolf[/re]: Thank you for asking, but I’m fairly certain that Lloyd’s would classify my troubling tendency to snark-mutilate (aka “make typos”) as a pre-existing condition, and summarily deny coverage.

zhubajie August 25, 2010 at 4:42 am

So whose cock was he racing for?

BarackMyWorld August 25, 2010 at 5:59 am

Education reform is really on the balls.

WriteyWriterton August 25, 2010 at 9:01 am

[re=644976]Extemporanus[/re]: Hence the endless repetition then of “…race to the cock, Senator Kerry, heh, heh, heh.”

marioninnyc August 25, 2010 at 9:58 am

I can’t even watch this. It’s too cruel. I’ll just have to take your word on it.
