Bachmann Challenger Fights Back With Her Own Army of Jims

by Lauri Apple  

Your Wonkette has already told you about Congresscreep Meechellle Backmann‘s brand-new campaign commercial starring “Jim the Election Guy,” an android-like EveryBro who talks all dumb-like about Bachmann’s challenger, “Taxin’ Tarryl” Clark, while standing with his legs wide apart the whole time (it’s weird). Now Clark has responded with her own ad, and it’s got not just one but three Jims! They’re not as young and slick as Jim T.E.G., but they have passion and gravitas and supposedly are even registered to vote in Bachmann’s Congressional district. So: If a brawl between Bachmann & Jim and Clark & the Jims took place, which side would win? Answer in the comments. [Tarryl Clark web page]

The Jims of Tarryl, by default.

Bachmann’s Jim would be to busy working the MSP restrooms.

DaiMacculate August 27, 2010 at 9:21 am

I’m gonna go with Clark and the Jims on the strength of Jim #3′s epic beard.

President ODreamy August 27, 2010 at 9:21 am

Oh, that dude with the big beard could definitely take JTEG all by himself, leaving everyone else to pile on and beat the living crap outta Madame Crazy-eyes. Amiright?

toooldtocare August 27, 2010 at 9:26 am

If I shut my eyes, I’d have to believe the Jim the First was Andy Rooney

harry palmer August 27, 2010 at 9:27 am

Bachmann’s would win, because she’s God’s chosen, so He’s gonna put all the other Jims to the sword, every man, woman and child of them, and smite all their first-borns, and then Bachman and her Jim are gonna hang out forever in heaven not fucking and listening to Amy Grant.

Geogre August 27, 2010 at 9:33 am

This is easy. We know from Linda McMahon’s challenger what opponents of Teabaggers do.

Bachmann’s Jim is simply begging for a nut kick, and then those inflamed grapes will pop, and he’ll be useless. Then they’ll only have to deal with Bachmann’s claws.

JMP August 27, 2010 at 9:38 am

Running against Bachmann, Ms. Clark shouldn’t need ads this complicated; a simple slogan should suffice, like “Vote Taryll: the district will no longer be a national laughingstock”.

[re=646929]harry palmer[/re]: Eternity listening to Amy Grant ain’t what I’d call heaven.

Oblios Cap August 27, 2010 at 9:43 am

Damn! I must agree that Jim #3′s beard is epic. He could hide half the Palin clan in that.

ManchuCandidate August 27, 2010 at 9:43 am

Having three buddies along didn’t help Mace Windu and I don’t think they’ll help Tarryl. They will get chopped up pretty quick by Emperor Bachman who will then use her Retard Force Lightning on Tarryl or her smug boytoy Jimmy will cut Tarryl something good.

But good luck any way.

harry palmer August 27, 2010 at 9:45 am

[re=646937]weejee[/re]: Yes, well that’s the problem with everything else they try to sell the place with, too. Hell, on the other hand, will at least be interesting.

Limeylizzie August 27, 2010 at 9:47 am

I am also in awe of Jim with what appears to be some sort of triple beard. He is polyhirsutic , if that is a word or did I ,like Shakespeare and the Bard of Wasilla , just make it up?

Monsieur Grumpe August 27, 2010 at 9:48 am

Not another wide stance guy. I’m guessing he hangs out at the Minneapolis St Paul too.

Monsieur Grumpe August 27, 2010 at 9:50 am

[re=646946]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:
MSP AIRPORT that is.
Jeeeeeezuz!

harry palmer August 27, 2010 at 10:00 am

[re=646944]Limeylizzie[/re]: The one thing is a bard, the other hairs are growing out of a giant mole under his chin. And you’d think he could’v gotten dressed up to go on TV – but for him, that’s probably mean polyester-suitic.

user-of-owls August 27, 2010 at 10:26 am

[re=646944]Limeylizzie[/re]: Wow! What a coincidence. ‘Polyhirsutic’ came up on my Word of the Day Calendar yesterday! And today’s word is ‘multifollicular.’ Amazing.

Oblios Cap August 27, 2010 at 10:36 am

[re=646959]user-of-owls[/re]:

Serendipitous, indeed.

Most Palinwormesque, some might say.

snoidoid August 27, 2010 at 10:36 am

I just gotta point out that Bachman’s Jim clearly has bigger balls that all three of Tarryl’s Jims.

gurukalehuru August 27, 2010 at 10:37 am

#3=Jungle Jim.

Limeylizzie August 27, 2010 at 10:38 am

[re=646959]user-of-owls[/re]: Oh my God, mine yesterday was Panbarbic.

Berkeley Bear August 27, 2010 at 10:52 am

Bachmann has the crazy strength going for her, so normally I’d say she wins. But she’s so nuts that I think she’d turn on her Jim, and while she’s busy sucking out his eyeballs with one of Palin’s cast-off bendy straws or smearing his liver on her face Tarryl and her buddies could chop her head off.

user-of-owls August 27, 2010 at 10:56 am

[re=646968]Oblios Cap[/re]: Very nice Conjecture!

user-of-owls August 27, 2010 at 11:00 am

[re=646985]Berkeley Bear[/re]: Tarryl and her buddies could chop her head off.
Only if they don’t look directly at her. Otherwise, Bachmann would be having a TV debate with a stone statue, and that could get awkward.

Fewer Jims, more djinns. (And, since swift-winged rumor reports that today is Friday, more gin.)

Buzz Feedback August 27, 2010 at 11:09 am

Look at my jimmy.

user-of-owls August 27, 2010 at 11:10 am

[re=646997]chaste everywhere[/re]: “more djinns” Put down the bottle, dude.

JMP August 27, 2010 at 11:10 am

[re=646952]harry palmer[/re]: “The one thing is a bard”

So you’re saying that Jim #3 is a musician who has some thief skills, a bit of fighting ability and can cast limited mage spells who is generally considered to be the worst class?

AddHomonym August 27, 2010 at 11:13 am

Legs spread wide for the proper teabaggin’, yes?

Not_So_Much August 27, 2010 at 11:26 am

Did biker-beard Jim flip us off at about 1:19? He’s my guy then. Also.

SayItWithWookies August 27, 2010 at 11:35 am

JTEG was definitely a bad move by Bachmann — she gets herself a spokesmimbo who looks like a Ryan Seacrest wannabe, and then gets outflanked by Clark’s trio of Civil War re-enactors. Michele should know if she’s gonna go whole prole, she’s gotta stick with it and not get fancy the first opportunity she has.

jus_wonderin August 27, 2010 at 11:47 am

Tarryl’s Jims win, IMO. Bachmann’s Jim is a bowlegged twinky with a fetish for cucumbers.

CapnFatback August 27, 2010 at 12:03 pm

[re=647043]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Civil War re-enactors, you say? In that case, I’ll look for Clark’s next video to include the teeming insight of another polyhirsutic wonder, Chilton Burr.

Accordion-o-rama August 27, 2010 at 12:10 pm

And in the final days a three-headed Djim roamed the land, riding a flaming Asshole, seeking whom it may devour …

Sharkey August 27, 2010 at 12:13 pm

Step into a slim, Jim.

just pixels August 27, 2010 at 12:15 pm

Joe the Plumber. Jim the Election Guy. Newt the Nut. I’m glad our campaigns don’t have any those complicated “ideas” and “decisions” anymore. Leaves more time for blog commenting.

DC Hates Me August 27, 2010 at 12:18 pm

Ad is annoying and didn’t like. Wonkette commenters can make better ads that would tarnish Bachmann good. Don’t play footsie if you want to win, Tarrrylll.

GOPCrusher August 27, 2010 at 12:42 pm

Vote Tarryl Clark. Because batshyt crazy is no way to go through life.

Trinkett August 27, 2010 at 1:39 pm

I don’t care who wins the fight as long as they play the music from Tarryl’s ad in the background.

Come here a minute August 27, 2010 at 2:54 pm

[re=646942]harry palmer[/re]: I have it on good authority that heaven is a place where nothing — nothing — ever happens.

Enslave the Whales August 28, 2010 at 2:39 am

The definitive answer to Lauri’s question awaits Neilist’s comparative evaluation of their heat.

Enslave the Whales August 28, 2010 at 2:40 am

And, BTW, the whatcha-callit supertitle is fucking gold.

Brendan August 28, 2010 at 10:51 pm

[re=646934]JMP[/re]: hahahaha best slogan ever.

and wait. does michelllepac get to be a player in the rasslin match?
