According to some guy on Tumblr: “How long was I in Virginia before spotting a handwritten, misspelled Tea Party message on a dry-erase board duct-taped to the back of a truck? Literally ten minutes.”
If you can’t read this (elitists need a special pair of populist 3-D glasses), here is what it says:
GrEAdY
Politian + CEO’S
S0LD our Jobs
ANd ThE
USA (No FuturE)
Let this be a lesson to all you protectionist pickup trucks out there: Important rear-end messages such as this are best made by something more permanent than a whiteboard. Obviously some librul activists INFILDTRAYTED this marker board and changed the letters so it just looks like this is the work of an idiot who can’t spell.

Teaparty? When did the DU go TeaParty?
http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/discus…
Literally ten minutes
It's like you won the lottery. A really crappy lottery.
Trucknutz, also?
Important!
He's saving up for a nice set of trucknutz, probably made from whiteboard.
The white board makes it easier to switch up the message at red lights when the talk radio informs him about his new enemies.
Using advanced white board message recovery software I was able to see that just recently this whiteboard was messageing "911 gRownd Zeo Mosk = $laveriry"
Of course, when he stops at the liquor store, you can always change to the obscenity of your choice.
Ahem. Talk radio has not never said the phrase "greedy CEO". CEO's are the heros of our age, the job creators, the captains of industry. Even if they're all Chinese now.
Not even Radio America? Oh yeah, nobody listens to them.
Poor bastard finally figured out he's been hosed– but why is he voting Republican?
It's like what they say about someone who commits suicide has killed the wrong person. These fools have plenty to be pissed about, they are just pissed at the wrong people.
It's like a tea party eclipse – every so often everything lines up and they realize that rich white men have sold their cracker asses up the river. Then Glenn Beck starts talking about African Nazis and Sarah Palin messes with their hormones and the moment is lost.
You meant, of course, the job creator white men, right?
SAraH paLIn MesSeD wiTh mY WhoReMoaN's!
Let me go Godwin here to point out that pissed-off Germans voted massively for the Fuehrer, who got them out of their misery, albeit not in exactly the right way.
And visited that misery on those around them. Hm…interesting!
I was going to say he spelled CEOs right but of course he put an apostrophe in it.
Actually, using a possessive form with a CEO is always appropriate.
I just spoke with Roger Ebert and he said it was OK to give you two thumbs up but Intense Debate won't let me.
HE NOES ENGLISH IS OUR LANGAGE!!
Are you shure it aint "are langage?"
Tangential, but I bet that Basil Marceux's homemade holiday cards are OFF THE CHAIN.
That's no republican. Republicans blame everyone but the greedy CEO's.
While giving those CEOs tax cuts.
Think what this truck could have written if it had received an adequate education.
Spelling aside, I can't really disagree with the guy.
No shit. Even Jesus hates gread.
Is that like one of those Greek breads, pita or something? 'Cause everyone knows Jesus loved that.
My thought, too.
He isn't worshiping the greed-heads. Except for the speeeeling, spot on.
~
I agree but I also thought the last word was torture.
Ah, bipartisanship at last. Second Amendment remedies anyone?
I don't disagree with him an iota, until I think beyond the initial sign and realize that it's very likely this guy votes Republican, and is thus voting for the pawns of CEOs.
Even the devil quotes scripture, and even a broken clock is right twice a day, as they say.
My unemployed Mexi-American brother-in-law voted for Rick fucking Perry – "cause he will keep America from taxing us to death!". I gave up at that point and started my "Leaving Las Vegas" exit strategy.
GPSAU!!!11!
You gotta respect someone who ends their sign with the original title of their favorite Sex Pistols track. That is one grate Amerian (Pretty Vacant).
who bought us?
france would be fun. or possibly brazil?
Foie Gras washed down with caipirinhas for everyone!
Kazakhstan, I'm afraid.
Ummmmm French Fries
I'll take Brazil, if they commandeer all the country music stations.
How is it that none of you fuckers guessed China? Today,we are all Chinese second-born girls.
China. They have a long-term lease agreement on us with an option to buy at the end. The Saudis are also minority owners.
Not teh Brazilianz, PLEASE!! The razor rash is HELL on a 50 y/o scrotum!
Half-nekkid, impressively-gluted Samba Queens FTW!
Wait, you have to be a teabagger to believe this is true?
Is that an umlaut over the O in "sold"?
I was thinking it looked more like a zero: Ø
I hate people who remind me that I can never find the fancy combos on my mac and make cool punctuation and foreign looking numbers.
I am such an old, limping failure. Except I make phenomenal fudge, so there. (And not that marshmallow cream shit).
Actually, it's pretty easy, just go to Wikipedia, maybe this page or somesuch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML…
And copy/paste whatever funny foreign dingbats you need.
But remember, "Mötlëÿ Crüë should always have as many umlauts as you can squeeze in.
You may now mail me some phenomenal Christmas fudge. Extra walnuts, please.
Henghh!!??
You're welcome. Also, thanks for the link.
It's all about squeezin in the Ümläűţş.
It's the O from Obama's campaign posters. All whiteboard manifestos must contain at least one dig toward Obama. It's the law.
It is nice to see that the coming of the teabaggers and the Conservative uprising has lifted the political conversation to such erudite levels. William F. Buckley must be resting peacefully tonight.
No buttz about it, s/he needz to hire Extemporanus as his/her nit-picking editor.
With his lousey spelling and whatnot.
You two are really starting to tick me off.
Sweet of you to notice, but with ticks I'd prefer you use a glowing cigarette or a joint, whatever, to make them let go before you gets with the picking. It makes for smaller holes in the skin & all.
aww, are they bugging you?
Don't think I won't remember who drew first blood, CT.
Before you get all engorged, keep your head, and
♪♫ Put the Lyme in the TruckieNutz, and drink it all up. ♪♫
These puns are getting so bad we all better flea or old Hawkeye, Nitty Bumpo, will start sending lead our way.
Home schooling at its finest.
Well, at least this nonsense is easier to understand than the usual cryptic word salad that Palin posts on twitter.
Being Virginia, what the author failed to mention was that it is a State-Owned Maintenance Vehicle.
And he hates the guvenment, no doubt. Idiocy. As I've said, it isn't accidental that Repubithugs have opposed funding for public education for the last several decades.
The Tea Party Brain Trust has spoken!
Despite my protests, my parents moved to Virginia after I went to college. The first time I visited them, what was the first thing I saw when I got off the plane? A massive mural of Pat Robertson and the CBN.
Fuck Virginia.
Ah, the Norfolk International Airport. We're proud of our local celebrities.
But I thought Pat Robertson was from Real America(tm) wherever the fuck that is.
Worse than a chickenhawk (yes, it's possible).
I still want to attend a dog-fight. With or without Mike Vick.
I think it would be fascinating.
i think this was on fred sanford's truck and it was supposed to say GRADY politicians & CEOs.
shut up, grady!
Computer… Enhance!

Hi Juli, we miss you here at the Wonkette, and hope that you are enjoying the Vanity Fair. BTW, do they have hog callin', and calf showin', and Ferris wheels 'n stuff at the Vanity Fair?
Funnel cakes. Yummmm.
Speaking of poor spellers, someone needs to tell this Juli that it should be "Wiener." I before e, dammit.
She's an operative – but at least she's alive, unlike the late Jim Newell.
weejee: You beat me to it! There is still plenty of good humor on Wonkette, but I surely do miss Juli. Also.
I hope they sold his job to someone who can spell.
The new jobholder spells perfectly and English is her second language.
(whispering): "Psst…most of the Tea Party leadership and bankrollers are Gready Politian + CEO’S."
As Seen on TV: Your local newspaper's online comment section in a handy take home form!
Do you think it will breed or has bred?
This is a good argument for spaying or neutering all pickup trucks.
Almost certainly. And the kids are likely to be the same or worse. Imagine a rustier truck with a couple of subwoofer boxes out back and stars and bars festooned in the rear window, Kid Rock pumping loud enough to drown out the open pipes and a pair of methbillies breeding on the bench seat. Daddy was sophisticated enough to fire off political commentary on his truck. Junior will just puke on his.
Since it is a dry-erase board it would be pretty easy for some undercover Muslin to sneak up and change the message to Allah Akbar/Kill Whitey with appropriate spelling and punctuation.
Holding these sentiments doesn't make you a teabagging Republican. Mispelling these sentiments on a white board duct-taped to your vehicle (which burns more natural resources going to the mall than an entire village in China uses in a year) does mean that you're about as self-aware as one.
No TruckNutz No Peace!!1!1!
Needs moar refudiation.
Since when did Virginia become like the South?
Oh, wait.
Ha! Virginia was the South before it became the South. They are the OG of the South.
A state that brought us the likes of General George Washington and General Robert E. Lee. They were once the Texas of the Union: prideful, overbearing, and loud as all hell.
I went to college in VA. No lie – there was a guy there who was convinced that the state's big mistake in the Civil War was joining the Confederacy; he believed Virginia would have been much better off if they had just seceded and gone off on their own.
Spelling fail – but analysis win!
"We have met the enemy and he is —- pretty much anybody but us because we are the helpless victims who bear no responsibility for the fact that our lives turned out poorly."

Has anyone made out what that bumper sticker says? Presumably, not Save the Whales or Visualize World Peace. Nor even Visualize Whirled Peas.
Mmmm. Whirled Peas.
It's as well-phrased and spelled as a Palin tweet. If her teevee career doesn't work out, she can become a sign writer.
All of my important rear-end messaging is delivered via a strap-on white board.
And I miss Juli, too.
Spelling aside, he could be an economist writing for the NYT.
But why listen to someone who has won the Nobel Prize in his field? PLUS the NYT is nothing but SOCIALISM/HITLER/JOOS!
I think Adolf would not be amused to be working cheek-to-jowl with so many of them.
Old Mrs. Gready isn't going to like that sign.
I have a sign on the back of my car that says; "I hate illiterate pickup truck drivers, especially the ones who vote against their own interests."
As a Virginian, I'm a little taken aback at some of these comments. Don't you folks have "Patriot Boards" on your trucks in other states? Well, Hawaii I'm sure doesn't, but you others? Come on!
I would bet for the cost of that truck, he could have bought himself some education at the local community college and had enough left over for a Hyundai.
Well it is clear he went out and bought the big truck and we can all see how that money was well spent.
Yes, they sold your jawbz and your United States as you cheered them on and voted for them, Virginia. Now you has a sad?
From time to time I speculate about how things would be were Colin Powell to have been elected in 2000. I bet there would have been a big 3rd party split with roughly the same cast of teabaggerers freaking out about having a sane Af-Am president. America's not ready!!!111!!!!
Colin Powell, show us your birth certificate. Also, why do you hate the troops?
Colin Powell had real potential. I was astounded that he allowed himself to be self destructed by a idiot.
More than likely, a Bush-Gore-Powell election would have been thrown to the House, & since I think the GOP was the majority in more than half the House delegations (at least in part 'cause places like Wyoming & the Dakotas only elect one representative), we still would have gotten Bush.
Obviously you weren't in Northern Virginia.
NoVA runs out pretty quickly, doesn't it?
Er…It may be possible to burp and fart, at the same time, to produce a more grammatically correct message.
But these are desperate times. With that in mind I'd like introduce the apostrophe "S" semi-colon
;'s.
Ta Daaaaaah.
It is very useful and may save us from our national decline if we apply it to signs posted on the stupidly inefficient vehicles we bought 10 years ago when we thought we could send all our jobs overseas and believed REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS, CEO'S and Wall Street were delivering us the the American "dream" whereby personal and public debt didn't matter.
Fuuuuuhk.
See what it was is, just like deficits don't matter, sending all the jobs overseas didn't matter cause we were going to be an information economy and all these brilliant truck nutz loving NASCAR imbeciles would have no-work jobs in IT. Until all those jobs went to Bangalore, where they can spell, in English.
Don't get why the content of this message is "teabag." Just because the person can't spell? Aside from the spelling, that sign is just a run-of-the-mill Drunk Wonketteer comment.
Not necessarily up our own ass in a bad way. More than the spelling is the timing. And the commitment all of the sudden to paste a dry-erase board to the back of one's truck. That office accessory didn't get there because Bush was president. And it's also likely that this is not a crazed paranoid leftist since those folks usually have lots and lots of stickers. Perhaps libertarian. Probably in a pot-smoking white-person white-powr-but-listens-to-rap sorta way.
Is "no future" a reference to the Sex Pistols? That could complicate things.
Worse yet, a tangential Sarah Connor reference?
"The future is not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves… "
I kinda agree with him. Does that make me rong?

Were can I find someone to make a decal for the back of my FORD window depicting the Nat Turner Rebellion?
It's my favorite.
If you anagram the capital letters, you get OULD GAYS SPENCE SANTA FE JOE or something. There's gotta be a subliminal message there.
The GOP is perfect at taking misguided misery/despair and channeling it into an unholy, indiscriminate hate/rage. In other words, the GOP has perfected the art of the Two Minute Hate. It's really not that hard to manipulate these kind of people when you realize that not only haven't most of them gotten over desegregation, but they haven't gotten over losing the not-so-Civil War.
Cognitive dissonance, much?
Just wait till he duct tapes his SMART board to the back of that truck!
Being sighted in Virginia, there's a 99.99% probability that he works for the DoD.
And is a GS-15 or SES.
Was that truck in a parking lot? The dry erase board could be changed, you know…
Master the possibilities.
Hey, I know Gready Politianaceos! That's that greek guy!
"Dey tuk 'er jerbs!!!"
Je-OOORRRB-s!!!
needs moar boilermakers.
Clinton sold the jobs. Bill fucking Clinton.
I wonder if s/he went to school with my daughter. They didn't correct spellling b/c it would "stifle her creativity and make her feel bad". Also, the vice-principal thought they didn't need no spellin – they have spell check nowadays.
"USA no lube"
It's true, this guy is a poor speller.
Does that mean he's wrong about politicians and CEOs?
I'm gonna git you suckas!
somebody sure has ants in his pants!
Why so crabby?
