Throwing around racial slurs is such second nature to members of the Alabama GOP, they cannot even remember to filter themselves when they are wearing around FBI wires during corruption investigations that forever record their drawling abuses of human language so they can be played back to grand juries. When state Sen. Scott Beason was told that he had appeared on a transcript of a recorded conversation about gambling corruption calling all black people “aborigines,” he did the decent thing and responded with an apologetic, “oh, huh, don’t remember that, must have said it.” IMPORTANT FACT: there were no cameras there so does anyone really care? No, no cameras, just some bad audio, EVERYBODY IS SAFE. (It is called The Rod Blagojevich Theory of Committing Atrocities.) Post-racial America, everyone!
From the AP:
A defense attorney for indicted casino owner Milton McGregor presented a transcript in court Wednesday from a recorded conversation that Republican Sen. Scott Beason of Gardendale had with two other GOP legislators. The three were joking about economic development in predominantly black Greene County and the customers at one of the county’s largest employers, the Greenetrack casino in Eutaw.
“That’s y’all’s Indians,” one Republican said.
“They’re aborigines, but they’re not Indians,” Beason replied.
When quizzed by defense lawyer Bobby Segall, Beason said he didn’t recall recording the conversation, but he didn’t dispute its accuracy.
Indians, black people, Kenyans, they are the same at being exploited, which is very good at it. Exactly zero people are shocked that Alabama Republicans are a bunch of racist scum, so oh YAWN FRIDAY NEWS CYCLE it’s time to go to bed, or die, or drink. Good luck, Alabama. [AP]

What a dumb uncle fucker he is.
He's so dumb because his mom was a brotherfucker.
I fucked your uncle yesterday, uncle fucker go away.
Eutaw? Ain't that where them aboriginal Mormans is from?
(apologies to Skoal Rebel)
WRONG! You know less about American History than Sarah Palin™ and Michele Bachmann combined. The Mormans started in Palmyra New York when Joseph Smith found some invisible gold plaques OKing polygamy after he was caught in bed with Fanny Alger, his housekeeper. They had a secret child and after his term as governator of Deseret (or Eutaw as it's known today), the child and affair were revealed. The Papa-Ratsi devoured the errant Papa and he was never heard from again.
Wha? No watermelon jokes?
Why is the Obama administration dragging it's feet on getting those re-education camps set up?
This is not change I can believe in!
It's gonna be tough in the South, as it's not easy to reeducate someone who was never educated in the first place.
Trying to get FEMA to do *anything* is a pain in the ass.
And I had thought it was more insulting to call someone an Alabaman.
In Alabama the insult to is call someone a Mississippian.
…and, in Mississippi, the insult is just to call someone a nigger, which is the bottom of the barrel of slurish vulgarity.

This same shit-for-brains also wants to shoot all those illegal alien foreigner types:
http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2011/02/sen_scott_bea...
I thought that was the guy in Kansas?
This was a great country until some idiot gave away a perfectly good island to those Illegal Alien Dutch for a boxful of beads.
This guy is one of the Crimson Tide's biggest boosters. Him and his in-bred- dumb-ass cousins.
They'll never stop fucking that chicken.
~
Oh, come on! That chicken is a total slut!
I know, right? Did you see what it was wearing? Nothing!
You mean him and his wife?
Brandine: I just don't feel right doing this in front of my parents.
Cletus: Now, Honey, they's my parents too.
Fuck the tide. Hook 'em Horns!
Indians are from India, duh.
And aborigines are generally speaking from Australia. Who knew that Alabama had such an international citizenry!
Someone needs to send Beason a copy of Rabbit-Proof Fence. Or an education. Or something.
I've seen that movie. He'd never make it though; not enough a'sploshuns.
somebody needs to build a Southern-proof fence.
Injuns, however, are our aborigines.
[twangy shit-drawl]: "Those is the "Native Americans" and they somehow come from Native America or some doggone shit now.. Goddamn Libruls and their coe-reck garbitch."
That's exactly what Chris Columbus thought when he hit the Caribbean beach he thought was Asia. "Look, these guys must be Indians." Right after that he said "These would make Excellent Slaves."
There's another tidbit soon to be excised from the kiddies' History books.
A racist Alabama politician? Shock! Awe! (Aw, shit!)
Nothing new to see here, please keep moving. Alabamans are always that backward. He probably forgot that he was wearing a microphone, perhaps because he thought that was what the FBI guy had shoved up his ass.
They really could have a good laugh with one of these types couldn't they? (As he inserts a foot-long zucchini up cungressmin Bubba's arse) " This is the long range repeater for the boys out in the van, it may be a bit uncomfortable…"
I want to hear what Sara has to say about Weinergate. Don't they let her out on Friday's sometimes? Yes?
She called him "impotent" Isn't she a gem?
Too soft?
Oops, too soon?
No. Benincasa!
"She called him "impotent" Isn't she a gem? "
What is wrong with her anyway? I don't think any widely known politician has ever so often publicly and nationally referred to men in the most emasculating terms possible repeatedly, while at the same time flashing her hoohah, wiggling her tongue, and winking like a hooker that just closed the deal.
And the same can be said in regard to throwing her underage daughters onto the media stage and pointing them out to the entire damn country as objects of perverted sexual lust, again, repeatedly, giving her the opportunity to make other repeated unsavory accusations against men.
Gentlemen, would you rather be called limp and impotent, or a pedophile? Doesn't matter to Sarah, but you'll be called one or the other if you cross her, or if she thinks it would be useful to accuse you of either.
I don't know what happened to that vicious harpy in her younger days, but she is one messed up pervert.
I think she's forsaken us. Like the Ken.
They all forsake us in the end. The list of Wonkette writers we have driven screaming into the darkness with a gun in one hand and a bottle of Jim Beam in the other is a long one. KBJ's day is probably coming. Already I've noted a more distinctive cynicism in her posts, and it's only been two weeks.
I know, right? And also, wasn't the deal with Stuef burning out in one year that he was writing the majority of the posts, day in and day out? And even so, Ken was still writing posts, and Riley was writing morning posts…
This KBJ (sounds like LBJ!) is writing EVERY post. I give her two months, at this rate.
I suspect some of Steuf's burnout could have come from the teatards' reaction to his work (see the Trig r*****d incident, the Reason article about the dickwads in New Hamprhire). Also, I see where KBJ has only been with us for one week, not two. The will to live is being crushed out of her at an accelerated rate.
Sara Benincasa is around and twittering.

I love that woman. And I'm not even straight.
Thanks! This is the chip of Benincasa smack I need to get me through today.
Love it, but I don't Tweet. Plus, 140 chars is not enough of Sara Benincasa.
Speaking as someone who is actually an Aborigine can I say that I find his stupidity more annoying than his racism? It reminds me of some lines from Fawlty Towere:
Major: I knew a girl once. I took her to see India!
Fawlty: (Impressed) Really?
Major: Yes they were playing at Lords. But she kept calling them "niggers"
Fawlty: (makes tut tut noises)
Major: I told her: "They're wogs. The West Indies are niggers".
I love any reference to Fawlty Towers! But, as I said below, the reference went over my
head as an Australian, since we call you aboriginal with no awareness this was a
negative word, which is why I'm horrified. I knew
to some Koori is preferred but
had no idea the word 'aboriginal' was in any way offensive…
In Alabama, calling somebody anything other than "white christian" is offensive
The word itself isn't offensive, just the way he used it; don't worry, you don't have to be horrified.
I'm so mortified that I don't get this!
In Australia, aborigine just means a person native to the place; I'm feeling really
horrible right now for not understanding! But I think being aware that one doesn't understand in some way compensates since normally the trogolodites are oblivious to their non understanding of, yes?
One hopes.
What he means is that Black's built Alabama and belong there more so than him.
guangho the mind-fucker
And in 97.2% of circumstances that's all it means. As another poster mentioned somewhere, a lot of white Southerners have a game of finding euphemisms for "nigger"–it's a means of being insulting, but with what they hope is plausible deniability.
OK, I get that it's meant to be insulting, but "aborigine" doesn't even make sense. Aborigines are from Australia. I mean, he might was well call the guy a "reindeer" or a "lollipop" or something.
It's not supposed to make sense. That's the beauty of the GOP. It's not a bug; it's a feature, my dear.
Lollipops suck. All they do is stick together around a white pole and sweat dissolutely until they dissolve.
From the AP article:
After court ended Wednesday, one of the nine defendants, independent state Sen. Harri Ann Smith of Slocomb, labeled Beason's remarks "disgusting and inexcusable."
"He needs to resign. I would think the Republic caucus would ask for his resignation," said Smith, a former Republican who employed Beason as a political consultant in 2008.
————-
I hope Harri Ann Smith's constituents reward her for her contribution to my amusement…but as we all know, the Reeps are more likely to give this guy a promotion…
Eh, hate to break it to you, but she's just as dirty as all the rest. The ENTIRE Alabama government, top to bottom, is corrupt as fuck. This was all about Bingo…BINGO for fuck's sake. Can you imagine how bad things would be if…I don't know…maybe there was a recession and we had around 15% unemployment?
They think they getting clever using big words and all 'at, but a racist fuckhead is a racist fuckhead not matter how much he dresses up and tries to play purty.
That's y'all's Southerners. They're hogs, swine, and pigfuckers, but they're not of the genus Sus.
Sir that is Pig Libel!
Do not malign those sweet porcine beings by comparing them to Southerners.
Should I be impressed that he at least knows a multi-syllabic word other than "pickaninnies" and leave it at that? Nah, I didn't think so either.
Not until he learns to call himself an "ignoramus."
what the fuck? is the word R***ta**rd**ed banned here?
I think so–I think that's a post – Trig scandal thing. I rephrased a comment I made once with that word and got it through that way. So, you were saying…
By the way, did anybody save a copy of the infamous Trig post? I didn't see it before it was banned, and I've been wondering what I missed.
You didn't miss that much. It was a C+ post at best.
It was a post celebrating Trig's birthday, and had a Trig Blingee. My memory was that all the snark was aimed at Trig's awful family, not at the poor tot himself. If you search the Breitbart sites, they probably have a cached copy in their trophy case.
Which they beat off to.
Please use the politically correct term, "Mongoloid", from now on.
Thanks, Gertrude Stein.
Just to be safe, I'm using the politically correct term, "Smartest member of the Palin clan."
Yee-haw, that's good.
My original comment was that this was further proof that all state legislators must be one of the three R's:
Rich, Retired, or the other one that you apparently cannot say on Wonkette.
What the fuck, Ken. Censorship? Really?
FYI, Ken's gone, same as that WORD.
Wait, what? I missed something. I saw that Ms. Pancho Boyd came on but… Ken is gone? I thought he was just lurking. Was there a good bye post?
More of a "sick of this for now" post:
"It has been fun, but I’ve also mostly just wanted work to be over, so I could do "real writing.""
Insults that start with the letter "R" and that won't get Wonkette in trouble…hmmm…
1. Redneck comes to mind, but…
2. …if you're of a literary bent, check out these Shakespearean ones: http://www.william-shakespeare.org.uk/shakespeare...
"Rich, Retired, or Ramping Fool" would have worked, for instance.
Rich, Retired, or Revolting?, Ridiculous? Repulsive? All of 'em, any of 'em?
All of them, Katie!
Republican?
Faggot?
Am i doing it right? Oh nevermind, gaybashing on those sites is ok. Move along.
tard works fine, as does ret@rd.
recessive genes???
Rancid repository recites ridiculous, regurgitated, racist rantings.
This bit of improv racism is a fitting way to celebrate the war on drugz 40th birthday today. With the egregious simple possession mandatory sentences the drug war has produced, yer average rednecked occifer knows that most any aboriginal s/he pullz over is good for a gram or three so off for years to the penitentiary. Yee hah!!
Is this a holiday, like 4/20?
Improv racism! Brilliant.
Not to be too pedantic, but technically "aborigines" are people native to a certain land, NOT people who were brought there in chains to work on cotton plantations, for free.
So that would be the melanin-impaired Founding Fathers who were the aborigines? Got it, now Palin's history lecture makes more sense. Thanks.
Thus proving the intelligence of the person using the term.
We also worked on tobacco plantations, sugarcane plantations, rice paddies…
And you got a free boat ride out of it, too.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some decent and compassionate thing to do to clear my conscience.
AND Negro craftsmen built much of monumental Washington, D.C. including the White House. Yet another excision from Little Jim-Bob's Texas approved Histiry text. You Betcha.
Dickwad.
Good grief – where'd all my p-points go? I think I've been downfisted furiously by the Brietbart gang. ouch. stop it. I'm tellin' Mom.
oops. Now they're back. So….. never mind.
Stop it, y'all. His best friend is an aborigine.
Oh Alabama, don't you ever change.
So this guy is Forest Gump's son?
As I recall, wasn't Forest Gump actually pretty nice? And tolerant because he didn't know any better? And confused when someone called the kids marching in to integrate the school "coons"?
I am in no way defending the movie, just saying Forest Gump was not a bad character. Stupid is as stupid does.
My momma had raccoons in the attic she couldn't get rid of them for days.
More like Hank Grotowski's dad.
Don't worry, Alabama. You've got the rest of the Union to help you along.
With greater than your proportionate share of Federal tax monies.
nah, southern man don't need him* around anyhow.
*i.e., people who don't find racist jokes funny, and who don't have sex with their blood relatives and livestock.
Throwing around racial slurs is such second nature to members of the
AlabamaGOPFixed for greater brevity and accuracy.

In his defense, he is white.
That's not a defense. It's an excuse.
In Alabama, it's an explanation.
Aborigines, Blacks, Indians. Can't we all agree that they have dark skin, and therefore deserve no respect? Hell, they should just be glad we are not bombing them.
We're not bombing them? Does the White House know this?
Bombing them is such a waste! We should be rounding them up and putting them in work camps – there's a reason it's a classic.
Bring back the plantations!
Cotton will be king again!
Polyester farms?
I'm amazed that anyone in Alabama can even pronounce the word "aborigine".
We haven't heard his pronunciation. Imagine the possibilities.
It's a sport in these parts to come up with synonyms for "n*gger."
It's usually pronounced "nigra."
Took them 3 days to find a translator to get the spelling right.
I can't believe we're in the 21st century…
What is WRONG with these people???
"What is WRONG with these people??? "
You could write a doctoral dissertation on that question and still not scratch the surface. But basically: They're uneducated; they're stupid; they're bigoted; they're inbred; and they suck.
They call the Civil War (isn't that an oxymoron, by the way) the War of Nawth'n Aggression, for starters. They still think they were right and should get to do things the way we did 'em in 1860.
Don't hate them because they were born white and "special" !!!
"I can't believe we're in the 21st century…
What is WRONG with these people???"
We are in the 21st century. They are in the 19th century.
perhaps it's time for a new Neil Young song to remind the rest of the US & world about these assholes? and Lynyrd Skynyrd are all dead so they can't write a "rebuttal" this time….
Who you callin' a snooki? That's our word! You can't use it!
Faux Pas. He meant "macaca."
And that's when he's on his good behavior. Imagine what he says when he's not wearing a wire?
At least he wasn't stupid enough to tweet his junk.
Oh he did, but everyone thought it was just a big belly. Big whoop.
Racist AND ignorant of the actual meaning of the words he uses!
Tea Party Poster Child.
Black Libel.
Aborigines – thas' a whole bunch 'o' syllables for you, ain't it bossman? I caint unnastand that kinda stuff, but I sho do likes a-being in this state full 'o' stupid fucking crackers!
He thought it sounded more high falutun' than nigra.
Personally, I'm quite fond of "nigra". It sounds high-falutin-ly Latin or something, as opposed to Negro, which just sounds cracker.
It is very sophisticated indeed
I remember when I was a kid, we'd watch Roy Rogers all morning and play Livestock Industry Workers and Aboriginal Americans all Saturday afternoon.
Not me. I carried a bazooka (i.e., a basebat bat) and shot up the German tanks (il.e., Fords, Chevys and Buicks) in my neighborhood.
OK, me too, really. I was deliberately lying for the sake of wordplay.
The RAT PATROL!!!!!! In color!

Ha!
YAWN FRIDAY NEWS CYCLE it’s time to go to bed, or die, or drink.
Heroin – it helps.
I was inspired by the movie Little Miss Sunshine. I am totally going to try heroin when I wind up in the nursing home.
I'm hoping by the time I'm an oldz, heroin will be covered by Medicare Part X.
If it's any consolation, morphine is already covered–but only when it's already too late.
Mostly Off Topic:
Best quote ever from a Republican, and by best, I don't actually mean "most amusingly revolting", I literally mean "kinda awesome":
Republican (State) Senator Voted For Gay Marriage
Awesome guy–this guy can be my Honorary Republican Hero. And willingness to say "Fuck it–I'm going to do the right thing" also qualifies him as an honorary Wonketteer.
You know what Dok? I have been thinking lately the word from up top Ailes/Koch/Rove/Limbo, whomever, is that the Repubs have given up on fighting the gheys. Maybe a little lip service on the way out (of the closet), but generally, they have a huge indifference to gay marriage and accepting as many as possible into their camp, openly at least. Discredit Breitfart, Foley, Graham, etc. for this gradual sea change. Santorum will always be with us (ew), but they just want tax cuts, military spending, oil, guns, fear, white people and abortion.
One of those Aborigines must have won big, or the Alabama casino owner wouldn't have been indicted.
Interesting defense though…
OT, but still about race-baiting and FUD: Are we going to have a thread about Mitch McConnell's hysterical diaper-soiling over scary Muslins being tried in civilian courts, instead of being disappeared to Azkaban? These rightwing fucks just love them some Constitution, right up to the point where it might apply to the Wrong People….
IMPORTANT FACT: there were no cameras there so does anyone really care? No, no cameras, just some bad audio, EVERYBODY IS SAFE
Unless he'd referenced how some voters cling to guns and religion, and was a Democrat, then the shit would be ON.
Shorter: Unless he was a Democrat, then the shit would be ON.
At some point we're gonna HAVE to riot about this shit. Black, brown, sane white, Christian, Muslim, Jew, and "other" are just all going to have to get together, grab some weapons and shut these motherfuckers up.
Thank you Ms. Grier.
Angela, that you?
That time seems to be fast approaching.
One place they ain't buyin' the idea of the brotherhood of all men is in the Bible Belt.
Aww, just look at those chubby cheeks and that shit eating grin…and that neck looks like it was just poured into that suit. In fact from the ears down he's all cheek and neck fat.
Fucker.
In Alabama it isn't post-racial, it's post-rational.
I realize that assumes there was a rational time in Alabama so it might not make much sense…
How 'bout Post Toasties? In the sun too long and he fried his grey matter to a crisp.
"In Alabama it isn't post-racial, it's
postpre-rational." Fixed.As a wise person once said, "I don't need to be reminded of how much you don't like me. I need to be reminded of why I am supposed to care."
"Dumb Alabama Senator." – Redundancy much, Kirsten?
Ohhh! Now his acceptance speech makes sense.
Scott Beason
"Dipshits of the world unite.
Theres a new Dippity Shit Alabama GOP state Sen in town and we aint gona give
nuttin honey to them uppity (redacted)."
to be fair, AZ,TX and GA have been getting LOT of attention.
Sen. Scott Beason just got his GOP wings! He's moving up.
I know that everyone in America deserves Representation in this American Republic, but doesn't it seem that the silly, mis – and under-educated pathologically selfish and self absorbed paranoid Tribal Caucasian violent semi-closeted Superstitious Fundamentalist Sectarian Billionaire's tools are wildly over represented? Is it just me?
No. And thank you for the nice summation of that particular drooling demographic.
Oh, you're welcome and thanks for the nice comment. Also good to hear I'm not alone. Summation's a little klunky & could be streamlined a bit, but I stand by my analysis.
shameless asshole, these fuckers WILL experience karma karma
Don't that guy listen to Midnight Oil?
This is why we can't have nice things, America.
Anyway, this is what happens when you try to get too creative with your vile racial slurs. He should have stuck with tried-and-true "niggers/niggras" and he'd have gotten a pat on the back from Alabama instead of all of the confused "what"s he's getting. Abor-whats-a-who? What this you're saying about "knees"? What's this? Some kind of Muslamo-Messican?
"No Viet Cong ever called me 'Nigger'."

Explaining to the national Press why he was a Draft Resister.
Actually, there is extreme anti-black racism in Viet Nam. Children of black GIs have had a terrible time in society there. It's worse than the deep south 50 years ago.
Blacks are from Australia? That's a new twist on the issue. Jesus these Alabama dopes can't even do a racist rant right.
just another day of Republican being RepubliKKKan,,,
Was he trying to sound educated?
I hope not. Because it didn't work.
It's hard to snark when it's basically the standard for republicans these days. Though I like that he used to McCain defense (I can't remember what I said, but sure, that sounds like something I'd say – you're right, I'm not only bigoted but a senile bigot too.)
The jokes really on this simple, pallid fucker. If his Kin have been in the South for long (as I'm sure they have) recent genetic studies indicate that there's a fair amount of African DNA mixed in with his. This is due to rampant unauthorized extracurricular Boffing amongst the dark & light populations over the 300 or so years they've been together. I'd like to let him in on the joke, personally, just to see him swallow his own tongue.
Today we are all extracurricular boffers.
Authorized AND Unauthorized.
Thanks. I love the clever usage of Internet Memes.
At least he didn't call them Canadians. No shit, that's the current code phrase among Southerners who are too polite to call black people monkeys.
What is it about wearing a red tie with a white shirt that turns dem folks into racists?
"What is it about wearing a red tie with a white shirt that turns dem folks into racists?"
It's the Dem Plantation.
Beason was much too busy thinking up ways to pander to the Tea Party while bankrupting Jefferson County, to recall every little conversation he had while wearing an FBI wire.
It's ALABAMA; nothing to apologize for! Silly country folk playing politicians? THAT's a laugh. The REAL states, NY, PA, etc, don't care one bit about what a bunch of sorry, country hic/hill-billies are saying in Montgomery, Alabamie. One sound of their back-woods accents would be proof positive that they are basically illiterate, dumb hay-seeds anyway, NEVER to really be taken seriously in 2011!! Let them remain in the 1960s, just like their ancestors. LOL Alabama politicians? What a joke THEY are! Pathetic bumpkins!
