Actual Muppet Now Has Good Shot At Republican Nomination, Probably

by Wonkette Jr.  

For many years we’ve been predicting the Republicans would eventually run an actual muppet for president, and that dream came true when Michele Bachmann ran for the GOP nomination. But since she quit, are there any other bug-eyed bits of cloth and foam and wire that could act stupid and crazy during the primaries? Yes, there is an actual muppet. It is called “Marvin E. Quasniki.”

Here at Wonkette, we are very much against “political humor” and “viral videos” and all that, but we are making an exception because this is basically the plot of a Philip K. Dick novel, and also because it’s a muppet, and because four years from now, the muppet will be taking part in debates and losing the general election to a robot. [YouTube]

#Occupy Sesame Street.

PalinzADummy January 10, 2012 at 7:33 pm

Hell, #Occupy EVERYTHING!

ifthethunderdontgetya January 10, 2012 at 3:14 pm

I'll be voting for Marvin E. Quasniki (or Bernie Sanders) this year.

But I will vote!

I'm still standing up for Vermin Supreme. But then, duh!

PalinzADummy January 10, 2012 at 7:35 pm

The boot on his head is sheer genius!

hagajim January 10, 2012 at 3:16 pm

Quasniki in 2016! Actually I thought all of our candidates this year are puppets, just run by the Koch instead of Sesame Street.

Swampgas_Man January 10, 2012 at 7:07 pm

They've got SOMEBODY'S hand shoved up their asses, either Koch bro or Rentboy.

BaldarTFlagass January 10, 2012 at 3:18 pm

Name too ethnic for righties.

paris biltong January 10, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Santorum = Anglo?

Limeylizzie January 10, 2012 at 3:48 pm

According to Bob Kerrey it's Latin for Asshole.

Sue4466 January 10, 2012 at 5:29 pm

Pretty sure Santorum = frothy.

PalinzADummy January 10, 2012 at 7:36 pm

The only reason that smug shitpile is getting *any* traction at all is because he's NotMittRomney, and we all know it.

Buckminster January 10, 2012 at 4:40 pm

Quasniki? Lord, too eastern bloc.

SorosBot January 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Wait, I thought the robot was already the favorite to get the Republican nomination this year?

PalinzADummy January 10, 2012 at 7:37 pm

I thought Mittens was only *mostly* cyborg.

BaldarTFlagass January 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Looks a bit like Paul Simon (the bow-tie guy, not the nebbish musician).

Mumbletypeg January 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Michael Steele is not impressed.

Radiotherapy January 10, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Quasniki/Beaker '12

not that Dewey January 10, 2012 at 3:56 pm

Beaker already has the best campaign video ever, so he's a lock.

Radiotherapy January 10, 2012 at 5:25 pm

And not a bad cover either.

iburl January 10, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Sam the Eagle has more gravitas than the whole human GOP field put together. Hopefully nobody will find out about his transactions with chickenhawk.com

SorosBot January 10, 2012 at 3:25 pm

You're all weirdos.

Indiepalin January 10, 2012 at 3:23 pm

Eric Sweetscent has my vote. What the country needs is a good Artiforg Surgeon.

SorosBot January 10, 2012 at 3:24 pm

I'm voting for Bunsen Honeydew myself.

Loaded_Pants January 10, 2012 at 4:43 pm

I'm writing in Animal.

Guppy January 10, 2012 at 3:25 pm

Actually, I'm generally in favor of butt-tocuhing.

paris biltong January 10, 2012 at 3:36 pm

Me too. Whatever it is.

El Pinche Boracho January 10, 2012 at 3:26 pm

Animal for Sec. of State. Gotta get some musician/weed smoker representation.

Beware though, the Koch brother muppets will fuck everything up: http://www.thereformedbroker.com/wp-content/uploa...

CapnFatback January 10, 2012 at 3:28 pm

You sure he's not a Democrat? He has no backbone, after all.

widestanceshakedown January 10, 2012 at 3:32 pm

Puppets are corporations, too, my friend.

neiltheblaze January 10, 2012 at 3:33 pm

What ever happened to Layne's Wonkbot anyway? Did she finally have a nervous breakdown? I miss the old girl.

Monsieur_Grumpe January 10, 2012 at 3:38 pm

Girl? Oh thank God. I thought I might be gay.

Sharkey January 10, 2012 at 3:56 pm

If that wasn't Riley (with possible scripting from Ken and/or other Riley-friends) I'll eat my three fins. THREE FINS I TELL YOU!

PalinzADummy January 10, 2012 at 7:41 pm

Mmm, soup.

paris biltong January 10, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Best line: If you win the caucuses you get to live in the State capitol. Much better than getting nothing, as things now stand.

Monsieur_Grumpe January 10, 2012 at 3:42 pm

Quasniki has 3 times the personality of Mittens, he's not nearly as phony and I'm guessing he's filled with a fist instead of bullshit. I'm thinking he's overqualified.

bagofmice January 10, 2012 at 5:19 pm

Upfisting has gone mainstream!

PsycWench January 10, 2012 at 3:45 pm

Only if it gets Elmo's endorsement.

BerkeleyBear January 11, 2012 at 12:00 pm

More like Elmo comes out as being "tickled" by the old coot.

SayItWithWookies January 10, 2012 at 3:48 pm

I'm not gonna vote for him until I find out whose hand is up his backside.

chicken_thief January 10, 2012 at 3:48 pm

Quasniki maybe. The purple teletubby, never.

littlebigdaddy January 10, 2012 at 3:50 pm

I would've thought Oscar the Grouch would be a good fit for the goopers.

smokefillednewyear January 10, 2012 at 3:51 pm

Republicans won't vote for a Joo.

Callyson January 10, 2012 at 3:55 pm

Quasniki/Miss Piggy 2012!

flamingpdog January 10, 2012 at 3:57 pm

No flag pin = no White House for this guy.

poncho_pilot January 10, 2012 at 4:06 pm

wouldn't be the first time a republican had someone elbow deep in his ass.

chascates January 10, 2012 at 5:25 pm

But can he get the Bert & Ernie gay vote?

fuflans January 10, 2012 at 6:01 pm

i wonder if tweety got a thrill up his leg.

YouBetcha January 10, 2012 at 7:13 pm

More sex appeal than Santorum, more lifelike than Romney, makes more sense than Paul, and has a bigger dick than Gingrich. I think we have our next GOP nominee, folks.

OKthennext January 10, 2012 at 8:54 pm

Did he call Mitt's sons with their great big teeth "handsome spooky ferrets"?

ShaveTheWhales January 10, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Thanks to Junior for the Dick joke. If Phil saw the world today, I think it would drive him to drugs.

PocketsTheClown January 10, 2012 at 11:46 pm

Puppet TV is a French thing.

Allmighty_Manos January 11, 2012 at 8:58 am

I had naturally assumed you were talking about Romney

FraAnima January 11, 2012 at 10:52 am

Wonkette may be against "political humor", but I believe the quotes have been placed incorrectly. After watching that incredibly sophomoric waste of time, I would term it political "humor".

lulzmonger February 26, 2012 at 11:05 pm

Today we are all handsome spooky ferrets.
