Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey has changed his mind and will run for Ben Nelson’s Senate seat! He, like Nelson, is an annoying centrist deficit whiner, but (a) at least he’s not horrible old Ben Nelson and (b) he is capable of winning the seat. Oh and (c), he once said this about then-newbie Senator Rick Santorum: “Santorum, that’s Latin for asshole.”

Nebraskan Who Said Funny Thing About Rick Santorum Will Run For Senate
Hola wonkerados.

Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

Wario is dead! Long live Waluigi!
He's already got a leg up on the competition.
Too soon, forever!
If Cherny's above reference was to peeing on Santorum's head,
Never too Soon, Forever!
(Yeah i know Kerrey dances funny).
He said this: "What can I say – she swept me off my foot," about Debra Winger.
Perhaps during his time as president/chancellor/provost/dean/whatever of the New School, some Greenwich Village New York Jewish knee-jerk bleeding-heart liberalism rubbed off on him. We can only hope.
I love him already. (re: "Santorum is an asshole")
The New Improved Kerrey! With Extra "E"!
As it turns out, Santorum is Latin for what comes out of an asshole but close enough.
It's a dead language so sometimes close enough just has to do.
That is being a flip-flopper in a good way!
Bob Kerrey has always been way ahead of his time.
He's a centrist asshole, but sadly probably the best we can get from Kansas.
(Psst…Kerrey's Nebraska…)
We often refer to Kansas as "Baja Nebraska."
Didn't he run for president and lose? Something about swiftboating or something? Or is he the one who is married to the catchup fortune??? Or Ariannah Huffington???
No no no…that was Kerry, whom Yerrow Guhl voted for! This is KeRRey.
…whom yerrow man de-legged back in the Nam.
In da Mekong Derta?
"Santorum" is genitive plural, so that would be "of the assholes."
I must be certifiably Geek, for loving this comment~
Yo también.
I thought plural genitals was a hermaphrodite.
What if he's diphallic?
Then he's mine.
DP without having to hear moans in stereo? Good deal.
Too much Santorum.
Huhuh Beavis, you don't know what bisexual means? It means you've got two schlongs!
– Butthead
Nice comment, Santor
TWO STATES!
…one leg.
Yay, a new douchebag "centrist" Democratic senator to replace the out outgoing douchebag "centrist" Democratic senator.
Cue Chevy Chase from the end of "Fletch": Thank God, the… police.
Is he also planning to get back with Debra Winger?
Say hello to the new Joseph I. Lieberman of the West.
(Ben Nelson was the former title holder.)
USA! USA! USA!

JON TESTER LIBEL!
MAX BAUCUS LIBEL!
I don't think Tester rises to the standard.
Baucus, I'll grant you.
~
Tester's an up and comer! Or maybe that's "down and goer"…
I kind of like Kerrey because he'll tell anybody to fuck off and die. Anybody.
Hot tub and coke parties with Linda Rondstadt!
I guess so (see below).
Didn't this guy used to bang Linda Ronstadt?
No, that was Governor Moonbeam (Jerry Brown.) I believe this guy used to get with Debra Winger.
He was the Winger banger. He famously said "She swept me off my foot"
That is excellent, I would bang a one-legged man who said that.
What about one with two legs who hops a lot?
Ooh Arrgh! It's me lucky day!
I guess I need to spend more time at the People Magazine website, then I'd be up on all this shit.
Nah, fuck that.
I spent way too many hours of my childhood doing the crosswords in TV Guide & inadvertently memorizing cast credits of teevee shows/ viewing gossip mags like ET, and still confuse the same two politician-lovin' wimmenz you just cited.
"changed his mind and will run"
Great, another flip-flop by another Kerrey. The Repubs will be short-stroking this all over the fucking place.
Ya, but he's running against a guy who compared welfare recipients to scavaging racoons, so who knows, maybe Kerrey will have a shot.
That hardly counts.
Maybe since Bob Kerrey has already had a nightmare-infested post war-crime life he can keep some of the Senate's louder chickenhawks at bay. It's about as much as one can hope for in someone advertised as slightly less horrible than Ben Nelson.
“Santorum, that’s Latin for asshole.”
And on that note–Kerrey for Senate 2012!
On the one hand, it's dismaying that no one but former incumbents ever jump into the ring. On the other hand, at least he'll spare us the tragedy of a would-be citizen legislator's inevitable decline into corruption.
Oh Kerrey. Santorum is Latin for asshole juice.
And since Kerrey is a Medal of Honor winner and former Navy SEAL, his patriotism is suspect. It's like that Kerry fellah from Massachusetts and Max Cleland from Georgia with their Silver Stars were short on their commitment to 'Murica, also, too.
The Kerry smear was almost kindergarten stuff compared to what they did to Cleland.
These douchenozzles can pray to Jeebus all they want, they still ain't got no soul to save.
That still makes me fucking furious. And that fatuous PRICK Saxby Chambliss managed to convince the fucking idioterati of Georgia to put him BACK in that seat, may all their gonads rot with the jungle rot.
If Max Cleland really loved his country, he would of lost all four limbs!
Bob Kerrey has changed his mind and will
runlimp…Kerrey's running? Pull the other one!
Yeah, he's no Bernie Sanders, but E. coli woud be a significant step up from Benny the Assfaced Boy.
I just checked to see who he is running against – Jon Bruning, state AG who compared welfare recipients to scavaging racoons.
A moderate won't stand a chance in NE against that kind of crazy.
Sounds like a job for Steve King and his trusty hand cannon!
And today's numbers of cheer…
http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2012president…
Ah, some cheer. Thanks LL.
With the bonus cherry-on-top of cheer that comes with seeing Newt get lower odds than Ron Paul.
Oh, man. You make me so happy!
He is a good person! Leave him alone!
Hear, hear!
Nebraska is Nebraska and Kansas Arkansas.
Can it really be considered funny in Nebraska, if it doesn't mention corn?
Or holes?
But does he know how to use Twitter?
Does he lerve the ghey? Or will he try to prey me away?
One big difference:
You can spend an eternity driving across Kansas on I-70.
In Nebraska, it's I-80!
He certainly pissed off everyone at the New School while 'leading' that august organization. Why doesn't retired Gen. Wesley Clark run for something?
Not really impressed with this bit of news, but I'd love to be proven wrong about him.
Well technically it's Latin for "of the holy [ones]" or "of the saints."
Well, he's got MY vote. I mean, face it, he totally fucking NAILED Santorum.
The hol(e)y ones …
