Keith Olbermann’s favorite political television program hoster ever, Cenk [Last Name] of The Young Turks on Current TV, has put together a touching video tribute to the man who made this GOP primary season bearable for so very many of us. What would we have had without his spitting, his sneering, his whining and pouting, and — most importantly — those smegma-slicked lips? Nothing, it would have just been Newt Gingrich yelling at John King (and John King apologizing for having the bad manners to ask questions in a debate) and constantly horribly ill-at-ease Mitt Romney stuttering and flop-sweating. That would not have been interesting no matter how many times Diane Sawyer went to the pharmacy for airplane glue! (Grampa Ron Paul continues to not actually exist.) After the jump, relive the good times. (And Cenk [Last Name] doesn’t yell even once.)

"Young Turks"? I would think they would be Obama backers – being Radical Muslins and all.
They haven't stopped shouting long enough to pick anyone
The Young Turks usually spend their days killing Armenians.
But as the queer German, Ate-Off-Hitler said, "Who remembers the Armenians – except the Kardashians?"
Young Turks and the Armenian Genocide
Anyone post this tweet yet?
Sorry, Santorum, you must carry your campaign to full term.
~
+10000000 Even though there was evidence that the campaign never actually formed a brain or a heartbeat, you gotta see this one out. Sorry, rule of the land.
Did his campaign have a genetic defect?
Yes, Anencephaly.
NEEDS MOAR SWEATER VEST.
I've said it before but it is worth repeating. Rick is an ambulating colostomy bag. Thanks for the good times though.
You know that one obnoxiously loud frat boy who lived down the hall from you freshman year? The one who spent most of the night yelling about how awesome The Sex Pistols are, and who was constantly trying to hit you up for a good weed dealer?
He has a show on Current now.
Hey! I wasn't in a frat…
~
I had a good weed dealer!
Wow, your frat boys listened to the Sex Pistols? Bravo….I had to put up with people blasting 311 and Linkin Park for years.
So long, Ricky. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
And your rentboy lick'd ya.
And where the microphone spliffed ya.
Voters Slowly Realizing Santorum Believes Every Deranged Word That Comes Out Of His Mouth
Goodbye, you crazy, backwards, hateful frothy mix of a man!
That little red car made me dizzy.
In 50 years people will be asking "I heard Santorum was named after some Congressman, is that true?"
Yes, but only if we keep the flame alive! We must all make a sacred vow to never forget to mention that santorum is the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex, even years after Rick Santorum is no longer on the political scene.
I do NOT like Rod Stewart!
Apparently, abortion is cool when it comes to presidential campaigns.
I think Santorum schiavoed his candidacy, more than aborted it.
There was never any discernible brain activity, after all.
Huh. I thought "discernible" was spelled "discernable," and so I googled the word, and the third result was this.
I find that rather implausible, frankly.
You can tell by the way she walks…
Damn Belgians and their sexologists!
Really find it hard to take seriously. But if I am reading it right, a woman who vamps in public, advertising her sexuality, might actually enjoy sexual penetration more than one who doesn't. Stunning observation, and an amazing excuse to stare at women's asses – really, I'm doing research!
First thing I did after reading the headline was check the date, but apparently they're serious. Belgian, though.
But Santorum doesn't seem to think that matters with all the little zygotes he thinks are somehow humans with rights that trump those of women.
Byeh, byeh, Ricky; don't let the door hit you on your ample ass on the way out. Oh, and by the way, FUCK YOU VERY MUCH!
I guess America isn’t quite ready to have an all out religious war. Who knows maybe in another 4 years we can take our place among nations like Bosnia and Beirut.
Well, we war against Christmas, but by December 25 we're just too overwrought to bring out the long knives against the Godly.
Santorum: "A gay will come, and marry your son, your daughter will love her abortions.."
Ricky, have you ever been in a Turkish prison? Let me tell you, they know their santorum there.
Better re-read the definition of Santorum. They do not use lube in Turkish prison.
I was assuming that they saved lamb fat drippings from the meals to use as lube.
Or spit, or blood. The basics.
Ricky, do you like movies about Gladiators?
You get way more cable channels than I do.
It's on DISH Network, which I highly recommend as the only television provider that isn't owned by a right wing conglomerate.
Much in the spirit of Ricky's quitter speech, NONE of his supporters I have talked to have dared speaketh R-money's name. It is weird – but wonderful. I've seen some MASSIVE birtherism and a lot of Obama hate but nothing in support of the Mittster. Come on 3rd party…you can do it…
I'm going to miss that deranged piece of shit.
Editrix, I'm not sure how Cenk spells his last name, but it's pronounced "Whigger"
Kinda close but the u is oo and j is y.
Why do you hate Amurica, lib?
Needs more yelling.
SGT SLAUGHTER LIBEL, MAGGOT!
GAME OFF!
Does this mean there won't be a Santorum commemorative quarter?
BTW, how are they planning to engrave a black President on a coin when they get around to Obama?
I dunno; maybe they'll make him glow in the dark? If it works for Canadian dinosaurs, it may work for the Magic Negro. [ /freeper ]
Sharpie sold separately.
Shading. Or by putting him in a hoodie.
He had you on his show, and you can't get his last name down? Editrix, I hope you're better at morning-after first names. And I'll volunteer to test that out.
She probably gets all glassy-eyed…
Did I say that in my outer voice?
Oops.
Well, GOP, now that you have Santorum dropping out, eh, time to take a long shower, sober up, and shamble forth to vote with yawning enthusiasm for Mr. Excitement.
How many more patriots will we lose before Dog stops his cruel jokes of telling the dim to run, I ask you?
You just can't stop the Santorum. Well, butt plugs, but otherwise … Also, I heard that Current TV was Past.
I always thought Keith hated Cenk as he didn't want any competition yelling while at Current.
I just sort of assumed that Keith hated everyone.
Back in the motorcycle shop days of my youth the "Young Turks" were a gang with colors in NJ. A little lame as they road Honda Fours and once got their collective turkises kicked by the Coffin Kickers. This is how I often started my day for a few years, "I don't want no jap plugs in my machine." Didn't need coffee.
Aw, the Little Train That Could finally derailed. So long, you lesbian-daughter-having, psychotic-son-training, fetus-in-the-bed-hugging, total shitstain of a human being.
EQ, don't go pulling punches.
He's just saving himself for 2016. That's what the teevee tells me anyway. You know, because he's so viable and mainstream.
That would be good news for Elizabeth Warren (hopefully).
Actually, if you look at the Republican primaries over the last generation, the runner up is the nominee next time around: Reagan, Bush the Elder, and McCain…
Bob Dole is sad that you've forgotten Bob Dole.
(Though W. Bush bucked the trend, thanks to Buchannan being an obvious nutcase who decided to go for the third party run instead.)
Oh crap! I did! I need to be whipped!
Is your girlfriend free this afternoon?
No, she will be busy with –
- wait, you're trying to trick me into revealing our plans, aren't you? It won't work.
Young Turks Stop Yelling
I doubt that.
I'd only ever heard Cenk (on, like, AirAmerica or something), never seen him.
I'd hit it.
Cenk Kadir Uygur is my hero for this. Except for the Donald Trump cameo. That gave me the hiccups.
Sorry to be a "Looksist?" "Noseist?" but I am so glad I will not have look at his face while listening to the garbage coming out of the hole beneath that way-too-small-for-his-face nose. It is like his need to constantly wrinkle it at things has shrunk it up and I just don't want to see his stupid face any more. Good bye Rick you whiney sociopath.
It truly feels like someone stomped on his ant hill and now all his freaks are running around screaming about the foreign blah dude that's gonna kill us all with taxes and healthcare.
But you are right – there is so much wrong with his face. The fact that it is powered by a hateful bigoted little brain doesn't help at all, because you can get away with a severely goofy face if you have a charming personality to match. But combine such a face with a bitchy, whiny voice and loathsome personality, and the face just gets that much worse.
Seriously – it DOES work both ways – I don't call Bernie Sanders my pretend boyfriend just because he looks so fine. That sweet sweet talking of his makes me crazy, baby.
O/T Charles Manson up for parole for the gazillionth time ~
I didn't watch Palin do her stint on whatever morning news but I might have if it included seeing her presented w/ this news item to bring to the nation's attention. Who knows why. Maybe as a counterpoint to the craven self-righteous ignominy she, Ricky & ilk share.
Rick who?
You know, the guy who stayed in longer than Tim Pawlenzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I like Cenk. I don't like him as much as he likes the sound of his own voice and his own jokes, but I do like him.
I confess that even the one-in-a-million chance that this asshole might win the Republican nomination and win in November kept me up at night. Screaming. In abject terror.
I am sleeping much better, now.
Not to worry about Ricky's future.
He'll be back…kinda like that floater you have to reflush sometimes two or three times to try to get it to go away…but it just won't.
And there'll always be those who try to stop you from flushing.
But as happens with his kind, In the end, they always end up with Santorum.
To : Rebecca [Last Name],
The guy at Young Turks is named Cenk Uygur. And don't worry, his middle name is not "Ni-"…
Fuck. Now that it's safe to wear sweater vests again, the weather is too warm.
OF COOOUUUURRRSSE!
These are young Turks?
Where's the hookah, mint tea and baklava?
I'm thinking National Sweater Vest Bonfires from California to Maine this weekend.
I was a huge fan of the written Cenk Uygur until I saw him in person. I'm still a fan, but he does get awfully shouty at times.
