RNC Dude Just Busting Obama Campaign Manager’s Chops, Bro

by Josh Fruhlinger

Dude, working for the RNC is a sweet gig, but July is, like, super boring. Even the money people agree that the jobs report numbers, which ought to be good for some laughs on Barack Hussein, are lame. You gotta keep in the game somehow, though, and Twitter’s a great way to have a little fun when it’s slow at work while helping your guy Romney out. So why not just send Obama’s campaign manager like four or five Tweets a day making fun of his lousy campaign and calling him “bro”? No hard feelings, bro, we’ll go get a beer after the election.

Just having some fun on Twitter, don't get your panties in a knot

Anyway, the important question is: what kind of facial hair does bro-tastic RNC Political Director Rick Wiley have? Find out after the jump!

rad

Yes, Rick Wiley’s chinbeard is 100% sweet. That screencap is from this video, which is mostly a bunch of lame math and numbers but if you want to get a whiff of his awesome native bro-dialect, just hit play and listen to him say “How y’all doing.”

What about Rick’s antagonist in this so-far one-sided Twitter war? Jim Messina’s been taking the high road so far and not responding, but let’s check out his Twitter pic and see if it sheds some light on this dynamic:

NEERRRRRRRDDDDD

Look for things to escalate to Rick asking Jim “Why’re you hitting yourself, bro?” by mid-August. [Endless brotweetery]

Rick Wiley looks like he borrowed a Ralph Lauren shirt from daddy's closet. He doesn't even fill out the sleeves with his girly arms.

Designer_Radio July 6, 2012 at 12:30 pm

Pretty sure that's a blouse from the Big N Tall Ladies section of Dress Barn.

metamarcisf July 6, 2012 at 10:43 am

Love to see a picture of Rick Wiley wearing a bro.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 10:59 am

An Af-bro?

elviouslyqueer July 6, 2012 at 10:44 am

The douche is strong in this one.

Fukui-sanRadioBarb July 6, 2012 at 10:46 am

Nate Silver says your pet robot is losing, bro.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:05 am

Don't faze me, bro!

ibwilliamsi July 6, 2012 at 11:09 am

Of course, that only counts if they let every legal voter vote.

Doktor Zoom July 6, 2012 at 1:17 pm

Or unless all all the dead Democrats vote twenty times, like you know they do.

fuflans July 6, 2012 at 12:18 pm

thanks fukui, i'm paywalled out of nytimes.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 10:46 am

This guy doesn't look like a "bro" to me.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:05 am

He's an albin-bro.

ibwilliamsi July 6, 2012 at 11:09 am

He looks more like an "Adolph" to me.

MittBorg July 6, 2012 at 3:14 pm

Frankly, he looks MUCH more like an asshole to me.

Texan_Bulldog July 6, 2012 at 10:46 am

It's like he & Rick Scott were separated at birth–both are bald, have similar features and both are major assholes.

UnholyMoses July 6, 2012 at 11:09 am

He's like the love child of Rick Scott and Brian Urlacher …

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 10:47 am

"Don't tweet me, bro!!!"

starfanglednut July 6, 2012 at 10:47 am

Don't tase me, bro!

scvirginia July 6, 2012 at 11:13 am

Don't haze me, bro!

SexySmurf July 6, 2012 at 10:47 am

@messina2012 Go home and get ur fucking shinebox. #bro

Joshua Norton July 6, 2012 at 10:47 am

It's like being harrassed by a 6th grader.

Jus_Wonderin July 6, 2012 at 10:47 am

Are most skulls that pointy?

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 10:51 am

I think he's James Carville's little bro(ther).

Guppy July 6, 2012 at 2:50 pm

Don't read the Weekly World News much, do you?

ChernobylSoup July 6, 2012 at 10:48 am

Listen douchebag, Obama is going to destroy Romney in the biggest landslide since Reagan beat Mondale (yes, this will happen), so go away already.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 10:49 am

"damn 140 characters"

I know how he can get 3 more characters in every tweet.

scvirginia July 6, 2012 at 11:06 am

If only he could find some character for his candidate, know what I'm sayin'?

ManchuCandidate July 6, 2012 at 10:49 am

That's some serious clown tweets, bro

edgydrifter July 6, 2012 at 11:28 am

It's only Friday morning–did you really have to go and win the weekend already? High five, bro.

CrunchyKnee July 6, 2012 at 10:49 am

Shaved heads are the mullets of the 21st century, bro.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 10:56 am

I am so stealing that line.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:06 am

HEY! Watch it, bro!

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 11:12 am

Well, a shaved head is cooler than a bad combover.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:18 am

It's just easier to maintain…

Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my hair the most.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 11:26 am

Think of all the money you've saved in shampoo. Of course, washing your face takes a bit more time and soap, I reckon.

Come here a minute July 6, 2012 at 10:50 am

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful bromance.

Gratuitous World July 6, 2012 at 10:52 am

"hey, hermano."

Joshua Norton July 6, 2012 at 10:52 am

Hey Bro. Shaved head on a black dude can look sexy. On a pasty white dude it looks like they just got out of chemo.

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 12:50 pm

I believe Dave Barry was on record saying that white men with shaved heads looked like giant, walking thumbs.

Biff July 6, 2012 at 1:19 pm

Only because he couldn't say "penis" in the Miami papers.

Goonemeritus July 6, 2012 at 10:52 am

Nothing says power hungry frat boy like a one sided Twitter war from a chinbearded Douchebag.

starfanglednut July 6, 2012 at 10:54 am

Guy looks like he has frozen cum dripping from his chin.

Either that, or I've been on Wonkette too long.

Barb July 6, 2012 at 10:56 am

Frozen cum? That's hilarious! He's the Good Humor Bro.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:06 am

A bro-sicle

BoatOfVelociraptors July 6, 2012 at 12:25 pm

The "Todd".

Baconzgood July 6, 2012 at 10:54 am

U MAD BRO?

FakaktaSouth July 6, 2012 at 10:55 am

Which is worse, that he maybe really thinks/talks like this, or that he is "trying" to talk like this? And to what type of audience is he speaking? Is there a large "too old to be talking like a wannabe ski-bum douchebag" voting contingency? Do we want one?

johnnyzhivago July 6, 2012 at 10:56 am

The dude looks like some kind of crazy cult leader in a Ralph Lauren Nehru shirt.

PubOption July 6, 2012 at 11:18 am

I was thinking that he looks like a young Marshall Applewhite, remember the Heavens Gate suicide cult? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Applewhite

johnnyzhivago July 6, 2012 at 12:00 pm

Or Jake Busey in Contact???

Douchebagsayswhat, bro?

ShreditorsDesk July 6, 2012 at 10:57 am

He can easily do Uncle Fester for Halloween !

johnnyzhivago July 6, 2012 at 10:57 am

If your Vegas phone bank is "kicking" I'd be on the phone to Qwest, not wasting my time sending tweets out.

SorosBot July 6, 2012 at 10:57 am

So I guess it's true that the Republican party is the home of aging former fratboy jock bully asshole types. Bro.

Biel_ze_Bubba July 6, 2012 at 11:43 am

I think that's just the basic job requirements for Mitt's campaign.

ASHLEIGH_Joe July 6, 2012 at 2:21 pm

I have this whole thing about how if you've ever interacted with hedge fund/finance industry folks, they're obviously aging frat boys, which makes sense because this is generally a field that you break into more through upper-class personal connections that you cultivate in early adulthood via school, nepotism, or both at the same time, than due to any particular field-specific academic credentials.

But I never realized that the same was true of their campaign staff, as well.

IncenseDebate July 6, 2012 at 10:59 am

So the carpet has no drapes to match?

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 12:51 pm

I imagine that the other head is probably a smaller image of the one we see pictured here. Shiny, pointed, with a teeny little blond bit underneath.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 10:59 am

I see a shadow of the Breitbart/Waggaman encounter here…

ElPinche July 6, 2012 at 11:00 am

@messina, Right now sweeping a rentboys balls with my chin broom, bro

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 12:52 pm

This is COTW for me. Thank you. I actually choked a little on my own spit.

ElPinche July 6, 2012 at 1:23 pm

You're welcome! :)

Eve8Apples July 6, 2012 at 11:00 am

Beard? That's a chin pussy for tea baggin'.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:00 am

WTF happened to his eyebrows? Did he bleach them? Is he part of the Aryan Bro-hood? Is he albino? Is he an albino assassin from South Africa running Kruggerands thru LA?

mookwrthwilson July 6, 2012 at 2:19 pm

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!!!

scvirginia July 6, 2012 at 11:01 am

Did you say the chinbeard was 100% sweet or 100% wheat?

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 12:53 pm

Full of fiber!

Mittens Howell, III July 6, 2012 at 11:01 am

Hey Bro, having a tough time fitting this much asshole into 140 characters

Dudleydidwrong July 6, 2012 at 11:02 am

Bro, Bro, Bro you wrote
On your Twitter feed;
Shave your head and
Scratch your ass–
I think you've gone to seed.

Terry July 6, 2012 at 11:03 am

Rick Wiley may possibly be the whitest man alive.

BerkeleyBear July 6, 2012 at 11:52 am

Which is really bizarre to me, since the late Ralph Wiley was one of the baddest black men around.

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 12:53 pm

Whiter than RMoney? It cannot be.

DerrickWildcat July 6, 2012 at 11:03 am

Hahaha, the jokes on him. He doesn't know the secret blueprint for the spaceship to fly Romney to Kolob are right behind him!

Biel_ze_Bubba July 6, 2012 at 11:45 am

I think that's Ron Paul's blimp. Time to redecorate, bro!

Mittens Howell, III July 6, 2012 at 11:04 am

Help me bro, this is my real life.

SheriffRoscoe July 6, 2012 at 11:04 am

Will these two just get a room already?

clblabin July 6, 2012 at 11:05 am

With two brothers on opposite campaigns, they're in for an awkward Thanksgiving.

UnholyMoses July 6, 2012 at 11:06 am

Bro looks a lot like a sous chef at a hotel restaurant …

NellCote71 July 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Perfect.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 11:06 am

♫ What a shot he would be if he could shoot Wiley
With those Angry Eyes ♪

mavenmaven July 6, 2012 at 11:07 am

Someone needs to tell this puddingbeard that bros are out, hipsters are in. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to see Romney or Wiley in skinny jeans

scvirginia July 6, 2012 at 11:10 am

Skinny jeans & magic underwear? Could he even do that?

Eve8Apples July 6, 2012 at 11:42 am

"Someone needs to tell this puddingbeard that bros are out."

I think we should encourage him to use outdated jargon. I'd give Romney a $100 donation if he would Tweet "macaca," "coon," "chink," "hymie" or "wetback."

anniegetyerfun July 6, 2012 at 11:07 am

Shouldn't this guy be hosting a show about custom-made motorcycles on one of those formerly educational teevee channels?

Biel_ze_Bubba July 6, 2012 at 11:49 am

Maybe after working out for a year and getting a decent set of tats. Right now he's better suited to host the Dubious Trendy Cocktails Show.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 11:09 am

Jim Messina looks pretty good considering how hard he probably partied back when he was with Buffalo Springfield and Poco and Kenny Loggins.

mrpuma2u July 6, 2012 at 11:30 am

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n roll, bro.

Dildeaux July 6, 2012 at 11:50 am

+1 for Poco reference. That 8 track is around here somewhere….

pieoursquares July 6, 2012 at 11:09 am

Listen bro, my dad totally owns a dealership. Mitt came in to buy a sweet beamer and was all, "sweet goat bro. You wanna come, like manage my campaign and shit?"

JustPixelz July 6, 2012 at 11:10 am

Watching Romney try to clean up the mess he has over "RomneyCare" made me want to buy a robot vacuum. For about $300, I can spill Cheetos crumbs 'til my heart's content!

ibwilliamsi July 6, 2012 at 11:10 am

You KNOW that no woman in her right mind is kissing that face, right?

AddHomonym July 6, 2012 at 11:45 am

Looks like I have some competition, then, for the not-in-their-right-mind ones.

JustPixelz July 6, 2012 at 11:11 am

Definitely a brother from another mother.

actor212 July 6, 2012 at 11:31 am

More like a bro from another mo

johnnymeatworth July 6, 2012 at 11:11 am

It is kind of interesting to see him out of his Mudvayne costume, though.

JustPixelz July 6, 2012 at 11:12 am

Don't bro me twit.

Monsieur_Grumpe July 6, 2012 at 11:23 am

Nice ball bumper Rick.

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2012 at 11:23 am

He should grow his little goat-beard out a little and braid it, like Jeff Coffin. Then he could go on tour with Bela Fleck and call Futureman and Vic Wooten "bro" all day long.

joobajooba July 6, 2012 at 11:26 am

Looks like a Gordon Ramsay victim.

shortsandpants July 6, 2012 at 11:26 am

"I may or may not be in the K.K.K., Bro."

arihaya July 6, 2012 at 11:26 am

The gaydiation is strong on this one. Rick is a Log Cabin Republican isn't he?

BlueStateLibel July 6, 2012 at 11:28 am

I bet this guy buys his shirts two sizes larger to make himself not look like a skinny little weasel. Fail.

mrpuma2u July 6, 2012 at 11:29 am

This has no fap factor. :(

Chick-Fil-Atheist™ July 6, 2012 at 11:32 am

Jim Messina does kinda look like a Bill Plympton cartoon subject.

DemmeFatale July 6, 2012 at 11:34 am

Rick and Calista.
Would they cancel each other out?

Allmighty_Manos July 6, 2012 at 11:36 am

I don't remember King Tut from Batman being much of a "bro."

Toomush_Infer July 6, 2012 at 11:37 am

I think his bro is broken….

Dildeaux July 6, 2012 at 11:47 am

"Bro" is an endearing term used in the African American coommunity to connote friendship with another human being, usually male.

Whereas Mr Romney might say "buddy" or "pal" or "010100000011101", his African American counterpart for the presidency, Mr Obama, who is, the last time we checked, still African American, says "bro" or "homie" or "muhfuckah".

Bat Boy II is simply using "bro" to designate the POTUS is still a black dude.

Dild prides himself on bringing clarity to the discourse.

An_Outhouse July 6, 2012 at 11:55 am

@rick_wiley Your mother gives some sweet head, dude.

Naked_Bunny July 6, 2012 at 11:56 am

My roommate has a beard like that. Same color, even. He's also a part-time conservative. (He puts his Christian values on hold when my wife is going topless.)

BklynE July 6, 2012 at 12:05 pm

We're rollin' on out, looking for the greatest Dipshits, Douchebags & Dumbasses! This week, Las Vegas! This RNC phone bank is money! You could put this call sheet on a flip flop and it would taste good!

fuflans July 6, 2012 at 12:27 pm

god this guy's shirt is starchier than my ex-husband's.

my ex-husband's shirts drove me into the theatre.

true story.

ttommyunger July 6, 2012 at 1:14 pm

On the plus side, he's a MacAholic. On the minus side, he's a goofy-lookiing troll working out of his parent's basement; no doubt, Bro.

Extemporanus July 6, 2012 at 1:30 pm

Yo! Christine O'Donnell on line two, bro.

[I'm very disappointed in you guys...]

Lionel[redacted]Esq July 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Mr. Wiley had to use "bro" because "nigger lover" took up too many characters.

Neoyorquino July 6, 2012 at 2:02 pm

I'm waiting for this to descend to the level of a "come at me, bro" post.

XeckyGilchrist July 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

If you wondered how to recreate the effect of a honking campaign bus in tweets, wonder no more.

Rick WIley must not be very good at what he does if he gets elated at every WaPo poll. Seriously!

That beard MUST be outlawed.
