Liberal Death Car Brings Hell-o-Ween To Downtown

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Wonkette operative “Jeff E.” sends this photo from outside his office in Fat Cat rich person land, 17th Street between K and I. We all know who’s behind that wheel. Will no one tell Alan Grayson to stop pulling these stunts?

Alan Grayson’s “K Street Whore” Apology Is So Much Funnier Than The Actual Insult

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Yesterday the websites were very upset with Alan Grayson for calling some some Bernanke staffer a “K Street Whore.” Because yeah yeah, he’s a loose cannon and it’s like soo crazy or whatever, but “whore”? Well apparently it’s a term that’s often “correctly” viewed as offensive to women, he… deadpans? “I offer my sincere apology. I did not intend to use a term that is often, and correctly, seen as disrespectful of women.” MORE »


HIS EARLIER STUFF WAS STILL EDGIER

Alan Grayson’s Latest Comedy Bit Involves Alluding To The Promiscuity Of A Lobbyist Gal

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009


Oh goodness, a month ago Alan Grayson called some lobbyist lady a “K Street whore” and now the Internet has gotten a hold of the secret whore tapes. This was a terribly inappropriate thing to say, and as you can imagine, absolutely nothing has ever pleased The POLITICO more. MORE »

Friday, October 9th, 2009


Alan Grayson! Yes! Who even is this guy, and yet, ALAN GRAYSON. Watch Alan Grayson carry on for like four minutes about how much he hates Olympia Snowe and her whole stupid state. He’s like, “Maine? Hardly!” Seriously, he basically says this. MORE »

The POLITICO Guide To Grammar & Genocide: A Practical Holocaust Compendium

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Oh my god, truly terrible publication The POLITICO has created a H/holocaust style guide. Like an actual collection of words published on politico.com that serve to outline when it is okay to invoke lower case-h holocaust and when it is okay to go all WWII insidery and just GO FOR IT and use the capital H. “When is a holocaust not the Holocaust?” is the actual lede of this non-specific genocide of an article.

RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

Why Is Barack Obama Such A Shameless Reptile?

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
  • One hundred years from now, school children will marvel at how obtuse Americans in 2009 really were. “How could they not have known Barack Obama was a Reptilian Shapeshifter?” the children will ask. And then their civics teacher Mr. Floyd will chuckle and reply, “They were very stupid. Very very stupid.” [True/Slant: Harmon Leon]
  • Meanwhile, Michelle Obama goes on Sesame Street. But does she compose an awesome song about geometry, just like Philip Glass did? [The Caucus]
  • Glenn Beck is the loneliest man on the earth. [Think Progress]
  • Is it at all surprising that Creigh Deeds loves taxes more than he loves his children, but also hates Democracy with all his heart? No. No, it is not. [RedState]
  • There is serious money to be made disrespecting Republicans. Just ask Alan Grayson, who is now officially rich. [TPM]

Nancy Pelosi Would Like To Drag The Alan Grayson Thing Out For Another Hot Sec, If That’s Cool With You

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Nancy Pelosi wakes up every day and picks something to make worse. Today it is the ostentatiously minor “Alan Grayson Affair,” in which Floridian Congressman Alan Grayson went sooo crazy at some Orlando Kinko’s and came back with sassy hyperbolic poster-boards. Anyway, so Nancy Pelosi could have easily been like, “Alan: just mumble some bad-faith apology on Rachel Maddow or whatever and we will reimburse you for the Kinko’s purchases.” It being Nancy Pelosi, she of course did the opposite.

AMERICA'S HEALTH CARE DEBATE

If Only There Were A Public Option… For Killer Stand-Up!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Hello, Democratic Congressman from Florida Alan Grayson! We hear you have a few rather saucy remarks about the Republicans’ health care plan…… or lack thereof! Ha! Right though? Okay hit it, Mr. Man: “That’s right! The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick!”

Caustic, that trademark Ocala, FL wit.
