DEMOCRACY'S LEGACY

There Is Nothing That Carly Fiorina Hated More In The 90s Than Voting

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Carly Fiorina is notable for exactly one thing: like three weeks ago, she became famous for having the Internet’s worst website. She thought it would be enough, you see, to let people know that the worlds “Carly Fiorina” sort of sound like “California,” and this is how she expected to defeat Barbara Boxer for her Senate seat. Just by pointing out this one thing. But now there’s a new Carly Fiorina thing! Specifically Fiorina, like eBay lady/gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, doesn’t care for voting, just simply does not care for it. MORE »

RACE TO THE APOCALYPSE

Carly Fiorina Comes Through With The Very Witty Senate Campaign Slogan!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Wealthy corporate human Carly Fiorina, the disgraced dingbat liar from John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, is planning a run against Barbara Boxer in next year’s California Senate race. Cute!

[Carly for California]


WRAPPED UP IN BOOKS

Barbara Boxer’s New Dick Cheney Hate Fiction And Other Stories

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

“Quality, not quantity” is an epigram that’s in favor with people who realize that they do not have a sufficient amount of a thing.

Barbara Boxer On Jim Inhofe: He Has A Vagina

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Wonkette liberal junk mail target operative “Rita” sends us this scan of “a postcard I got from Barbara Boxer thanking California voters for their support.” We don’t really know where the “thanking” part is — do they make two-sided paper these days? — all we see is Barbara Boxer calling her arch enemy Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe a woman. Even worse, a former woman. Is Barbara Boxer trying to tell us something?


RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

The Politico Knows Where You Sleep, Dawn

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
  • The Politico, having already sufficiently raped and pillaged the Morning, Evening, and Afternoon, now has its sights set on the THE DAWN, the rosy fingertips of which it will pry its signature demon scooplets from mercilessly. (No but, uh, actually. See bottom.) [Ben Smith]
  • Nate Silver’s pet Andrew has thrown up some math numbers about tied elections being rare (…?), but not before warning us that “probably Nate could come up with something a bit more precise.” Sad. [538]
  • Slate has a CONTRARIAN new article about how pointless the G20 is. Just try telling that to the millions who have risked their iPhones and limited-run sneakers and taken to the streets today in London to march against (or for?) something or other. [Slate]
  • 2008 human souvenir Carly Fiorina might mount an unsuccessful run against Barbara Boxer. [CNN Political Ticker]
  • A sneak peek at the ADP report reveals that something like three quarters of a million jobs were lost in March. But this is good news, you see, because now that there are no more jobs, we cannot possibly report greater losses in April. [AMERICAblog]

AMERICA' FLOURISHING STIMULUS DEBATE

Lindsey Graham, Barbara Boxer Hold Slap Fight On Senate Floor

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Here’s a clip from the popular Hardball “Sideshow” segment — the part that covers the exact same stuff as the rest of the show but is tagged, arbitrarily, as being super wacky! — in which Lindsey Graham gets really gay about The Stimulus Package, because it doesn’t give Mother any funds with which to buy him a pony. Barbara Boxer shouts “GEORGE BUSH” just to shut him up, and Graham laments that no one ever buys him nice things. [YouTube]

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

A “high-level” aide to communist Sen. Barbara Boxer of California has been arrested after — whoops! — he was caught chatting and swapping cock pictures with 13-year-old boys on a liberal social network called “Google Hello.” Gross! And the funny thing about one of those 13-year-old boys was that he was actually an FBI detective, trying to capture him. OOPS. Let’s learn more about Mr. Jeff Rosato, who has walked straight into a cold Blowvember gust. MORE »


GROUNDBREAKING POLITICAL HAIRSTYLES

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

That's hot.WHAT HAS BARBARA BOXER DONE TO HER HAIR? Maybe it’s just been a while since we’ve seen her on television. Now she looks like Meredith Viera. Dude down the aisle from us is losing his mind clapping for Barbara Boxer. “Sixty is the new fifty,” the end, thank you California. Onward.
