REPUBLICANS IN THE NEWS

23% of Americans Approve of Republican Party

Friday, April 24th, 2009

You're doing it wrong.As the GOP accelerates its transition to America’s own “National Front” fringe-nut-racist party, U.S. voters are, shockingly, repulsed by the Republicans. A new poll gives the Grand Old Party a favorable rating of just 23%, down another point from a week ago. Congressional Republicans have a 15% approval rate, also down a percent from last week. But what about socialist-elitist Barack Obama … you know, the black dude who is president? MORE »

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Well, is he?Having successfully completed a hilarious stack of FAIL on Tax Day, the Teabagging Cultists will next flap their testicles against the mouth of 9/11, our nation’s most holy day of remembrance. Just six months or so from right now, the fantastic teabagging momentum will strike again, as America sheds its tears over the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the places wingnuts and teabaggers hate most: Washington DC and New York City.

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Mmmm, tea.Wonkette operative/Capitol Spy “Valkyrie” sends this chilling report: “Just saw Capitol Hill police officers surrounding a guy and checking inside his metal basket cart. As I passed by, I looked inside, and the cart was filled with confiscated tea bags in little evidence bags, and the police officers were taking their pick. Fat cats.” Thanks, teabaggers, for providing our nation’s Capitol Cops with a selection of tasty herbal teas!

Lamest Teabagging Party In America

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Honk if you like fags!Wonkette operative “Laura” sends this cell-phone shot from the High Desert stucco ghetto of Victorville, California. This is one of the lamest fucking places in America, the fat diabetic heart of the housing collapse, basically everyone is on the dole — military pension, social security, disability, etc. — so of course it’s hard-core wingnut land. This is the kind of place where you see new Ron Paul 2008 posters stapled up on the phone poles to replace the ones that blew away. The signs these teabaggers are waving say “HONK IF YOU LOVE COCK.”


GOP'S HUFFINGTON POST

Michael Steele Finally Makes Statement On New York Congressional Race, Using RNC Publication ‘The Politico’

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

HuffPo for WingNuts.
That Tedisco-Murphy special election sure was exciting. Nobody won, officially, yet, although Democrat Scott Murphy has a small but solid non-Lizard People lead. But there are MILITARY absentee ballots still being counted, and regular absentee ballots, 4% still uncounted, in all — so who knows, right? The only real drama was “When will Michael Steele come out and try to desperately spin this in favor, so the Confederacy doesn’t make him vanish? MORE »


DEATH MATCH

SEETHING HATRED

McCain Can’t Even Tell Polite Lie About Supporting Palin In 2012

Monday, March 30th, 2009


How deeply must you despise your former running mate — the person you wanted America to accept as a perfectly good and safe president-in-waiting, just a few months ago — to be unable to fake a quick “Sure I support her” on a Sunday news-chat show? Here’s Old Walnuts McCain utterly unable to answer a simple question about Palin from David Gregory, because good lord, Palin is absolute human garbage. You’ve got to be some real dumb trash when even Republicans won’t support you. [YouTube/USA Today]


YOU'RE FIRED

GM Chief Rick Wagoner Fired, By Obama

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Private plane to Hell.Turns out there are some occasional consequences to keeping your failed industry afloat on a sea of free money from the government. General Motors’ CEO Richard Wagoner found out about that, today, when he was fired — excuse us, “resigned.” Barack Obama went on some teevee talky show this morning to complain about Detroit and the auto bailout, and by tonight Wagoner was out, the end.

The U.S. markets were all up up up about 7% all the way around, which means the Dow is right back to, uhm, mid-February levels. Yes We Can. MORE »


DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

Important Special Election For Republicans Being Ruined By Republicans

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Fuckin'Before his mouth was sewn shut by southern slaveholders, RNC chairman Michael Steele was always talking about the “battle royale” or “royale with cheese” that would define his dynamic, hippity hop leadership: a special election in rural New York State, to replace Democratic congresslady Kirsten Gillibrand, because now she’s got Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat, because blind-ass David Paterson decided the best thing to do was appoint a Democratic congresslady from a rural congressional district where Republicans have a good chance of winning because of all the poor white Hudson Valley trash up there, thus giving the GOP a very early chance to start a “comeback” narrative, which will fuel right-wing listserv The Politico for the next eight years of “seizing the day.” MORE »
