The weather outlook for South Carolina politics is “veritable shitstorm” for the next month or so owing to the hilarious-tragic inability of either major party to follow state election commission filing rules for candidates, which led the South Carolina Supreme Court last week to issue a monstrous “F” in reading comprehension to 180 candidates who [...]

A South Carolina gun and accessories company has been selling a very special, one-of-a-kind semi-automatic rifle component inscribed with “YOU LIE,” to honor the state’s favorite son Joe Wilson and his good Southern gentlemanly manners. Yes, for just $99.95, you too can carry those immortal words of pure American bald-eagle-blood spirit on your assault rifle [...]

South Carolina Congressman Joe “You LIE!” Wilson is currently riding around his district in a big fancy bus, surprising local proles by showing up at their work places and pretending like he gives a fuck about what they do all day. His road trip is officially called the “Joe Means Jobs” tour, which is Wilsonian [...]

Ooh, an outdoor adventure for shouty South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson. If anyone deserves it, it is him. Maybe he is taking a few days to “write something,” like his state’s governor did when he went hiking. Who is this “Maryanna Lynch” though, like his wife or some such? Maybe she had a career? And [...]

Feminists are furious at Barack Obama for pledging to eventually withdraw troops from Afghanistan, because what will become of the wildly popular Kabul production of The Vagina Monologues the Marine Corps puts on every year?

Hot date! Southern gentleman and rhetorician REP. JOE WILSON (R-SC) has been given the honor of escorting German Chancellor-Frau ANGELA MERKEL to the 20th annual Berlin Wall Ball. But will Joe be ready for the big night? Where will he find a corsage that compliments Angela’s captivating blue eyes? And can he trust the ILLEGAL [...]

Frothy shoutmonger Joe Wilson is a man of few words — as in, he only knows a few words in the entire English language. But he’s working on it!

Mark Sanford has been thinking awhile about this whole Joe Wilson thing, which really, if you think about it, makes sense to think about in terms of Sanford’s extramarital affair. (Lows by any other name!) Here is Sanford, giving some interview in South Carolina and just owning sixth grade’s most savvy rhetorical move: “The guy [...]

Sad whine, sad whine: Some of our nation’s saddest Republicans are terribly upset that Barack Obama will not put in an excruciating bad-faith appearance on some Fox News program this Sunday. You see, Obama will be stopping by the other major networks this weekend to talk about health care on “Meet the Press,” “State of [...]

All George W. Bush wanted was to build a missile shield in the Czech Republic or Poland but Obama—because he doesn’t want the typical semester abroad experience—would rather the shield be somewhere less like, banal, like Turkey or southern Europe. [New York Times] The lab worker fellow who is now a “person of interest” in [...]

Heavens! The DEBT COLLECTORS are in hot pursuit of America’s prized orator, JOE WILSON! Apparently Joe purchased 30,000 “I’m With Myself” tee shirts with his credit card, because he forgot to buy his wife something nice for 9/11. But guess what? BANK OF AMERICA does not accept SCREAMING as a form of payment! (It used [...]

The #1 asshole in Congress, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, says that Obama left Joe Wilson with no other choice than to shit out of his mouth last week, because who told Obama he could leave the back forty before sundown? “I don’t think there’s ever been a President comes to the House of Representatives [...]

Hey junior crime-solvers, President of America Jimmy Carter has solved our country’s most terrible mystery, which is exactly just how racist is Joe Wilson? The answer?

OKAY JESUS IT’S NOT LIKE JOE WILSON BEAT OBAMA WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER, ALTHOUGH HE PROBABLY WANTED TO, BUT STILL: So… what exactly are they demanding the state Chamber of Commerce do here? “WASHINGTON — State and local tourism officials are being flooded by e-mails and calls from people across the country, who say they won’t [...]

It’s like, why are Nancy Pelosi & The Democrats making such utter spectacles of themselves, interrupting the very important political work of health care and politics to yell at Joe Wilson? Michael Steele, in a statement, blah blah blah…
