Wonkette Muppet operative “Scott” writes: “Doesn’t Gov. Spitzer resemble the “Ohhhhhh! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrring! YipYipYipYipYipYipYip” alien from Sesame Street?” Scott is 100% true, or at the very least, he is stoned. Spitzer is this stupid Phone Muppet, and you must play this mp3 with it. Only then will you understand why Hillary Clinton is so terrible.

So guess who Camp Romney sent last night to SPIN for him in the SPIN ZONE? Why former presidential candidate and current racist Tom Tancredo, that’s who! Although he claims that if he had some Messican in him, he would be happy about it. But then wouldn’t we have to deport him?

Yeah yeah, Ronald McPaul, we know it’s an “independent expenditure,” but surely you can pull some strings since the blimp is for you? Or do you have no control over these illegal alien spambots!? Jesus. With leadership like this, we’ll never get the fascist 14th Amendment overturned.
