PURGEMASTERS

Meet The New, Very Violent Michael Steele

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Michael Steele was so enraged by RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s original endorsement of Scuzzlebutt, the Maoist “moderate Republican” candidate in the NY-23 special election, that he has killed that Michael Steele and invented a new Michael Steele to dress up and run around on television as. This Michael Steele despises any semblance of moderation and promises to go Stalin on those moderate motherfuckers he’d already selected to run in various 2010 races. Moo moo, baby, motherfuckin’ cow on the tracks, can’t catch me, I’m on fire… MORE »


PRESUMABLE MALAPROPISMS

Why Is Lawrence O’Donnell Trying To Spoil Michael Steele’s Juice When It’s So Obvious He’s Not Going To Be Able To?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009


Oh look: Michael Steele went on Lawrence O’Donnell’s Try To Make Everyone Laugh Using Just Your Clothing show. Lawrence O’Donnell’s like, “Michael Steele, on a scale from total failure to total failure, how would you rate your involvement in the NY-23 race?” Michael Steele, gloating and beaming as if his mouth has never met the words coming out of it, basically responds that it’s not like winning political races is a skill you can just study and perfect. But ho ho, sure Mr. Guy, you just yell if it makes you feel better about your own insecurities, an offering which Lawrence O’Donnell readily accepts. [TPM]


CHANGING THE GAME

So For No Reason Michael Steele Loves Olympia Snowe Now?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Okay you guys, Michael Steele has been doing some Googling. No one panic. It’s just that, well, you’ve probably already heard about her, but… this Olympia Snowe lady? “I say, Welcome. Welcome. Each member of this party has a unique footprint. And it’s different from region to region. I can’t win in the Northeast with a candidate best suited for the South and vice-versa,” he said on teevee this morning, during which he disagreed with Tim Pawlenty’s criticism of Snowe’s liberal-ish proclivities. Oh but so anyway, because it is Michael Steele, his current M.O. is of course diametrically opposed to his public stance on this exact issue from ten months ago. MORE »


AMERICA'S TOP THREAT

RNC Has Funny Facebook Page, Too

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Sure, you can’t prevent any old dingbat from loading a “fan foto” to your Facebook fan page. But my oh my, what fans the RNC has! [Raw Story]


AMERICA'S GREATEST NON-WEBSITE PLATFORM

Meanwhile, At GOP.com, Some New Terrible Thing

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Looks like the RNC is still trying to give this “Internet” thing a go: “With an ever-increasing number of Czar appointments by President Obama, it has become clear that no position is too absurd. In an effort to assist in adding another cumbersome bureaucratic layer to government and to help properly ensure the basic human right of friendship to all Americans, a new Friendship Fairness Czar has recently been appointed. Tasked with the daunting responsibility of making sure that every Facebook user is equal, this new Czar will help redistribute the wealth of friendship from those who are too popular to those who are poor in friends.” Ha ha because Facebook friends are like “grocery money,” essentially!

APOCALYPSE

GOP.com Is Hilarious And Broken Because It’s *Not Even A Website*

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Michael Steele you have got to stop it with the funny today, we can’t take much more. NO NO DON’T GO ON TV! Oh no he’s going to say something too hilarious! Uh oh: “It’s a new platform for us. It’s not even really a web site.” No! A website is *exactly* what it is! This is too much. Let’s read some arbitrary news outlet to get away from all this, it doesn’t matter which… ah, New York Daily News, as good a choice as any, let’s see what’s in the ollll’ NYDN“GOP Posts Password, Admin Instructions on New Web Site.” GAHH. [TPM, NYDN]


TOO SAD

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
  • WHO’S MAKING FUN OF WHAT NOW? “The RNC’s big relaunch of its website has not gone so well today. In the last hour or so, the site has been crashing periodically. The Obama campaign’s former online guru, Joe Rospars, tells TPMDC: ‘You know your web program is in trouble when your site can’t even handle the traffic bump from people making fun of your web program.’” [TPM]

AMERICA'S TOP WEBSITES

Sweet Crickets, This New GOP Website Is One Helluva Funbag

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Yes. YES. Look at him shake it. He’s like, “What up? I’m here, and it’s time to party, baby.” Again: a hilarious dancing hobbit version of Michael Steele appears when you load the new GOP.com. Everyone is loving this. Think Progress is having a very Think Progress-y field day, with its dreaded flat tone of icy partisanship: “However, one of the people listed as a ‘great Republican’ is baseball legend Jackie Robinson, who actually identified himself as an independent. In fact, Robinson spoke out about the ‘hatred’ he saw at the 1964 GOP convention, where Barry Goldwater won the nomination. He called it ‘one of the most unforgettable and frightening experiences of my life.’” Holy potatoes, this is one fuckin’ website here. We’ll probably post about some other insane aspect of it in like an hour. [GOP.com]


A CHANGING WORLD

A Children’s Treasury Of ‘GOP Faces’ From The Hot New GOP Website

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

It pops up!The best aspect of the newly redesigned Republican Party website — aside from that amazing “What up?” thing — is the ability to refresh and refresh and refresh the homepage, for hours, to see all of the “GOP Faces” in circulation in the upper left corner, between the “G” and the “P,” where, what, a “Y” is supposed to go? But it’s just some random person’s head instead? Well your editors Jim and Juli have seen most or all of the “GOP Faces,” and analyzed them. Click the clicky to meet the members of what must be some secret “other” Republican Party in an alternate dimension, what with the youth and the diversity and the albino. MORE »


AMERICA'S GREATEST POLITICS GUY

Michael Steele Is Confused Again; Says ‘Poop’ In Unrelated Incident

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Wacky RNC chairman Michael Steele, who is in very deep shit right now with the orange boner in charge of House Republicans, heard about all of those white coats from the American Medical Association — historically Republican allies against health care reform movements, until now, because things are just so terrible — showing up on Obama’s front lawn today, and proceeded to make his devastating move: “The AMA is–does not have the credibility on this health care issue, as they would like to project.” He will now write an op-ed for the Washington Post to introduce his latest alternative, which would order a government bureaucrat get between you and your lying so-called “doctor.” Michael Steele also said “poop” today, which was pretty cool.

REPUBLICANS DISCUSSING POLICY

Michael Steele Tells GOP He Refuses To Stop Embarrassing Them Because Of Something About ‘The Streets’

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Oh shit, yo! You know who simply did not care for Michael Steele’s “seniors’ bill of rights”? Well, yes, of course: seniors. But also Republicans, who had to call a Secret Republican Meeting for purposes of going around the room, counter-clockwise, and everyone saying one thing they hate most about Michael Steele. The most popular answer: any time he involves himself in policy, in any way. Upon hearing this, Steele responded with his famed composure:  “And at one point, Steele, a Washington native, said that his upbringing in the ’streets’ made him a fighter and that he was determined to continue fighting and aggressively defending the party.” MORE »
