Georgia slaveowner Sen. Saxby Chambliss recently participated in this thing from National Geographic, which “invited all 100 U.S. Senators to draw a map of their home state from memory and to label at least three important places.” Most of the participating Senators sketched their states admirably. Chambliss, meanwhile, drew Mississippi, but with more saw teeth on the borders (to keep the Africans out) and a rectangle called “mountains.” This is truly catastrophic. [National Geographic]

Ha ha, Jim Martin lost like a little gay baby, and now we know why Obama never campaigned in the state for him: his two-time Senate election losingness in the same election. “With 90 percent of the state’s precincts reporting in Tuesday’s runoff election, Mr. Chambliss had 59 percent of the vote, and his Democratic challenger, Jim Martin, had 41 percent.” So this means that 2008 wasn’t just a good year for Republicans, but the best year. Now we will go back to never posting about dumb Saxby Chambliss, but if we have to, we’ll always have the perfect boob-grabbing photo. [NYT]

The 2008 Georgia Senate runoff — the single most important election since Clinton/Dole — is happening December 2nd, which is technically “tomorrow,” although that can’t possibly be true — it always sounded like something that would be “a few weeks away,” permanently. But it’s tomorrow and [Democrat] will probably lose to ol’ Saxby “Tit Clown” Chambliss. MORE »

Here’s heavy-petting Saxby Chambliss defending himself, on the Fox News, against a Jim Martin ad that quotes Chambliss saying he doesn’t even know what the term “recession” means. We’ll cut him some slack on that, because a new person is declaring a new version of the word everyday. But what’s notable is that Chambliss defends his comment by saying that he was quoting Alan Greenspan, people. He appears still to think that this is the ’90s/early ’00s, when name-dropping Greenspan worked as a blanket defense against criticism or, more importantly, an excuse not to learn anything about economics. This caused several problems. [YouTube]

How could we let Thanksgiving end without sharing C.S.A. Colonel Saxby Chambliss and family’s warm regards? What a lovely surprise! And the children! They tell us to vote for their “Big Daddy,” gross. “Big Daddy” responds with a white-knuckled clench of the little girl’s breast. [YouTube]

At the University of Georgia, a supersecret society of kinky hedonist plutocrats has spent years grooming its minions for high public office. This society is called “the Sigma Chi fraternity,” and both Jim Martin and Saxby Chambliss were members in the early 1960s. To what foul overlords have Martin and Chambliss pledged their undying fealty, and what will this mean for the United States Senate when one of them is elected to represent the great state of Georgia?

Remember when the election ended on Tuesday? Well, SECRET: it didn’t. Now that racist colonel Saxby Chambliss has been forced into a Senate runoff in Georgia against Democratic challenger Jim Martin (Dec. 2 — mark yr calendars!), the entire political world will descend on the former penal colony for one last romp in the swamp! John McCain has agreed to campaign for Chambliss already; Sarah Palin wants to campaign but, um, “scheduling conflicts;” and Jim Martin wants Barack Obama to come down and galvanize his merry band of black people straight to the polls! Obama has not agreed yet, however, since he now has to fix a global economy and not get us nuked. Presidents should be able to multitask though, right OBAMER? Let’s hope the reunion tour is every bit is “fun” as the general election was. [AJC]

HAHAHA SAXBY CHAMBLISS SUCKS: Betcha thought ol’ Georgia slaveowning Senator Saxby Chambliss was going to pull off a win against Democrat Jim Martin last night, DI’NTCHA NOW? Well, in comical fashion, Saxby’s vote share dipped to 49.9% at the last minute, and in Georgia a majority is required. That means there’ll probably be a runoff between Chambliss and Martin on Dec. 2. You get a second chance, Georgia — get it right. Shit, HIS NAME IS SAXBY CHAMBLISS! He does not care for you! [AJC]

Meet Dale Cardwell. He was on the teevee in Atlanta, as a “news reporter.” Now he’s running for the U.S. Senate against Confederate Sen. Saxby Chambliss. And that’s why Cardwell spent a week sleeping on a scaffold atop a 320-foot-tall tower … you know, so people would take him seriously. [46 News Atlanta]
