OUCH

What Shame Feels Like: Elie Wiesel Condemning You, On Twitter

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Hey, moron with the “health care reform = Dachau” sign at yesterday’s protest: freaking Elie Wiesel hates you, or at the very least… you know… considers that a false equivalency. On Twitter. [Twitter]


ON TWITTER

Science, Technology Combine To Produce Imporant Political Breakthrough

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Today in the “comical e-mail press releases that make for easy posts” file we have this, the latest terrible Twitter thing about nothing. Apparently Bob McDonnell is an asexual robot while Creigh Deeds is a suicidal pederast, on Twitter: “Front-runner McDonnell is much more ‘plugged in’ and less ‘depressed’ than Deeds; but Deeds is noticeably more touchy-feely (45% sensory category) in his Tweets than McDonnell (33%).” This explains everything about politics. Thank you, Science!


CAN WE HAVE ONE TOO?

Olympia Snowe, Melted. Next?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

For RedState, the time has come to fling poop toys at a Blue Dog Democrat. Erick Erickson writes, “Here’s the thing — if we make Earl Pomeroy’s life extremely painful for the next week, Republicans are going to think twice about jumping ship and so will a lot of the Blue Dog Democrats.” The actual Oxford-Harvard dictionary definition of “extremely painful” is “have some toy poop show up at your office in North Dakota.” It is more painful than cancer & Hitler combined.

PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING BUT STILL

CBS Newsman Would Just Like To Make Note Of This Fact He Spent Hours Researching

Monday, October 26th, 2009

This is one of those Jake Tapper-esque “Just sayin’, it’s a fact, just sayin’…” style twats from CBS’ Mark Knoller, who probably doesn’t mean to imply anything, but is just sayin’, this is a statistic, just puttin’ it out there, interpret it how you will, just sayin’. [Twitter]


ANNALS OF NEW MEDIA

Newt Gingrich Holding War Reenactment On Twitter, Whatever That Means

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

We don’t even want to know the mechanics of this: “Washington, DC – To celebrate the launch of Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) and Bill Forstchen’s new book, To Try Men’s Souls, about the Christmas Night 1776 crossing of the Delaware River and attack on the Hessians stationed in Trenton, NJ, St. Martin’s Press and Gingrich Communications are excited to announce the first ever twitter reenactment of the crossing!” Intern Riley will be liveblogging this on Sunday! Yes, Riley, it’s true! [Newt.org]


DEATH AND CARNAGE

First Congressman Gets Pig AIDS! UH OH

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Earlier today your Wonkette wrote, “Well, whichever members of Congress get sick first, we’ll know they’ve been schtupping the pages,” because all of the pages currently have devastating pig AIDS. Now we have a weiner! His name is Greg Walden (R-OR) and you can see him growing marijuana, on Twitter. Oops! [Twitter, The Hill]


JOHN MCCAIN'S DAUGHTER

The Meghan McCain Warholboobstwitter-gate Apologia

Friday, October 16th, 2009

It’s here it’s here it’s here! We have not slept since Meghan McCain first promised the promised Daily Beast column in which she would refuse to apologize for her boobs’ preference for pop art. This was the biggest scandal in D.C. politics, just yesterday. “And I hadn’t even exposed a nipple,” she whines emptily and cynically. This whole thing is just such an excruciating exercise in bad faith, in which ole Meg asserts ad nauseum that she, like all American women and daughters everywhere, has boobs, so if y’all aren’t ready to deal with that then you should get ready, alright?

WARHOLBOOBGATE

Jake Tapper Employs Secret War Code To Save Meghan McCain

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

The anonymous Internet users of Twitter all responded with a rare “sexual” tone, in their anonymous comments, to the art photo Meghan McCain posted last night of two monstrous boobs reading an Andy Warhol biography together. Meghan was terrified! Had these folks already forgotten the tenets of the Lanny Davis Civility Pledge they were required to take a few weeks ago? At least the ABC News White House correspondent hadn’t. MORE »


THREATS

The Concept Of “Meghan McCain” Reaches Its Natural And Necessary Conclusion

Thursday, October 15th, 2009


Well! Now you have gone and done it! Meghan McCain is so furious about the lack of positive attention she received upon posting a photo of her boobs wearing a tank top that she is THISCLOSE to committing the unthinkable: not posting photos of herself online. Ha, no no, just kidding, obviously not that. …she is THISCLOSE to committing the unthinkable: leaving Twitter. MORE »


ONE MORE FOR "ACCOMPLISHMENTS"

The NRCC’s Hilarious Twitter Was CENSORED, Because What Is This, Nazi Germany?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Yesterday the National Republican Congressional Committee thought that the most productive thing to do that afternoon would be to compare Nancy Pelosi to Hitler, on Twitter. A savvy web intern found some video of Adolf Hitler planning to kill Jews, only he’s speaking in German (!), so what would be great would be if we could just throw up some subtitles that suggest that the kind of genocide Hitler thinks is even cooler is the kind when Barack Obama just FOR NO REASON decides to shut down America’s hospitals. Which by the way are in Berlin, according to the Democrat/Nazi’s map. In any event, like nearly everything else that happens on Twitter, it was later forcibly removed. [CNN Political Ticker]
