Bill Clinton Mocks GOP Women Candidates, Tea Party Movement

“Of course, they’ve got the wrestling federation lady up in Connecticut and the witchcraft lady in Delaware [cheers] and I tell you, so far they’ve gathered up about everybody for this Tea Party but the Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland.”
— Bill Clinton, campaigning Sunday in Portland, Maine, for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Libby Mitchell

You can respond to this in one of two ways: Either you bitch and moan that Bill Clinton is being mean-spirited, unfair and sexist, or else you get off your sofa, get involved, and help these candidates stomp the crap out of Democrats on Nov. 2.

LINDA McMAHON for U.S. SENATE

CHRISTINE O’DONNELL for U.S. SENATE

PAUL LEPAGE for MAINE GOVERNOR

UPDATE: By the way, I spoke today with Christine O’Donnell’s campaign manager Matt Moran, and also spoke to Libertarian Republican blogger Eric Dondero, who is in Delaware to help out with the O’Donnell campaign. Both of them were encouraged about the solid grassroots effort on the ground there. Meanwhile, Democrats are bringing in their big guns for tax-raising bald-headed pro-masturbation Senate candidate Chris Coons:

DNC Chairman, Tim Kaine, is at the University of Delaware today stumping for U.S. Senate candidate Chris Coons. Like Coons, Kaine came under fire for promising not to raise taxes as Governor and then broke his promise within his first few weeks in office.
Christine O’Donnell, Coons’ Senate opponent said, “Birds of a feather flock together. These two tax and spenders have broken promises to the voters who elected them. Their tax and spend policies are still killing jobs even today.”
“My opponent, serving as the New Castle County Executive, also raised taxes – three times, even though he made a campaign pledge in 2004 not to do so.”
O’Donnell continued, “Will Coons and Kaine apologize to the college students for destroying their future with crushing debt? It is the youth that will have to pay tomorrow for today’s reckless spending. Will these promise-breakers apologize to these young people for the jobs that aren’t there as they try to start their careers?”

Nap-Time Tales of Net Neutrality

I am on record as declaring “Net Neutrality” as The Most Boring Policy Debate in History. However, it appears that Warner Todd Huston was able to score a large enough supply of pure methamphetamine to keep him awake while he sorted through all the recent Net Neutrality news, including this scary headline:

Draft of Waxman’s net-neutrality
legislation leaked amid talks

Oh, great. So now the intense soporific effect caused by having to think about Net Neutrality — it’s a struggle not to nod off before I finish typing this sentence — is combined with the horrific mental image of Henry Waxman.

CHUCK WILKERSON for U.S. CONGRESS

Awesome! Ace of Spades Gets in Touch With His Inner Social Conservative

Admittedly, a social conservative famous for slinging f-bombs and sodomy jokes, but a social conservative nonetheless:

This was just evil for evil’s sake. She wanted to be even more famous than she is (and she is already quite a bit more famous than her present, but very limited, talents would recommend), and she decided to grab at that on the backs of tweener girls, already immersed in a culture that tells them virgins are weird and having sex is what the cool, popular kids do, with almost no pushback against this message at all. . . .

Read the whole thing. Ace is talking about Katy Perry’s latest sexed-up hit song and even manages to throw in some cleverly relevant references to Christine the Teenage Witch (Who Doesn’t Like Wankers).

Michele Bachmann Endorses Joe Miller

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican)


This blog hopes that by 2014 Minnesota has found a suitable replacement for Michele Bachman, so that she can do her Nancy Sinatra impression using Al Franken as a mat.
Wouldn’t that be the campaign ad of justice? Michele in boots working out to Nancy, standing on a life size photo of Franken? Maybe just walking toward it would be in better taste. . .

Scapegoating Progressive Bloggers for the Obama Administration’s Failures?

Just when you think Democrats could not possibly become more absurd, they surprise you:

With each passing day, I’m beginning to realize that the crux of the problem for Obama is a handful of prominent progressive bloggers, among them Glenn Greenwald, John Aravosis, Digby, Marcy Wheeler and Jane Hamsher.

That’s from liberal New Media guru Peter Dauo, who evidently doesn’t realize how ridiculous that sentence looks to sane people.

Here we have a president who promised that his election would mark “the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless . . . the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Not exactly modest in his promises, was he?

What he delivered instead is record levels of deficit spending and unemployment that seems to be permanently stuck near 10 percent.

Yet despite the myriad failures of the Obama administration, Peter Dauo insists, “the crux of the problem . . . is a handful of prominent progressive bloggers.”

On behalf of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, I would like to offer this message of comfort and solidarity to Glenn Greenwald, John Aravosis, Digby, Marcy Wheeler and Jane Hamsher . . . Continue reading Scapegoating Progressive Bloggers for the Obama Administration’s Failures? →

Alan Grayson Is Not Scum

Allan Grayson is the disease-causing bacteria which infect the parasitical worms found in putrid diarrhetic feces oozing from the rectums of scavengers that prey upon maggots which grow in the decaying carcasses of poisonous vipers that die after eating insects which consume tainted scum.

(This has been a public service announcement from Floridians Against the Defamation of Scum.)

DANIEL WEBSTER
for U.S. CONGRESS

UPDATE: Michael Moynihan asks, “Is Alan Grayson the most loathsome member of Congress?” Is that even a question?

Investigating how this anti-social creep got to Congress, I discovered that a Republican who had pledged to serve only four terms in office broke that promise and ran again in 2008, barely won the GOP primary, and subsequently lost to Grayson.

Which is to say that, like Charlie Crist, we can blame Grayson on the Republican Party of Florida. Also, this is the 8th District, which includes Disney World, where some people earn a living being Goofy.
