Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell were not elected.
Bye-bye, ladies. Perhaps you'll find seats on the Tea Party bus. Or, with Sarah Palin, you may consider grouping into the Republican Women Ex-Candidates Party. The name is only a suggestion. I'm sure you'll want to name yourselves.
Cable TV, here they come!
ReplyDeleteYes, Counterlight, I'm sure that offers for high-paid consultant jobs from Faux News will soon be on the table.
ReplyDeleteI so wanted Ms. O'Donnell to win. We could finally determine if it is possible for embarrassment to kill. Watching her in the Senate would top most TV comedy!

Something along the lines of Republican Ex-Candidates would be good because the acronym would be REC, not that these ladies got to REC quite as much of the US as they would no doubt have liked to.
ReplyDeleteThose two (plus "Sister Sarah", as K Olbermann calls her) make me ashamed of my second X chromosome...
ReplyDelete[But then Nancy Pelosi made me proud of it! But Thank God we don't have a sexism problem in the USA, do we? OK, to be a winking, rifle-toting WingNutBabe for the male gaze. Not so good, to be strong woman of actual thought.]
And David Vitter won, big time!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least we now know Christine is not a witch. Her magic charms did not work to get her elected.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jim in GA, Vitter won big. Woe is us here in Louisiana. Sometimes I wonder if you're not Vitter himself popping up in my comments. All y'all Republicans sound alike.
That, Mimi, is because they all have to share one brain.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the old liberal condescension game with sharp arrogance added. Same junk, different stanza. . .one reason Dems lost big in the South. Keep it up. You guys are just soooo smart and sophisticated. LOL
ReplyDeleteMark, are you sure that's not an overestimation? ...
ReplyDelete"Ah yes, the old liberal condescension game with sharp arrogance added."
ReplyDeleteAs if the right are paragons of civility! Ha!
Glenn Beck uses more Nazi props than the History Channel. I've got a few Photoshops of Obama-as-Hiter, Obama-as-Stalin, and Obama-as-witchdoctor complete with a bone through his nose that I found on tea-bagger sites that I'd be happy to share (but of course, they're not racists!).
Perhaps you could commend the folks who spat at Congressman John Lewis for their courtesy and consideration.
Mark and Cathy, thank you. At least we manage a few laughs through our tears, as opposed to the humorless firebrands in the GOP.
ReplyDeleteCounterlight, brilliant! And thank you.
I get bored quickly with the back and forth with Jim in GA. Same old same old. LOL-not!
I just get so mad when us Dirty Hippies are expected to always mind our manners, while right-wingers can do and say any shit they want and no one ever calls them on it.
ReplyDeleteGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Counterlight, I call them boring and worse sometimes.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a liberal to spell that big ol' word for you, Jimmy-lad?
ReplyDeleteYou know . . . "old?"
And, just so you know, we all lost big here in the South, thanks to morons like you. Fortunately, you'll pay with the rest of us, and we can laugh at your pain.
I'll explain the words "moron" and, of course, "big" and "pay," if you need me to.
I don't know about Glen Beck. I leave that up to brainy types like you guys. Instead, try George Will's column in today's WP.
ReplyDeleteJim! How can you not know about Glenn Beck? He's all over the place shouting about the coming Armageddon.
ReplyDeleteI don't read his books or watch his program. I really don't envy the experience of all of you who seem to know so much about him and have exposed yourselves to him. There are so many more worthwhile authors (e.g., Roger Scruton, Robert Nozick, F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Michael Novak, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, etc.).
ReplyDeleteJim, I've read some of the columnists you mention in the editorial pages of the local papers, but I don't care for any of them. I once liked to read George Will as the intelligent opposition, but no more. Perhaps he's past his prime.
