Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 9 December 2011 20:57 (twelve years ago) link

like an MMA-type ring?

against sarah palin, maybe?

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link

Okay imagining Bobby Jindal covering G'n'R's "Get in the Ring" has me deeply entertained.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link

like an MMA-type ring?

I dunno what this is, but if it's like a WWF ring then yes

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

lol. hope palin's entrance music is that black-sabbath song that bevis and butthead always rock-out to.

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link

Jindal seems like the type who would go crazy and bite an ear off a motherfucker

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link

bah. palin would make jindal tap 10 straight times.

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link

Perhaps the elephant in the room is that the GOP is intellectually bankrupt and that they have been selling snake oil to their constituents for so long that they (the constituents) want looniness, hence the weakness of the slate.

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link

Also, we need to pray really hard that Perry remains in this race as long as is possible.

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link

interestingly, it didn't have to be this way. they didn't have to retreat to bankrupt neo-hooverism. in the 2008 campaign, mccain actually rolled-out housing relief policies that were to the left of obama, in many ways (essentially i think he proposed gov't money directly to troubled homeowners, but i can't recall for sure). and in the battle over the stimulus bill, the GOP could have offered its own stimulus proposal, prioritizing its preferred goals. instead, it went another way.

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link

why? He's not even funny anymore.

xpost

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

Neither the GOP or McCain had any intention of following a Hooverist path; they were desperate! Anything, anything that stucks!

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

and sticks too

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, perry's a downer at this point. and he's holding back our newt.

so are those other bastards, too (bachmann santorum overdrive).

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

Anything, anything that stucks!

new GOP slogan.

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:14 (twelve years ago) link

why? He's not even funny anymore.

Because he's actually depressing their base across the board

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:26 (twelve years ago) link

Perry is a non-factor and will likely drop out soon.

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:27 (twelve years ago) link

good. more votes for newt!

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

This is a weird one:

Who put it out? I don't see any campaign-affiliated ID towards the end. A preemptive attack ad against attack ads--creative. If it helps box in Mitt, I love it.

You know what'd be extra great? Romney doesn't win, decides to stick it to the party that hates him so much by running as an independent. (No, I'm not serious. If he were to lose and manage not to burn too many bridges, he'd cash in somehow.)

clemenza, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link

you know what'd be extra great? romney wins the gop nomination, and donald trump decides to stick it to the nominee that he hates so much by running as an independent

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 21:51 (twelve years ago) link

you know what would be best? if romney wins the gop nomination and palin, trump, cain, santorum, perry and gingrich all decide individually to run as independents creating half a dozen religious/political sects demanding that their personal messiah/politician lead our country to salvation

Mordy, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link

and then the bear comes in

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link

I was hoping Dan meant a big, hairy gay dude

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link

that's kinda what John Bolton is...?

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link

Andrew Sullivan can't legally run for President, though

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link

Man, Fozzie for Presinedt does have a ring to it, though

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link

Muppet Sec of State?

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 22:03 (twelve years ago) link

man does no one else remember that SNL skit, for real? ;_;

Eurythmics were the musical guests!

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link

god they probably played "Don't Ask Me Why."

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link

Beating up on foreigner's accents/speech patterns is best left to the intimacy of your own grow room.

Protip: 'beat' sounds exactly like cock in French

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

Newt comin with the red meat

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 9 December 2011 23:42 (twelve years ago) link

Can someone please kidnap Newt until at least Florida has voted? It can only help.

clemenza, Friday, 9 December 2011 23:46 (twelve years ago) link

That is sub-par cretinism coming from 'Professor' Gingrich. Are Austrians an invented ppl? It's typical Likudnik BS designed to legitimize kicking out the Arabs from Israel altogether and it ignores the nuance of regional identity in favor of a brand of pan-Arabism that even Arabs haven't really had any faith in for over thirty years. The man is a pandering ditz with dangerous delusions of adequacy.

M. White, Friday, 9 December 2011 23:56 (twelve years ago) link

Ezra Klein's reasoning is too reasonable to apply to this year's Republican base. He says, fundamentally, that Gingrich is an unstable clown. So? Cain recently was polling above 25%, when no other Republican candidate was polling that high. That sort of discounts the "he's an unstable clown" argument down to size.

Hope you're right--Ezra Klein as Frank Grimes:

This mussolini guy is a clown, he's going nowhere

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 December 2011 02:51 (twelve years ago) link

Same with that Charlie Chaplin look-alike, Adolf Wotzisname.
