World’s worst Wigger posse or Travis Bickle family reunion?

The Tea Party vibe is so creepy, not even Norman Rockwell could make this shit look wholesome. TV exposure is not their friend.

A lot of blogs are posting this CBS news video of an angry teabagger yelling into the door of Rep. Gerry Connolly’s office today (before it’s shut in his face):

I’m pretty certain that this is our ol’ pal Tito the Builder. I’m not a voice specialist, but the man in the video sounds just like Tito, who is also a Colombian immigrant.  In addition, the man from today’s video is wearing a wedding band that looks just the one Tito can be seen wearing in this video. I’m not 100% sure since Tito always wore sunglasses and I can’t find any evidence of him boasting about being arrested four times in his former country, but I’d put down a pretty sizable sum on a bet if anyone wants to take me up on it…

UPDATE: It’s gotta be Tito.  Gerry Connolly represents VA’s 11th district and he has an office (listed at the bottom of this page) in Woodbridge, the home of Deborn Construction, Inc., the company Tito owns.

From yard-sign-to-yard-sign, yesterday’s anti-HCR protest in Strongsville, OH lasted slightly longer than it takes to microwave a breakfast burrito.

PS: Nice editorial bookending by the videographer. As the Bush/Cheney sign drifts into frame, you can almost hear Charles Foster Kane whisper “Turdblossom.”

In a brazen, grisly assault, former George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove brutally attacked the concept of self-awareness during an ABC television broadcast.

As viewers and the production crew watched in horror, Rove seized self-awareness by the neck, sank his razor-sharp fangs into its carotid artery, sucked out its core meaning and then dropped its lifeless body on the studio floor:

Appearing on ABC’s “Top Line,” Rove attacked the Obama administration over a series of alleged foreign policy missteps arising, he said, from insufficient “groundwork.”

“We saw it in Honduras,” Rove said. “Where, rather than monitoring the situation, [the Obama administration] let a cowboy president try to act in an extra-constitutional way to violate a fundamental principle in the Constitution, all without having done their homework in advance.”

A stunned nation was left to ponder these three words: What. The. Fuck.

The clock is ticking.

Hard to believe this is how it’s all going to end.

I’d just like to say that it’s been a privilege to co-blog with my fellow ‘Roasters, and I will be thinking of you all tonight as I share a few last, small intimacies with close friends, empty the freezer, cancel my trash pick-up and await the Inevitable. 

UPDATE: FALSE ALARM. Even though the clock is still posted, Breitbart admitted on March 2 that he was merely joking around. But then, why was my second link not working? And why are all the stars winking out? 

MORNING UPDATE: Yay! Radical Liberalism yet lives.

To GQ.

And then loses it over the fact that GQ actually published the trashy pics  that she posed for.

Oh, and along the way managed to get her claws into Elizabeth Edwards every opportunity she got.  MEEEOWW!!

So when will Rielle’s Tell-All book be coming out?  Because I really want to not read it.

The creator of the infamous “Willie Horton” TV ad returns with a shocking “gotcha” spot that links Nevada Senator Harry Reid with construction equipment, kick-ass architecture and some totally unrelated allegations of human-trafficking by the Ruler of Dubai.

Sure, Harry saved a major Las Vegas re-development project and a shitload of tax-paying, local-spending union jobs, BUT ZOMIGOD HIS FACE IS IN THE SAME AD WITH A SCARY-LOOKING ARAB AND SOME REALLY FUCKED-UP ARABIC-WANNABE DISPLAY TYPE! OH, AND DID I MENTION THE SLAVES???????

I’d like to think it doesn’t get much lower than this, but it’s still early—and there’s a whole bunch of airtime to fill between now and November.

Wow, Alan Grayson (D-Orlando, FL) didn’t take kindly to Sarah Palin’s unflattering comments about him during a recent appearance in Central Florida. Palin was in town to bolster support for Grayson’s opponents. Here’s how Grayson described it:

Palin, the former half-term Governor, current-nothing and future-even-less, charmed the all-Republican audience with her folksy folksiness and her homespun homespunnery. Atypically, Palin was wearing clothes that she had paid for herself. At the end of the event, she shared her recipe for mooseface pie.

In response to Palin’s attack on Rep Grayson, Grayson actually complimented Palin. Grayson praised Palin for having a hand large enough to fit Grayson’s entire name on it. He thanked Palin for alleviating the growing shortage of platitudes in Central Florida. Grayson added that Palin deserved credit for getting through the entire hour-long program without quitting. Grayson also said that Palin really had mastered Palin’s imitation of Tina Fey imitating Palin. Grayson observed that Palin is the most-intelligent leader that the Republican Party has produced since George W. Bush.

Oh snap! He also described the Frozen Cheesecake Goddess as a “chillbilly” and said, “I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them.”

At the end of the post on Grayson’s website, there’s a button labeled “Tell Alan What You Think.” I think I want to have his Baby Graysons.

Extra sucky Ray Stevens, not-even-close-to-famous for his awful, awful 70’s novelty hit “The Streak,” is back again to prove why wingnuts will never, ever be capable of taking over the music industry.  In his latest jag rag for teabaggin’ jerkoffs, Stevens pays homage to Sarah Palin, but according to Ray’s publicist Elroy, who is obviously editing Steven’s Wikipedia page, the satire is sooooo skillfully crafted that anti-Palin people might be fooled:

This music video is about Sarah Palin and it takes the derogatory phrase caribou barbie and twists it around as a compliment. The video uses a Palin impersonator and through the help of sight-gags it takes aim at several high profile newscasters on cable television. The video also parodies Sarah Palin’s image and it’s possible that those who do not like Palin will perhaps misinterpret the song’s meaning as an attack on the former Alaskan Governor instead of hearing it as a pro-Palin message, which it is.

Watch this at your own peril. Stevens has plans for you, Obot.

Everyone’s posting Lady Gaga’s new “Telephone” music video because you get to see her nearly nekkid in it and watch her make out with Steve Buscemi while she’s wearing lit-cigarette sunglasses, but this version of the song, while not great, is much better and the young lady from Pomplamoose would never get nekkid or wear lit-cigarette sunglasses (but I think she might make out with Steve Buscemi)...

Cincinnati hate-radio host Bill Cunningham—the tongue that licks the toilet seat of Rush Limbaugh’s Port-O-Pee—just declared on his national Sunday night Drudge-replacement broadcast that the one and only true, perfect shoo-in Conservative candidate for President in 2012 is Sean Hannity. 

No media yet, since the show is live. However, you may remember Bill as the human slime John McCain rebuked for humping the “Hussein” Obama slur at a McQueeg primary rally in 2008.

In the immortal words of Was/Not Was, “Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks.” These loons don’t know anymore which side of the donut hole to screw.

Hint: Giant Robot is the Democrats, Emperor Guillotine is the Republicans…and 2010 is whichever one returns from outer space intact.

I have no idea what I clicked to get here, but now I can’t contain my excitement at the prospect of looking this professional and empowered, for only a penny-per-month more than the cost of a Glenn Beck-style Survival Seed Garden.

Plus, who could fail to be ensnared by compelling, hypnotic ad copy like this?:

A professional website design establishes you as a serious contender, and catches the eye of your supporters (and, likely, your opponents). More importantly, it gives you credibility. You know you are running a professional campaign, but the world needs to know it too.

Yes, by God, I AM serious…and the world MUST know who I am! Where do I sign…and does this deal include that Tweetie thing?
