My excitable friend Jonathan Kaplan surfaces in the comments at Halfway to Concord, in a post entitled Tauscher to wed Bin Laden:
Tauscher’s PR Office says: on April 1st, 2009 9:01 am
Message:
Please call me, 202.225.1880.The item on Ellen Tauscher is offensive, unacceptable and libelous. Worse, it’s not even funny. Please remove it at once.

Kaplan called the blogger, Bill Gram-Reefer, who runs a small right wing political blog in Tauscher’s district. "If this had been written about a Republican there would be outrage!" he shrieked.
Dude. Check your calendar. Breathe.

Paging Cokie Roberts: “It’s out there now.”
Sounds like excellent advice for dealing with Gram-Reefer
But will it rip the Democrat Party apart?
How is it possible that a foxy and principled Congresswoman like Ellen has even managed to stay single for so long?
Hmmm…
Did this dude’s mother have any children that lived?
“My excitable friend Jonathan Kaplan…”
Have you ever seen him “rub a pot roast all over his chest?”
It isn’t funny. But I’ll defend to the death….. well, not quite that far. But it hasn’t been removed and good. (The goat thing could have been worth a smirk as a one line throwaway. But it got beaten like a dead horse.)
Yeah, chill pill for this kaplan guy.
Funny part is his is the only comment. Doh!
Post is funny as shit too. “…like a goat.”
Really. Did you get your MelGram in your e-mail box this morning?
Is she foxy? How are her biceps?
Doesn’t bin Laden already have the 4 wives he is allowed by Islam?
Haven’t looked. Guess I’ll hafta.
Galloway on DN! today is great. Dude’s got a set.
Beat edit! Shit, now I gotta read the damn thing.
Damn, beat edit again. Cool about the PUC. I can’t imagine why it took this long. Somebody misfiled an award recommendation would be my guess.
Oh come on… the response is right on, keeps the joke going.
Obviously, she was waiting for the right guy…and she finally found him.
Back to the cesspool.
Namaste
“The item on Ellen Tauscher is offensive, unacceptable and libelous. Worse, it’s not even funny. Please remove it at once.”
Obviously, Kaplan is mistaken. The post is not the least bit offensive, seems quite acceptable, and is (probably) not even marginally libelous. Further, it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
Take a deep breath, Jonathan. And get over to Target and Penney’s so you can beat the crowd…
Digg is now open
I don’t know … but I found it funny that she(or her PR flunkie anyway) got punk’d by a nutter website … since she feels such love for Republicans
And there’s a SALE AT PENNEY’S!
what’s even funnier is that apparently both conservatives and liberals dislike ellen tauscher.
Which nutter GOP Senator will raise this at Ellen’s confirmation hearing?
According to Wiki she used to be married to a rethug, so it’s not all that big a leap…
Gregg’s up
04/01/09: Republicans Win Big in NY-20!
LOL
I didn’t know Osama was a bankster too. Y’all know how Tauscher luv’s her some banksters of any persuasion.
Could be a match made in the Caymans.
does anybody ever think about the fact that the original “April Fools” were the Pagans who refused to adapt to the roman catholic calendar ???
when will the Pagan bashing end ???
and we got geico bashing the cave men in a commonly accepted ad campaign
some day the troglodytes and the Pagans will unite, and feast upon all you chisto-bashers and hate mongers
did ya know that Yuppie tastes just like chicken ???
they’re little greasier though …
(wink an a bow)
