Morning PW
Suggest that you make “Thing” in the title plural.

If Bachmann can replace Harris then I am sure there are other nuts ready to replace Bachmann as queen of the nutters.

Heh! True, that.

Indeed, as nutty as both ladies are, the late Helen Chenoweth probably left them in the dust in terms of irrationality.

Even Al Franken cannot balance out Michele Bachmann.

In her picture, why is the flag on the Capitol at half staff? Maybe it’s a permanent thing with her…

I remember her. She was a whacko. She didn’t attract attention like Bachmann manages to do. Of course there are some male Gop’ers like Darrell Issa the Second that can give them a run for their money.

You mean Darrell the Car Thief? The guy who tried to buy himself the California governor’s chair by shelling out a few million to finance the Gray Davis recall petition, only to be ordered to step aside by the national party in favor of Ahhhnuld? Watching Issa cry over that was the one consolation in that whole mess for me.

This nutter convention has 600 attendees and they paid $550 each to be there. That is only $330,000. Pay a $100,000 to Palin, maybe another $100,000 to the convention center, that doesn’t leave much. I hear they are forming a new non-profit to support whackos.

How many folks showed up at Netroots Nation last year?

Who was the young congressfool from california who was getting his ass kicked on tv arguing with Massa about DADT repeal? I thought it was Iss*hole the younger?

By the way, here’s a run-down of the race in the Sixth as it currently stands. This is from October, but not much has materially changed besides Tarryl Clark’s getting Tink’s endorsement last week.

Those 600 can’t be all that bad off. $550 to attend plus whatever else they spend in these 3 days. Maybe over a grand a head? Wish I had a grand to throw away.

That would be Duncan Hunter.

Remember that this is a for-profit convention so the bozos running it will suck out $’s for themselves. But the attendees are getting little plastic megaphones, t-shirts, carrybags and other shit that must be worth at least $35.

Thanks! They all seem alike.

They do, don’t they?

they should sell out of these Tshirts.

Mail one to Harry Reid.

Probably on food and alcohol; I can’t see them buying souvenirs for their grandkids. And they’ll have to pay for the damages to the hotel rooms, too. (Some of the most respectable-sounding groups are the ones that do the most damage. The weirder-sounding ones tend to be full of polite, neat (and noisy) well-behaved people.)

Yeah, I didn’t hear anything about all those dfh’s trashing anything at any of the NN conventions.

It is a dry convention.

Did Boeing start putting ads on the intertoobz after Sen Shellface starting his pissin’ contest over the Airbus/Boeing tanker deal?

The local watering holes will prolly do a good business. *g*

And the local red light district too!

Why yes, yes they did.

Speaker, ANA PUIG-“Correlations between the current Administration and Marxist Dictators of Latin America” 9:00-10:00am

Damn, I missed it. Wonder if they’ll have a vid out later. *snort* LOL

Hey Pups: What did I miss? I take it that it’s being suggesting Michele Bachmann might be slightly unbalanced? Can this possibly be true?

Did anyone see Joseph Farah’s speech at the Nashville soiree? Dispatches from Wingnuttia, lemme tell ya. Some good comedy at 6PST tonight, when Grifter in Chief Palin addresses the crowd. Set your DVR’s to C-SPAN and get your popcorn.

As for investing advice? Watch for a runup in the price of tinfoil hats.

I noticed it to the right of the comments. Thanks Boeing, we can use the dust. Guess I’ll click on it a few more times. Fuck you, Sen Shellface.

The official schedule says Sarah at 8. Film at 11. Is it true that Sarah is going to be the star in the remake of “Debbie Does Dallas?”

Pretty sure that’s right, although they might rename it to “Debbie Does Nashville.”

“Callous, heartless, bigoted and delusional folk,” sounds like the Phoenix woman to me….And, A Daily Kos poll, there’s a document you can take to the bank!

John Prine’s FL home is a few blocks from me. If he’s in Nashville he just might pen a new tune around this.

Let’s have a discussion of the ideas in the post without the namecalling, please.

Name calling? We are using the Phoenix woman’s words here….Mr Egregious?

Delusional, callous, insane, bigoted, heartless and batshit crazy…I think you have nailed her down, along with many other wingnutter Teabaggin’ fascist warmongering Republicans. I think I left somethin’ out.

I think they all had to pay another $300 or something like to that to personally worship at the Queen of Babble-On’s speech (aka the First Dooood did my job for me).

So these folks, if they attend Bible Spice’s word salad, will be spending way more than a grand to attend this thing.

I love how this poorly attended “convention” (which many Tea Partiers refused to attend because they see it for the rip off that it is) is getting so much attention in the so-called “liberal media,” when the “liberal media” says nada about Netroots Nation. But: color me unsurprised.

The ONLY thing good about Ahhhhhnold winning the incredible-waste-of-taxpayer-dollars-ginned-up-governor’s-race was that giant sucking spooge Darrell Issa LOST!! Yeah: I had a good laugh about Issa’s waste of his own money on his vanity project. GAH

That idiocy was perpetrated on sheep-like Caleeefornians who got mad because Democratic Gov Gray Davis (aptly named) was being a fiscal conservative. The state was out of money, and legislatively he had the right to raise back up the annual car reg. fees. If that had been done at that time, CA wouldn’t be in as much of giant sucking financial mess that it is.

The auto reg fees were mainly protested by self-asorbed Republics, who wanted (back then) to buy giant gas guzzling SUVs new every other year, but of course, didn’t want to pay the higher auto reg. fees (which really wouldn’t have been that big of a ding for any one person). Look, if ya don’t want to pay a high auto reg. fee then: a) don’t buy a super expensive car, or b) don’t buy a new car every other year (the fees decrease the older the car gets), or c) both of the above.

Because of Issa, CA WASTED a ton of money on a ginned-up election, and Ahhhnold has done no better than Grey Davis in managing the State. And in fact, I will NEVER EVER forgive Ahhhhnold for selling ME out personally (and all others in CA) for not pursuing the Enron energy rip-offs, which personally benefited Pres W & Ken Lay’s family & friends.

Can you tell that I’m still steamed about all of that???? What a waste and what a festival of Republic stupidity and fiscal irresponsibility (as usual). BAH!!!!!!

You left out: stupid, venal, corrupt, mendacious (all words that this idiot would have to look up in a dictionary and then still wouldn’t understand).

Some Tea Partiers have some reasonable complaints, but my biggest issue with them is: where the EFF were they during the 8 years of W, who increased the gov’t and spent money like a drunken sailor? At least I will constructively criticize Dems & Republics equally. I have no patience for right wingers who ONLY criticize Dems. Spare me the ersatz outrage; that’s just b.s.

Hey, Rahm…you’re late for the presidents cabinet meeting.

My oh my, are we not a little fussy this morning? I detect a “sinking” feeling! Some hot tea may help!

This may be deemed a news;i.e., one of thousands. OK, the buck stops here: the piece is gossip!
Blaming individuals or dwelling on their shortcomings lead away from an elucidation; thus, prevalence of gossip or dwelling on issues that are of no import or barely interesting-educational.

Dwelling on system of US rule; how and why it functions is avoided like a plague by ?all msm collumnists. Only a study of structures: be it a cancerous, mafioso, biker, or governmental cell can bring us an enlightenment.
These cells can be seen with naked eye, requiring no schoolings; however, ab 98% of americans have been convinced that it can only be understood via words and in the manner they use them, judiciary, and schooling.tnx

Might I suggest that some resourceful, creative progressives develop some ads for Michelle’s district suggesting that “true believers” not send in their census forms per her paranoid suggestion. Maybe then, she can be gerrymandered out of her congressional district so we won’t have to listen to her insane rantings any more. Just a thought…

Please refrain from speaking to the motivations and character of other commenters:

are we not a little fussy this morning?

is out of bounds.

And for the record, it’s Ms Egregious.

Egregious, Ms Conduct

The best part of Issa getting pushed out of the Gov’s race after spending all that money was him crying about it on television afterwards. Almost, but not quite, made me like the Governator.

But as for Bachmann, I like having her around for the same reasons I like having Sarah Palin in the public eye – they’re both so obviously ignorant, so malicious, and so looney that they reflects badly on the GOP for most of the country. Both have entertainment value, too, as their constant presence in the press demonstrates. In fact, I’d love to see a Palin/Bachmann GOP ticket in 2012.

Yes, Issa’s tears made it *almost* worthwhile that Ahhhnold won. Issa is just your average garden-variety SoCal Republic of the Top Gun Duke Cunningham variety… both mendacious criminals that are beloved by their smug self-absorbed entitled Republic base (I have many Republic friends in SoCal, so I know whereat I speak). Still fries me, though, that I had to pay for that jerk’s (in this case, Issa) vanity project. UGH.

As for Bachmann & Palin… hmmm, not as enthused as you are (although I get your point). My fundie family is so in love with the Queen of Babble-On that my stomach just churns & turns. I hope that you’re correct in your thinking that they “reflect badly on the GOP.” I would like to think so, myself, but I’m not convinced. Sadly, it seems to me that most in the GOP are reveling in their venal grifting stupidity. Would love to be wrong about that.

I would still love to see a Palin/Bachmann ticket in 2012. Even if elected they would never be sworn in if you believe their 12/21/2010 armageddon thingy right? lmao

oh wait… I was off by 2 years, the end of the world isn’t until 2012! sorry. lol

The Governator showed up after priming his political pump in a dog and pony show with Ken Lay. The path he would follow was easy to predict.

Sorry, Ms Egrigious. Hey those SouthernDragon, and i4utbi, folks must really T you off!….I would recommentd you read “RealClearPolitics” on line since editorials from both sides are covered. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your opinions.

A-yep. Because Shelby’s trying to give their contract to a French firm, Airbus.

One item in the gift-bags was a “matching white” fanny-pack…if worn it would likely be lost in the great folds of white flesh.

Anyone every find out what happened to the brother that took the rap in this effort to extort insurance money. Does Issa’s brother now work for him or was he directed to the firm of a big contributor? I’d like to know what he got in return for “confessing” about stealing the keys, and why Darrell never reported that occurring.And why Issa waited days to report the vehicle missing to police.

Issa likes to claim that he created his car alarm to “prevent the same thing happening to others”…but that’s just another lie…since his alarm (which gives off more false alarms keeping people up at night) would never have stopped what his brother claimed he did.

Darrell Issa? Richard Ayers, Reverand Wright, Tony Resko, the Czars that have resigned, Charlie Rangle, Guitner tax problems, Chris Dodd and Country wide, the Nebraska bribes, the Louisana Purchase, the Florida buy back, Union Cadillac insurance payoff, Pelosi and her million dollar relative fly in’s, Rahm “Dead Fish” Emmanuel “Retard” an his “off the wall brother,” Harry Reid and his “light skin” brother comments, Joe Biden and “clean” black fellow comments and the hit’s just keep on coming…and your’re commenting on Darrell Issa. You must think the American people are stupid!
