If you’re thinking of voting Republican because you’re pissed at Obama, remember the words of Stephen Colbert in the voting booth.
We are not thinking of voting Republican, but it would be nice if rich white men could stop chastising us for being disappointed in the fairly terrible presidency of Obama. Yup, better than a Republican. But that’s a pretty low bar we’re asking our presidents to clear, isn’t it?
If Michele and Marcus Bachmann did not exist, and you were to write them and their adventures as fiction- as a spec pilot, say, or a series of sketches in your weekly ”How ‘Bout Those Headlines” show at WackyTeamz or whatever- the one note you would consistently get would be: “Lose the doggy sunglasses bit. It’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?” Your mother would tell you this. “Dude’s closeted. Message received. A real person never behave this way. Dial it back.”
But they are real, and they did behave this way- live, in front of millions of people- and it made Ben and me laugh so hard we frightened our own dog.
God bless America.
This GOP primary is being directed by Christopher Guest, right?
— Of course, that’s why so many artists are Republicans. Seriously, to briefly quote David Mamet: Fuck you.
Leni Riefenstahl did this pro bono. The voiceover guy insisted on being paid.
— What Harry Reid said to Jim “Mad” Bunnin’ actually applies to basically everyone who voted for these stupid wars. I don’t recall the specific person who said it, but a commentator on the New Yorker Political Scene podcast noted that those who demand that health care and unemployment pay for themselves (you know, things that keep people alive) so rarely demand that our military be budget-neutral. Great job, Kentucky!
Hey everyone, welcome to a new feature I decided to invent this week. It’s called The Most Politically Despicable 24 Moment of the Week. I am doing this to find a way to justify that I have watched every season of 24 to date. So here we go.
In this clip, Jack Bauer (namesake of every child I will ever have) assures a former FBI (CIA?) agent that her decision to cut a dude’s thumb off basically two minutes after trying to talk to him is understandable, considering the stress she’s under. It would be insane, of course, if it weren’t close to what people actually said. So if there’s a lull at work, you can say “Guess what the most politically despicable 24 moment of the week was!” without having to actually watch it.
The House Republicans are consulting with Oliver North, yes THAT Oliver North, the criminal one, on the issue of — surprise — Afghanistan! Other plans include consulting Michael Malkin on the economy, Sean Penn on press relations, and bin Laden on diplomacy. Keep on rocking, Republican Party. There must be a criminal somewhere you haven’t floated as a campaign adviser.
Tracie nails it so I don’t have to.
