Attention Republicans! YOU ARE NOT CRAZY ENOUGH

Mrs. Loony bolts in
O'Donnell, who is pro-gun, anti-abortion, fiscally conservative and believes masturbation is a sin, won by 53 per cent
Looking at a landslide of Crazzee. You betcha

Have you no sense of humour (sic), it's a wag, you know, like taking dead babies names and applying for a passport with it, a wag!
Quote of the day from Wodnee...
Asked why the matter had not been disclosed earlier Mr Hide said it was "always difficult because you don't know how much whether every person who stands for office should stand up and tell of everything bad that they've done in their life or acts that they regret".

See, we are ruled by people who know stuff, special stuff, OK?

And there's no need to worry our heads about it

Frankly the acts of the last 2 days by our leaders(tm) leaves no room for worry at all.../incoming winged pig formation/...indeed there is so much of very serious concern going down that the best reaction may well be...oh I dunno, pencils up the nose, underpants on head?
Special powerz = pollie crack?

How is it that you know (or care) about Republican primaries, in New Zealand? I do not know the names of any of your political parties (although, if pressed, I might guess "Whigs," or something, maybe?) (note: I am joking) (or am I?).

It's the indefensible criminal wars that get people interested in US politics, isn't it? Which is such a shame, really, because most American politicians are nearly as maleficent when it comes to domestic policy, too.

And then there is Christine O'Donnell, who is entertaining even for a Republican. It seems unlikely that she will be elected, because she is right on that Forrest Gump line, and we usually like our high-profile malefactors to be smart enough to make us feel better about ourselves for absolutely no reason.

Also, I love this blog. It is very funny.

Thanks Emma, my interest in the American primaries as just because the US is the biggest power in the world who speaks English and who might affect me and the tea party group are pretty scary.
I don't think that politicians over here are worth listening to or taking note of, for you. If they start affecting you then it will be the end times.
"Right on the Forrest Gump line" is a good phrase.

Personally you underestimate the power of the Council Of Elrond in nz and world politics, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaBhQHvqxoQ you wait, Gandalf speaks pollie babble as the clip shows.

Should be entertaining.

They are entertaining enough for NZers but explaining the joke in each case is like dissecting a frog, except at least you get to eat the frog afterwards. I mean, Merc's comment at #1 refers to the recent news that the Justice spokesman for the ACT Party has just been discovered to have prior convictions for (a) assault and (b) passport fraud. The hilarity comes from knowing that ACT (a tiny party, with a disproportionate amount of power in parliament due to propping up a minority govt.) are big on things like Lora Norder and Tougher Sentences and Locking Up Repeat Offenders.

Policies like these are not really part of ACT's core message (i.e. less tax for wealthy people & companies, and letting companies make money liberated from pesky things like regulation and democracy), but people turn out not to vote much for that central platform so they hunt around in an opportunistic way for other more populist policies to help prop it up.

According to Garrett (the Justice spokesman in question), the conviction for assault doesn't count because he was in Tonga at the time, and the Tongan legal system is corrupt, and he didn't mean to plead guilty, and he's been trying to reverse the verdict ever since. Also when he was younger he was a oil-rig worker. This hardly seems relevant to the time of the conviction when he was a lawyer (i.e. part of that corrupt Tongan legal system, and source of that silly advice to himself to plead guilty) -- but both Garrett and his party leader are going on a lot about their shared pasts in the oil industry, so it must be a hard-working blue-collar honesty thing.

Also, youthful indiscretions, which should not be allowed to blight a person's later career unless that person is poor or dark-skinned.

Explanations for the fraud conviction (using a dead baby's name to obtain a false passport) have yet to emerge.

Still not very funny so I'll go back to ranting about bicycles and trebuchets.

Dammit. Obtaining a passport in the name of a dead baby is unethical too? How the hell am I going to get a Mexican passport then? you have just made step one of the 77south retirement plan much more difficult.

Jennifer said...

Yes, the supposed party of small government will now be legislating masturbation.

Substance McGravitas said...

It should be fun getting her to describe exactly what she means by masturbation.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

It would be a terrible prank for everyone to start sending her masturbation aids. Especially humorless ones.

I Really really really hope nobody does that. Repeatedly.

Smut Clyde said...

She would sue you for mental anguish.

Cheeses.

That is a bizarre, foul, utterly sick conflation of functions. Every single wacko that ordered that should have a piano dropped oh-so-gently on his nutsack.

We'll all be safer for it.

Even the piano...

Jennifer said...

Oh nice. I should know better than to click the damn links. Now I've got lovely stuff showing up in my Amazon "what you recently looked at" list. I can't wait to see their future suggestions based on my browsing history...

nice...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Filthbot got Rule 34'ed!!!

I was gonna say 'dildo-rolled' but that would have been rude.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Smut, that is possible the most humorless dildo imaginable.

Please do not take that as a challenge to find a more humorless dildo. Really. I'm good.

Jennifer said...

dildo rolled sounds like it should be some form of sushi... perhaps involving a sea cucumber.

Smut Clyde said...

At least I went for the "pro-gun" part of her description. I left the "anti-abortion" aspect as an exercise for the reader.
