FAREWELL, GOP! “Good-bye and get lost,” the wingnut chorus screeches, “you lousy fancy-talking money-having educated elitist conservatives who read your liberal gay Kenyan books and talk in your communist-terrorist special polysyllabic words!” [Political Machine]

“para-dij-um”
What came out of Ronnie’s mouth when some speechwriter had the audacity to include the word “paradigm”.
Monkey see…well..you know the rest.
Ronnie imitating a god damned moose. The irony is killing me inside.
I don’t want to ruffle any feathers here, but, well, I guess I’m starting to feel like Wonkette is in the tank for Obama and not the fair, unbiased, bipartisan, objective news outlet paragon of journalistic integrity I’d always thought it was. Sorry, but that’s how I feel.
Oh God, please let the Republicans splinter into tiny furious parts, much like the Baptist church, or the post-WWII German military, or anything else that was forced into being broken up and which is furious.
Take it from a Canadian. A while back, our Conservative party (equivalent to America’s Gay Nader Fans for Peace – natch, Stewart) splintered into the Reform party (social conservatives, wingnuts, dingbats, Albertans, comedy fodder) and the Progressive Conservatives (fiscal conservatives, harmless dorks in grey suits who hate taxes) and the resulting split and highly-publicized in-fighting led the Liberal party to stay in power for, like, 12 fuckin’ years! Then the Reforms and PC’s merged back into a big old united Conservative Party and surprise, they’ve handily won the last 2 fucking elections.
From your lips to God’s ears.
The Republican Party will shatter like Nancy Reagan’s hip. And then Cindy will sneak in and steal Nancy’s pills.
“polysyllabic”? There’s not a wingnut in or out of Creation could pronounce more than half that word.
Ken, you like to kick them while they are down which is a trait I admire.
From GOP to GOOP.
Haha, oh Ken Layne, don’t you know that Barry is actually the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR EVER, if not actually the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR POSSIBLE?
Hopey is not a centrist he is a terror-loving extremist.
You know when all is said and done and the RW fundies end up excommunicating all of the moderates from the GOP, the DLC/Blue Dogs are going to bring them in and their influence is going to invariably give us a shitty Bush/Clinton hybrid Democratic president down the line.
“Nobby don’t kick them will their down.” Cpt. Vimes
“Safest way sir.” Nobby
I love plugging Terry Prachette.
[re=151969]the doctor[/re]: They’re running out of hyperbole here. The next time a Democratic senator runs, they’ll have to tar him or her as the MOST LIBERAL POSSIBLE because MOST LIBERAL SENATOR EVER is a step up from MOST LIBERAL CURRENT SENATOR. However, they might want to economize and make the next step the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR IN THE PAST AND IN THE FUTURE. Then move on to POSSIBLE.
Just trying to help out here, I am…
Who could have imagined that a lowly, trailer-trash GILF could single handedly bring down the party of Hoover and Nixon?
Sarah’s defending women’s rights!

[re=151980]rambone[/re]: You make a good point. As it turns out, Palin would have been less damaging to his campaign if McCain had been caught fucking her, rather than naming her to the ticket.
Too many big words in that article for me to follow. All I know is that the democrat congress just voted to take all my tax dollars and buy some big banks, like they are socialists or something!
None of the first three AOL comments are insane ALL CAPS rants about the Muslim Bill Ayers. What’s wrong with the AOL? This is frightening.
every keeps saying obama’s going to win as if we stopped using electronic voting machines. mccain will win after getting 45,000,000 votes in every state. that’s a mandate!
[re=151980]rambone[/re]: There was a French Poodle named Leon
Who was looking for something to pee on;
With judgement unfailin’
He picked Sarah Palin
Whom all of us can agree on.
Polly-syl … Hehnnnngh!
[re=151951]mattbolt[/re]: Ha HA! Fucking Canadians! Hope American conservatives are this stupid.
[re=151969]the doctor[/re]: Eh, I could live with that. I don’t think the word liberal is going to mean what the Repubs changed it to in 1988 anymore. Here’s what my favorite gay, communist, elitist dictionary website says it means:
lib⋅er⋅al
/ˈlɪbərəl, ˈlɪbrəl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [lib-er-uhl, lib-ruhl]
1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
2. (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.
3. of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism.
4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
5. favoring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.
6. of or pertaining to representational forms of government rather than aristocracies and monarchies.
7. free from prejudice or bigotry; tolerant: a liberal attitude toward foreigners.
8. open-minded or tolerant, esp. free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.
9. characterized by generosity and willingness to give in large amounts: a liberal donor.
10. given freely or abundantly; generous: a liberal donation.
[re=151985]jagorev[/re]: No kidding, this is a little scary.
I also had a lot of typos and collapsed sentences in the first posted version of this column, and nobody complained about that, either.
So, I guess Ron Paul and Jim Newell are right, about everything.
[re=151998]Ken Layne[/re]: My guess is that the wingnuts are still flummoxed by the Drudge headline. Once they figure that one out, they’ll rally the troops and recommence they’re anti-Muslin diatribes in earnest.
[re=152004]rambone[/re]: they’re=their (stupid alcohol!)
[re=152006]rambone[/re]: (stupid alcohol!)
Don’t ever say that, not even as a joke.
Apart from labeling Obama as ‘centrist’ (actually, who knows what he is … so long as he‘s not a member of the Clintonian neo-Republican DLC, don‘t care), scorching, burning, disco-inferno. Spot on. Thanks.
Hm. I thought that the term “wingnut” comprised “cretins, bitters, poors and racists” and thereby functioned as a handy catch-all. Enlightened by this right wing taxonomy lesson, I have a new understanding of my coworkers. Thank you, Wonkette, for being servicey.
[re=151993]Lascauxcaveman[/re]:
11. Crushing Alan Greenspan into poverty.
But I say that in a good way.
[re=151993]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Look, if you’re going to use definitions, you have to either use Webster’s 1971 dictionary, or dictionary.com, and if you use dictionary.com you have to format it badly. It has to be really obvious that you are being highly selective in which definitions you are using.
Seriously though. I will never forgive them for making liberal a dirty word.
[re=152007]Ken Layne[/re]: That, on Nixon and the southern initiative, made my heart bleed from within.
That is all. I want to say more, but I FEAR my consumption of fermented beverages. Never die, Pope Cat. Never, ever die.
Regarding that picture: Back at ya, old man. You were slicker about it than Nixon or Bush Jr., but you were still a evil racist fraud.
Just as a goodnight, good people of Wonketteland:

Goodnight, now.
Commie-nazi combined terror specialist polysyllabicite.
[re=151946]HuskyMescan[/re]: Win.
[re=151983]tednugentslover[/re]: There is still over a week left, my friend.
In one of those fevered dreams that comes only in the darkest moments of the night, I have seen the future. It has become hazy with consciousness, but I still clearly remember the image of Sarah Palin, holding herself up on the radio mast of the tallest building in Juneau, holding forth the bloodied, severed head of Mitt Romney, screaming into the gale, “There can be only one!”
[re=151985]jagorev[/re]: Apparently Ken posted after sun down, so all the good wingnuts were off feeding. As of Dawn, they have started posting in earnest.
[re=152004]rambone[/re]: Yeah, I’m wondering how many of Drudge’s passionate readers are suffering a mind freeze because of that. Sean Hannity probably considers the headline a sign of the coming of the beast.
ken, you voted for mkane?!?!? henghhh!
from one of the AOL commenters:
“John McCain cannot win unless he last minute removes Sarah Palin from
the ticket and adds a replacement, Palin and simple.”
I’m not sure what John McCain needs to seal the deal on this thing is a simpler Sarah Palin.
[re=151951]mattbolt[/re]:
What do you mean handily? I’d say if Fatty McGoo won parliamentary majorities then you have a point unless they changed the definition minority = majority.
Let’em talk about Palin 2012. She won’t be around then. The stupid twat thinks that the people she threw under the bus WON’t pay her back. Boy is she going to find out the politics of revenge. If she were the coalition building leader the dumbshit goobers though she was then Troopergate would have been swept under the rug but even the Alaskan Repubs wanted to stick a shiv in her. She isn’t and those folks are looking for her blood. The last two years of her governorship will be a constant legal battle. Her political comeuppance is just beginning.
I hear Sarah Palin has been pal’n around with known felons!
[re=152055]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I can see it too. Mitt’s head still has his plastic grin and not a hair is out of place.
Excellent article, but one point I sincerely disagree with. Obama is not a centrist. He is probably not the most liberal senator, but he has very liberal positions in almost every issue. That’s why people (and I) supported him over Hillary in the first place. And if you read his books or read about his early life, you’ll find that he’s even more liberal than he seems on the campaign trail. This guy was an intellectual, a professor, after all. McCain’s “socialism” attack is dumb, but there’s a little bit of truth in it.
[re=151998]Ken Layne[/re]: You really seem to have a way of stirring up the wingnutz over at AOL. I predict a barrage of face melting all caps tirades.
[re=152066]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Part of me hopes that the Palin phenomena expires over the next two years, but I agree with Ken. I don’t think the Repubs have had a more divisive personality in years and her raw, ruthless ambition is probably her defining feature, (next to winking idiotically and being a dumb ass). Even if she does get embroiled in legal troubles over the next two years, she will simply say that she’s been targeted by the establishment because they fear her.
I wonder if this is actually gonna happen.
I hope it does, because it will be fucking hilarious.
C’mon republicans aren’t so bad i think everybody should own at least 2 or 3. Teddy im lookin at you buddy.
It warms my heart to watch what’s left of the GOP, fling poo and cover their asses at the same time. That’s takes talent, people.
Let’s face it: God is a hater. And right now, he really, really hates GOPers.
Come to think of it, I really hate ‘em, too. Makes me feel even God-like.
Ride ‘em Cowboy. Round up the Mavericks and get them heifers branded.
Ken, always sharp. I, for one, plan to party like it’s 1989.
OMG – November 5 is only a week away! The best time of my life will be over, forever! I’ll have to live in the past. SAVE ALL THIS STUFF!!!
[re=152028]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: You made me late to work with that link. But thanks.
“torii5:06AMOct 28th 2008
I HOPE FLORIDIANS GOT A GOOD GANDER OF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN BLACKLISTING THE REPORTER AND RADIO STATION FOR A QUESTION THEY DIDN’T LIKE. –SOUND FAMILIAR? SUPPRESSION OF THE FREE PRESS IS ONE OF THE 1ST FREEDOMS THAT DISAPPEAR.
THIS REPORTER HAD INTERVIEWED MCCAIN–WONDER WHY OBAMA HAS FAILED TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR MONTHS? HE SENDS IN BIDEN–ALTHOUGH BIDEN IS MORE EXPERIENCED, HE CAN’T HIDE BEHIND BIDEN FOREVER. CLINTON & BIDEN HAVE BOTH COMMENTED ON OBAMA’S LACK OF EXPERIENCE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PRIMARIES.”
I can only assume that “torii” is the plural of “torus”, of which one of the dictionary definitions is “a smooth rounded anatomical protuberance (as a bony ridge on the skull)”, thus confirming once and for all that AOL commenters are indeed neanderthals…
[re=151993]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: [re=152021]the doctor[/re]: i think that the way the GOPers use the word liberal is a whole ‘nother context. (i.e. sunscreen apply liberally to the exposed area, or pie, remove from freezer thaw apply whip cream liberally) So im guessing here, but it seems to me like the GOPers are saying barry muslin hussein will take a liberal amount of my paycheck and liberally spread my wealth to the muslin poors. He will let a liberal amount of terr’ist into the country to reek a liberal amount of havoc and liberally rape and pillage our white wimmins and daughters. Dont forget the liberal amount of abortions that will be performed by said terr’ist. Remmeber that barry muslin hussein is the most liberal person to EVER run for president and nancy pelosi and harry reid are the most liberal people to EVER be in congress EVER. So barry, harry, and nancy are going to liberally spread the liberalism to the liberals. Just typing that makes me feel dirty , i need to sanitize my hands just like when i shake hands with the common folk.
The article basically says the party is going to split into the Republican Party and TEH REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!1! USA!!!!!
Is that a backwards “M” on Ken’s face???
Funniest line is this one: “What should emerge from this wreckage is a major conservative party that acknowledges the idiocy of acquiescing to dumb mobs, a liberal party that realizes its future lies with inspiring centrists like Obama and not fringe-identity politics, and a lot of tiny angry splinter groups filled with nuts dedicated to one extremist cause or another.” Hilarious to think some people still believe politics are going to just go on as normal while the US implodes.
Best line ever on Republicans from a Wonkette commenter whose name I forget: “Republicans, like abortions, should be safe, rare, and legal.”
Not a single person I know really wants the republicans to fail. Wallow in self pitty, cry because they feel cheated, put out new scarey stories…sure, but go away completely? What would we do all day?
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
[re=152228]masterdebater[/re]: Well, my friends, there’s still the Naderites and Paultards, as well as ourselves, so I say let the Republican go extinct. Unfortunately, they are much too cockroach-like to ever fail completely.
[re=152058]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I like this one:
“Wonkette Sucks with Ken Layne 12:38AM Oct 28th 2008
How insightful.
Ken Layne is such a depressing loser. ”
well, Moran, if Layne is depressing you, stop reading, maybe? The person is clearly a closeted, self-hating Democrat who is compelled to read your stuff, but despises himself for it. So very sad.
Ken’s right. I always say “No one ever called Bob Dole the antichrist”. If the Republicans want to come back and act like a responsible conservative party of elder statesmen, who wouldn’t mind having them around?
I mean, I had to watch my rock-ribbed Republican dad–an accountant, for god’s sakes–trying to defend the way Junior Bush spent this nation into a deficit. It hurt me on a Freudian level. After more than 40 years of fruitloopism beginning with Nixon and his hellspawn, it’s about time the Republicans rebooted.
Ugh, the “moderate” “centrist” label has my stomach turning. I think I’ve seen enough of what “moderate” “centrist” Democrats do during these past two years, where the Democrats in the Capitol had their noses further up Bush’s ass than the past three Republican-dominated Congresses.
If Obama is one of these “centrists,” I’m gonna throw my vote away on Brian Moore.
What the fuck’s Ronny doing? what, he think it’s a fucking circus, magic show or a Refuckthepoor presidency……. oh wait, it’s a voodoo economic show.
