PATH TO VICTORY: So the Republicans are keeping chain-smoking grandstanding loser John Boehner as their House leader, hooray! And they’ve put some far-right wingnuts in the lesser positions. Things are looking up, if you are not Republican! [CQ Politics]

Soon Sarah Palin will hold every position in the Republican party. The GOP is reconsidering their position on human clones.

All BONER no TRUCKNUTZ.

erymanthian bore November 19, 2008 at 2:02 pm

Dayum, I had my money on Zach Wamp for one of the lesser positions.

The Church of Realism November 19, 2008 at 2:04 pm

Oh Republicans, is there nothing you can’t totally screw up to become even more socially and politically irrelevant?

Don’t look now, but KPark is about to get burned at the stake, whoops, too Christian? FRC will out her as dating Baal.

I wonder what postion the Senate Republicans will give toThe Virgin Lieberman?

Doglessliberal November 19, 2008 at 2:05 pm

I always wonder if Boener will get lung or skin cancer first. It is a race to malignancy.

Eric “Nancy hurt my feelings WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” Cantor is the minority whip. no offense to teh gheys but he looks like he takes it in teh ass. and i mean that in the most horrendous,painful, anal flesh rending way possible.

Gopherit November 19, 2008 at 2:08 pm

[re=181141]Doglessliberal[/re]: Lieberman is a catcher. He has to be.

AngryBlakGuy November 19, 2008 at 2:09 pm

…I guess Joe Lieberman wasn’t available?!

Gorillionaire November 19, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Boehner does the worst fake sobbing of anyone that has ever been in congress. I mean, damn, even a freshman method actor can drum up some memories of a long lost dead puppy or something to get the real tears flowing, but Boehner actually thinks that his little bouts of forced anguish are really convincing.

Anonymous Office Zombie November 19, 2008 at 2:11 pm

Interesting picture. Dare I ask why Boner’s face is so flushed and what exactly the grey haired dude standing directly to his rear is doing?

monty November 19, 2008 at 2:11 pm

and Thaddeus McCotter sucks cocks and not in the good way either, or so i heard

HuskyMescan November 19, 2008 at 2:12 pm

I hope they buy more Congressional mops. they’re gonna need it for boner’s crybaby tears.

Theodorick Of York November 19, 2008 at 2:14 pm

Nice pic…eyes rollin’ back, looks like he’s hittin’ a high c, and what’s ole Denny boy doin’ behind him there? Oh…I get it…

“We have an unprecedented opportunity ahead of us. We’ve been given a chance to break with the mistakes of the past and redefine ourselves as the party of reform,”

You mean “we screwed up for eight years and the voters handed our asses to us so we better think of something fast if we want to retain any relevence at all.”

DangerousLiberal November 19, 2008 at 2:22 pm

Looks like a big bag of dicks, served up by a total dick, is on the lunch menu for the repug caucus today.

nmmagayar November 19, 2008 at 2:22 pm

[re=181165]freakishlystrong[/re]: What about “I’m tired” from Blazing Saddles?

obfuscator November 19, 2008 at 2:25 pm

[re=181152]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]: That would be former speaker Dennis “Denny” Hastert. He looks like a cross between David Letterman & the Incredible Hulk and a corrupt fatass politician.

norbizness November 19, 2008 at 2:27 pm

Let me guess; Sergeant boner teared up when the announcement was made.

obfuscator November 19, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Man, does that guy a lot or what? Amirite?

I tells you, that is the leakiest boner I’ve ever seen.

I’m glad they’ve decided that the only cure for having taken political cyanide is a hemlock chaser.

I should move to DC and hold a big party for these guys. If you bring the coke, I’ll give you first pick of who you want to bang. But, I’ll have to find that razor dick thing from that movie, you know, Seven (as in 7 deadly sins I think)

Mustang November 19, 2008 at 2:41 pm

“From the Northeast to the Deep South, there is a distrust of big government that will only intensify in the months ahead,” Boehner said.

And the rest of the country, which is most of it, trusts big government? What?

problemwithcaring November 19, 2008 at 2:46 pm

In basically 60 days, the entire state of Ohio will be laid off, homeless and filing for welfare. Why the hell is John Boehner still going around harping-harping-harping about Big Government this and Big government that?

These GOP guys are like mind-fucks wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a bag of dicks.

Fivetree November 19, 2008 at 2:54 pm

He looks so SAD all the time. His wittle bitty caucus keeps shriveling up, getting limper and smaller every two years or so.

Hooray For Anything November 19, 2008 at 3:06 pm

[re=181199]Mustang[/re]: Considering the Northeast keeps voting for Democrats, I think they’re fine with Big Government. As is the West Coast and the Rust Belt and now swaths of the Midwest. I think the only one’s claiming that they’re not are all those places that get the largest percentage of government money, like the South.

The GOP need some extra lovin’ in these trying times.

Wonkette comment competition is fierce. You got to be quick on the draw… which can also have it’s drawbacks. My posts often come off as semi-retarded, because editing wastes precious time

[re=181177]obfuscator[/re]:
Agreed. It’s like the Hulk after he’s past his prime and lost the joy for smashing things.

TeddyS November 19, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Another Republican with a collar so tight it cuts off blood to the brain. Party of Re-form. They swiped that from Pappy O’Daniel’s opponent in O Brother, Where Art Thou.

Carrie_Okie November 19, 2008 at 3:20 pm

Bone Smoker!

bitchincamaro November 19, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Capturing a Repub leadership spot is to “winning”, as eating shit is to “dining”.

Tra November 19, 2008 at 3:28 pm

But after you’ve helped your party lose four billion seats, there’s nowhere to go but up! Right?

It’s Republican logic; you have to think like you’ve been sitting in front of a slot machine for the past three days and you’ve also just gone off all your meds.

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 3:43 pm

[re=181152]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]: That’s either Sandy Claws or Dennis “page-by-page” Hastert.

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Who gets to be hall monitor?

Lionel Hutz Esq. November 19, 2008 at 3:45 pm

The good news is that the Republicans’ numbers are low enough now that they can caucus in the Men’s Room, where they are at their most comfortable.

— “It brings tears to my eyes to consider the repeated genetic testing that her [Anna Nicole's] lifeless body has had to endure,” stated Boehner, “to say nothing of watching a poor innocent infant bandied about for a week like a multi-million dollar football. This is not what the culture of life is all about. This is Terri Schiavo all over again, and it’s all because we were blocked by the liberal Democrats from getting it right the first time.” —
The horror.

I think things are going to be OK as long as a tradition is established wherein House and Senate leadership goes over to the White House each week for a session where Barry bitchslaps them and doles out some tough motherfuckin’ luv.

slinkimalinki November 19, 2008 at 8:47 pm

wot, no “republicans keep boner” line? that’s not respecting internet traditions.
