This is an awful tax.American Solutions for Winning the Future is one of a handful of weird Newt Gingrich enterprises formulated to help him win back the presidency in 2012, by teaching us all to laugh again. Did you know that the exhumed skeleton of Liz Taylor’s ex-husband still serves proudly in the Senate?

And that “Congressman Dude” is how all these fellows preferred to be addressed these days, by Twitter? This is the actual sample text for the form email. Send it off right away, unaltered! Why mess with perfection? Thank you Virginia Energy Mole “Chris” for the tip. [American Solutions]

Dear Internet Bot:

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Sincerely, Congressman Dude.

I notice the only adults they have listed as staff are Gingrich and George Allen ( aka Mr.Makaka Man ), the rest are interns or barely graduated from college. Ok….so….no adults on the staff. So…like…the message TOTALLY makes sense, dude.

x111e7thst June 18, 2009 at 10:53 am

When click the linky I get FAIL. Has the boi named Newt taken down his entreaty to CongressManDude or am I just a total loser?

Newt ought to know that John Warner (R) is out and Mark Warner (D) is in.

WEAK!

Serolf Divad June 18, 2009 at 10:55 am

Hmmmm… where have I seen this e-mail before… oh, yeah, from my pothead cousin:


Dear Congressman Dude:

Marihuana should totally be legalized. If you taxed it there’d be no deficit!

Legalize it!

Mark June 18, 2009 at 10:56 am

John Warner (R) is gone. It’s Mark Warner (D) now.

ManchuCandidate June 18, 2009 at 10:56 am

Where the hell does Newty Toot get names like “American Solutions for Winning the Future”?

Sounds communist to me.

Bill & Ted’s excellent political adventure.

Did anyone notice it says “Asterick”?

“Asterick? It’s asterisk. Asterick is a variety of hemmroid.

Since you can’t vote in this State, f*ck off, dude.

I like Congressman Dude, he eliminated the regressive White Russian tax and mandated the use hands-free joint smoking devices in vehicles.

Veronica Corningstone June 18, 2009 at 11:02 am

[re=341844]WadISay[/re]: George Allen is also a variety of hemorrhoid.

The poor, poor interns.

Failed 2 Menace June 18, 2009 at 11:03 am

You know you’re swilling fondue with the intellectual elite when they direct you to fill out all the fields marked with an asterick.

binarian June 18, 2009 at 11:03 am

I signed the petition as Charles Ufarely.

norbizness June 18, 2009 at 11:03 am

I also look forward to the e-mail flash mob from Newt Gingrich’s other lobbying initiative, Americans United For Serving Cancer-Ridden Wives With Divorce Papers (AUSCWWDP, pronounced “asswipe”).

I thought Senator-elect Franken would end the need for amateur comedians in Washington. Let’s hope he gets there before 2012.

Extemporanus June 18, 2009 at 11:11 am

Wait, I’m confused. What does it mean if the field is marked with an (*)?

Also. Is an “asterick” sorta like a “Rick Roll” reverse?

Roll Fish June 18, 2009 at 11:12 am

H-hey, this is a private residence, man!

WestEdEd June 18, 2009 at 11:13 am

McDuff–

His sign off to out of staters is “Or I’ll bust a cap in your A$$”.

charlesdegoal June 18, 2009 at 11:14 am

Besides the astericks, they should have put one of those little crosses after John Warner’s name.

19kevin8 June 18, 2009 at 11:14 am

Every time I see the name Newt Gingrich somewhere, or when I see his jelly roll hate machine face on the teevee, the underside of my nuts get cold and I vomit in my mouth a little. It’s sort of the opposite of starbursts and leg tingles.

LittlePig June 18, 2009 at 11:15 am

[re=341844]WadISay[/re]: Asterick is a variety of hemmroid.

Well, then it and Newt have something in common.

arclight June 18, 2009 at 11:23 am

Awwww, the form won’t render in my browser. Think they’ve already ruined our fun? It reminds me of the 2004 election campaign when you could make your own slogan on the Bush-Cheney website. Oh, that was so much fun until they started filtering what it would accept!!!

Mr Blifil June 18, 2009 at 11:24 am

Whoever told them that politicians like to be referred to as “Congressman Dude” is not their friend…

Capitol Hillbilly June 18, 2009 at 11:36 am

[re=341844]WadISay[/re]: I thought “Gingrich” was a form of hemmorhoid

Not to get into that fag talk we were talking about, but this isn’t even really a “tax,” is it?

DustBowlBlues June 18, 2009 at 11:41 am

This country needs an energy tax desperately. All kinds energy. As someone who lives in a small town, if I were Czarina I’d slap a $5.00 a gallon tax on gasoline and make it cost effective for these asshats to buy locally.

Americans are all a bunch of Craig T. Nelsons. “I’ve been on food stamps and welfare and there was no one there to help me.”

We’re a bunch of freeloaders who want something for nothing, just like the Republicans these douchebags have been electing for years have promised. I’m all for northern European tax rates and services for all. And legalize the drugs, like The Netherlands. Also. Because I know that, as an official old person, being high on painkillers before noon is way cool.

Asterick.

Seriously? Seriously?

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 18, 2009 at 11:59 am

[re=341901]Capitol Hillbilly[/re]: No. This is all about Cap and Trade. I heard a radio spot from these same idiots yesterday, and they’re trying to paint Cap & Trade as an apocalyptic energy tax that will cause massive American job hemmorhage, make kids starve, and incite massive outbreaks of homobuttsex.

Boojum June 18, 2009 at 12:19 pm

[re=341840]binarian[/re]: T.R. Ucknutz has signed the petition.

Capitol Hillbilly June 18, 2009 at 12:23 pm

[re=341925]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Sadly, they will probably be successful, just like when they started calling the Rich Kid Inheritance Tax the “Death Tax.”

I guess that kind of verbal jousting is what passes for deep thinking nowadays.

Cape Clod June 18, 2009 at 12:27 pm

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone is paying any attention to such a massive case of fail as Newt Gingrich.

[re=341838]joshydo[/re]: The link to crazytown: http://www.americansolutions.com/

Besides Peabody Coal, American Solutions principal funders are old, fat cat, Repug contributors and, for some reason, a slew of real estate developers. Wha?

What has Newt’s panties riding up his substantial crack is the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade Bill (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009). Cap-and-trade is only one part. The bill includes hippy/socialist/tree-hugger crap like increased CAFÉ standards, energy energy conservation junk, blah, blah, blah. Look it up at Wiki, you fucking, twittering, gay-marriage peaceniks.

I’ve been emailing the entire Koran printed in all caps to my congressmen and to some other people in Congress, too. Now they know I am an enemy of all that is good and that I want to destroy the world.

I’m going to have to start sending the Koran to Virginia now, too. I’m doing my part.

[re=341925]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: And climate change is a scam by AL GORE and is a liberal religion where all the lefties worship at the alter of the Goricle. cap and trade is just like collecting money on sunday at church.

You think this is bad, you should see the form email he has set up for dumping his wife whenever he meets a new intern.
