Oh ho ho, a secret human, unearthed? We have found the Third Goldberg: Lucianne, Jonah, and now Joshua — who is running for New York City Council representing the Upper West Side! As a Republican, of course, so… yeah. Just a complete waste of time, this campaign.

What do we KNOW about Joshua Goldberg? Most glaringly: unlike his brother Jonah, Joshua is not fat. Joshua also has not written fine leatherbound historical masterpieces arguing that the American Democratic Party is literally Hitler. Joshua has failed his family.

He is an actual hobo.

Goldberg, whose candidacy was endorsed by the New York County Republican Party screening committee, has worked as a tour guide, and has also been a fishmonger and worked in the media.

He has been unemployed for a full 42 years, is the takeaway. You must watch his video. This is something that you must do.

So Weird Al Yankovic is this one’s father? Christ, what an unappealing family.

well the repubs had to run somebody.

Godless Liberal September 4, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Why the fuck is he purple? I will not vote for a purple man.

That’s almost as bad as being a fishwife. Fishwife. Yeah, Fishwife.

A ginger with a porn ‘stache … nothing says “future indicted state senator” like that look.

Dave J. September 4, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Jesus, if someone said to me “Imagine Jonah Goldberg,” first I would vomit. But then if they said “now imagine that he is thin and has red hair and a kind of icky mustache,” I would probably imagine exactly this guy.

user-of-owls September 4, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Pointed out buildings to gaggles of camera-bedecked Asians? Check.
Disemboweled marine life? Check.
Has tree growing out of left shoulder? Check.

This simply has to be performance art.

Ick, he looks vaguely like Joe the Ginger…

ManchuCandidate September 4, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Jonah’s the successful one?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

This might explain why mama Goldberg is such a bitch. I’m betting she seethes inside when she gets asked the inevitable question:

“So, what do your children do?”

Hart88 September 4, 2009 at 12:26 pm

I’ll assume that “worked in the media” refers to producing kiddie porn.

germansteel September 4, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Jonah, Joshua and, what, Jehosephat?

Rumproast September 4, 2009 at 12:26 pm

If the video doesn’t have a strong “laughing” lead in an hour or so (pull down, top right), I’m becoming a communist.

Jim is a ginger. This human gefilte fish is not a natural color.

c-sick September 4, 2009 at 12:30 pm

i kept adjusting the color and contrast on my screen, but nothing works, he’s literally purple WTF?

Downtheroadapiece September 4, 2009 at 12:30 pm

Is he having a stroke? Medic!

Neoyorquino September 4, 2009 at 12:31 pm

I watched the video until the “swoop and drop” looping map graphic in the background made me hurl. Yeah, I’m sure that’s what did it.

Cape Clod September 4, 2009 at 12:31 pm

[re=402789]Red Zeppelin[/re]: No kidding. Before anybody votes for him, let’s make sure he isn’t hiding a kidnapped 16 year old blonde in a shed in his backyard.

SayItWithWookies September 4, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Who the hell goes to their stylist and says, “Make me look like an ex-security guard who has little boys’ bodies stuffed in the crawl space under his house?” Oh — Jonah Goldberg’s brother.

George Oscar Bluth September 4, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Talk about transparency in government! I can see the blood beneath this fishmonger’s skin. I have a feeling that in direct sunlight (if he didn’t spark like a fork in the microwave) I would be able to see straight through this chap.

Holy shit is that ginger boring. And what the fuck is up with his clothes? You want my vote try putting on a coat and tie you fucking slob ginger Goldberg fuck.

Way Cool Larry September 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm

“Strong new branches are growing”??? Doesn’t he mean aren’t growing?

Hell’s kitchen is on the edge of a fiscal precipice?

What is with his skin tone?

What are those three dots on his neck and chest?

Why do I feel like I’ve been put in a hypnotic trance after watching that?

How is it he can afford to live in Manhattan as a fish whatever, and I have to live in New Jersey.

NO FAIR

Colloidal silver is sometimes used to treat gonorrhea and yeast infections.

Katydid September 4, 2009 at 12:47 pm

Jonah says he’s agin “extravagant benefits” for city workers such as “unfunded pensions and medical insurance….and numerous holidays and generous overtime.”

Yeah, what he said. Why doesn’t NYC just have the FDNY and the NYPD pay the city for the privilege of defending numerous freedoms from now on?

9/11? Just a distant memory for 42-year-old Jonah.

Tommmcatt September 4, 2009 at 12:49 pm

A fish-monger? Seriously?

Too precious for words.

I’ve been watching ironic mock-shitty commercials for so long that real shitty-commercials like this now seem to me like they’re third-rate shittier knock-offs of ironic mock-shitty commercials.

Post-modernism is freaking weird.

He sounds so media saavy, I’m expecting a personal complaint to Wonkette real soon which will be just as quickly posted for that we can tear him to shreds some more.

Didn’t I see this guy running in and out of peep shows in Times Square in the early 80s?

Looks like a pedo-Dad, but still the better looking of Lucianne’s spawn.

Don’t forget NYC is one of fun spots for the Gayz. I could offer suggestions on where to go, but I’m guessing this guy has a closeted pair of black leather straps and/or gimp outfit and is much more up-to-date than me.

This fishmonger, he has nipples in his v-neck. Or maybe zits, or a rash. He looks like he gets a lot of rashes. He looks like he runs Lucianne’s newsletter from the part of her house where the sun doesn’t shine.
