So nine martyr-combatants stormed and briefly occupied the office of Joe Lieberman this morning. After chanting about health care—”Everyone in and no one out, universal health care now!” and “Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!”—they were dragged away and arrested. MEANWHILE: We have not yet heard from Editor Jim Newell this morning! [TPM]

Newell’s sneaking through the air ducts as we speak, dressed as a ginger ninja.

SayItWithWookies November 5, 2009 at 11:54 am

If anyone sees a ginger being dragged off while yelling that he’s too pretty for jail, please let Juli know. So she can order lunch, since she’ll be here all day.

Jim has planted surveillance devices in Lieberschmuck’s office and is now headed to Michele “Bats*** Crazy” Bachman’s office.

JMP November 5, 2009 at 11:56 am

Can’t the protesters come up with slogans that are at least a bit clever? Oh wait, they’re from Code Pink; they can’t. Lieberman vs. Code Pink is truly a battle of the douchebags.

Jim89048 November 5, 2009 at 11:56 am

Did they wait to see the whites of his eyes? Because I think he’s so full of shit that they aren’t white anymore.

NOT teabaggery I can believe in.

Prommie November 5, 2009 at 11:58 am

They gonna arrest the 3,000 strong batshit pigfuckers who are about to “storm” the Capitol and hold a sit-in in Pelosi’s office?

Someone could get shot today.

What a bunch of morans.

Scarab November 5, 2009 at 11:59 am

There HAS got to be a smarter way to convince people of your point of view than group chanting.
Interpretive dance, socks puppets, anything.

Monsieur Grumpe November 5, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Not Newell! Noooooooooooo!
Sniff.
So who’s going to replace him?

The Joementum from this game-changing event will sweep the nation.

Yay, our own teabaggers! And by yay, I mean fuck.

SmutBoffin November 5, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Wonkett is down to its last editor? Fuck. Don’t worry, Juli, just link to some live feed of Teabaggers at the capitol and declare an open thread. Fun for all!

hunter.blatherer November 5, 2009 at 12:03 pm

I think they misread Michelle Bachmann’s talking points? Isn’t she the one leading the barbarians through Congress?

JMP November 5, 2009 at 12:03 pm

Please, Mr. Newell, please take a big steaming dump on Lieberman’s desk.

Fine, fine. I’ll let Jim put his clothes back on and leave.

I dunno. It’s doesn’t have a good beat, and you can’t dance to it.

Maybe he’s busy fucking Mizz Wonkette??

Scarab November 5, 2009 at 12:20 pm

This is fun and all but when are we going to talk about Carrie Prejean’s newly uncovered sex video? I got all kind of stuff ready.

Does this mean that Mizz Wonkette will be Live Blogging Bachmann-polooza?

Toomush Infermashun November 5, 2009 at 12:20 pm

Since Joe’s just been shoppin’ for the highest bidder, what do you think it would cost us just to get him to leave office…?

the problem child November 5, 2009 at 12:22 pm

It’s the Guy Fawkes Congressional riots!~
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot!
A stick or a stake for Pelosi’s sake
Will you please to give us a faggot
If you can’t give us one, we’ll take two;
The better for us and the worse for you!

“The Senator is unavailable.”

“Shit. We’ve been practicing this douche bag chant all morning. Fuck it! We’re going for it! On three…”

Nappied Hypotenuse November 5, 2009 at 12:30 pm

First they came for SKS, and I said nothing because I was distracted by the edible baby.
Then they came for Ken Layne, and I said nothing because I was jealous of his book deal.
Then they came for Jim Newell, and I said nothing because “ginger ninja” is hilarious.
I might say something when they come for Juli.

[re=451035]freakishlystrong[/re]: It would be hilarious to see, Jebus walking up to a buncha ‘wingers and asking “What’s all this kerfuffle about ‘traditional marriage’ and ‘socialism’ and ‘Demoncraps’?” Then he would be clobbered by a Tyvek sign reading “GET YOU’RE HANDS OFF MY GOVERMENT BENFITS!”

All this commotion is going to upset the senator. He might have to lay down and take a nap, after counting his money again.

Terry November 5, 2009 at 12:40 pm

In Vinegar Joe’s defense, Connecticut really is only a whole bunch of insurance companies then bedroom communities for folks commuting elsewhere to work.

So tell me more about the sex video…

house of the blue lights November 5, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Forget Jim. (Kicks struggling, bound editor stashed under desk.) By now Baby K is well past the “touch typing” module of Baby Einstein and ready to report for duty.

NixonNow November 5, 2009 at 12:49 pm

droopy the vinegar joe should do “sexting” with other olds and not be such a self-hating democrat.

Is it too soon to start a “safe Jim Newel from the teabagers” facebook group?

I don’t get why these Teabaggy people are all up in arms about health care. These are the same people who believe that the world is going to end in 2012 and since this won’t be phased in until 2013, why do they care? I don’t think angels are covered under the house bill.

Decker November 5, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Hope they watched where they stepped in Lieberman’s office. Imagine the trail he leaves -

Decker November 5, 2009 at 2:23 pm

I was trying to visually capture the famous… “It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.”

It looks more like the alien stools than their unholy rat-child, but you get the idea.

Witsendnj November 5, 2009 at 2:30 pm

Isn’t it time for a Lieberman blingee contest??

slowrunner November 5, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Yeah I have to admit that lieberman is my senator. I just emailed him to tell him what an idiot he is, I will probably get arrested next.
