South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, (former) Tea Party fave, is trying her best to distract us from the sad and dull obviousness of her 2012 endorsement of Mitt Romney with a new Marie Claire interview just ahead of the release of her book, Can’t Is Not An Option (which really looked like Cain Is Not [...]
The night after finishing fifth place in Iowa, ahead of now-quitter Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, one of the most subdued dudes (subdudes!) ever, was up running around a lake in serious winter running gear, his hair as unkempt and fluffy as a lamb’s. He tweeted something about training for a marathon? And it included this [...]
Michele Bachmann finished in, what, negative 86th place in the Iowa caucuses last night? That it is Pretty Bad, but come on, let’s not panic here. This is also just a lousy fact, and since when have facts ever gotten in the way of Michele’s plans for world domination? WHAT IS THIS? Republican presidential hopeful [...]
Wasn’t this whole “conservatives don’t get that Stephen Colbert is a teevee satirist” sort of a 2009 thing? OH WAIT, we are talking about South Carolina, so maybe we have to factor in some kind of years-long time delay? The state’s Republican party is hard up for cash to hold their primary, so they agreed [...]
Adults have never had much luck talking so much as a faint glimmer of sense into Michele Bachmann, so maybe someone smarter but a little closer to her own intellectual ilk can finally reach her? Eight-year-old Elijah came with his mom to an Occupy Myrtle Beach gathering at one of Bachmann’s book signings to let [...]
Are there a handful of fringe weirdos out there who still support Michele Bachmann’s dwindling candidacy? Sure, apparently, good, now then: how would those couple of folks like to be in charge of her state campaigns? It’s true! In search of a new South Carolina campaign chair, Bachmann dipped into the state’s bountiful bucket of [...]
Actually, we think the funny part of is that the Occupy Charleston protesters appear to outnumber the attendees at this Michele Bachmann speech. Oh and don’t worry, random outbursts of screaming are so normal at these teabagger events that the police were too confused or indifferent to bother arresting anyone. [YouTube]
Our most critical free speech rights continue to hang in the balance today: “The highly anticipated jury trial for a woman ticketed for dangling Bulls Balls from the trailer hitch of her truck has been postponed, for a third time,” according to, yes, ABC News. AMERICA WEEPS BITTERLY, because justice is elusive. And yet it [...]
We get it: South Carolina Republicans are racist. Racist racism-loving slobs full of racism with more racism slathered on top, for racism. It’s assumed. But is it also a contest? Please oh please let it be a contest, because newly-elected teabagger Rep. Jeff Duncan wants to win it so bad. Here, he has a submission [...]
Democracy’s greatest champion in South Carolina, Republican strategist Wesley Donehue, was delighted to learn from a news story that a tough new anti-voting law has successfully stopped many, many black people from voting. The AP article is more than just informative, however — it “proves EXACTLY why we need Voter ID in SC.” How else [...]
South Carolina governor Nikki Haley — last seen demanding full cooperation from her miserable state employees’ souls with a demented Orwellian decree that they answer their office phones cheerfully or else — has very few actual ideas about how to improve the nosebleed-inducing altitude of the state’s unemployment rate, so she’s trying some role-play with [...]
South Carolina teabagger governor Nikki Haley has decided to remedy South Carolina’s myriad ways of sucking for people who live in South Carolina — it currently has the country’s fourth-highest unemployment rate and sports saturated Medicaid rolls (meaning everyone is poor) — like a champion middle manager with a mean collection of self-help books who [...]
Rick Perry is a devious teabagger barbie doll who would kidnap Jesus and sell him as a sex slave to the zombie corpse of Stalin if it would win him the White House, which is the only possible conclusion from watching this video of Rick Perry visiting South Carolina and tossing off a bitterly cynical [...]
SHEESH THIS INSANE WOMAN: Here is Michele Bachmann urinating all over the corpse of Elvis Presley by wishing him a happy birthday on the anniversary of his death. Haha, pill-head humor! Or maybe it is one of those creepy Christian things, where death = zombie rebirth. OR WE COULD SPEND ETERNITY trying like tortured humanities [...]
Here is what most people know about Indian American governor Nikki Haley: she is the only human on Earth rumored to ever have sex with a political blogger, and she is the only minority female human on Earth ever to be the unfortunate ruler of South Carolina. What is a lesser-known fact about Haley is [...]
