Why Won’t He Go Away?

Is that his Mom or his wife behind him in the photo?

Each time Santorum (R-Shithole) re-appears, it makes all Pennsyltuckians thankful for the fairly reasonable Specter and the absolutely bland Casey we currently have.

OTH, Casey is for some stoopid reason considering a run for the governorship in 2010 or 2014.

Rick Santorum is such a useful idiot. I mean, he could say why he wanted to fail, but that would have, you know, pissed off people. Instead, he just said that Obama should fail four times in the space of fifteen seconds.

And thus: we don’t what Obama to fail because it will be good for the country. We just want him to fail because we don’t like him and his terrorist-loving, America hating allies. In the unions. And ACORN.

Wow. Politics (erm) FAIL.

@Dodgerblue: It’s his nurse. His wife is the one with the dolly.

@nabisco: Casey: like father, like son. I heard Tweety has decided not to run, and WTF is up with Lynn Swann? And Specter can kiss my black ass. I still haven’t forgiven him to being a douchtastic asshole to Anita Hill.

@Bloggie: I LOVE that picture with his kids’ expressions running the gamut from shocked to despaired. And they’re all dressed like Mormons! Gotta love that!

The little girl’s upset because Daddy told her she could have another dead fetus to play with if Daddy got re-elected. Another dream crushed…

My favorite picture of Santorum is at the Senate baseball game when he was all dorky and pudgy in his Pirates uniform. You just want to stuff that guy in a locker.

Hey, I figured it out all by my lonesome!

OFSM, I saw an ad for “X-Rated Investments” and couldn’t resist clicking. You know how it is, in these troubled times, you want somewhere to park your money with your morals, and anyway isn’t porn practically recession-proof?

So it turns out it leads to The Timothy Plan:

a family of mutual funds offering individuals, like yourself, a biblical choice when it comes to investing

Some Stinquer should do a post on this to encourage Timmy to keep advertising.

My favorite part of the Family Glamor-Shot is Jr. there with the glasses, on the right.

He looks like he just caught his first glimpse of man-on-dog.

(And — the crying girl with the doll: who the fuck dresses their kids like that?)

While we’re asking questions, why didn’t anyone alert me to the greatest New Zealand export next to Sauvignon Blanc and merino wool?

I speak, of course, of Flight of the Conchords. During the interminable rainstorms, I watched 9 episodes on DVD and bought two CDs while in Wellington. Perhaps it would help if I had the rich-person cable and I would have learned of this show that everyone else was watching on HBO two years ago. Mr. SFL and I can’t stop singing “Business Time,” “A Kiss is Not a Contract,” and “Foux da Fa Fa” over and over.

@blogenfreude: I can’t get enough of that photo. I think it would be excellent covering the entire wall of my living room.

@SanFranLefty: You’re back! Tall tales from down-under-and-a-bit-to-the-east are in order!

@WaltTrombone: Thank you for that, thats the creepiest thing about him, not just the dumbest senator, but the most batshit insane.

@SanFranLefty: My favorite is the “Me and you with two dudes with food” song.

@SanFranLefty: Mermaid! Mermaid! Mermaid! Mermaid!

OK, a TJ, but Paul Harvey has died. Yay! That smooth-talking, comforting liar, he invented and perfected the Republican Just So Story, the fucking folksy, heartwarming, and totally fictional story that always ends with the moral that Republican values are holy and perfect and right, soft-spoken propaganda, total bullshit, always, always, total bullshit, but so perfectly folksy and plausible.

He was one of the most effective propagandists for evil that ever lived. Good fucking riddance.

Speaking of Harvey, and Limbaugh, has anyone else ever noticed that you could always tell a Limbaugh and Harvey listener because they proudly displayed their Bose Wave Radio that their God told them to buy in order to listen to them? Those $300 pieces of shit.

@Promnight: And now Paul Harvey knows the rest of the story.

@nojo: He he. You made me laugh.

@Promnight: “If You’re Into It,” yes! Quite possibly my favorite, too. Also, from that episode (or another one with the same love interest), “She’s so hot, she’s making me sexist. . . . Bitch.” The songs are not nearly as good this season, don’t you think? All the same, the Australia episode had me doubled over with laughter.

@SanFranLefty: I also don’t have HBO (fucking condo association communists), but I do have bittorrent. I could burn some of the new episodes for you, if you’d like.

@Promnight: Speaking of Limbaugh, how can his liver be healthier than mine?

Paul Harvey classic:

We didn’t come this far because we’re made of sugar candy. Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and across this continent by giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. That was biological warfare. And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever.

And we grew prosperous. And yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves. So it goes with most great nation-states, which–feeling guilty about their savage pasts–eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry up-and-coming who are not made of sugar candy.

Solid Gold. But, disturbingly, he looks a bit like the lecherous and animal-loving Bob Barker, for whom, inexplicably, I have a slight soft spot. Probly just all those afternoons in the 70’s I spent being baby-sat by The Price Is Right. Oh, what wonderful prizes they had!

Paul Harvey tombstone posted. I have a soft spot, too.

@SanFranLefty: Ahhhh – Flight of the Conchords! Jr loves it, and I’ve only seen one episode, but I loved it, too. I esp like the name, like it’s a play on discordant sounds maybe. Glad to see you back, Sweetheart!

@nojo: Comment of the DAY (night? whatever.)

@Pedonator: Dude! I totally love Bob Barker in all his sexual harassment ass grabbing glory!

@JNOV: After Beulah The Buzzer left his show, I lost interest in his career.
