Soon You Will Live In A World Run By The Spawn Of Michele Bachmann And Sarah Palin
The Weekly Standard's Matthew Continetti, who wrote a book with the no-joke title The Persecution of Sarah Palin, offers a chilling vision of the future: "If you think Palin and Bachmann drive liberals crazy now, just wait until the 112th Congress convenes in January 2011, when there will be dozens of Palins and Bachmanns. The reaction will be like a David Lynch movie. Heads will explode." I have to figure that pretty much everything will explode, but heads are probably a safe bet to start with.
Does he mention the part where, when this happens, the Republican Party continues to lose semi-rational, formerly staunch voters such as myself?
Who would you vote for? A third party candidate? Ha! Go ahead, throw your vote way! Mwahahaha!
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
Will Congressional hearings on C-SPAN become as awesome as the British Parliament? I have a nagging inferiority complex relating to how much more entertaining their legislature is.
I agree. From what I hear (and I HEAR A LOT about Britian, to be sure!) their parliment is just as innefective as our congress is. So, at least we can ask for some entertainment.
"Why are there people like Sarah?"
I don't think he's actually seen a David Lynch movie.
Scanners, the head-exploding movie to which to Mr. Continetti is probably referring, is actually a Cronenberg. Unless he's talking about Eraserhead? Although I'm pretty sure no one's head actually explodes, per se, in that film.
Maybe he's actually thinking of Videodrome, and James Woods' VHSgina.
The Heironymous Bosch Caucus will convene special hearings against Grandma-and-baby-killing HealthScare Socialists. What's not to like?!
Sweet. I look forward to growing my collection of severed ears found in the grass.
Is the cover for the Standard this week FOR REAL? Hilarious. Huge red "REPEAL" on black background. A beautiful tribute to The Onion. Dudes, can you like listen to David Frum for just a second? Mathematical impossibility. Or are you dumbing it down for the shithead demographic like the rest of the party?
(man I just love how dumb some sectors of American politics are, and I'm allowed to because I'm totally French)
Also, straight-up loving those newsmax ads I can see on y'all's website today.
Bachmann and Palin will form the basis for the Hystericist party. And they don't give a flying fuck about losing staunch Republicans and other traditional conservatives 'cause there's gonna be a lynchin' goin' on.
Bachmann-Palin Overripe.
Nordstom is JWN on the NYSE, just so ya know.
that fucking dumbass. its david cronenberg!!! ugh
