During college, I interned for my local U.S. representative on Capitol Hill. Since I come from a very politically-red region of the country, my Congressman was of course a Republican. I was unregistered with a party myself (as I remain to this day), but quite interested in politics. Continue reading
In the wake of the lessons learned from Sandra Fluke, what the Republicans seem to take from it all is not to be apologetic or remorseful of the wrongdoings of one of their sycophant, mouth pieces, but to find ever inventive ways to recreate the media firestorm that followed Rush Limbaugh’s vitriolic, odd, predatory, and cruel comments about Fluke, a private person speaking publicly about a national issue — but to their advantage. Continue reading
Will Santorum froth at the mouth? Will Newt’s amphibious tongue caress the microphone? Will someone out Romney’s habit for hookers and blow? Will Paul, I don’t know, just be himself?
It has been almost a whole month sees these goofballs have debated last. Tune in to CNN at 8pm ET to watch and here to let your true feelings be known. Continue reading
Sure they Republican presidential hopefuls are mostly a bunch of oldies now, but they used to be young. Let’s jump in the time machine and see what they looked like when they were more youthful. Continue reading
The candidates met in Jacksonville, Florida’s most charmless city, to once again argue about who is least unlikeable. Gingrich is hoping to build on the momentum from South Carolina, where he was less despised than Romney. Romney wants to score some sort death-blow on the loathsome space-beast who stands between him and the nomination that is RIGHTFULLY HIS. Poor morose sweater-fetishist Dick Santorum want to recapture the glory days of Iowa, when HE was popular. Santorum is tired of being the Jan to Romney’s Marcia, and now, to make matters worse, Newt Gingrich is suddenly…Greg, or Davy Jones, or something. It’s not fair. He doesn’t want to blow this thing, and have his damned kids start blubbering, and have his wife give him THAT LOOK. He can’t stand it. Screw you, Romney! SCREW YOU! And the neither-living-nor-dead specter that stoner-hobos and Burning Man-enthusiasts call Ron Paul? He is here because he must be. He is not motivated by the gross lusts of Gingrich or the passionate anger of Santorum, for passion is a trait of the young, and Ron Paul is old, so very old. The gold, the lost gold of Osiris drives him, and his soul aches with an emptiness you cannot imagine. Continue reading
The GOP presidential candidates are doing that thing they do, again, only this time in another place.
They’re debating again. This time they’re in Barney Fife Hall in Mount Pilot, which is not as nice as the Shrimp-n-Grits Auditorium they performed in last time.
Sadly, they can’t go back to the SnG after the thing Gingrich did backstage on Saturday. The gas expelled from his float-sacs can be surprisingly volatile, and Huntsman should probably have told somebody about his shrimp allergy. Oh well. Was that only Saturday? Continue reading
We here at Crasstalk have developed a special kind of sick affection for Newt Gingrich. How obsessed are we? We actually had two posts about him today. Both are funny, so I have combined them together for our own Newt Fest 2012. Please enjoy these posts by Lauren and Cletar. Continue reading
One Friday night, sometime soon, you find yourself in Iowa. Don’t ask how or why; you’re just in Iowa. Now, as anyone that’s ever been to Iowa, or read about Iowa, or is even vaguely familiar with Iowa knows, the only thing to do in Iowa is drink. You leave your hotel and cross the street, wandering your way to a local bar. The bouncer checks your ID and lets you in, and you discover all the GOP Presidential Candidates are drinking there. You sidle up to the bar, order a drink from the bartender, and start checking out the crowd. Continue reading
Conservative attention whore and white-guy crybaby Andrew Breitbart told a group of Tea Party members in Lexington, VA. Friday that conservatives will win a civil war because “we have all the guns.” When the crowd laughed enthusiastically at his comment, Breitbart added, “I’m serious.” He then went into a whine about how people are mean to him on Twitter and how he hates union members. He also stated that members of the US military have approached him and “have his back.” Video after the jump. Continue reading
