"A guy walks into a crowded bar and announces that he's

got a terrific Aggie joke to tell.  But before he can start,

Rick Perry says, 'Hold it right there, buddy!  I'm an

Aggie!'  And the guy says, 'Okay, I'll tell it very, very

slowly'."

Patrick McFalwell Often Mistaken

for Patrick McHenry

If being black gives you a leg up on becoming

President, Representative Joe Walsh is S.O.L. 

"You know Roger Ailes is crazy.  He really

believes that stuff."

Not only is Senator Coburn unrepentant

for being John Ensign's 'fixer', but also,

he says, "I am proud of what I did and

the way I did it."  If you don't see things

the way the Senator does, it's probably

because you're not a member of The

Family and a Christian obstetrician

 from Oklahoma.

Ratko Caught in Serbian Trap

Remember this ex-judge from Jerkwater, Louisiana?

"I'm wearing my 'Pork:  Be Inspired' boots.  When you get

inspired enough, let me know, because, quite frankly, they

hurt my feet and I can't wait to take them off."

Hard to believe, but this fellow doesn't know that Franklin

Pierce was the 14th President of the United States.

If you haven't smoked in 3D, you don't know what

you're missing.

Robot T800 Sez:  "Arnold, you have disappointed a whole

generation of cyborgs!"

"And with each copy of my bestseller, The Path to American

Prosperity, you will receive a Yoshiblade Ceramic Knife, the

same tool I used to slice and dice Republican Party chances

of winning the White House in 2012." 

If you're trying to locate a Southern Gentleman from North

Carolina, please be advised that they became extinct

shortly before Patrick McHenry was elected to the

U. S. House of Representatives in 2004.

"Thank you, Florida, for my 29% job

approval rating!  If it weren't for you, it

might be even lower!  Thank you, thank

you, thank you!"

When you hear the phrase, 'Debt Ceiling', wouldn't it

 be wise to say, "OK, I'll believe in the Debt Ceiling

when you show me the Debt Floor, the Debt Walls,

and the roof of the House of Cards?"

“Are Republicans losing their grip on reality?” Jacob Weisberg

asks.  It's a good question, but for someone as smart as he is,

the editor-in-chief of Slate, he should have asked it when, say,

Ronald Reagan was elected President of the U. S. in 1980.

Let's not forget that it wasn't Paul Ryan or Jack

Davis who ultimately made it possible for the

Democrat, Cathy Hochul, to be elected to the U.

S. House of Representatives.  It was Christopher

 Lee, his bare chest, Craigslist, Gawker, and 

a smartphone.

The good news is that Kathy Hochul defeated Jane Corwin

in the New York 26th District special election.  The bad

news is that this guy, Jack Davis, the Tea Party candidate,

 still garnered 8% of the vote.

Jonah del Goldberg, Field Captain of

the Italian Eating Team (circa 1625)

"Mr. Erickson, a close aide to Sarah Palin describes you as

a 'total douchebag' and a 'greasy dumbass with a talent for

self-promotion'.  Do you think CNN was aware of these

qualifications when you were hired to be a member of 'The

Best Political Team on Television'?"

After it moves to its new $1.7 million digs in Scottsdale,

Arizona, the Palin family will continue its fishing tradition

by angling for the Pancake Batfish.

He had forgiven his wife for her affair with
