Jon Stewart Must Be Paying the Right Preacher …
… because it looks like Lindsey Graham is considering running for President.
In a recent, hour-long interview, Lindsey Graham said if he is reelected to the Senate in November, he will begin exploring a bid for the presidency.
Where’s my swooning couch!
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Can you just see a Lindsey White House? Wait. No. Don’t. Do. That.
1How much mileage can Jon Stewart get out of “the south shall rise again” and Miss Scarlett jokes? We’re about to find out.
Ironic that the goddesses granted a Jewish man so much material based on a far right KKKristian Klown.
2Oh, for God’s sake … puhleeeze!!
PKM … Jon Stewart is gonna have a friggen field day with this one!! And Colbert may even get in on some of this action … probably hoping Ms. Lindsey does run!! I swear … all of this truly gives me a gut ache!!
3I suspect there are too many skeletons in Miss Lindsey’s closet to suit the R base.
4Marcia in CO, if only the Republicans would stick to Comedy Central where they can be highly amusing. Unfortunately, they also appear on C-SPAN, where they are highly embarrassing.
5To repeat the oldest one-liner in history:
6Know what I like about Lindsey Graham?
Not a **ed thing.
Sadly, Jon Stewart is not on tonight and won’t be for a few days. Monday night will be a doozy.
7Graham’s presidential campaign announcement would most certainly be Stewart’s Moment of Zen. He’s probably drooling as we speak.
8Cruz/Graham for 2016. Pleeeeeeeese make it happen!!!
9My dumb cable provider just canceled Stewart here. I’ll be finding a new provider–can’t miss Jon!
10Oh, please, please let it be so.
and Rubio and Jindahl or however you spell it
AND Bachman
and surely there’s a pizza magnate somewhere who knows more than anybody about how to run the country…
11Is Lindsay planning to be the President AND First Lady?
We’d at least get a two-fer.
12Umm … Who would be the First Lady?
13Here in Minnesota, we are heartbroken that our own crazy of crazies, Michelle Bachmann, is not running for Congress this year. She’s been soooo entertaining. OTOH, we won’t miss the embarrassment, nor her mind numbing ignorance.
14PKM – You are so right!
Cheryl … I hate Friday nights because neither Jon nor Stephen are on … but you are so right … Monday will be a doozy!! Oh, goody-goody!!
Maryelle … Who? Ms. Lindsey or Jon Stewart? Of course, they might both be drooling! LOL
Umpty … With Lindsey Graham in the White house, there would be no need for a First Lady cause he would serve in both roles: Mr. Prez and Ms. Lindsey the First Lady. Wouldn’t the Inaugural Ball be stunning?
15Do they sell stock options for smelling salts? Can I buy some?
16This is kind of a long post but it was too priceless to pass up. I hope the Donner Party has Graham over for lunch.
Political Food For Thought
copyright 2004 by Richard Richardson
According to sources, many Americans are fed up with both the Democrats and the Republicans and are hungering for alternatives. Though little known to the general public, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of minor political parties in this great land of freedom. Most are starved for attention and nearly all consume themselves with backbiting and gnashing their teeth. But the cream of the crop—the one that stands out in the feeding frenzy—is the Donner Party.
17One voter is quoted as saying, “I’m going with the Donner Party because they’ve got something I can really sink my teeth into! Among other things, I really like their plan for population control.” A spokesperson declares that they welcome people of all political flavors. As an illustration of the party’s openness, she points out that they are inviting both the Republican and Democratic nominees for dinner at their convention.
This is a party with a keen interest in serving everyone. For instance, they are very concerned about the nutrition of Americans, as highlighted by their motto: “You are what you eat.” In an interview, party chairman, Nibbelson Bights, said, “After grilling some of the best political thinkers, we’ve come to the conclusion that all Americans must have a steak in government.”
So, add some spice to politics and vote Donner!
Cheryl @ #7:
John Oliver on Sunday FTW!!!
18@Sam in Schertz:
Tasty, eh? We’ll all Vote Donner.
As a distant relative of Alferd Packer, I feel the need to meat with the Donner Party leadership. If for no other reason than to chew the fat. To gnaw through the things that separate us. To quit stewing over differences.
Gawd I feel better now.
19Ooh, ooh, I’ve got it! Marcus Bachmann can be First Lady!
20Sam in Schertz & Micr, my wife and I are quite near the Donner Pass and we are anticipating a very good winter. Perhaps we could encourage Shelly Addison, the Brothers Koch and Karl Rove to sponsor a real summit for GOP candidates. Maybe Loopy Louie will receive an invite to the barbecue, oops summit. Word on the streets is that the bears are real hungry this year.
21Tater Totz, Miss Lindsey has aspirations to ascend over Hillary to be the first woman president. Forget Marcus; Crash McGrouchy already has the first dude position locked up.
22I sure wish McCain would shut his trap.
23PKM, if you have that summit, remember to eat the poor people first.
24I promise I won’t make fun of another republican ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
again if Lindsey would throw his hat in.
Okay—I might giggle hysterically if Ben Carson runs—but who wouldn’t?
25Henry, given the chance, would offer Shelly, Charles, David and Karl an opportunity at life, if they gave up all their excesses to house and feed those in need, then voluntarily proceeded to the Hague for adjudication and took the Bushes, Cheney and the other war criminals with them. Bonus points for taking Romney and clan on the plane with them.
Republican/libertarian/Bircher euphemisms are really on my last nerve. Food insecurity? Collateral damage? Call it what they will, but those terms are not pretty substitutes for hungry or dead.
26Miss Graham is the prefect addition to the clown car except her tears and pearl clutching could dereail it before it actually starts. Run Missy Lindsey Run!
27As sister-in-law to a member of the real honest to goodness Donner clan (whose father had a heck of a time getting a dinner reservation at Lake Tahoe–Donner party and that…) I
28think that any party that would eat it’s own…wait, wait! That is the Republican Party in a nutshell…no understanding of climate change, no understanding of what poor people struggle with, no understanding of anything…let them eat cake, or each other…gristle and bones!
@Micr:
News reporter aka barkeep Larry Dolan, on Packer’s conviction and sentencing:
“Well, byes. it’s all over; Packer’s t’ hang. The Jedge says, says he. ‘Stand ip, ye man-eatin’ son iv a gun, stand ip!” Thin, p’intin’ his tremblin’ finger at Packer, so ragin’ mad he was, ‘They was siven Dimmycrats in Hinsdale County an’ ye et five iv thim, God damn ye! I sintins ye t’ be hanged by th’ neck, ontil ye’re dead, dead, dead, as a warnin’ ag’in reducin’ th’ Dimmycrat popylation iv th’ state!”
