Oh Please Dear Lord, Just One More Favor
Okay, y’all, when I heard Jodi Ernst’s acceptance speech, I knew that God had bestowed on me the gift of Cracker Cackling to poke fun at for the next two years.

Y’all, that is not a laugh. That’s the sound that summons the flying monkeys.
However, there is a chance that it could get even better.
Louie Gohmert is considering, just considering mind you, running against John Boehner.
Asked Thursday on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV whether he thought Boehner, an Ohio Republican, will retain his powerful seat on Capitol Hill, Gohmert replied: “It’s never over till it’s over.”
Gohmert, who is vice chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations, was then quizzed on whether he was interested in the job himself.
“I hadn’t planned on it. I’m running for the RSC chair,” Gohmert answered, referring to the Republican Study Committee, a group of House Republicans charged with advancing a conservative social and economic agenda.
Gohmert then added:
“But it’s always good when you have choices.”
Indeed it is.
There would be nothing better to kick off the new year than a Louiethon. Imagine Louie Gohmert leading the Republican majority!
Hey, quit cringing. It could not possibly get any worse and at least Louie is a whole boatload of fun.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
JJ, On Joni…. we had to have somebody replace Michelle Bachman…. or there wouldn’t be much fun in politics at all any more.
Read Josh Marshall this morning.(TPM)… not one of my favorite blogs, but I check in once in a while… According to what he’s saying we might as well just dismantle the Democratic Party apparatus in several states. Forget about putting candidates on the ballot in Ohio, and other places..we can’t win. I think that’s the attitude that got us to where we are, but heck what do I know?
I don’t know about who will be Speaker of the House, but really…. is anybody going to notice that Harry Reid is no longer the “Majority” Leader, but instead is the “Minority” Leader? I don’t think so.
1Congratulations, Iowa. The Hee Haw Howler monkey brought to you courtesy of the Koch brothers. How do you like them now?
Louie, Louie, Louie … yeah, ok, Louie. If there was a hope of that happening, it would be divine comedy. At least the inferno part …
Daffy Cruz, Jr., I double dog dare you. (please no one tell him who Mitch has for a father-in-law) Daffy deserves a chance to go yachting with the Chau family and have his Ping May moment.
Harry Reid. As a constituent of the “Anyone but Harry” state, the ultimate measure of the hubris of Shelly Adelson and the Koch brothers is that they thought their money could slather enough lipstick on Sharron Angle. That pig didn’t fly, while castrating pigs has a certain amount of cachet in Iowa.
2The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon is gonna be standing room only over the next few years! We can have Thelma hide microphones in “big hair” for Texas gals going to GOP/Tea Party shindigs and dig up lots of dirt for future reference. This could actually be fun.
3Re: Sharron Angle….never trust a Sharron who needs two “r”s in her first name. One was always an elegant sufficiency for me.
4Laughing out loud. Louie Gohmert! But can he cry and turn orange?
5PKM, run. For office. Start right now. One of my friends and her husband walked and knocked on doors for three years (in the evening) before she actually got elected, but she did.
Now. For your entertainment, I got thinking about the K.bros. and their investments. You know that water desalination is one of their big projects. I had forgotten: water has higher priority than electricity generation. you can also have fun googling Koch brothers and garbage, Koch brothers and waste management, Koch brothers and toxic waste disposal……
This just in from the Des Moines Register: “Top Ernst Aide Arrested For Drunk Driving” (twice in October)

Oh yeah, can understand Joni having that effect on a person.
6Yeah, it could get worse. Inhofe, climate change denier from way back, is supposed to take over the Senate’s Environment committee. Might as well put those two guys from the Dumb and Dumber movies in charge of the Dept. of Education.
7I have to agree with JJ about Joni’s gawd-awful noise she emits as a laugh! Horrible!! If I had to listen to much of that ugly noise, I think I’d be tempted to strangle her or to tell her to shut the hell up … DON’T LAUGH!!
8Marge Wood, in January, 2033, if I am living in a house other than my own, it will be as First Husband. Seriously, I stand behind my conviction that more women are needed in politics, not more white guys.
Message to Joni: you’re late to the party. Former President Clinton is gone and President Obama is well protected. No, not by the Secret Service; the First Lady could take you with one hand tied behind her back.
A Hillary vs Joni cat fight? Not even Las Vegas would give Joni any odds. Then again, I’m not giving any odds that Joni will still be in the Senate come 2017. That ‘laugh’ of hers says padded cell at Bethesda.
9How to address her royal round mouth? MyDamn Sinator koch sucker.that’s how.
10Water (maybe even holy water) on both might do the trick…
11For a number of years Iowa had Tom Harkin in the Senate. He is one decent dude. His family lived in my neck of the woods here in Northern Virginia. He was stumped by the cost of a split level house at that time – $100,000. Claimed he could buy an entire fire lock sock and barrel for that amount of money back in Iowa. So after all his fine hard work for Iowa he is followed up by an elected castrator with a laugh that frankly sounds like one of the pigs squealing as she adjusted his social status. Good luck, Iowa. She wants way more than her 15 minutes of fame and boy is she going to stick it to you!1 (Just couldn’t resist saying that.)
12Farm, not fire. Tom would do that to fire.
13Her laugh sounds about as fake as Ted Cruz looks when he tries to smile.
