    Politics is showbusiness for tone deaf people.

  2. hmm   15 years ago

    This and the stupid Top Chef show my wife watches that had a group of public servants, including Leon Panetta, acting like food critics on reality TV is confirmation the end is near.

    We're turning public servants, other than the Office of President (which has its own issues), into fucking idols and stars.

    Next up. Snooky (or however you spell it) goes to Washington.

  3. WWJGD   15 years ago

    Ah Wonkette, how I don't miss thee

  4. General Butt Naked   15 years ago

    Guitars are definitely racist, no doubt about it.

    1. capitol l   15 years ago

      Oops joke name.

      1. Libertarian Yonemoto Straw Man   15 years ago

        You have been exposed!

        Oh shit.

  5. West Texas Boy   15 years ago

    How ANYONE can look at Elizabeth Warren and see something to admire is beyond me. I look at her and my dick shrivels up. Then she opens her mouth and my ears bleed.

    Make it stop.

    1. mr simple   15 years ago

      Yeah, I saw her in the Daily Show and some other show and all I could think was she knows even less about what going on that the average political puppet.

      1. Elizabeth Warren   15 years ago

        Well, this political puppet knows that banks and corporations are TEH EVIL and that's all that matters.

        Now where's Chad? I need a backrub.

  6. Warty   15 years ago

    The Main Street Brigade, eh? Whoever named this fake band needs to find focus groups with better taste.

  7. ClubMedSux   15 years ago

    Wow, that just might be the worst rapping I've heard from an African-American since this.

  8. Douglas Fletcher   15 years ago

    No such thing as a free lunch.

    The download may be free, but I'm sure I'll pay severely if I listen to it.
