While this is the first I’ve mentioned it this Purity Test is a gold mine for political comedians and writers. These guys really do make it too easy on us sometimes.

Bobby posing at a tea bagger rally expressing his creativity with a sign.

Jacksboro, Texas – Bobby Williams resides in the small town of Jacksboro, Texas. His Facebook profile lists his interests as “Constitution lover for life hoss.” He is currently attending his local community college and enjoys following Conservative talk radio as well as right wing blogs in his free time. Bobby enjoys getting involved with the current hot issues he learns about from his Tea Party email list subscription.

“I just love my country, you know? If you don’t like it well then you can just get out. We don’t cut and run and we ain’t scared,” he enthusiastically proclaimed without a follow up on exactly what it is that he isn’t scared of. Soap wouldn’t be this reporter’s first guess.

A pressing issue on the mind of Bobby Williams is why others do not match his enthusiasm for the important political issues. He is constantly trying to warn his friends and co-workers about the horrors being committed by the current administration in office but seems to be falling on deaf ears.

“I mean god damn, we got us a Muslim Socialist President with no birth certificate right now in the White House. He’s giving jobs to ACORN goons while funneling tax payer money to his Chicago gangster friends. Why aren’t we doing anything about it? Shit, Rush seemed pretty pissed about it. Lucky for Obama he’s a busy guy and can’t go take care of this himself. We got Chuck Norris on our side, that’s like better than God. Hell we got God too.”

“I guess it is because the drive-by liberal media has brain washed people into ignoring these facts. It’s a good thing I re-bookmarked Glenn Beck’s blog back when I did after my AOL account got all messed up.”

Bobby confessed that he will need to learn to accept the fact that he is ahead of the political curve compared to the general public and some others may not understand. He is just grateful for the wonderful right wing internet resources afforded to him by his aforementioned AOL account. His concerns about the current administration however, will not be calmed.

“All these people crying for health care need to shut up and get a job. Lord knows if it wasn’t for my back from the accident, I know I would.” This was then followed by a 20 minute telling of a 5 minute story about his accident which then somehow landed back on the topic of Obama.

“If he ever messed with Texas…well I’m not sure what I would do.”

Hang in there Bobby Williams. Your country needs you.

File this one under awesome. The exchange between the two starts at around 3:00. Someone behind the scenes was likely fired at around 5:30 – Ron officially jumps in at around 6:45

Thanks to The Political Carnival for the video link.

The right and Dick Cheney like to have it both ways. ‘[Obama is providing]Aid and comfort to the enemy but I’m not calling him a traitor. I’m just using language from the Constitution.’

Ron Reagan to Christie:

Don’t bring up my father’s name in the realm of torture Mr. Christie

It isn’t uncommon to see someone from the right use a talking point in a debate but when the son of your talking point calls you out in response is just gold. This is clip is well worth the watch.

Talk about hitting them high, the Democrat’s initial public option demand may become history in the current health care reform legislative process.

Seen by many as an obvious tool to gain leverage in negotiations, it seems most Democratic law makers in the Senate are ready to give up the charade:

Associated Press reports Democrats reach deal to drop government option

From the linked article:

After days of secret talks, Senate Democrats tentatively agreed Tuesday night to drop a full-blown government-run insurance option from sweeping health care legislation, several officials said, a concession to party moderates whose votes are critical to passage of President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

….except when he does it he pisses off his base. Well people screamed for change, I suppose a bunch of pissed off hippies screaming at their President isn’t much of a change though. Washington Post, continuing its “We’re not up Obama’s ass, we swear” campaign, has an interesting piece on the supposed messiah follower’s alleged disappointments:

Washington Post – Obama supporters get a dose of reality

Meanwhile BO is dismissed as a non-American Muslim anti-Christ by the right wing pundits. You can’t please them all; or at all at times. I recall hearing criticisms of Bush for concentrating on Iraq and not in Afghanistan; now Obama is called a war monger for this strategy.

Conan O’Brien: “President Obama hosted a jobs summit at the White House, and he met with the CEOs of Google, FedEx, and American Airlines. The CEO of Chrysler was late. He said, ‘Sorry, car trouble.’”

Jay Leno: “Did you hear about that uninvited couple who crashed the state dinner at the White House? Unbelievable. They even had their picture taken with Vice President Joe Biden, which is kind of radical because Biden was also an uninvited guest.”

Jimmy Kimmel: The January issue of Golf Digest “features a picture of Tiger Woods as President Obama’s caddie. The cover story is titled ‘10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger.’ Yeah, I don’t think Obama is going to be taking any tips from Tiger.”

Craig Ferguson: “The Secret Service is in a lot of hot water after what happened. … But I think give the Secret Service a break. ….. When the Secret Service heard there was a crazy couple in White House, they just assumed it was the Bidens.”

Conan O’Brien: “Of course…you’ve been hearing about them, the couple who crashed the White House state dinner. They were supposed to be on ‘Larry King Live’ tonight, but they canceled their appearance. … Apparently, they didn’t feel right showing up to a place where they were actually invited.”

Stephen Colbert: “Everybody’s talking about the party crashers at Obama’s state dinner. Amateur hour at the White House. I mean, who lets Joe Biden in? And all this just to get on ‘The Real Housewives of Delaware.’ Hope it was worth it, Joe.”

Stephen Colbert: “Of course, there was another disturbing program on last night: Barack Obama’s reality show, ‘So You Think You Can President?’”

Jon Stewart: “‘A hacker in England got hold of e-mails between leading scientists which skeptics say show a clear effort to raise fears about global warming and hide evidence against it.’ … Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh…the irony.”

Jimmy Kimmel: “After months of deliberation, our president, President Obama, tonight revealed his much anticipated plans for Afghanistan. Turns out he’s decided to pave it over and make a Wal-Mart out of it.”

Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony!

Follow the money!

On the heels of Little Green Footballs’ controversial Why I Parted Ways With The Right post another Conservative has jumped ship and wants to come out of the right wing closet for good. The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan writes:

I cannot support a movement that claims to believe in limited government but backed an unlimited domestic and foreign policy presidency that assumed illegal, extra-constitutional dictatorial powers until forced by the system to return to the rule of law.

To paraphrase Reagan, I didn’t leave the conservative movement. It left me.

And increasingly, I’m not alone.

When it becomes cool to distinguish yourself from the GOP by masquerading as Constitutionalists and Libertarians in addition to bloggers stepping on top of each other to right the great “Fuck this” piece you know it’s time to change things. This means drastic new ideas which this party is not known for. Want new results – tweak the variables.
