Shit! I Have to Tidy Up the Place for Yet Another GOP Herp-Derpbate! – Now with Bonus Chirpstory!

Update!!!  My esteemed colleague, Ian, has put together a chirpstory – the best tweets of the debate – for the GOP herp-derpbate, and I have embedded the code below, right before I begin live-blogging the debate.  Enjoy!

*yawn*   *shuffle, shuffle, stop*  *peers around and tightens robe*

What the fuck are you doing here?  The hell?  Another debate, you say?  It’s been so nice not having to listen to the GOP presidential candidates blather on and on and on and on and – do we have to do this again?!?  Oh fine.

*flounces to the computer and thunks down*

*drums fingertips on the keyboard, producing gibberish, which is still more intelligible than anything any of the GOP candidates might utter tonight*

The GOP herp-derpbate is taking place in Arizona tonight with CNN’s John King moderating.  He got clowned on by Newt Gingrich the last time he moderated, so expect King to get some of his own back tonight.

What will be on tap?  I have a hunch Romney will be asked about a certain local, hypocritical, blackmailing de-closeted sheriff.  Santorum will definitely be asked about his holier-than-God attitude in deciding who is a Christian and who is not.  By they way, Ricky, have you read Matthew 1: 1-5?  Fascinating scripture.  Really.  Or, as I like to say, don’t start none, won’t be none.  I have no idea what will be asked of Ron Paul, nor do I particularly care.  Is it just me, or has he fallen completely off the radar lately?  Couldn’t have happened to a nicer crank if you ask me.  As for Newt, the less said, the better!

Romney's Anti-Detroit Op-Ed, Translated

Romney op-ed: U.S. autos bailout ‘was crony capitalism on a grand scale’

[This promises to be dramatic: The Kraken of Krony Kapitalism, Revealed by our Intrepid Romney! I can hardly wait!]

By Mitt Romney

[Guess again, Willard]

I am a son of Detroit.

[If Mitt Romney is a son of Detroit, then that means George Romney is not his father!]

I was born in Harper Hospital and lived in the city until my family moved to Oakland County.

[He’s afraid to say Bloomfield Hills, the very affluent suburb.  Cough, White Flight, cough.]

What the Hell? Another GOP Debate?: Live-Blogging the Final Four with Added Bonus – the Chirpstory

Welcome to January Jackassery and the Final Four!  There are half the candidates with twice the dog-whistles.  Cage match, TO THE DEATH!  Four men will enter the ring, and…um, four men will walk out*.  But, but, but, three will be bloodied** if unbowed, and ONE MAN WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER. What is foremost on my mind for this monumental event is this:

Really, GOP?  Another debate?  What the fuck are we going to learn that we don’t already know?   Or rather, to which new low will the candidates – and audience – sink?  Will Newt Gingrich promise, to wild applause from the audience, to return to the good old days of slavery?  Will Rick Santorum vow to personally check the home of every gay man to ensure that there is no frothy mixture left behind?  Will we see angry Mitt slip out from beneath the carefully-polished veneer?  And, if we do, can we please please please have Mitt saying, “You won’t LIKE Mittens when he’s angry!” before punching Gingrich in the nose?  Will Ron Paul strip to his onion belt and start chanting, “Gold standard now and forever, bitchez!!!!” while throwing gold doubloons at the other candidates, the moderator, and the audience?
