Several weeks ago the "directors" of Red State (which includes noted plagiarist Ben Domenech as well as Mr. Monica Goodling) challenged all those who aspired to head the RNC to answer These Questions Ten. Upon receipt of the answers the Directors would then retire to their Chamber of Hard Thinking where, over ice-cold Zimas, they would review the submissions, dismiss the RINO’s, pretenders, and apostates and select the One True Conservative who would be announced with a fart-like blast of white smoke through a laundry vent at Red State International Headquarters/Moe Lane’s Garage.
At least, that’s how is was supposed to work.
But you know how Conservatives Conservatives are always aft gang agleying their best laid plans? Well, things didn’t go so smoothly and it looks like nobody turned their homework in so the Directors have sent out Erick the Red State, Scourge of the Impure, to issue a very very very stern “we’re not kidding – we’re totally serious” warning:
A few weeks ago, the Directors of this site published this post seeking answers to ten questions from the candidates for RNC Chairman.
We are still waiting.
Here is my compromise plan. I’ve heard from a few of you that you are bogged down in Morton Blackwell’s questionnaire. I’ve seen it. I’m sympathetic. Send us a copy of your answers to him and we will be placated.
But pick one or the other or both.
Obviously Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, and the other guys who are running for RNC chair (because they can’t get elected to any real positions of power) don’t realize who they are dealing with and therefore risk incurring The Wrath of Red State which can only mean that they can kiss a collectible set of personalized Red State ceramic coffee mugs goodbye.
Suck on that bitches. That’s right…that’s right. Uh hunh.
(To be followed with awkward white guy high fives and chest bumps)

“11. Please explain why Sarah Palin is the most awesome Governor evah. (After Reagan, of course)”
I hear those Red State coffee mugs make great “thunder mugs.”
Glad to see that neither the airplane nor its erstwhile occupant landed on you or the lissome and soigné Mrs Tbogg
They must have stocked up on Zima since they no longer make it….. what happens when their emergency stores run out
Erick: “But pick one or the other or both.”. Or neither. Or something else. Just fucking pretend I’m important enough for you to give a shit about me… please? What do you mean “you’ve never heard of me?”
Well, since nobody applied, I’ll take a stab at it.
1. Please state your qualifications for the job and why those qualifications make you the best choice.
I believe Jesus rode dinosaurs and Ann Coulter is hot.
2. Please explain how you see the role of RNC Chairman.
Somewhere between Drive-thru manager at Burger King and coach of the Washington Generals.
3 Please outline how you see the role of RNC Chairman in terms of structuring the Republican message and platform.
Do whatever Jerry Falwell tells me to do. Oh wait, he’s dead. I mean’t Elisabeth Hasselback.
4. Please outline your goals for internal reform and/or restructuring of the RNC.
A. Piss off everyone not 55 years or older and white.
B. Make fun of teh gays.
C. Resign and get a job with Haliburton
Please explain your vision for expanding the GOP’s use of technology in the future and, in light of that, explain your preferred structure for the online apparatus of the RNC.
All technology will be powered by oil, oil products, or semi-automatic weapons. On-line I prefer a top down authortairan approach with no apparatus provided for input from the apostates.
5. Please explain what steps and resources you would use to rebuild, reform, or otherwise repair state Republican parties that need restoration and/or strengthening.
Huge parties at night in fields with sheets, burning crosses, and bible quoting.
6.Please explain what criteria you would use to vet and recruit winnable candidates.
Did you masturbate to Sarah Palin today? How about yesterday? Are you planning to do it tomorrow?
Please explain how you would recruit effective candidates for the 2010 United States Senate races and how you would help those candidates.
See above
Please explain why the Republican Party should remain a pro-life party.
Because anyone who isn’t pro-life should be killed.
Please explain what benchmarks you think would be fair to measure an RNC Chairman to determine if that Chairman has succeeded or failed in his task.
A. Ted Haggard likes me.
B. 15 or more appearances on Fox News Sunday
C. Gays are rounded up and confined to the West Village
I have my fingers crossed. Wish me luck.
Somewhere in Norway, a Viking grave trembles.
Ha! You mock, but look at the tail end of the discussion from the Chamber of Hard Thinking:
I just got a tweet from Saul minutes ago replying to my call on twitter for the candidates to respond to Erick’s blog. He stated:
Red State questionaire…mine is on it’s way
Grassroots in action…via Twitter…you gotta love it.
Feel the powah!
And Tbogg, are you saying they’re synergizing through matching “I’m kind of a big deal” Snorgtees?
Oh, shit. I was all ready to start polishing up my app, but then Hatmandu shows up. S/he’s clearly more qualified than I am.
Red Whatnow?
Poor Erick. Desperate for orders from above, and facing a future without talking points being issued from the White House, he is pinning his hopes on the RNC picking up the slack.
These guys still don’t understand _what_ happened last month, let alone _how_.
Just one question:
Who the fuck is Morton Blackwell?
.
jb1584:
The
TerroristsDemocrats win..
do you get the feeling that these guys are not unfamiliar with “kick me” signs and wedgies?
If they have any self-awareness/self-respect, would they advertise how everything they touch has FAIL written all over it?
From wiki:
“In December 2000, during the Florida recount controversy, Blackwell decried the perceived tactics of the Democrats. “These people are basically Leninists. They will stop at nothing to win.” He opined that “it could get bloody — figuratively and, I fear, literally.”
Blackwell was also at the center of controversy during the 2004 Republican National Convention, when he passed out purple heart bandages which were perceived as an attack against Democratic nominee John Kerry. The Kerry campaign attacked the activity as the Republican Party mocking United States Soldiers.[1] Karl Rove called Blackwell’s bandages “innapropriate”.[2]”
Perhaps we could see a copy of his questionaire.
Sample question: “Are Democrats socialists, leninists, terrorists, liberal fascists, or all of the above?
wine coolers and whip-its !
They need to provide some incentives.
Maybe a few naughty photos of K-Lo?
Try and sleep now, suckers!
“But pick one or the other or both.”
thingwarbler beat me to it, but seriously, wtf is up with this statement?
It’s bad enough these factory-wrapped douches want us to take them seriously when they proudly announce they are Republicans, but then they pen something this blatantly incoherent?! And do it in some tough-guy, “my way or the highway” manner.
I think that Erick the Viking has so invested in the postscript (i.e., “Back in 2008, it seemed the Republican fortunes would be down for awhile; that is, except for one intrepid blogger…”) that he doesn’t even bother with a cursory attempt at proofreading.
Oh. Dear. God. Not only does everybody on the left think they are preposterous asshats and the best unintentional parody site on the web (with the possible exception of Townhall and the Corner), but even the Rethugs don’t take them seriously. I surely hope that their tiny fragile egos can take this abuse, because who else can we turn to for such cheap comic relief?
You bastard!
Upon receipt of the answers the Directors would then retire to their Chamber of Hard Thinking where, over ice-cold Zimas, they would review the submissions
They did have foresight in one respect:
“Hi, my name is Erick The Red, holder of the Valhalla Thunderstick of Doom. This is my partner Moe. On behalf of ourselves and our parners, Larry and Curly, we demand you bow to our every whim and desire. Although you were perfectly capable of reaching the highest echelons of the GOP on your own, be warned, we actually control your fate with the power of our website, co-authored by a virgin who got fired for numerous acts of Plagarism. Now please meet our demands or we shall destroy you.
Sincerely,
Red State
P.S. Wolverines.”
Only until his mom needs the plunger to unplug the toilet in the basement washroom from all those kleenex he keeps flushing down it.
Pfft. EVERYONE knows Republican’s hate essay questions.
Speaking of Zima, Bob Harris notes:
“Since Zima was pulled six weeks ago, this petition has been signed by Zima fans around the world. So far, there seem to be exactly 403 of them on earth.”

I find myself somewhat surprised that they would consider this to be “Zima Worthy”.
Every single occasion from here forward will have to be scrutinized for Zima Worthiness, I should think
