Also. Erick’s victory post may become the most ridiculed post ever. This is good news for Dan Riehl.

And the Protein Wisdom clown, the Assrocket idiot…

I’m not sure if any quip on earth can be as funny as Erickson’s “We won by losing, biatches!!” tirade itself but as usual, Mr. TBogg is up to the challenge.

The “Anti-RINOs”…snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since…whenever Erick, Son of Erick was born.

“Whaaaa. . . ?” you say.

I bet he gets a lot of that.

I imagine that tonight he is…wrapped in a snuggie

Or as Republicans might call them “freedom blankets”

Drinks are on Wild Card Erik tonight!

But will he get any respect in the morning?

a Republican who dropped out and endorsed the Democrat

Dropped out? Driven out by ninnies would be more like it.

Were we to combine Scozzafava and Hoffman’s votes, Hoffman would have won.

That’s right Erik. Now why is it again that you didn’t have Scozzafava’s votes? What?

I’m with you guys but we didn’t do so well in VA.

If you were to pile up all the shit from all the lower intestines of the world, you still wouldn’t come close to the amount of crap packed between Erick Erickson’s ears.

“Nice little party ya’ goth there,” sneered Erickson. “It’d be a shame if something happened to it.”
Erick’s co-opting of the word “conservatives” to describe the loose federation of wild-eyed Know-Nothings formerly known as Teabaggers is even more interesting than his assertion that they won by losing. According to him, the party that has already lurched well to the right of Barry Goldwater had better lurch some more Or Else. This will be good news for Sarah Palin and Dick Armey until some even more wild-eyed splinter group decides that NY-23 was lost because their brand of conservatism wasn’t conservative enough. Those who would lead a mob had best be fleet of foot.

The phrase “how’s that working out for you?” springs to mind re the RedStaters.

Obviously Tbogg and the rest of you don’t get it. This is a win because Erkleson and his howling mob proved that they can get the GOP establishment to cave to their demands. That’s a fundamental shift in both power and focus inside the party. It has effectively removed old-line nuts like Gingrich and replaced them with the likes of Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh as the party leadership.

The tea-bag fringe will spend the next six month consolidating its hold on the party, and then it’s on to the purges! GOP moderates will soon be as common as chickens with gingivitis, and self-identified Republicans will fall below 20% in national polling. That way lies true victory!

That is so correct. Oh noes!1! Whatever you real conservatives do, please don’t hitch your wagon to Paylin and Limpbaugh and Blech. It will be the end of Liberalism in America. You don’t really want that, do you?!?

Have you no mercy?!? Do not keep going in this direction, I beg you. Please?

I thought it was just us progressives who claimed “moral victories” when we got blown out in elections.

Smehow, I knew ACORN would figure into this loss.

Despite the brave face Erick is putting on, I imagine that tonight he is sitting a room full of lit candles, wrapped in a snuggie Huggie, and crying …

Fixed that for ya.

funny — instead of painfully trying to pretend that his loss was a win, in his place i’d perhaps have switched the focus to maine, where hate & der popenfuhrer’s crowd of crucifix fetichists had to spend lots and lots of mormon money in order to keep homophobia on life support for a while longer… but that’s why he’s erick and i’m not.

I can’t believe you made a Karla Bonoff reference. You’re one weird dude Mr. Bogg.

the defeat has driven Erikk so far over the edge that he’s ready to throw Grover’s group out of the party.

PURITY!

“…the spectrum of conservatism from Fred Thompson to Mike Huckabee… That’s like the spectrum from purple to violet, or scarlet to claret. Conservatism has shrunk down to the spectrum from semicomatose old Southern actor to semi-lunatic Southern evangelist. That’s a fringe we can believe in — and can believe will remain a fringe forever.

Over at BJ, I posted that this still looked like a win for conservatives, but I was FUCKING KIDDING! Two minutes later, DougJ posted Erick the son of Erick’s ridiculous post, and I knew that snark had officially jumped the shark. I can’t think of anything too outlandish for this band of idiots not to try, and I can think of some pretty weird-ass things.

Erikkk brought the crazy/delusional all right, but my favorite wingnut acid trip was and remains Captain Corn Dog’s ode to the unappreciated genius of George Bush…

Erickson is determined to shrink the GOP down to a size where he can drown it in a teacup.

“Were we to combine Scozzafava and Hoffman’s votes, Hoffman would have won.” Ah, wishful thinking; it’s so worthwhile. Were my aunt to have balls, she’d be my uncle. But, Erick, dahling, IT DID NOT HAPPEN. Stop trying to outdo Tim McCarver in the second-guessing department, and welcome to what we like to call “Reality.” Enjoy your first visit here.

Why would he combine the votes of a True Conservative and a Communist?

Of course, so little of what Erick says makes a lick of sense to us DFH’s, but this line may be difficult even for his legions to wrap their heads around.

First, the GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives or will win with conservatives.

I will try to translate by analogy.

The Los Angeles Clippers now must recognize that they will either lose without 5′6″ overweight white guys, or will win with 5′6 overweight white guys and a pony.

Still doesn’t make much sense, but the mention of sports, inferior feeling white people, and horsies may make them smile and clap.

Also.

and crying as he eats a bowl of ranch dressing with a spoon

Tee hee.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, I wish for Erick and all of Teabaggerdom to enjoy an endless string of such victories. Hold your bags high! The world looks on in wonder!

until some even more wild-eyed splinter group decides that NY-23 was lost because their brand of conservatism wasn’t conservative enough.

This is the meme to promote. Can you imagine the sideshow cavalcade of drooling loonies, trans-species hybrids, two-headed snakes, and telepathic gophers that will emerge from the Forbidden Place to proudly stand as acceptable Republicans? No, you can’t, because you’re using the human mind, which is what you’re equipped with. But you can try.

Add beer-bellied, absurdly over-armed militants, and the GOP convention will be a thing of wonder…I can hardly wait.

Hey now, there’s no reason to drag ranch dressing into this. It served me well when I put it on my Victory Wings last November.

Consider bleu cheese dressing next time; the added Frenchiness still drives the wingnuts extra nuts.

Funny thing is, we actually won 2 dems in the 23d last night. Owens going to congress and Dierdre will probably switch parties in the NY lege.

Oooh, even more for Erick and his friends to celebrate! “Waiter, another helping of dressing for my friend with the mental wedgie.”

So has Erick jumped the snark?

PALIN-SANFORD 2012. YEAH!

Dunno, but you sure as hell made me guffaw!

Erick’s victory post may become the most ridiculed post ever.

not as long as

remains upwind in the powerline archive.

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.

srsly, people, do you think the goper establishment is any saner than the tooth-optional healthbaggers? their two messages are essentially the same:

‘letting the rich rule has collapsed the economy!

’so the only possible policy is … to let the rich rule.

‘no, honestly, it’ll work this time …’

As Erick tightens his hold on his Purity Balls they turn ever bluer…

Na ga happen. There still are some Republicans up here in NY23 who remember what it was like to hold moderate views, and put their constituents over whatever interests lie beneath the lowest common denominator.

But I’ll bet there’ll be a lot of laughs in Albany when they reconvene: “Hey Dede, sorry I supported the knuckedragger over you, my dear pal o’ mine. Say, no hard feelings, right? And would you co-sign my bill to cut services in your district so we can lower taxes on the wealthy?”

From that Great Man, Robert Stacy McCain:
By the way, some campaign sources tell me that Mr. Hoffman was very emotionally bruised by Tuesday night’s result. In recent days, he had come to believe — like a lot of us believed — that he was about to win an upset victory. If you’d like to send Mr. Hoffman a note of encouragement, please go to the contact” page at his Web site.

Dear Mr. Hoffman: You have my deepest condolences for listening to all of these assholes who told you you were going to win.

Losing is actually a feature for the conservative movement. Legislating corrupts the ideology. Much better to remain pure on the sidelines than have to, you know, compromise on your principles and govern. I’m OK with this.

That line makes me happy.

(Sorry about the double post 38-39, folks. That’s what happens when you combine multitasking with advancing senility.)

Yep, even more ridiculed than Ross Douchehat, the man of romance and action who, as the General might say, watches his little soldier shrink from battle and retreat to the barracks when he is confronted by chunky Reese and her spilling boobs. Although it is close.

You’re giving wingnuts too much credit–for being able to think in logical fallacies.
