For those keeping score at home:
Tracking down, capturing, and gaining a confession (without torture) of a almost-bomber three days after the almost-bombing was a big fat failure and because it was a big fat failure, we are all dead now. Thanks a lot, President Terrorist McNegro.
On the other hand, coming in second in a state party primary makes you a “Conservative Rock Star” and, so, a success.
Stutzman/Hoffman 2012!

WoooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Boom!
“He took on the establishment and nearly won.”
I believe this falls under the “close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades” category.
Elections, not so much.
Little Scottie Brown demands the last four minutes of his fifteen minute slot!
The Republicans don’t have “stars” so much as they have flavors of the week.
This must make me an almost real Rock Star since I own a Fender Stratocaster and can play three chord progressions!
Dear Eric,
I wouldn’t count Florida in the “win” column yet douchebag.
Love,
The people who can’t stand your blathering
Man, I can’t wait for The Bride of What We Have Here Is A Dead Teabagging Shark.
I never got that saying. Shouldn’t nuclear weapons belong with those two?
You are intentionally overlooking how quickly the Bush administration captured, convicted and executed Osama bin Laden.
Oh, wait a minute, never mind.
Not only are teabaggers armchair warriors; they are armchair FBI agents, too.
There is simply no limit to their capacity for back seat driving any situation, from a war to a manhunt. Forget the people who didn’t sleep for 50 hours before they caught the suspect and thank the teabagger who does nothing.
Ah, the Tea Party… where losing is winning, +/- 20% of the population is a majority, and having the thinnest, whitest skin shows just how tough and all-inclusive you are. Also.
The Tea Party = Chicago Cubs of politics.
As a lifelong Cubs fan I rebuke your statement and challange you to a duel on Waveland Ave. Your choice of weapons.
I believe the actual aphorism is “‘Close’ only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and atomic bombs.”
I completed a financial transaction (successfully traded money for gasoline) today which makes me A Master of The Universe! Move over you Goldman Sacks!
I don’t think I’ve drifted into conspiracy theory and cognitive error if I amend the premise to ad the word ‘alleged’ or ‘suspected’. I mean, I think we still have to go through the motions of charges and hearings and evidence and stuff. Or maybe not.
Marlin’s loss — a win for conservatives. Like clockwork.
Obama is bragging about the 54 hour arrest.
Bush knew who they were shortly after they flew into the Twin Towers.
Man, that Bush was good.
This is good news for John McCain.
Heh! Yeah, he could identify. He thought they were poor pilots like himself.
But you’ve got to give credit where credit is due: that Bush sure is a mean My Pet Goat reader

Eh, not so much. It wasn’t like he was reading it out loud, and dude took like 7 minutes to read the thing, minimum. He should have blown through it a lot faster.

Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US ring any bells with you?
True that, but My Pet Goat is a whole lot more challenging than Hop On Pop on sooo many levels.
If The Man was struggling with My Pet Goat, what are the odds of him making sense out of “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US”?
Golly, speaking of the best-n-brightest, where’s Condi these days?
I have always said “horseshoes, hand grenades, and slow dancing”.
As for the non-inclusion of nuclear weapons and/or atomic bombs in the list, I would presume it is because the saying predates those items.
It may be apocryphal (no time to check Snopes), but isn’t there a picture from 9/11 of Chimpy reading My Pet Goat with the book upside down?
Photoshopped.
Sheesh, I’m ashamed that I haven’t been referring to him as President Terrorist McNegro all along.
They even knew where they were. Somewhat north, south, east, and west of Baghdad.
ps: I believe it was “The” Pet Goat. Like Grape Flavor-ade, some things are worth being pedantic over.
