President -In-Waiting Mike Pence appears at Hillsdale College (Home of the Fighting Daughter-In-Law Humpers. Go Humps!) and uses simple expressive images to illustrate how America has gone to hell in a handbasket ever since the wool was pulled over our eyes by that slicker-than-snot-on-a-doorknob Kenyan feller:
Our nation finds itself in the position of a dog whose duty it is not to ask why, because the “why” is too elevated for his nature, but simply to obey. America is not a dog, and does not require a “because-I-said-so” jurisprudence to which it is then commanded to catch up, or legislators who knit laws of such insulting complexity that they are heavier than chains; or a president who acts like, speaks like, and is received as a king. The presidency has run off the rails. It begs a new clarity, a new discipline, and a new president.
And that cableknit-sweatered bondage traindog is Mike Pence.

And it’s precisely because of dorks like him and O’Donnell that the GOP’s vaunted House takeover is starting to slip away. Keep it up, dude!
Ex-President George Roche III must have learned his administrative skills from Assistant Principal Dunbar.
But even funnier – Bristol Palin danced to “Mama Told Me Not To Come” tonight.
How stupid are these people?
The clarity of a dog knitting chains for a king on the train. Got it.
Damn. That’s some special stupid from SicksPence. We’re talking up in the Palinosphere.
Obama wins with over 10 million votes…historically a landslide…and these mental midgets keep repeating the “armed rebellion” bullshit, like Mikey did. The only people with any claim to be pissed right now are on the Left, since some think the change is too small or whatever. But these ‘ublicans constantly whining about having things rammed down their throats either need to start working on winning some elections, or moving out of the country since they hate our Republic’s democratic process so much.
Oh no, she DIT’INT!
That works on so many levels, Bristol may be smarter than I thought. I mean, maybe she really hates her mother.
His fancy talking makes a sham of a mockery of a scandal of a sham of a scandal of fancy talking……
Ooooh, and GOOOO Bristol! You gotta win cuz Momma needs a new set of teef! The meth done eat the last set outta her noggin’….
You watched that train wreck tonight?
Isn’t that cute. Mike is obviously taking Poetry 101. He should be careful though. He doesn’t want to sound too elitist by using all them fancy words and such.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
It appears that it was meant as a musical pun, but only in a much milder way than the obvious one.
I can’t wait for Redneck Dancing with the Stars, with people dancing to songs like “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother”.
Damn! What is it with Republicans and man on dog sex?
Roche had a reputation for possessing a free-range phallus rumored to have visited students and college employees.
When all you think with is your hammer, everything looks like something to nail?
I’ve been reading this all day, and I was just thinking about the Three Dog Night hit, and the late, great Hoyt Axton, and, “well, you probably could do a cha-cha to that, I guess.”
The rest never occurred to me.
That’s what I get for not being a prude. Innuendo flies over my head at 20,000 feet.
Wait… Mike Pence thinks dogs ask questions? And he wants to command our armed forced? Damn, we’re really in trouble now…
It was always Hammer Time for Roche! Just ask his daughter-in-law.
Um, he does realize he’s basically describing the W. regime, right? RIGHT? And, no, I did not click on any link.
P.S. The only reason I would have watched the dancing show is because Margaret Cho was on it. However, it was not enough to sway me in the end.
[ annoying pop culture nerd ] Hoyt Axton wrote “Joy to the World.” “Mama Told Me Not to Come” was written by Randy Newman [/ annoying pop culture nerd ]
He’s like a mini-McCain. For all our sins.
Senior Pence Aide #1: Dammint! Who let him near the thesaurus again? For fucks sake, I told you – the only reading materials allowed near the President-elect are the New York Post and Tigerbeat!?!
Pence Aide #2: Sir, it wasn’t that. He found a bag of refrigerator magnet words in the dollar aisle at Target. I tried to take them away, but he swallowed them one by one.
Greenwood is 96.54% white. Must be tough running against the grain. His church has an enormous sports facility attached to it. Perhaps that’s where he meets and greets other straight married local republiKKKan males with children.

Knitting laws that are heavier than chains. That’s a keeper. I’ll never forget Bob Guccione of Penthouse saying his magazine was “innovative in it’s magnitude”.
I’ve discovered Pence’s law of speecifying, why say something once when you can say it five times, though it doesn’t make much more sense:
Man, I had no idea our forebears were so circumlocutory, copious, diffusive, digressive, discursive, dull, exuberant, lavish, lengthy, long-winded, loose, meandering, palaverous, profuse, prolix, rambling, random, redundant, repetitive, tedious, vague, verbose, waffling, windy and talked so much.
Christine O’Donnell’s theme song.
“slicker than snot on a doorknob”- first time I’ve heard that since Tom McGuane.
Much healthier and more enviro-friendly than those factory-farmed phallii.
I hope you weren’t including Randy Newman in the annoying pop culture tag…
Ever heard Van Ronk’s “Think It’s Going to Rain?” Or Eddie Raven doing “Lousiana?” Neither pop nor annoying.
I’m often amazied at the number of good, and yes, popular, songs from Newman.
And I knew a guy who went to Hillsdale. Smart guy. Blinded by ideology, too.
Sarah wanted to teach Bristol a lesson by pulling out at the last minute. She was a couple years too late.
I’m thinking the GOP is going to go full blown bonkers by election, both out of overconfidence and fear of losing. We need to keep reminding people just how they have dropped the load every time something happened over the last two years(and beyond, I know but that’s too far back for some to contemplate) The party that made Chicken Little say “C’mon guys, tone it down. You’re starting to look stupid.”
Yeah, me too. Ross Perot used to use “owl shit” in place of “snot”.
Here’s the video of Bristol’s un-Come dance.

She’s definitely doing a rip on her mother.
Thanks. Looks to me like she was having fun! Go, girl!
Indeed, Ex-PFC Wintergreen used to throw commanding officers’ memos in the wastebasket for just such stylistic flaws. Too bad he’s not running things today.
BTW, dogs do ask questions, very sensible ones. Yesterday I eliminated one step of our diabetic pug Albert’s morning medication routine (on the vet’s instruction, due to a digestive upset), and he asked, “Excuse me, but aren’t you forgetting something?”
I dunno. I clicked the link to the actual RL history on Roche Sr’s dealings with his daughter-in-law and the attendant badness, and I wished I hadn’t. Sounds like a phallus that picked up some serious plague bacilli in its wanderings. I felt like I needed a long walk in the fresh air.
It makes you wonder if the compulsive sex weirdness and the religio-political weirdness have a common organic cause, or does one produce the other (but which comes first), or what? It does seem that the operative word might be compulsive.
