While checking out The Corner to see how their new comments thingy is going (short answer: other than depilatory spam aimed at K-Lo, not very much going on) I came upon a hysterical and sobbing Robert Costa who, in the dewy innocence of youth, trusted Roll Call to only post uplifting videos about politicians bucking the odds for a shot at going to Washington DC to serve America, and by serving America, we mean serving White Jesus. Who is American.
But no.
What Robert Costa came across was video of potty-mouthed Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania’s 8th district cursing a blue streak in a speech before some rough men in some kind of Big Labor Socialist Smut Den.
A grim-faced Costas rises from his fainting couch, unclutches his pearls and reports:
The Profanity Strategy
If you can’t beat ’em, curse ’em? That seems to be the campaign strategy of Rep. Patrick Murphy, a two-term Democrat from the Philadelphia suburbs. In this clip from Roll Call, Murphy shamelessly uses profane language to rile up a union audience (starts around the 2:00 mark):
For those with a delicate constitution or those who do not wish to risk an afterlife of eternal damnation and pain and suffering and prodding by sharpened pokey things in H-E-double hockey sticks, let me just say that Murphy unleashes some of the most vile sexual slurs ever heard outside of the weekly viewing of Black Emmanuelle, White Emmanuelle at the Heritage Foundation’s Viagra Tuesday Potluck. I mean Murphy must have used at least eight vulgar terms for a woman’s, excuse me here, “vagina” (five of which I’ve never even heard before) just in describing Nancy Reagan.
So shame on you, Roll Call, We expected better of you and not this bawdy scurrility, most foul and obscene.
We can get that from Fox News.

Why, that Murphy’s a real plain-speakin’ fella, just like us!
Oh wait, he’s a Democrat.
HORRORS! SWEARING! FOR SHAME! MY KIDS GO ON THE INTERNET!
(Oh by the way, Fitzpatrick is a dishonest sack of what-Murphy-said.)
Hey, Costa, MAN THE FUCK UP!
Huh. Couldn’t find any articles from this guy about a U.S. Senate candidate that regularly sends around, with playful commentary, pictures and videos of a woman having sex with a horse, hardcore porn, and extremely racist material, and has fathered a child with his mistress, and also threatens to “take out” a reporter that is on Ruturd Murdoch’s payroll, clearly suggesting physical harm to said reporter. This is a REPUBLICAN nominee for US Senate. A majority of NY REPUBLICANS ALREADY VOTED to have this sleaze bucket be their representative in the US Senate.

Nope. Nothing to see there. However, minor House candidate using kinda-sorta salty language, pink Himalayan salty if you will…well, it’s all “Extry! Extry! Read all about it!11!1!” Even the guy’s commenters are like, “Dude…c’mon…”
I’m sorry, but his little soldier has not stood at attention in decades.
Wait, you mean this Bob Costa?
Costa earned a master’s degree in politics from the University of Cambridge in 2009, where his research focused on Winston Churchill.
Now, I’m not sure how a degree in Winston Churchill Studies fits into the libertarian Go Galt, I’m too Damn Valuable’ ethos, but I’m fairly certain the old Brit liked to throw around a few expletives. I wonder how many times Bob hit his head on a desk in class from fainting?
And I hope he doesn’t find out about this.
Squawwwwk. Robbie want a f*&%$ing cracker? Squawwwk.
Too bad for the Eighth. Those are BOTH lousy candidates. Best I can say is that they BOTH support EFCA. It’s a union area. But beyond EFCA, neither of ‘em are what’s needed. That said, I do think it’s pretty funny in dark sort of way that language is supposed to be an issue with so much really important stuff already in the toilet.
Dick Cheney approves of this language. Also, fuck Dick Cheney.
Gadzooks, not foul language! Can the nation survive?
Not to fucking nit-pick, but the hard-working, family values Tea Party-backed candidate that forwards emails featuring bestiality and racism and made his fortune renting property at inflated sums to taxpayers is actually running for Governor of New York.
Which, of course, makes it perfectly OK for him to be a racist, sexist, greedy asshole.
I’m sorry… I meant to write, “it’s OK for him to be Republican.”
Uhhhh….yea. Must be a little frazzled still from that image of the woman schtuping the horse, which Paladino finds so funny he must share with so many, that I got my batshit insane REPUBLICAN candidates mixed up. There’s so many after all. Thanks for the correction.
BTW, would-be governor of NY Paladino also has a hard time with reality and/or vocabulary.
My favorite part of his shtick about Andrew Cuomo’s alleged extramarital love life (he only wants reporters to ask the same questions, really. And he has evidence. Or he doesn’t. Or he does. Well, maybe.) is that he (Paladino) is the “family values” candidate because, among other things, he (Paladino) has “never” had an affair. Which I guess means he thinks his mistress/mother of his illegitimate 10-year-old is the Virgin Mary.
And, of course, since he has TWO families, that definitely makes him the “family values” candidate. Obviously, he has twice as many family values as Andrew Cuomo, having twice as many families and all.
How amusing, too, that Mr. “I’m offended by all the grinding in Speedos at gay pride parades” (something he has repeated at least 5 times that I’m aware of — projecting/wishing much, Carl?) is famous, according to the NYTimes, for his love of real strong hugs. No word on whether or not he grinds while hugging.
I saw the title and thought this might be about Tarryl Clark’s despicable obscenity filled attack on Michele Bachmann.
Umm, I didn’t edit out the swear words. That’s exactly how Clark’s add was written. Hahah.
Poor, tender Michele.
Rats! Is there a transcript somewhere? I can’t get it to run past about 8 seconds. I guess the comments give the general idea.
That’s some thin gruel there, after all that build-up. *Spoiler Alert* He said, “No shit, Sherlock. No shit.” That was it.
To translate a joke from Rumpole of the Bailey into American:
The defendant slumped in his chair, and muttered, “Fuck all.”
The elderly judge, hard of hearing, asked the bailiff, “Did the defendant say something?”
“He said, ‘Fuck all,’ your Honor,” the bailiff answered.
“That’s funny,” said the judge. “I thought I heard him *say* something.”

My keyboard may never recover from the coffee I spewed on reading that. However, it was worth it!
@bonkers: Paladino’s running for governor, not Senate. Not sure if anyone had cleared that up.
