Apparently I wasn’t the only one to get the wild idea to taunt Jim DeMint with Abba. Apparently some merry Facebook pranksters had the same idea:
Heh, indeedy.
The pranksters are still having fun attaching pictures to his site:

There is no such thing as too much Waterloo, there is only not enough Waterloo.

merry Facebook pranksters are shrill.

The moment HCR passed, I predicted that Drudge would pull out the old daily stock chart pic. And, he did… and he waited as long as he could until it was obvious that the market wasn’t going to tank. Now, it’s only a faded memory.

Ugh, my subletter in the apartment (thankfully for all of 9 more days) is watching Faux News in the living room. I always suspected he was a closet Republican but my drunken heckling of Boehner last night while watching C-Span must’ve driven him over the edge.
What a turd sandwich.

“Suck it, Demint” has a nice ring to it.

This is great news for President, and Abba fan, John McCain.

Good times. Fuck you, DeMint.

Hmm. So what battle are the wingers going to fight next? Will immigration reform be Obama’s El Alamein? Will financial regulation be his Cannae? Cap and trade his Dien Bien Phu?

@dmsilev: what is that, War is how God teaches Americans geography and so he is teaching Americans historical warfare using reform measures? Yoikes, what a lesson plan.

As I said in a previous thread, Bill Kristol postponed Waterloo for a Friedman Unit.

Um, Mr. Cole, I believe the picture on the horse was used in support of the public option. You better take it down, lest you violate the decorum of the intertubes… :)
I just found out that the rental house I was hoping to get is all mine! The move is going to go so much smoother now that I know Max the Wheaten and I have a house with a yard to move into.
Going to be living in Camas, WA (Prune Hill actually). So friggin’ excited. I want to move now!

@Max: Sounds like things are running smooth for your move. I love the NW, it is beautiful and a milder climate than the ice box of Montana I lived in for a while.

My money’s on the Jobs Bill being his Battle of Singapore. It will be the greatest Republican victory since Governor Thomas Dewey defeated whats-his-name in 1948.

Well, PERSONALLY I’m a very polite and mild mannered sort.

My wife has stated the opinion that “that jerk needs to be ****ed with a sandpaper wrapped dildo” so take it for what it’s worth. :P

@TR:
You’re implying DeMinted actually knows how to use a computer. It’s some dipshit 20-something staffer who’s scrubbing that stuff. DeMint wouldn’t know how to point a mouse (speaking as a former resident of the Palmetto State).

@General Egali Tarian Stuck: Thanks! I reserve the right to bitch about the rain a little in the winter. :)

The schadenfreude will never get old, I think. I feel all warm and cozy, and I haven’t even been drinking or gotten laid or burrowed into a comforter.
Now I shall make myself dinner seasoned with Glenn Beck’s salty tears.

Speaking of southern nutjobs, we have a candidate running against the ever odious Virginia Foxx. There’s a meet and greet with Billy Kennedy in Winston-Salem tomorrow evening; details on Facebook. It’s less than a two hour drive so my husband and I will probably be there. Unfortunately, I opted for the B-J mousepad so I won’t be recognizable by a Tunch or Lilly shirt; sorry.

I do loves me some Jane Mayer. In the forthcoming issue of the New Yorker, she detonates a Truth Vest and destroys Thiessen’s book.

The money quote is right at the end – and it is as much about Obama as it is about Thiessen. Sad but true:

It actually appears that the links weren’t scrubbed. The wall just defaults to DeMint posts. But if you click the “Jim DeMint + Fans” button…

Just did what I said I never would do – JOINED FACE BOOK. pls come friend me, Screaming N. Atlanta. It was worth it to read the fun comments on DoDo DeMints page. Fun times.

He’s another one of those kinky konservative heroes.
Copies of DeMented’s book about saving us all from the dreaded S-word are still available at Wal-Mart for a buck.

Absolutely hilarious! Nice to see an accurate portrait of DeMint that is suitable for hanging. No, not that kind of hanging… we don’t swing that way. :)
What is hilarious about the bill passing is that Obama sat right there in that meeting with the House Republicans and told those shitheads that they have essentially painted themselves into a corner. That they can’t participate in the legislative process any more without fear of retribution. They have frozen themselves out of the process, making themselves completely irrelevant, and they did it with the help of one Democrat. Who could have guessed that all it would take to get Republicans to bow out of the governing process to elect a president who wasn’t pasty white?
Thanks to President Obama and you Obots who helped to put him in office. Yes we can and yes we did! :)

The good news–HCR passed! I’ve been humming Waterloo by Abba all day today.

@Elie: Go down I-5 until you see the Columbia River, then turn left. Camas is just east of Vancouver. I know, I drive through it when going to visit my aunt all the time. And FWIW I’m four hours due east of there.

On the bright side, the GOP did just declare a hard-fought victory in the battle of who could care [about America] less.

@Yutsano:
I’m about six+ hours south (and west) of there and pass through when I decide to take the Washington side of the gorge over to the Tri Cities.
I prefer hauling ass on a restricted two lane with rarely a cop ever around. I beat the I-84 traffic all of the time going that way and it’s fun on a motorcycle. Same when driving the Mustang.

This all reminds me of a great quote from the British political sitcom, Yes Prime Minister (a follow-up from Yes Minister):
“After all, Sir Humphrey, this could be my Falkland Islands.”
“Yes, Prime Minister. And you could be General Galtieri.”
