Oh no - SEX!
Any good Christian knows you never ever talk about the dirtiest of dirty deeds, even when making a pun!

I tend to be a compassionate person. But on hearing that anyone who is supported by the Tea Party has lost his or her job, there is only one thing I can say: Good! F him!

How INCREDIBLY STUPID of this guy to jeopardize his day-job career to challenge The Orange Man. Boner’s still gonna have a job after this; Mr. “Winteregg” OTOH, will need to scramble to find another school gig when all he’s got on his resume is 3 years as an adjunct at a Xtian school.
Brilliant!

The guy lost his job for nothing. He never stood a chance of beating Boehner and now he’s out of a job. Hilarious. Once the election is over, his supporters will forget about him. Then he’ll go collect the unemployment benefits that he probably campaigns against.

Well he doesn’t get the 174K job he was looking for and it looks like he lost the chump change one he had. Wouldn’t it be great to know how cool he thought that ad was…and what a big hit he thought it would be.

He should have known his employer wouldn’t be pleased. Sad though, I thought the ad was funny. So few Republicans have a sense of humor.

Boehner is likely to win re-election. Winteregg, however, has gotten support from the Tea Party Leadership Fund, which has dropped $320,000 in attacks aimed at Boehner.
They could drop triple that amount and still lose bad. The citizens of the OH-8 would rather have Boehner be the fuck-up that he is in DC rather wandering loose on the streets of West Chester.
Whoever told this dipshit that he could unseat the incumbent Speaker of the House has a worse drinking problem than the incumbent Speaker of the House!

The sad part is that at most colleges, the faculty are allowed to run for partisan office as long as they make it clear they are doing so as private citizens. But adjuncts, who sometimes get paid less than minimum wage (as an adjunct I was lucky and got paid $950/month for 30 hours a week which works out to $7.20/hour in 2011, though I knew adjuncts making much less), who are basically temp sweatshop workers, get no such protection. Honestly, I have no idea what he thought he was doing.
This does touch on the point made in the TPMCafe article today. Part of the reason that there are only millionaires in Congress is because you can get fired if you try to run for Congress. Most of us can’t just up and quit our jobs, no matter how much we believe that we could make a difference.

As I watched the ad, I kept thinking he should write for a Comedy show. That was a funny ad.
And this is all Boehner has to face for re-election as the local democrats won’t field a candidate any more this time than they did last time. Boehner probably has the safest re-election possible short of outright ballot stuffing.
Those are Old Guys in charge of the college, J.D. You can’t be making fun of the cock when there are Old Guys around. They think you’ve been talking to their missuses.

So funny, but so inappropriate.
Really kind of sad. The guy is delusional, clearly. First, jeapardizing a job even an adjunct position to run against the Majority Leader? Nutso. Second, getting fired for it. Did he check with his boss? I ran for office, but ran it past my boss, who thought it was a good idea. Ask your boss what he thinks.

Literalist Christians, if they have dicks, don’t talk about it.

Wow! Just when you thought you saw a spark of humor in Baggerville they snuff it out. Unless they didn’t realize he said electile instead of erectile. That would be enough to cost him a job at the world-renowned Cedarville University.

Kindest think one can say: Poor, dumb bastard.
“Electile dysfuncion?” Dear Lord, that’s the oldest of so-called jokes! I think Bob Dole used that one!
