Will the GOP have a Dumb-Fuck to English translator present?

OK, this will truly be Must See TV. Maybe they can use her speech to preempt the prez on Fox? After all, its not like it will be anything other than the usual RWNJ BS.

Just makes me curious as to who the Tea Party will use to top her batshit crazy. Maybe Bachman will come out of retirement for the occasion,

Hope I can pop enough corn between now and then.

Personally, I want to see the rebuttal delivered in finger-puppet form.

She’ll be scripted by GOP writers. Not to say it still won’t be gloriously mindless.

But it would’ve been the same from any of them. This is one of those jobs GOP leadership in Congress don’t want but the Base has this nutso idea that any Dem president, especially this niCLANG, has to be rebutted immediately or else they’ll have to expend a bunch of time and Will-Krauthammer effort wrassling away what the president actually said.

The job always goes to someone the party’s trying to test-fit into the role of presidential mouthpiece (if it’s a presidential election year) or else to some new “rising starlet” before she says one too many crazy things in the chamber or to media reporters to be considered serious by anyone outside of the Base. In a way, this is a special tribute to precisely how nuts the GOP thinks Joni is - that it’s now or never for the hognuts gimmick; usually, they wait out a SotU or so in hopes she might work out the inevitable disqualifying gaffe.

Also, this is about Hillary, cuz from now on everything’s about Hillary.

So was Rubio’s.
Ernst’s will make his performance seem Emmy-worthy.

I wonder if she will draw the job of counting the ballots at the Iowa GOP’s Straw Poll next summer. Considering the range of candidates and those that vote it could be deemed a nut count in more ways than one.

Because he brings up that missing “N” in all the wrong ways.

Good - give that horse’s ass national exposure - let everyone see who the idiot Iowans voted in to replace Harken.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. This is seriously like letting Bachman deliver the SOTU response, only I’m betting Bachman would sound far less crazy.

she said. “I never, never imagined that I would have this opportunity.”

They pick the newbies who are too stupid to realize the pit they are being thrown into. Enjoy your “opportunity” while you can still believe it is one, fool.

Wow, this is going to be entertaining. The GOP trots out a woman as if to say, looky here, we got women too. Telling you right now I think there’s a good chance of the 2016 ticket being Aqua Buddha Paul and this hog castrating piece of work.
