Reasons To Feel Good You’re Republican
By Mitch Berg
Not that I need to dig that hard, of course. But sometimes, things just fall into your lap.
From MPR’s “Loophole” blog, Jeff Horwich writes:
The other day at our weekly brainstorming meeting, a producer friend of ours mentioned that his female friends were all a-twitter about Rahm Emanuel (Obama’s new Chief of Staff)…Evidently the swooning has begun…[as in leftysphere articles] heralding “our sexy, angry, sexy, evil chief of staff designate.” A writer on Gawker invokes the phrase “the cute little guy.”
And someone has taken to Yahoo! Answers to pose the question “Anyone else think Rahm Emanuel is sexy?” The consensus, after 10 responses: Two snaps up.
I have never been prouder of my party.
Well, almost never.
I guess if Sarah Palin can be turned so instantly into a sex symbol, why not Rahm Emanuel?
Jeff Horwich is usually a very sharp guy. I don’t know if caring for a newborn has warped his mind, or if it’s just working in the Taj Ma Kling day in and day out…

Weren’t these same people gushing over one of Clinton’s guys eight years ago? They made it a plot point in an episode of “Friends” in the first or second season.

You mean you don’t have the Janet Reno pinup calendar hanging in your cubicle, Badda? Shame on you!

If you didn’t need to find reasons, then why are you spouting them?
“I’m not one to call you a liar, others might, and I might not disagree, but I wouldn’t call you a liar” – what a load of crap.
BTW – Mitch- here’s a really really good reason to feel good about your economic theories..

Worst retail slump on record. You had control of the economy, your philosophy was given free reign, result = disaster. Nuff said, go snuggle up in bed and tell yourself your little fairy tales some more, it’s all you’ve got left.

At long last Peev, go take a flying leap. There is not one post you can resist ascending your tiny little soapbox and preaching as if you have something important to say, when you never, EVER do.
That, and you’re a complete and utter moron.

Mitch had control of the economy?
Hey, Mitch, can I borrow ten bucks?

Reason #139415 to feel good about being Republican: peeve and AC are Democrats and the thought of sharing anything above sharing the same genus with them is repulsive.

If THAT is all you have to be proud of your party for, then that’s pretty pathetic.
Not to mention its repulsive to take my ideals and my politics [or the ideals and politics of others who share my opinion] any less seriously than your own based upon ONE post.
You and your peers are ridiculously small minded, and that is why your party has become a national joke. Have fun being irrelevant.

You had control of the economy, your philosophy was given free reign..
Really? A full time job in St Paul and running this country’s economic system? Mitch, how do you fit it all in?
Seriously, Peev, you’re such a disingenuous putz.

Hey Mitch! Can I be Treasury Secretary for a couple of days? Just long enough to get my “Blog Stimulus” package through? I’ll even send Penema a couple of bucks.

That’s a riot coming from someone of the party whose motto is “Tolerance for EVERYTHING, as long as you agree with US”
Leftist fascism has never been more prevalent than it is today.

I suspect CWord thinks Rahm is sexy too. I don’t know if that makes me “ridiculously small minded”, but I still can’t help picturing CWord munching Cheetos and cursing the monitor.

No, you’re ridiculously small-penised, Kerm.
