Why does it take a comedian less than a minute to destroy a Republican?

Comedy doesn't destroy anyone.

Most folks who don't know any better tends to think it does, though.
 
No doubt about it. Colbert turned a little known Congressman into a national laughingstock here.
 
Of course the perfect answer to Cobert would have been for him to say:

"No, I am sure I can't. And it is all because we don't have them posted in public buildings. See what I mean???"

Never have I seen a politician fuck himself like this. Colbert didn't need to prod him, didn't need to do any funny sarcasm, just ask the right question.

Fuck even I can name 6 of them.
He fucked him twice in that video.

So there's NO building more appropriate for the Ten Commandments to be posted in, huh? NO building? *snicker*
 
Hmm. Not in the right order given in whichever book of the Bible (Exodus?), from memory.

1. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Something about what you can do with your farm animals and shit.

2. There shall be no other gods before me. Something about being really jealous, he has handy lightning bolts etc.

3. Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the earth that the Lord God has given thee.

4. Thou shalt not steal.

5. Thou shalt not lie.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, or donkey or...other posessions.

Damn it, can't remember the other three. And I shouldn't have to because Jesus said all one needs to remember is to slavishly adore him and then treat thy neighbour as thy self.

Elect me!

P.S. Why do judicial officials need to know about the sabbath day and all that stuff?

He still got re-elected. Sigh.


Even better, there are rumors going round in the Republican Party here in Georgia that Westmoreland wants to challenge Saxby Chambliss in the 2008 primary for Chambliss' Senate seat. Word is Westmoreland thinks Chambliss isn't conservative enough.

you made a common mistake and lost a commandment.
#7 is actually split. don't covet the wife is distinct from don't covet the ass.

Isn't Chambliss the dude who thought all Muslims should be arrested after 9/11? I'm probably missing some important details and context (I hope) but really, Chambliss seems to be about as conservative as you can get, evangelically speaking. How is Westmoreland going to up the ante?

Don't answer that.

Then God spoke all these words:
1 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
2 you shall have no other gods before me.
3 You shall not make for yourself an image, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
4 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,
5 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
6 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
7 Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy.
8 Six days you shall labor and do all your work.
9 But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.
10 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.
11 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
12 You shall not murder.
13 You shall not commit adultery.
14 You shall not steal.
15 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
16 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
17 you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Aha, wait I was right! But I missed the image, name-taking and adultery. Which aren't very important anyway, so nyah.

You notice I have seventeen. I think there are still some missing. Something about not drinking goat milk of the slaughtered calf blood from a coconut shell, I think.

Heh, those are the verse numbers probably. The first was just God establishing his authority, Cartman-style.

The Israelites had coconuts in the desert? Shit, living there couldn't be all that bad. I love coconuts! sans goat milk and calf blood, like a good ex-Christian.

It's amazing to watch.
The republicans have provided comedians with a tremendous amount of material over the last six years. I’m sure the democrat controlled Congress will provide their share.

That’s the line I was waiting for. I was disappointed, though not surprised the congressman was not quick enough to think of it.
 
TWB said:

I don't remember that line. God seems pretty anti-anykindofsexthatdoesn'tdirectlycausebabies. So oral sex must be forbidden.

Don't answer that.

Probably not - Chambliss wasn't in the Senate in 2001, although I don't remember if he was in the House or not.

Chambliss is a bit too free with the farm subsidies to satisfy the "drown government in the bathtub" wing of the Republican Party.
