Deep-Fried GOP Iowa Debate LiveBlog

Batter Dipped

Yes, I forgot Pawlenty. Who hasn’t?

Watch the cornfest livestream at America’s Center for Ijitprop.  Will Gary Johnson’s charisma suck all the vitality out of Huntsman? Please submit a list of phrases to get drunk by, since going through this sober would work nerves I haven’t used since I was the bouncer for a drag queen’s dressing room.

Weigel Iowa Hilarity also, too. TPM has a line-up, and actual information, you know. That’s not why you come here, though is it?

Two big noises are, of course, conspicuously absent. And how the Sarahnoid Griftophrenics love it!

Festivities begin at 8:45 EST. Corndogs at attention, troops!

I think I’ll pass the evening watching paint dry.

Well, I’m going to watch, dammit, because I’m so gosh-darn passionate.

Breath is bated.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Sarah Palin ran across the stage and dumped confetti all over the other candidates, like that crazy Rip Taylor guy?

Sarah is SOOO not in it to win it, just yet!

Paint schmaint!  This is the Blingee of the Year!

I’m in.

I assumed the Live Chat comment widget below the Fox *hack putt* livefeed was infested by chipmunks, but it turns out it’s just set to chitter every time a wingnut channels a response directly into our amygdalas. You can turn that off by clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom. (Unfortunately, there appears to be no such option for the wingnuts themselves.)

Please submit a list of phrases to get drunk by

A few Suggestions:

“Repeal Obamacare”
“Sanctity of Life”
“Tax Cuts”
“Gold Standard” (something for the Ron Paul fans)
“Christian Nation”
“Job Creators”
Any reference to Reagan

Plus Ijitprop and Sarahnoid Griftiphrenics.  I need a basket for harvesting these stealable gems.

Phrases to drink by:

Obama Downgrade?

@YAFB — I reached for my gun when I heard that. I thought the NSA had me hacked.

Phrases to stay sober by:  bin Laden

F&B Dve, you’re on fire!

Thanks, Mr. W, feel free. And as to Blingees, moar flags = blingee nirvana.

The Star-Spangled Banner was the Blingee of ‘76!

I’m going to eat a pretzel every time one of them goes droppin’ those terminal g thangs. If I choke, it’ll be quite ironic, and you are all permitted to laugh.

It’s like sitting in a traffic jam, waiting to pass the accident scene. I don’t want to look at the carnage, but I just have to peek. Do you think they’ll attack each other or will they just compete to see who’s got the best zinger?

Also: Job creators. That way I’ll get drunk faster.

F&B Dve, you’re on fire!

I’ll stand him an a on the house.

OTOH, maybe the chat widget will be a welcome diversion:

Comment From Roger Miller: 
This is better than football

Dead these 19 years, Roger Miller is easily amused.

Comment by Jewish Steel on 08/11/11 at 08:04 PM

Put aside the talking points, Michele! Try going unscripted and see how you do.

Leading on crashing the economy into a brick wall~~Yay!

One Term President. Can I drink anyway?

Wonderful~ the Game Show Host got gonged!

This is going to be delightful.

“I’m not gonna eat Barack Obama’s dog food.”

You GO, Raging Mittens!

“I’m not gonna eat Barack Obama’s dog food.”

Would you eat it on a car? Would you eat it near or far?

Paul said “failed monetary standard” or something.  Is that the same as “gold standard”?  I’m drinking anyway!

Ron Paul swings for the ephus pitch, and misses.

“I’m not gonna eat Barack Obama’s dog food.”

This will come as welcome news for Bo.

“I’m not going to eat the dog food that my dog’s not eating because I strapped him to the roof of my car.” #AmesDebate

Trick question to Huntsman: You’ve been running for president for three months now, and you still haven’t won. What’s with that?

“Speaker Gingrich, some of the people on this stage have run big companies, some have started companies, some have closed down big companies—-”

Why is Tim Pawlenty wearing Mitt Romney’s suit and tie?

I finally figuresd out who Pawlenty reminds me of.

Ta-DA!

T-Paw will mow your lawn!

Wait till Dan Savage gets hold of that.

Pawlenty disses Bachmann. He’s toast. He’ll never again be able to walk DC after dark without looking over his shoulder.

When re-election operatives said they were going highlight Mitt’s weirdness what they meant is they were going to quote him verbatim and in context.

“Why yes, I called Congresswomen Bachmann a skank. But I think we ALL agree that the real skank is Barack Obama.”

Uh-oh. Streaker on the pitch.

Comment From Jake Simon: 
reading these comments is hilarious. i wish intrade was legal in the US so i could bet thousands on obama’s reelction. none of these clowns have a chance

Comment From Kyle Holtzman: 
FoxNews Censors these comments to much.

Really?

Comment From Trent Jackson:
Ron paul needs to say, “I’m against Obamacare because I’m first in line for that end of life counseling !” Say it ! Say it!

MORE ONE-ON-ONE FIGHT SETUPS, PLEASE!

Newt’s doing his Mr. Snitty impersonation. Now it’s a fistfight with Wallace!

Newt squalls anew! How can Fox Newsboobs be mean to meeeeeeee?

Newt thinks that’s badgering, but HONEYWALLACE DON’T CARE!!!

Huntsman - “we created a flat tax in Utah.”  Hell, Colorado Repubs created a flat tax here years ago and the economy’s been in the shitter every since!

Cain has betrayed Our Country by learning something about Mooslins!

Murkins kin get PHDs too!! (What’s a PHD anyway?)

America’s got to learn to take a joke.

And now, Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich…..

Cain gets my quote of the night so far:

America’s got to learn how to take a joke.

Such a versatile slogan. Just a shame he didn’t have the cojones to bring the house down with:

If they can’t take a joke, fuck ‘em.

JINX, Mrs. P!

Cain gets my quote of the night so far:

 

America’s got to learn how to take a joke.

Hahahahaha!  Standing in the unemployment line just begs for laughs.

Single-malts or pints of ale, Brit?

Mitt: Pay no attention to those tax hikes behind the curtain!

NOBODY WILL ADMIT THAT THEY RAISED TAXES!!  Even in the face of compelling evidence.  Wankers!

Getting a good grade in economics from the Cato Institue is like getting a good grade in cooking from the Packer School of Culinary Innovation.

Bachmann - Pawlenty MADE me raise taxes, dammit!

Standard & Poors should downgrade our behinds to C- just on the basis of these chuckleheads’ dubious attachment to reality.

Single-malts or pints of ale, Brit?

A Jennings Cumberland Ale for me, but choose your poison.

Wait, we have to down a pint each time? *catches up*

Ooh. Ooh. It’s handbags between Bachmann and Pawlenty.

T-Paw brought it to Crazy Eyes! It’s like watching a gerbil attack a lynx.

If your first-born child were drowning, and a tax cut were also drowning—-

wait, they actually went there.

W00t!
 

Comment From Tyler Armstrong: 
Newt and Hillary for president and vice president

RomneyCare was right for Massachusetts, but ObamaCare is—-well, exactly like it,except not, cause what gave Obama the RIGHT to impose it on our We the Peoples???

Dr. Ron: the corporations have screwed the American patient which would totally not happen if they weren’t regulated!

Why anybody pays attention to the lovable old crank will forever mystify me.

Just a thought: Can you imagine if Snooki was on that stage tonight?

Santorum - God is against health care reform so the states OR the feds can’t impose anything against moral law on we the peepul.  Or . . . something?

There’s always a line for the ladies’ room.

But when Brett asked if someone was missing, who thought it was a coy reference to SSSOMEBODY ELSE?

Extra points if the first person who sprang to mind was Paul Ryan.

Newt doesn’t know what to do about Libya, but FOX IS AN OBAMA SURROGATE!!

Newt’s coming across as cranky as McCain.

Wow.  So Obama appointed Huntsman ambassador to China and now Huntsman’s taking shots at Obama for not knowing as much about China as he does?  Bite. The. Hand.

Newt doesn’t know what to do about Libya

“Bomb it” wasn’t an option?

I don’t even know why we’re bothering with debates and straw polls:

update from n ohio facebook poll .palin wins AGAIN!!!!perry,bauchmann 2 and 3!host today rightly predicted perry was in,he also garanteed palin WILL run!but i already knew that,but the doughting thomasas should listen up!he also had huckabee pegged!!!

Am I the only one who thinks Ron Paul sounds like Tootsie?

Am I the only one who thinks Ron Paul sounds like Tootsie?

Now you mention it ...

What I learned about foreign policy. By Herman Cain.

Well, I know a lot more than I used to. Foreign policy is connected to a lot of things. One of those things is domestic policy. Here’s what I’ve learned about domestic policy…..

T-Paw has a mad at Iran because they don’t treat the gays well!

Perhaps his glitter-bombing was effective after all.

Props to Paul for going off on one at Santorum.

Newt thinks that’s badgering, but HONEYWALLACE DON’T CARE!!!


I was suffering heartburn when I started to quaff my high-end crafted ale and then that appeared and that high-end crafted ale went down the wrong slot so now I have heartburn with that fire in the chest feeling.

I just realized I can’t tell Pawlenty from Santorum. Please take half my comments with a grain of salt. I don’t know which half, though.

and those 4th of July pinwheels are killing me, almost as good as the pots and pans on the heads of the Orly-ites.

I just realized I can’t tell Pawlenty from Santorum.

I had to double-check! I wonder if they have the same problem?

HB, I forgot to propose to you for your appearance on a previous thread, but consider the question popped, Internet-wise.

I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman, or some equation like that involving assorted variables of “man,” “woman,” and “one.”

Curse my innumeracy!

I think I’m watching the replay right now, and I am actually able to laugh about all this for some damn reason. Huntsman sounds so sane.

@kre8tr, she’s pretty much been doing that to all the candidates for weeks now anyway. Not to mention her poor deluded marks.

Mitt contains many minimitts!

He loves those unemployment programs he’ll cut.

That pundit panel on Fox News is about the most pathetic bunch of hacks I’ve seen in a while. Pat Caddell? Please!

Everybody thinks Ron Paul’s a stopped clock, but we’re all in different time zones.

There will be a short pause while Huntsman demonstrates a measure of sanity, which goes over like a lead balloon.

Luckily, that didn’t last long. Now, to sum up, THEY LOVE THIS COUNTRY!

Love!

And that’s why they were sorry that they had to try running it headlong into an economic brick wall, but it was out of LOVE!

Okkay, apparently that wasn’t a replay. Doug Schoen, I feel sorry for him, because he is SUCH a schmuck.

Mrs. Polly, I really don’t get why Huntsman is a ‘pub. He sounded too sane.

This was one of the best Obama campaign ads I’ve ever watched.

wait, chocolate-covered bacon!

I think Schoen and that woman beside him are about to come to blows.

The studio talking heads do seem somewhat disgruntled with the field, as well as the format and the questions.

Santorum gets my award for Slimeball of the Night. If I was to pick a winner? Obama. They got nothing.

@YAFB

Say it with the DeNiro voice: “You got nothin’!”

My livestream died, so I couldn’t see the Half-Dead Panel. But Michele’s on Hannity! We have to pay the Piper, she says.

Why is she attacking Sarah’s Chiiild?????

I thought watching gibbering loons would be more entertaining. Even with the They Live sunglasses, I was bored.

I meant to add my thanks for your making event sparkle; I’ll never leave the boat again.

You’re very welcome, Twinky P. Your appreciation is chocolate-covered bacon to me.

Mrs. P, sorry, gotta decline. Len is done painting the house.

Hey, that deep-fried butter is sick and depraved in a Midwestern way, but I think it’s only fair to point out that you can buy chocolate-covered bacon in very posh chocolate shops here in Pinkostan.

I know it’s late in the thread, but just in case you’re checking it out, you, Mrs. Polly, are the QUEEN of the Blingee-makers! Blingee as art-form - time for Blingee workshops: advertise your skills on http://www.freelance.com
