Ladies of Rumproast Take to the Radio Waves to Take on the Red States!

Although Betty Cracker and I are trembling with apprehension at the thought of following the hilarious Denise (aka gimmeabreak) and Mrs. Polly, we told Scooter we’d do it and there’s no way to back out now! 

That’s OK because we’re talking Red States and, more importantly, Red State politicians.  Because Betty’s in Florida, Scooter’s in Texas and I’m in Colorado (only a very recent conversion to blue-ish status) so boy, do we know Red State pols!  If you’ve got any favorite wingnut pols you’d like us to address leave it in comments.  At the moment I have my sights on CO state Sen. Dave Schultheis and former Congressman Tom Tancredo.  There’s room for more!

Tune in this evening at 10:30pm Central on Houston’s KPFT, Radio for Peace.  If you’re not in their sizable broadcast range you can click on their “Listen Now” button in the top right corner.

Mrs. Polly and Denise were a riot (MP3 file here), but I’m sure you two can hold your own as well. Good luck tonight! If you have time to take a whack at Rep. Peter “9/11 Exploitation” King, I wouldn’t argue.

1. Sam Brownback. I’m not from Kansas but no one should pass up the chance to ridicule the creep who held up several federal court judge nominations because one of the nominees had a gay friend.

2. Michael Steele. I am from Maryland and ... need I say more?

You could do a whole show on Steele, fellow Marylander.

How about taking a verbal shot or two at Josh Penry, Colo. State Senate Minority Leader and Republican hopeful for Governor.  Despite his age, barely 30, and his undying support for George W. Bush and his well-known leadership skills, he has managed to avoid any questions about military service, and his lack thereof, in Iraq for his entire political career.  I suspect his answer would be that he, like Cheney during Viet Nam, “had better things to do,” or like Jonah Goldberg with respect to Iraq, “he has a family.”

While the pumas are fun to point and laugh at, Jonah Pantload… how do I put this… doesn’t seem to have a conscience.  He should get a good reaming.

I didn’t know Marylanders were in the house.  Perhaps you can make it to Drinking Liberally in DC?  Next week we have Elana Schor talking about her work for TPM.

I do grieve for you red state peoples.

I live/work in Gaithersburg, so getting downtown at 7PM on a weeknight is a challenge.

Taking notes as I read.  Keep ‘em coming!

Understood.  But, hey if you or HTP are around town you can probably squeeze a free beer or two out of me on a Thursday.

Josh Penry is sure to come up when talking about Schultheis and Scott (homosexuality = murder) Renfroe.  Penry’s been pretty much MIA as far as providing any leadership.

Good lord. This is exactly how LAST weekend went to hell. Thursday night, a deadline, a new bottle of Patron…and a pair of erudite Roastazons trading lethal repartee with Scooter, the justice-obsessed Rorshach of Radio.

Now that I see how successful the gals are, I really regret screwing up my own broadcast prospects on KPFT by holding out for a cash deal. Oh, well.

As a kindness, though, I will resist the temptation to suggest another pornographic word-game for this week’s show.

However, any dirt on (former) Colorado Rep. Bob Schaffer would be appreciated. He’s my best friend’s much-despised neighbor, and a douche of a human being. I understand he’s now selling Margarita mixes on TV.

PS: Betty and mar—break a leg!

G’burg??

[Looks around suspiciously]

Thanks for the invite AltHippo. Now all I need to do is chew through the chain holding me to my desk…

Anything that keeps him out of politics works for me.  Although he has a day job now of being on the CO Board of Education. Poor, poor little kids.

@marindenver

Thanks. My understanding is that this guy is a Nimitz-class creep…and I heard that before Josh Marshall exposed him as a Nimitz-class creep. ;->

Roastgurls part deux rock!

I think Florida wins the “which state is reddest” contest hands-down.

I don’t know, Mom is making a very compelling point.

Ok - after a coupla more Colorado stories, its damn close!

Congrats ladies, that was hysterical.

Wow, I’m hooked! Great stuff! I listened to the show that came on right before as well, and liked that too!

This is the first political discussion I’ve actually enjoyed in I don’t know how long. Really, sincerely. Meanwhile, back at PUMA PAC, they’re extolling the virtues of Ann Coulter.

I’m old enough to remember when Spiro T. Agnew was with the Baltimore County Board of Education. Poor, poor little kids, indeed.

Thanks guys.  It was pretty nerve wracking up until we started then it just got fun.  Yes, we all have pretty wingnutty pols in our states.  I wish I could have heard Betty better - it was the same thing as Kevin reported when he was on with Strange. I’ll have to listen to the re-run to hear all of what she said!

BTW Strange, sorry I did not get around to Bob Schaffer - he’s kind of “yesterday” in politics anyway.  Well, so is Tancredo but he made a bigger splash on the national scene with his pseudo-run for president.

Yeah, well it reportedly has vajajay.  That’s all that counts unless you’re Michelle Obama, her mother or Donna Brazille.

I couldn’t hear Polly very well either.

Mar had the awesome phone, must have been one of them old Western Electric five pounders. Betty was a bit hard to hear, but I had the fader wide open.

The ladies had me clutching my pearls with all the goat fucking talk, good thing we have the studio feinting couch when the vapors come on too strong, glen had to revive me with a pitcher of Giblet.

you can probably squeeze a free beer or two out of me on a Thursday.

yikes

I’m trying to envision that.

Talk about a strange apparatus

Sorry, Scooter but goats and myiq1/2u just go together SO WELL.  It’s hard to pass up that opportunity.
