I don't know. The reactions
I don't know.
The reactions to this ARE funny. No doubt.
But unless you were planning on hurting Haslam's chances, I'd say a little less comedic subtlety might have been advisable.
I'm beginning to agree a bit
I'm beginning to agree a bit with sugar here. We should all remember that Republican humor-impaired thing.
Although if KV was "obscure" yesterday, it sure ain't today.
Good job
...and I call myself a troll. Fine pot stirring going on there.
haw!
sounds more like squeals of delight that SOMEONE in the media was actually talking about the republican run for governor.
since the tea party folks have been holding conventions across our fair state, then maybe it's the republicans who are obscurities.
Damn Good One,R!
I took the bait..hook,line & sinker!
Sent an email to a friend..WTF is R doing?
The reply..It's a joke..you idiot!!
Yep..the humor tag should of givin me a clue.
I took the bait ..hook,line & sinker!!!!!!
And it looks like I ain't the only one that did.
Damn good one R..damn good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, congrats to R.
I got the satire, but I was thinking that I would have made it a little more obvious (see this coming Sunday's Snark Bites for an example of "more obvious" on a similar theme), like say use "liberal plot" in place of "liberal agenda." I thought some people wouldn't get it. A couple of hours later, seeing the reaction, I realized "Oh, yeah. Some people won't get it."
Darn good job, R.
The Rethugs ain't got no sense of humor!
Way to go, Randy...I got it...you proved my point, albeit full of incorrect use of negatives.
They cannot laugh at themselves, and refuse to think that we should be allowed to laugh at 'em! And apparently neither do some of our left-leaning friends get tongue-in-cheek sarcasm!
Thanks...from a liberal, left-wing Democrat/OFA member who just loves a good joke! And yes, anyone who accepted Randy's satire as fact, bless your little heart!
I see Randy and his
I see Randy and his "endorsement" made the 11 p.m. news last night.
More giggles from me.
