Yeah, TOTALLY couldn't watch that whole thing.

Thanks for sharing.

Man, that reminds me: I need to send a check to Al Franken.

Um, I think it's a joke. :-)

Jesus Christ. This liberal will give them a Christmas present they'll NEVER forget. Fuckers.

And since we're on the topic of the 12 Days of Christmas (a tune I usually detest) I was listening recently to a recording of Joan Sutherland's version. Stunning. It was a revelation to me that the song doesn't have to suck.

@5 - There is no context in which that song doesn't suck. I think you're just trying to lure someone into listening to it again. Shame on you.

I don't think so, Jason. Irony, like reality, has a well-known liberal bias.

@6--No, no. I'm serious. It was a delightful rendition on some record that my dad let me borrow--some Goodyear Tire (or something) promotional record of Christmas music (I know, I know.) I was floored.

"assbooger"?

Uh, Dan, they're referring to the Democrats' failed attempt to pass a bill changing to a card check system for workplace union approval, which would've replaced secret ballot voting.

Joan Sutherland is God. She could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

@11: Assboogers (pl. noun): Those annoying lumps of shit that just hang on despite every attempt to remove them and make you feel gross just thinking about their existence. Synonyms: Klingons, dingleberries. Sounds like a rather appropriate description.

It's official Republican propaganda, so hidden behind the video is probably some open or closet liberal doing all the editing. It still amazes me that this stuff works on anyone. It's like a Stephen King short story where only Republicans can see truth or logic in Republican propaganda or Fox news. It almost feels like Dark City.

$4.00 a gallon for gas? WTF??!! That was George Bush who gave us that. Remember what gas was when Clinton was President?

None of them are good, but they have the worst singers, the ones that aren't even on beat, singing the earliest verses that get repeated over and over. Are they TRYING to look incompetant?

I couldn't get past the 6th day and I like to think I have a pretty high tolerence. Seriously, that was shit!! Oh yeah, and I agree with #18... I distinctly remember gas hovering around $1/gallon in '98 when clinton was in office.

I highly recommend watching it again and never taking your eyes off the "two liberal Udalls" girl in the front row, left. Watch as she is continually reminded to smile by someone off-camera. She instantly and terrifyingly smiles for a half-second and then goes back to looking just plain terrified. Hilarious.

Other than that, I heartily second Dan's BLARPH.

God, that "six troop funding cuts" chick BLOWS! Someone burn her paycheck!

@ 21...against my better judgement, I took your advice (watched it AGAIN...painful) and laughed my ass off. While the others are attempting to sing about these terrible things the liberals have done, she flashes a big cheezy grin.
I think the blonde behind her is pinching her ass, they are secretly lovers and are planning on taking "Hillary's Woodstook Museum" back for a threesome.

Why do I feel the need to torture myself. Dan warns me and I go ahead and listen to it anyways. I must need help.

I wound up watching it THREE times! :-(
I listened to it once, then called my mom in to watch. When it was over, my mom called my dad in so HE could watch. Our dog followed my dad in, and she just sat in the middle of the floor with this miserable look on her face like "WTF is going on?!"

Bush is going to step in and fire the Writers Guild and replace them with this pack of talent.

I'm as conservative as they get and even I got annoyed with this! The last video I turned off this fast was 2 girls and 1 cup!

I have come to the conclusion that these people (Bush supporters, arch conservatives and rightwing Christians) live in parallel universe. There is a serious contender for their candidacy that thinks the world was created a few thousand years ago. Earth to Repukes! HELLO!~HELLO!

When they predict "just wait to see what Democrats do to your paycheck next year" it sounds like they are predicting a Democrat win big-time. We should be so lucky!! Vote Dem! Vote to IMPEACH!

So you don't have to watch it yourself:

12 Senators failing
11% approval
10 paychecks burning
90,000 freezing
No more secret ballots
700 billion in new spending
Six troop funding cuts
Hillary's Woodstock Museum
Four Bucks a gallon
Al Franken ranting
Two liberal Udells
A tax hike for every family

pathetic republican hypocrites doing what they must do to get some attention. yawn.

Why not look into the cult associations of two of your presidential candidates? I am Not sure which cult is worse - Mormons or Baptists.

America is so done with you folks. buhbye

If you don't like 4 dollar a gallon gas lose the SUV. How is wasting gas a conservative value? Remember converve is part of the word conservative.

My ears! Can it get any clearer that republicans are soooo out of tune with America?

Posted by Rob | December 16, 2007 6:01 PM

Um, didn't we see the biggest rise in the price of gas under the current GOP presidency??? As I recall, I was paying just over a dollar a gallon when Bush took office. The price had held steady under Clinton.

And, it's amazing how they hate Hillary, putting her in the most prominent spot.

No more secret ballots probably pertains to the recent proposed changes in the voting for/against unions & the removal of it being a secret ballot initiative. Look into the Employee Free Choice Act or "card check" recognition. Idiots.

Gas prices have gone up during the Republicans. Pathetic.
