Poor Bastards Throughout The Kingdom Awaken To The Stench Of Fresh Santorum In The Air

The recent republican primaries held in Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota just go to show that the ever-vigilant editorial staff here at the Poor Bastard's Gazette can never afford to rest on our laurels.

As Republican Poor Bastards throughout the Kingdom of The Poor Bastard continue to weigh in with their worthless opinion of which remaining crackpot candidates should be the presidential nominee of the Grand Old Poor Bastard Party, the plot only continues to thicken...Just when Rank & File Poor Bastards thought they had finally rid themselves of that awful stench of stale santorum on their shoes, the ugly specter of a fresh pile of santorum raised its head once again as the republican presidential hopefuls brought their traveling roadshow to the pathetically conservative and hopelessly ignorant states of Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota.

As Poor Bastards head back to the rock pile with a morning-after hangover from the most recent republican primaries, they find themselves faced with the dreadful prospect of Rick-who is that Dan Savage guy anyway-Santorum, back in the presidential spotlight and squarely in a position to give Mitt-The Glit-Romney a run for his money as the republican presidential nominee in 2012.

Riding the coat-tails of the Santorum Sweep in the redneck triangle, right-wing Poor Bastards are salivating over the prospect of fresh santorum in their midst....Meanwhile the rest of the Poor Bastard population is trying to figure out how to get the foul stench of fresh santorum out of the air.

For those of you who are not regular readers of The Poor Bastard's Gazette and therefore may not be aware of the santorum Google Bomb phenomenon we suggest you read the following article at The Huffington Post-

Presidential Hopeful and Right-Wing Poor Bastard Rick-who is that Dan Savage guy anyway-Santorum is seen here doing his impersonation of a gay symphony conductor.




If the results of the recently concluded primaries in the redneck triangle prove anything, it is that conservative Poor Bastards throughout the Kingdom of The Poor Bastard are hopelessly lost in their quest for true leadership, having gone from bad to very bad to the absolute worst possible choice for a candidate, in Rick Santorum.

If anything good can be said of Santorum, we haven't heard it said here at The Gazette. And if anything bad can be said about the buffoon from beyond the realm it can probably be summed up in the words of Santorum himself, as evidenced by this article posted at the thinkprogress.org website-

Meanwhile Inquiring Poor Bastards everywhere are asking, "...is that a turd Rick-who is that Dan Savage guy anyway-Santorum is biting into?"

Green Acres v. Petticoat Junction: Republican Primary Heats Up!

You would think that since they are still living in the Neanderthal era down there in South Carolina, it would take a bit longer than 24 hours for all those Poor Bastard republican voters in the Palmetto State to chisel their ballots out of stone, but apparently not.

Maybe the pig farming Corn-Pone Poor Bastards in Iowa could learn a  thing or two about how to run an election from the tobacco farming Malingering Poor Bastards in South Carolina, since it has taken them the better part two weeks to count the last 34 votes in the Iowa presidential caucus.

Word around the campfire is that they had to work extra hard to "find" just enough votes to maneuver Santorum to the top of the shit-heap!...Which may explain the long delay in finalizing the vote tally since it can be pretty hard to find something that may not even exist!

As of Sunday morning election officials in Petticoat Junction, South Carolina are reporting that Poor Bastard Newt Gingrich has logged a resounding victory over Mitt-The Glit-Romney in the South Carolina republican presidential primary...Meanwhile the Corn-Pone Poor Bastards in Iowa have apparently put their heads together and figured out how to count to 34...which is the margin of victory they now say separates Artificial Poor Bastard Mitt Romney and Homophobic Poor Bastard Rick-who is that Dan Savage guy anyway-Santorum, after almost two weeks of trying to tally up the final vote count in Hooterville!

What all this means for the rest of the Rank & File Poor Bastards throughout The Kingdom of The Poor Bastard is not clear at this time. But we have learned some important lessons over the last few weeks, so let's review!

-Pathetic Homophobic Poor Bastard Rick Santorum's belated "victory" in the Iowa caucus has shown not only that the Broke-D*ck Poor Bastard republicans over in Green Acres are even dumber than Barney Fife...But perhaps more importantly it confirms just how difficult it is to get rid of that messy Santorum when you step in a big pile of it wearing your Sunday best!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rick%20Santorum

-Mitt-The Glit-Romney's narrow miss in the Green Acres Caucus earlier this month, and his outright shellacking in the Petticoat Junction Primary on Saturday, proves once and for all that right-wing fundamentalist Baptist Poor Bastards always trump right-wing neo-colonial Mormon Poor Bastards who wear funny underwear and do their churchin' up on Saturday....Don't they know that Saturday is the day they run NASCAR races?...Duuuuuh?

Artificial Poor Bastard Mitt-The Glit-Romney is seen here suiting up in the appropriate attire to clean up all that messy Santorum he found himself covered in after the hotly contested Iowa Caucus, which after almost two weeks, officials in Hooterville, IA now say was won by the Homophobic Poor Bastard Rick Santorum - whose biggest claim to fame prior to his narrow victory in the home state of Arnold the Pig, had been the fact that syndicated columnist and outspoken gay rights advocate Dan Savage, had successfully managed to establish Santorum's name as being synonymous with an absolutely nauseating substance which is apparently a by-product of a certain sexual act.

-The whopping margin of victory earned by the degenerate, self-absorbed Congressional Poor Bastard Newt-the man who would be king-Gingrich in the Petticoat Junction Primary confirms two important things about bible-thumping, right-wing republican Poor Bastards in places like South Carolina.

One is that they really do possess a fifteen minute attention span apparently being unable to remember back to the day when their beloved Newter was embroiled in one controversy after another all having to do with which wife had previously been his mistress before he had divorced the current wife, but which didn't occur until after he had started boning his future wife, who in turn would subsequently become an ex-wife as he started cozying up with yet another future wife in the form of a new mistress....or something like that!

The second is that among the Self-Righteous Poor Bastard Class - which are thick as flies at a church picnic or sweating fat ladies at a tent revival in places like South Carolina - hypocrisy and the old double-standard of "do what I say, not what I do", are alive and well among the politically illiterate Indigenous Poor Bastard population!

Congressional Quitter, Serial Adulterer, Failed Monarch and Revitalized Poor Bastard Newt Gingrich reacts to the smell of decaying Santorum on his opponent Mitt-the glit-Romney's shoes...








But perhaps the most enlightening and entertaining excerpt from the weekend's political circus is the fact that at least 1,000 votes were cast by Malingering Poor Bastards in Saturday's Petticoat Junction Primary for the dearly departed and once Aspiring Poor Bastard Herman - I didn't screw no white woman - Cain, even though Hermie had announced his departure from the campaign campaign trail almost two months ago!

While the rest of The Kingdom is asking, "...and why exactly is it that we let them vote?"

Has-Been Poor Bastard Chuck Norris Endorses The Man Who Would Be King!

It has been evident for decades that Has-Been Poor Bastard karate-man Chuck Norris couldn't act his way out of a paper bag - strutting around in front of the camera like he had a hot poker stuck up his ass and mumbling his lines like he was doing a bad impersonation of The Terminator - but apparently the Poor Bastard's punch-drunk brain doesn't work at all based on this latest report from the desk of some backroom Hollywood spin doctor who obviously needs to find a more fulfilling line of work!

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/chuck-norris-endorses-newt-gingrich-224223391.html

It seems the Poor Bastard whose washed-up acting career has included such classic television drivel as "Walker, Texas Ranger" has decided to endorse Newt Gingrich's presidential candidacy after learning that Crackpot Poor Bastard and former razorback governor Mike Huckabee had been officially declared too stupid to run for president.

To add insult to stupidity Kung-fu Carlos has also made the mistake of thinking that the rest of us Poor Bastards actually give a big fat rat's ass about who he feels should be the exalted leader of The Kingdom of The Poor Bastard.

The Grand Poo Ba isn't sure which figure is more pathetic...a has-been, 1970's era d-grade actor who has been relegated to the cable-wonderland infomercial circuit to keep off the unemployment line?

Or a washed-up, bloated male chauvinist political hack from the backwoods of the Peach State; who is seen here dressed for his role as the official Court Jester of the Presidential Poor Bastard Class of 2012!

Whiskey: A Matter Of Principle!

The Poor Bastard's Gazette Joke of The Week once again comes to us from Gary (Studs) Nebgen, a lifelong resident of The Great State of Texas...And while it isn't really a "joke" in the classic sense of the word, it is, none-the-less, classic Poor Bastard Logic in every sense of the meaning!


Gary is a native son of the Texas Hill Country and one of the Original Poor Bastards, who has been one of the Grand Poo Ba's longstanding sidekicks and drinking buddies for the better part of 40 years....

And if I might say so myself, I think ol' Studs Nebgen has outdone himself this time!


WHISKEY

In 1952, Armon M. Sweat, Jr., a member of the Texas House of Representatives, was asked about his position on whiskey. What follows is his exact answer (taken from the Political Archives of Texas):

"If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fiber of my being.

However, if by whiskey you mean the lubricant of conversation, the philosophic juice, the elixir of life, the liquid that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it.

This is my position, and as always, I refuse to compromise on matters of principle."

You have to admit they just don't make Poor Bastards like Armon Sweat, Jr. anymore!

Presidential Poor Bastard Mitt Romney Wears Funny Underwear!

It has been rumored for years that Mormons wear funny underwear as part of some weird religious belief system...Sources even say that Mormons in the military can purchase camouflage Mormon underwear so they have a matched set to go along with their battle fatigues.

The Grand Poo Ba just received this photo from a source who wishes to remain anonymous, showing Mitt Romney and the little lady Ann wearing their matching set of the Emporor's underwear!

Poor Bastards will no doubt appreciate the on-board cod-piece that old Mitt is sporting...

Or as Poor Bastards call it... the "cock-sock!"

Now that's what the editorial staff here at The Poor Bastard's Gazette call a  real "Presidential Looking Poor Bastard!"

Sarah Palin Picks Fight With Critic...

Could the Grand Poo Ba ever get so lucky as to have Nan-Nookie Of The North-Sarah Palin pick a fight with him in the court of public opinion?

Man o' man.....I'm holding my breath!...This could be the big break I need!

The Bell Tolls For Many Presidential Poor Bastards!

Well, as January starts to wind down and Poor Bastards throughout The Realm get back to the business of anointing an Exalted Poor Bastard to lead the down-trodden mass of humanity that H.L. Mencken referred to as "the great unwashed", we see those Perennial Poor Bastards over at the republican primary camp finally beginning to grow road-weary after two-plus years of grinding away on the presidential campaign stump!

The last month or so has brought about a rash of surrenders from the right-wing faction of The Kingdom's political class known as the "republican party." It seems like only yesterday that the campaign trail was littered with Floundering Poor Bastards, the likes of which included such notable personages as-

Sarah-my daughter ain't no drunken teenaged tramp-Palin, http://wonkette.com/448008/riveting-new-bristol-palin-memoir-tells-how-to-get-pregnant-while-drunk

Mitt-I ain't got no "Mormon problem"-Romney, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kd0N_4xM-o 

And the soon to be forgotten-

Herman-I didn't screw no white woman-Cain, http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-11-28/politics/30449419_1_herman-cain-sexual-harassment-accusations-cain-train

The Huntsman camp announced this past weekend that Big John was stepping down to begin putting as much distance as possible between their guy and the Crackpot Poor Bastards in the republican party...with the hope that 2016 might offer a better presidential opportunity for the ex-governor of Utah...Which in the Grand Poo Ba's opinion is the most frightening principality in the Kingdom of The Poor Bastard!

Huntsman's anticipated departure from the campaign trail leaves us with perennial Poor Bastard presidential candidate Ron Paul, who it seems has been running for president since the Grand Poo Ba was in high school...

The nagging nuisance Newt Gingrich, who was disappointed to learn only last week that he wouldn't be allowed to become the official King of the Kingdom of The Poor Bastard...






The Foolish Poor Bastard from the Great State, Texas Governor Rick-Governor Goodhair-Perry, who only this morning publicly defended the young Marines who were caught on video urinating on the corpses of alleged Taliban fighters in Afghanistan....

"Hell-bells" said 'ol Rick, 

"...they's just kids havin' a little fun!....why when I was in college we used to set off M-80 firecrackers under the ass of our roommates when they was takin' a crap...!"

"...hehehe!....boy-howdy them was the good 'ol days!"








And last but not least the Silver-Spoon Poor Bastard Mitt Romney - a true white man among white men - who is all but certain to become the next Presidential Poor Bastard candidate to represent the republicans in their effort to unseat incumbent democratic Poor Bastard Barack O-Blah-Blah-Bama...in what promises to be true media circus in this Romanesque Age of Spectacle which the Rank & File Poor Bastard class find themselves living today!
