Es Muy Romantico

Be still mi beating corazon! The Unforgivable Unforgettable Unapologetic Mexican, Nezua Lim?n Xolagrafik-Jonez, has charmed his wicked way into the General’s sanctum sanctorum and what’s more, he’s telling the hot and steamy story of how he breached those stout Christian defences with his silky skills.

I’m picturing Antonio Banderas seducing Tommy Lee Jones… Oooh dear, I’ve come over all shivery and Salma Hayek.

Anyway. Get a grip, woman. The story so far:

AY DIOS MIO, I’M IN! Inside the walls of El General’s fortress. It took some work, but with great grace and determination, I have prevailed. And never before has such a world-weary and unapologetic wanderer as your narrator seen as well-guarded a bunker as this. The good Christian General’s fortifications are, for sure, a gleaming and splendiferous example of the manliest of American architecture! It is little to wonder that he speaks with such booming and heteropowered tones that he does. ?Claro! I tip my sombrero in his direction, and of all well-decorated hombres, he knows as well as anyone that I mean that in the manliest of ways.

[…]

IT ALL BEGAN ON A HOT AND FATEFUL DAY. I was out rounding up recruits for the glorious Reconquista plot wherein all Mexicans on the continent will communicate using subtle rustlings of Holy dried jalape?o peppers that have been clasped to the chest of liberal American virgins. Unfortunately, Michelle Malkin, Lou Dobbs, and Pat Buchanan seem to have stumbled onto our plan to organize as a massive group of starving, hunted, underpaid people, and are trying to warn the rest of the country. This will make the Great Pepper Plano de la Patria that much harder to bring to fruition, and our alliance with Mexiran may suffer. I must preempt these soggy pundits and thus, the great Aztl?n (heretofore secret and well-guarded) plot will be revealed?in it’s entirety and for the first time?in issue Three of the celebrated mag de la gente, which I expect all good soldader@s to purchase in solidarity! Using American media, we can communicate at fifteen times the speed of dried jalape?o, and thus stymie the efforts of these antagonists.

So there I was, scouting for hombres to join up and I spotted El General at the bar. He was standing with a few muscled and well-armed compa?eros, and I can only assume they were part of his vaunted militia, a force not unknown to me and my amigos. We glared at each other, as all utterly-heterosexual soldiers do in such a situation. We understood immediately that there was something fated. Was it combat? Was it a death? Was it glory?

Thus I Refute Thee, Overrated Ageing Drunk Popinjay

Pandagon reports that apparently Christopher Hitchens, the lesser-talented and drink-soused sibling of that well-known cheap demagogue Peter, reckons in the latest Vanity Fair ( why do they keep employing him? Has he got compromising pictures?) that there’re no funny women and in fact we are just incapable of being funny, ever.

Oh yeah?

More Foley Jokes

The Republicans can alternately squirm and insinuate, bluster and intimidate all they want to: this comedy’s going to run and run and run.

Why did Mark Foley resign? To get over his 16 year old crack habit.

What does Foley want to do when gets out of rehab? Start fresh and
turn over a new page.

And there’s these from TV:

“Former Florida Congressman Mark Foley has resigned over allegations
he sent explicit emails to underage boys. What is it with Congress? If
they’re not grabbing your wallet, they’re grabbing your ass.” Jay
Leno

“How about that Florida congressman Mark Foley? Whoa. At least the
Democrats wait until the interns are 18.” David Letterman

“The Republicans reacted quickly. They transferred Foley to a
different parish.” David Letterman

“The Foley saga quickly sent leaders of the North American Man-Boy
Love Association, or Congress, into action.” —Jon Stewart

“This is like the worst thing to happen to congressional Republicans
since last Thursday. … Most people think GOP stands for Gay Old
Pedophile.” —Jay Leno

“ABC is reporting that Mark Foley interrupted a vote on the House
floor, stopped the House floor vote, so he could have online phone sex
with a 16-year-old. Say what you want about Bill Clinton — he could
sit at his desk and have sex and work at the same time.” —Jay Leno

If public derision were any guide, the Republican congress would be dead in the water come November – Leno and Letterman are no flaming liberals. I even heard Richard Viguerie, Arch-conservative and money man, say on the BBC this morning using the ‘they’re not real conservatives’ argument that conservative voters should not vote for incumbent Republicans because of the Foley cover-up. I’m sure there’s more, much more to come out.

At the moment the media is concentrating on male pages and Republicans, but soon they’ll get jaded, remember who their paymasters are, and start looking for Democrats and female pages. The Democrats’d better be confident they have a clean house before they do.

Meanwhile we’ll feel free to yuk it up at the Right’s expense. British comedian John Oliver, on the Daily Show:

‘Everyone knows that Congress people are assigned to committees based on their great weakness. Why would Senator Ted Stevens, a man more comfortable in the horse and buggy era, be in charge of regulating the Internet? Which he believes is a series of tubes – ” a series of tubes though which other congressmen can reach through and fondle 16-year-olds.” ‘
