Roadside Political Pun-ditry in Ely, NV….

Share article:

It’s just a small town somewhere in the middle of Nevada, but the top-notch political pun-ditry we caught on display around the town of Ely (pop. 4,041), could make all the difference this November…

Heheh…It sez “butt” instead of “but.” Get it? Harry Reid is a “butt”! heheh…

And if you think that’s good stuff, on the side of the trailer — if you park your car and walk over to it, since the letters are pretty small — you’ll find some slightly more substantive political wisdom and criticism, apparently from someone named Jack Norcross. These thoughts are even more convincing, since they rhyme! (Sort of, though there are some metering problems)…

We’d be delighted to see Reid removed as Majority Leader, as it’s difficult to argue with stanza the third above. BUTT surely someone here in NV can make a better argument for it, no?

And while we’re on the topic, since it’s not too early to start discussing it, should Reid be removed, who would you like to see as the new Dem leader in the Senate?

    Well at least Mr. Norcross isn’t the average teabagger: His misspelling is deliberate, his vocabulary is large enough to accomplish rhyming, he approaches his ‘mission’ with some creativity, he doesn’t invoke a vengeful Deity and there are no racist epithets or guns in sight. I’d be willing to have a beer and a long talk with him but I can’t say that about 99% of the teabaggers or FOX pundits 🙂

    I love to listen to the haters talk about Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi. They are always like, “God I hate that person! They are just awful!” And then when you ask why they don’t really have an answer. “They are a big lying bastards that lie about everything,” or something to that effect. It is a purely emotional reaction elicited by all of the right-wing hate speech on fox and the radio. Trying to reason with them is like trying to fly a helicopter through the eye of a needle.

    Chris Hooten @ 2

    I don’t think tea partiers are liars as much as they’ve been lied to…It’s too bad that most tea partiers aren’t motivated to investigate things on their own. Tea partiers seem to be simply easily manipulated folks…some are manipulated by their racism, some by their anger (misplaced) and some simply are victims of authoritarian rhetoric and only do as they are told…

    Chris Hooten@#2, as for Pelosi, 5 words: “Impeachment is off the table”.

    Neither one has done diddly about the Bush admin atrocities. That doesn’t show much leadership in my book.

    both parties need to be outlawed, their leaders imprisoned. Their crimes are voluminous and bloody.

    I wasn’t saying tea partiers were liars. That is what they say about Pelosi and Reid.

    I agree with Norcross on all counts. I was hoping he was a Democrat. It’s going to take more a semi truck load of complaints for the Democrats to field another candidate for this corrupt and ineffective Senator.
