After exposing Cheney as a robot, paper calls for boycott of ‘Commie-sota’

The Wall Street Journal opining about alleged “funny business” in the Minnesota Senate recount is one thing. But when the Weekly World News — the paper behind exposés about Dick Cheney’s robotic innards or George W. Bush’s alien endorsement — weighs in on Loon State politics, it’s time to take note. Via the rightwing blog network Look True North, we find a piece by Ed Anger in the online version of the supermarket tabloid that calls for a boycott of “Commie-sota” over the election of Al Franken to the U.S. Senate. “Our Founding Fathers didn’t die at the Boston Tea Party just so a four-eyed squirt like Franken could get himself elected,” he writes. “If George Washington were alive today, he’d slap every idiot in Minnesota with a cold slab of dried out fish, except they’d probably like it! Those people eat deep fried Snickers bars and build statues out of butter to win prizes.”

In the past year I’ve used a lot of words to describe Al Franken, both online and in conversation. I am a little embarrassed that the Weekly World News beat me to the best descriptor of them all: “some potty mouth ‘comedian’.”

Also, I did not realize the Weekly World News continued writing after it came off the shelves in 2007. Bully for MnIndy for bringing this to my attention.

Say Art…talk about a “potty mouth”. Have you forgotten Cheney
telling Sen Leahy to “go fuck himself” when he was confronted regarding
his blatant conflict of interest regarding Haliburton? Thought so!

I had not. They are all potty mouths, really. McCain has some of the best, most creative gems, I’d say–especially his “trollop” comment to his wife some years back.
