Dear Wonkette,
Bombing starts in five minutes.
Sincerely,
RedState.com
PS - We'd prefer to be Churchill than that socialist FDR. OK? We vote Kaus for FDR.
[UPDATE:] Attn Paultards: We are taking the initiative in this and declaring Pejman the Jew our Field Marshall in the war. Fear us.
By the way, we're not much into occupations these day. War is fine, we're really good at that. Occupation is hell. I hear Field Marshall Yousefzadeh just wants to go with an annihilation strategy.

I think the relevant quote for Wonkette in this war is "the Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan."
Carlos: "What? Were they [Democrats]?"
Seth: "They look like [Democrats]? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires.
"[Democrats] do not explode when sunlight hits them."

it is certainly one of the "rewatchable" flicks, I have probably seen it 20 times on cable.

I watch it at least once every 6 mos. It's one of the few movies that is as good or better than the book.

his best was in Glengarry Glen Ross, along with this movie. Too bad he is a liberal idiot.
Molon Labe!
The man is absolutely a liberal idiot, in addition to being a first class jerk, but he's an uber-talented liberal idiot jerk.
Since RedState is suddenly so Gawker-friendly, I'm sure no on will mind a link to this short Emmy-winning scene. TF gets 50 bonus points for her use of the word "chifferobe."
Glengarry Glen Ross. Brilliant work by Mamet and the whole cast. You might enjoy this David Mamet interview on Charlie Rose. (Note how Mamet talks about how college is a waste of time ("unless you're going into the hard sciences"), and then how Charlie tries to get him to side with the Palestinians against Israel. Heh. The tension begins at the 13:40 mark.)
and here is the famous Glen Garry speech. And yes, the whole movie was amazing, I own it too. Massive Vulgarity warning, we are adults here, it is an R movie, click on it if you can handle it.

Molon Labe!
I almost posted that myself! But then, since I'm already on thin ice here at RS, I decided to follow the sage advice "when in doubt, throw it out."
That clip contains good advice for all the presidential hopefuls. They've got the leads, and first prize is a lot bigger than a Cadillac El Dorado.

Thanks for the link, Doc. Mamet is a genius.
I hear ya,you are thinking right. I think I have written one cuss word in a year and a half. Then again, I gave fair warning, we do it sometimes. If I get banned, oh well, if Jack Lemon could handle it, then I think it is ok :)
Molon Labe!
Boundless is right. My husband took exception to Mamet's pronouncement that it's a waste of time to go to college if you want to pursue a career in the arts.
Easy for him to say!
Rose said it was worth it if they teach "history and civilization, Mament said: but they don't teach that, they teach multiculturalism and anti-Semitism."
Molon Labe!
thank you so much for posting this interview. This was a real education, I recommend everyone watch this. I was stunned by how a "Hollywood type" could be so far ahead of a "cerebral type". If this interview where an IQ test, Mament would be at least 40 points ahead of Rose. You can actually see how Mamet is 3 moves ahead of Rose at every turn. I understand that an interviewer must set up the dialogue, but this was just so obvious. As we know, most Hollywood types are Bush league at best, this Mamet guy really owned Rose, made him like like a chump. Politics aside, this was really insighteful.
Molon Labe!
You're welcome, Doc! Glad you dig it like you do. I was pretty flippin' enthusiastic about it when I first saw it, too!
Mamet is The Man. And so is his Rabbi!
We are already rolling into Berlin. They're out on the perimeters of Stalingrad, Leningrad, et al, fighting off the onslaughts of the Paultards that we've ALREADY administered a grade-A Butt-kicking to.
But hey, if Wonkette wants to play kissy-kissy with RedState for awhile, well, that's about equal to my unspeakably looooooooow standards.
Any excuse will do.

BTW since you are here, is it properly ascribed to you? I worked very hard to find the source, and your name kept coming up.

Hey, I don't mind their corporate overlords. I happen to read Gizmodo, which lead me to read Kotaku, too. Business is business, and Wonkette won't ever get my business, heh.
Cox is no longer Wonkette. She's over at Time Magazine now. Wonkette is now authored by a team of bloggers and is edited by a man, John Clarke Jr.
Six months from now we will be bogged down with fiat money arguments in a gold standard quagrmire. Our supposed allies will be saying "we voted for against it before we voted for it" and that "RedState lied, libertarians died".
Several libbloggettes will march in the street,(actually more of a pouty stroll) and the MSM will report it as "tens of tousands".
And, Hillary will say "I have always fought against Paultards and those who oppose them."
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
I had tears in my eyes reading their piece, and your response.
You guys know how to carry out wars, right? Strategy and the like? Well, you at least know how to start wars, which is fine with us.
That really is cute...
Wonkette: We welcome an insurgency. Bring it on, as your leader would say.
My response: There is no insurgency, only a civil war. We surrender, as your leader would say.
/so much for partnership!

over at that liberal blog....I think it proves my point on an earlier post about the LA congresswoman and her "buckwheat" comment....liberal's are the true racist's.
Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion
...affirms the stereotype that unthinking conservatives can't spell worth a damn.
Repeat after me: Plurals NEVER take apostrophes. Plurals never take apostrophes.
You've even taken it one better than that and somehow added an apostrophe and a random "s" to the adjective "racist." Amazing.
former ally eh. Oh alrighty, then. But;
after our bipartisan dragon killing, what then eh?

could you have at least found a suitable Jooooooooooo whose name we can pronounce. Paul Wolfowitz comes to mind and I think he's unemployed. And he has the added plus of causing heads to explode on the side of our "allies".

Obviously we'll have to do the heavy lifting. They haven't even advanced to threaded comments. It's like Pop Guns vs. Guided Missiles.
The Paultards probably feel more comfortable over there though. Lord knows they weren't able to master "Reply To This" over here.
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful 100 percent.
I'm a liaison from the Gawker Media Empire reporting for duty. Show me those Paultards and I will mow them down with withering sarcasm and condescending disdain.

When did the shooting start? Why did it start? Who's shooting at me today? Do I get to shoot back?
Carlos: "What? Were they [Democrats]?"
Seth: "They look like [Democrats]? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires.
"[Democrats] do not explode when sunlight hits them."
When something hit my Interceptor vest and then friendlies were firing back in the direction the hit came from...
I really don't know any more that that...
Carlos: "What? Were they [Democrats]?"
Seth: "They look like [Democrats]? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires.
"[Democrats] do not explode when sunlight hits them."
And it can't say it authorizes the use of military force. It actually has to have the title "Declaration of War". Otherwise even though a war was declared by congress it't not really a "Declaration of War".
Socialism doesn't work. It looks nice on paper, but it's been tried and it's failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

I'm with Fred!
Sheesh. Anybody knows that AFTER the shooting starts it doesn't matter WHEN it started. Or why. Why would you care if the guy shooting at you has what he thinks is a good reason? And as for who... well, you might want to be careful around people with guns. And finally, as far as shooting back, well, all I can say is that it's always better to be judged by 12 (or six) than carried by six.
Semper Fi!

"Judged by 12" can be very expensive.
Carried by 6 means my wife gets a boatload of money...
But, anyway, I seriously don't know who this "Wonkette" person is, what was said, what it was about and whether or not I can return fire. Let alone what Kind of fire I can return...
I'd like to load some SABOs into my brand new 30mm mini-gun just to see what they do, but...

Wonkette forgot who the people here at Red State are, how well they understand tactics and strategy, and that they've even moved to the professional level of understanding logistics. Three hours after the call went out, well let's just say
the Paultaurds had all been Moe'd down.
Wombat guts all over the Wonkette website.
I thought they were called moRons.
Is awesome.
And this post from Wonkette was pretty sweet too. Gawker does have some good things going for it.

It's been a while since a thread at Red State has been this much fun. And on the same day we got the CNN link too -- I'm still cracking up over Grandma's question.
