If You Can Name Two Funny Republicans, BarackBook Is For You

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Oh, those conservative icons, members of a party known for supporting the arts, free speech on the internet, and Nerve.com. They've really got us guffawing now: how witty, you'll say! "Barack Obama is now friends with Tony Rezko!" Zing! Man, that talking point is sure killing Obama's momentum over the past seven months, let's just beat him to death with it...

Barack is hoping to settle on an Iraq policy before November.
 
Check out that rim-shot worthy status update, dudes. Remember: it's better to ignore the demands of war and blindly stick with original plan-- we all saw how wonderfully that worked for Afghanistan and Iraq, let's just keep it going! God Bless America Over Other Countries!
 
(Tongue outta cheek, if you don't want to give the RNC your page views, you can view their hilariously satirical website-- almost as funny as that laugh-out-loud New Yorker cover-- in the screenshot below. Should you have a death wish, click here to peruse.)

Hahaha! Omg, they are sooo funny, they're hyping up Barack Obama's "connection with Bill Ayers BUT they're doing it with the terminology of that new-fangled facebook thing on the internets that all the kids are talking about. Wow, that is just so clever and makes the Republicans look so very cool! I'm sold. Keep up the good work, guys!
