Here is your laugh for today! This was in the comments for this story:

ShowMe Missouri September 13th, 2011 1:19 pm Democrats need to run another candidate for President, not Barack Obama. No other election should depend upon people's evaluation of President Obama's policies or actions. I've come to believe that President Obama is a Trojan Horse for the R

And in other news, Mark Amodei (R) wins in Nevada.

[NoLibZone]

LMAO. A seat held for 60 years by the Slavery party.

They are going bonkers over at the DU.

Actually 1922 was the last GOP win in that district

Actually, all the comments are a hoot.

The Poor Libtards have a pretty good Pity Party going on at the present time.

This is fantastic news. Weiner said his worst nightmare would be if a Repub took his seat. Well guess what Anthony? Bwa ha ha ha. I wonder if Weiners mental I mean mentor, Chuck “press conference” Schumer will give a press conference over this. Probably, but most likely the usual BS everytime a Repub wins. “Whaaaaa! The Reub cheated! he stole the election! Waaaaaaaa! Someone call the Waaambulance!”

The congressional district that gave us Geraldine Ferraro and Chuck Schumer just elected a Republican.

Erections have consequences.

I have to say thank you Breitbart!

Ya’ll go look at DrugeReport...the headline is hilarious!!! ROFL!

[Kartographer]

Yeah, but to believe that ‘Zero’ is a ‘Trojan Horse’ for the Republicans? What is the guy smoke’n?

[jessduntno]

I'm sure the talking heads on CNN will be chewing up the scenery about this and what a referendum it was...you know like they did for the 27. And remember when Scott Brown won? That's right;

[Revolting cat!]

So now we have a supermajority in the senate? Superheavy, dude!

[ExTxMarine]

Erections have consequences.

BTTT! Love it!

[ConservativeStatement]

Yup.

I read the article. It was funny how the words ‘Tea Party’ came relatively late in the story, and then it was an oblique reference to how Weprin tried to use it as a pejorative in their campaign recap. I wager that ‘Tea Pary’ would have been in the first sentence had Turner lost the election.

[longfellow]

Did you see this David I. Weprin squeeling like a lil girl. TEA PARTY TERRORISTS! I want one leader to stand up and say “yes I am a tea party member” I am third from the left dressed like sitting bull throwing that crate into boston harbor” and hold up an etching of it.
