Pete's Tweet: Republican Pete Hoekstra Compares Iranian Protests To GOP In Exile
By Logan Murphy Thursday Jun 18, 2009 9:00am
Stunning. Millions of Iranaian citizens are staging protests of historical proportion and Republican Pete Hoekstra compares it to being taken to the woodshed by Democrats. Zero shame. The best part of Pete's Tweet? The comments.
I remember that day. It was a god damned massacre. The Democrats surrounded the Republicans and deliberately fired into the peaceful crowd, killing seven...
Wait, that was Iran.
Hoekstra wasn't the only wingnut making the Iran protest/GOP comparison. These people obviously have no idea how ridiculous they look. (h/t HuffPo)

otherwise known as an overpaid, whining, little sack of shit. If he's so damned repressed then get the fuck off the taxpayer's dime and get a real job!

My eyes are waterin'.
Well try this on for size!

I sure hope President Obama signs the Emancipation Proclaimation and lets all those Republicans go.
Texas?
Why do you think we sent them up there in the first place?
What about Utah?
My boss left early today, wont be back for three days. Now I know how the Christians felt.
Give this girl a job writing for letterman.
As funny as the others were, that one was brilliant.
Vaguely brings the Life of Brian to mind.
... but I don't think I have laughed *that* hard in a long time. Brilliant!
Jesus, no pun intended, I just got the joke. I'm super dense today.
Tyler and Patricia a little slow this afternoon?
What!! that doesn't make any sen.. Oh LOL
DEEP
I got stuck on the idea of a boss being away for three weeks as being a good thing and there was no movement between the synapses after that.

You're an astrophysical phenomena?
I think I've been called worse, but I can't remember for sure.
Repukes have no shame, it is just that simple; they will use anything for their own political gain.
I don't remember them thinking to much about the Iranian people just a year ago. Remember that oldy but goody Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran; f*&%! hypocrites.
...yesterday for not supporting the Iranian people....the same folks he wanted to destroy.
Nooooo he didn't! I missed that! WHAT A HORRID, GRIMACING ASSHOLE! The fact that anybody says that McLame is a man of integrity is just a laugh riot. He has been proving for the last 4 years that he has no clue.
McCain is a man of opportunity. Where ever he sees one, he goes there.
Well, I ain't dropping the soap around that guy!
Ohhh! Inappropriate!!
:)
Leadership1@petehoekstra I once looked at the night sky, now I know what it is to be an astronaut
about 4 hours ago from web
In response to my sniffling this morning, a colleague asked, "Got a cold?"
Now I know what victims of the Spanish Inquisition went through.
Aaaaahahahaaaaa
For some reason that struck me funny.
that was pretty good. Subtlety if often the best kind of humor. Like a joke grenade.
"Huh? I don't gettit..." 3,2,1....KAFOOM! [lightbulb turns on] "Ohhhh! HAHAHA!"
While watering our freshly-turfed lawn, I caught a quick blast from one of the sprinkler jets. Disturbing similarity to the water torture suffered by WWII POWs at the hands of the Japanese Imperialist Army.
My early morning jogs always remind me of being a runaway slave.
I ate some undercooked bacon...
Now I know what the Donner Party went through.
I had a hemorrhoid this morning. Now I know what it's like to be in a Turkish prison.
I was heavily constipated
Now I know how it feels to be a drug mule.
Once the repubs get a legitimate leader, his first order of business will be to reign in communication, and all the funny tweets will go away.
Let's try to enjoy the comedy while it lasts.
..blogs such as this.
Wow, Pete may be on to something.
Goddammit. It's similar to -ummm- driving an old lady around on her errands.
So I guess you know how Morgan Freeman felt in Driving Miss Daisy.
More importantly, how did Miss Daisy feel?
Clammy and wrinkly?
All that clam sauce
And me without spaghetti.
How she felt
But she can be that bossy. And when she grabs onto the door handle like I'm driving too fast, I go crazy, because I'm already driving 5 MPH slower than the posted speed limit, and I'm pulling out of traffic all the time, so's not to piss others off.
But she's great, just like Morgan Freeman's character realised about Miss D.
Bravo....to everyone above !!!! Totally spot-on .... ALL of you!
I too would love to see all those damn congressbrats have to pay for their own medical/dental, etc. care. I am so sick of our family having to do with less and less, all the while we are getting older, and go into the doc's sicker, and take longer (and cost more) to get (kinda) better. Just to circle around and do it all again...
I am sooooooo sick of these (congressbrats) people. Talk about 'welfare' for cripessake.
My cat left a chipmunk at the back door for me today. Flashbacks of Jonestown...
Chipmunk flav. KoolAid taste? No try yet.
but the aftertaste kills ya!
Wait....I'm sorry........I can't stop crying. My heart is bleeding....poor, poor Pete.
should have gotten a troll permit for Crooks and Liars and tried to see if they could avoid humiliation by Tyler the troll trapper.
Is there any reason to believe that he ever READS the comments?
You mean like he gives a shit about what his constituents think? That was REALLY funny.

Shows you how seriously he takes the situation in Iran and how it's all about him.
One day next week our power will be off for about four hours which means no ac when it's in the low 90s outside. Reminds me of being a detainee at Gitmo for six years.
Talk about a kiss-up:
Unlike Jill Jorgensen, most places where I worked, if our boss left for three days we'd be partying.

The Republicans know everyone identifies them with Ahmadinejad coalition; and the attempts to camouflage as anything else is laughable; they want people to believe they are on the side of the Mousavi Supporters but we all know their kindred spirit is with Ahmadinejad, who is filled with h8, who is mean spirited and spouts off reckless and dangerous rhetoric; the Republican Ahmadinejad Party only think of destruction and h8.
There is no fooling the world, these republicans are not fighting for freedom for the Iranian people but they know freedom is on its way so now they are trying to steal the success of what’s happening in an attempt to claim they were behind it all along. But let’s be clear, they were rooting for Ahmadinejad to win because they didn’t want the president to be given credit; Mitt Romney just Sunday said this was an apology tour that wasn’t working but where is Mitt now, I suspect, probably somewhere studying up on his foreign policy.
The bottom line is Ahmadinejad and the Al Qaeda Republican Party needs each other to succeed in order to keep others oppressed.
Prior to the election I actually heard some of the talking heads say as much. Out loud. On the radio.
Wouldn't surprise me if they gave credit to Ronald Reagan for toppling in Iranian regime, just like he took down the Soviet Union.
Or worse yet giving credit to Dubbya, and proclaiming him the new Reagan.
There's been a Roadrunner cable service
Can we now exptect a Tweety Boyd tweet service?
when I was takin a dump, the gaseous aroma gave me a real feeling of what the Kurds must have felt like after Saddam dropped mustard gas on them.
I said it once, and I'll say it again, you really need to lay off the cabbage, LNM.
But it's SO delishus!!!
And my new roommate says the same thing, HA!
So the old roommate had to step out for a breath of fresh air...and never came back.
That's what I told the authorities anyway.
Your tweet is supposed to be an exaggeration, conflating something small but similar to something much bigger, thus satirizing the honorable Sen. Hoekstra's original tweet.
;^)
I once took a shit SO big...I can now relate to what a woman goes through during childbirth.
Better?
;p
Cabbage patch kid?
Garbage Pail Kid...
.
Zing!
Ah to hell with it!
Funny's funny!
See my post @ 11:00
In all seriousness, one time my lawn boy didn't show up and not only did I have to mow the yard myself, I didn't get any nookie. Reminds me of the Chinese laborers who worked on the railroad.
Reslugs think every Right Wing-Nut terrorist murder or Iranian protest is a big joke, but now the joke is on them and everybody is laughing at their absolute crybaby, stupity.
morning crap. Now I understand how people on the Batann Death March felt
I've had morning hangovers that helped me understand how the prisoners felt after Masada.
When the guards escorted a certain prisoner to the governor of Jerusalem, did they have to apologize for interupting his pilates?
but they eventually nailed it.
and a picture of Jebus?
We nail those up ourselves?
But alas...no...
The answer is....
It only takes one nail to hang a picture.
to twitter how painful it was to watch
And Boner to cry.
Jesus walks into a motel office, puts a few nails on the counter and asks, "Can you put me up for the night?"
Sounds like the punchline for a bondage joke about suspension.
Not the kind we had in school un-damn-fortunately.
Peter struggled up the hill and the guards beat him back. Jesus again called out for Peter, but Jesus was weaker and barely audible. Peter summoned up his strength and again climbed up the hill and past the guards to the cross but was again beaten and thrown down the hill. Again Jesus called for Peter, but by now in a whisper. Peter was now more determined than ever, and with all of his strength he climbed the hill and beat the guards and with energy waning, climbed the cross to hear Jesus. "Yes, my Lord," said Peter, "what is it?"
In a faint whisper Jesus said "Peter, I can see your house from here."
Jesus came upon an adultress that was being stoned by an angry mob. He stopped them from doing so, and said, "Let he among you that is without sin cast the first stone." At that point, a stone comes hurtling out of the crowd and strikes the woman. Jesus rolls his eyes and shouts, "Mom, quit following me around!"
I gotta remember these two!
Pontificate on that
Funny how so many xians don't believe in evolution, but call their bishops primates.
Does that make them the monkey's uncle?
Totally off topic, but here is a Republican primer.

This morning I spilt a whole gallon of milk all over the kitchen floor. Now I know what the people of New Orleans felt after Katrina.
But I really thought they were going to compare the teabaggers to the protesters..Stay tuned!
...of the time I didn't get to finish my lunch and knew exactly what it is like to be a starving Ethiopian kid
You had a starving Ethiopian kid for lunch?
Very polite little cuss, too!
Well, if have to be a cannibal, always go for the lean cuts.
Lindsay Lohan?
Of course you could mean Olive Oyl
She comes with her own lubrikink.
An Olive Oyl marinade? Hmmm... you might be on to something there, Ysb.
Last night I screwed another man's wife,
Now I know what its like being a Senator from Nevada.
Now you know how it feels to be a married schizophrenic with memory problems.
Heh, good one. Senator Ensign certainly knows how Bill Clinton felt after the Monica fiasco.
I think we may have a winner here folks!
To bad so few people hear about crap like this. Most people dont even know these kind of things happen.
..will be all over it tonight. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
Yeah right!
like a loofah on a falafel!
Some of those comments were amazing. "I didn't eat breakfast this morning, it was just like the Potato Famine", or "my boss left work early today and won't be back for 3 days. Now I know how the christians felt"
LOL
Twitter raised US$57 million from venture capitalists so these hawks want their investment back.
..told my wife I was seeing another woman..I feel just like a Republican.
..told my wife I was in the bathroom, seeing a man..I feel just like a Republican.
..told my wife I wanted to see the President fail..I feel just like Rush..ooh too scary.
The TPM site had some real winners!
Yes folks, even here in the Great Lakes State of Michigan - which is as blue as our fresh water, we too have our share of wingnuts.
I wonder if it ever dawned on these reichwing nutjobs, that the reason they are in "exile," is because they were so horrible at running things?
Ya' might wanna look into that Peener.
a new figure of speech. We'll have to call this a hoekstra. The definition of the hoekstra is an inappropriate self-aggrandizing hyperbolic metaphor used to incite sympathy for perceived victimization.

My car was low on gas this morning so I walked three blocks to work. It was the Bataan death march all over again.
Surely you exaggerate. But if there happened to be a pebble in your shoe at the time, then you'd be right on target.
Where is Joe Loserman on this Iranbian election question?
stay off Twitter, before he gets pwnd!
Nothing could be less zen.
idiot of himself in public. Now I know what Mrs. Hoekstra must go through! :(
Just emptied out my ash tray, now I know what it was like to work at Auschwitz
I love it. Now whenever I see one of the Hoeskstra family's big-ass semi's on our crumbling Michigan freeways---I'll think of the day the Hoekstra was born on C&L. Thanks
OOPs...as much as I want to credit C&L I guess I can't. Hoekstraisameme!!! High-larious
