BigGovernment – Where It’s All Freak Out, All The Time
Was Paul Kirk planning a one-man coup for a Senate seat? Thank goodness BigGovernment’s SusanAnne Hiller was on the case!
Senator Paul Kirk Must Resign His Seat This Morning
by SusanAnne HillerReporting yesterday on Big Government, I reiterated the fact that interim Senator Paul Kirk should have resigned his Senate seat after the election.
Should have resigned his Senate seat. Got it.
However, Kirk certainly has no option but to vacate the MA Senate seat once Brown’s election is certified–all based on Massachusetts state law and Senate rules.
Certainly no option but to vacate the seat. Just so we’re clear. Loopholes? Not a one.
In following-up the story it is being reported by The Hill that Senator-elect Brown will be sworn in about 5PM Thursday, February 4th. …
In learning this information, I wanted to confirm when Senator Kirk was going to resign his interim Senate seat. Staff at Kirk’s office said that he would step down once Brown was sworn in.
OMFG! Constitutional crisis!
The MA law is very clear and Scott Brown will have met the requirements necessary; therefore, Kirk must step down as the senator from Massachusetts tomorrow morning, the moment Brown’s election is certified.
Don’t be coy with us, SusanAnneJoAnneMaryAnn — are you saying that Kirk has to step down from the Senate seat when Scott Brown is cleared to step into it? Because we didn’t get it the first 15 times you said it.
Brown complied with the MA law, won the election, qualified, and has a certified election. All he is asking, at this point, is to rightly and legally take his seat as the Senator from Massachusetts of which Kirk must vacate immediately on the morning of February 4th.
Alas, this never happened, the Eastern Seaboard fell into the ocean, our beloved country was extinguished by an enormous fireball and the terrorists won. DAMN YOU, KIRK!
She’s as redundant as Cato the Elder.
I say, she’s as redundant as Cato the Elder.
In fact, why bother with elections at all – just demand people resign and install the nearest wingnut.
Cheesis K, RIst, these people are stupid, gullible, ignorant, paranoid, &, believe it or shove it, getting worse, so rapidly that it’s visible on a wkly., if not daily, basis.
And while I couldn’t care less if they were to hurt themselves (i might even help, i’m just that sort of friendly, helpful guy.) it would be a shame if innocent people (if there are any left) or animals were harmed in the eventual ‘splosions to come.
But… but…. don’t you SEE?? There will be an overlap, a period of time when there will be TWO senators from Massachusetts!!
Constitutional crisis!!!
Oh and umm…
John Kerrypotted plants don’t count.“DAMN YOU KIRK”
ftw. all the internetz iz yours.
So Bush should have stepped down November 4th, 2008? Obama won, right? In her scary, little world the incumbent steps down when their replacement wins. Does this woman make money writing about politics? Life is just so unfucking fair.
No doubt this observation has been observed before, but can we pause for just a moment to imagine what would have happened if Coakley had pulled on Brown what Coleman pulled on Franken?
There would have been nothing else on Fox News. NOTHING ELSE. A constitutional crisis? Oh yes. Riots? Probably. Freak out doesn’t even begin to cover it.
She types for BigGooberment. Considering the leading old fool at BB’s BigHosewood, Burt Prelutsky, got $35.00/column, then $25.00/column at Clownhall, & may actually be getting zip from Blartblart (can neither remember nor be arsed) I doubt she’s “paid” anything more than Friday night drink money.
And so, once again, the United States Constitution is rescued from a grisly demise in the nick of time. And they would have gotten away with it, too, if wasn’t for those meddling kids!
Tune in next episode, when SusanAnne and the rest of the gang confront the latest outrage to decency, Liquid Plumr’s Foaming Pipe Snake.
i dont care about this shit, whats the score with Brietbart’s meltdown, is he back on the sauce, or has O’Keefe’s lawyer told him to STFU. Either way, this would make a great Hitler/Downfall parody to add to the thousands already there…..
actually, went and checked myself, the rage is still there, but not the cursing or inane postings. I think he has changes drinks, perhaps downshifted to wine or beer. Maybe Althouse delivered some Chardonnay to his house…
What if… they can’t find Kirk, and they can’t find the secret Senator power-robes to hand off to Brown at the exact minute he’s supposed to become Senator, and they also forget the swearing-in words, and there’s a ZOMBIE ATTACK aaaaiiiiiiieeeee!!!111!!!!
This is OT, apologies, but could be right in the SNo zone.
Remember Alito’s SOTU freak-out last week? Malkin flagged it as a “scorching response to SOTU from Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito”.
I was pretty sure this wasn’t the first time the Princess of Colorado Springs had written about judges’ public behavior. But being a slacker means you don’t follow up on your instincts… well, for at least a week you don’t.
But lookie here. A couple of years back, a report came round that AG Mukasey had been heckled as a “tyrant” at a Federalist Society gathering. And what did Malkin have to say about Judge Richard Sanders, who confessed to the outburst? Was it a problem back then? I believe so…
“It has everything to do, though, with jeopardizing his public appearance as a dignified, temperate representative”
Oh, okay.
I think that she’s perfectly right to be spazzing* out over this. I mean, just look at all the lefty legislation being rammed through the senate before brown takes his seat. Just look at it.
*is this phrase acceptable in a post-trig world? I’m confused by our new politically correct conservative overlords.
Breitbart: I’m a foaming pipe snake
And I shat my chair
Yeah, don’t mess ’round with o’keefe
Gonna use
herhimher for myselfSusanAnne Hiller is stupid, sure. Box of rocks stupid, no doubt.
But she is a lot smarter than her frightened, confused and really stupid commenters. You should wear an IQ Containment Helmet before going over there as the Colorado Springs petard contingent seems very well represented.
“DAMN YOU KIRK”
“There IS no Massachusetts Alpha Six!”

No mangoes for me, waiter, I’m trying to cut back.
I compromised and clicked through on the last link to the NYT. Different mangoes, still dagnasty.
I clicked through to see a photo series about Will.i.am’s “Los Feliz studio” (his basement), which actually turned out to be more of an ad for the designer that decorated the place. She really had some crucial insight into the perspective of modern artist:
“It’s a bordello look,” Reid says of the guest powder room in the studio complex. “Pimped-out, but elegantly.”
SuSuSannE isn’t the only one who makes money being stupid.
When can we have the 90% marginal rate back?
I’m pretty sure the Constitution requires that the moment a Republican is elected from Massachusetts, which is determined by when Fox News announces the result, all Democratic Senators are supposed to immediately vacate Washington DC and assemble on a small floating platform to be blown up and sunk, and the new Senator is to be named Praetor of the Republic and feted with all citizens turning out wearing teabags on their heads.
ReaLAMEricans know jackshit about America.
The FACT is that Real Americans will win every seat in November, BOOKMARK IT LIBS. Dhimocrats should resign now for USA Freedom.
Sweet mother of God what a tendentious tool.
It seems that only writers that fail all of their English classes are allowed to publish on conservative blogs.
The stupid! It burns….
I see that the Teabagger convention in Nashville is getting some network coverage, like anyone actually cares.
What, does the Constitution have a penalty for Too Many Men On the Field or something?
As someone who lives on the eastern seaboard, I would have appreciated a little heads up to it falling into the ocean.
I would also appreciate BigWittleGovernment.com being the subject to expert hackers who like to implant links to books on logic and reason.
What, does the Constitution have a penalty for Too Many Men On the Field or something?
Yes, it does, but it’s only a two minute minor.
I read down about 20 comments, hoping for just a touch of sanity.
Alas, none was to be found. What the hell is wrong with those people?
You know who had a name very similar to Hiller except for one letter?
Himmler, that’s who. No, it was somebody else.
What the hell is wrong with those people?
BLACK DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT.
Alas, this never happened, the Eastern Seaboard fell into the ocean, our beloved country was extinguished by an enormous fireball and the terrorists won. DAMN YOU, KIRK!
CONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiller sounds a lot like Hitler. Just saying.
Next from Suzy Q. Hilter: Former Fake Senator Paul “Not Mark ‘Not Actually A Captain'” Kirk Left A Whoopie Cushion On Senator Captain Treasure Trail’s Seat; Must Impeach Or Convict Or Something For This Outrage GRAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Pere Ubu for the win.
One wonders when the Nuts Of The Wing will move from such political trivia back to addressing the REAL issues … the things America really cares about … you know, like when they lost their shit over the subject of mustard a while back.
Or like their courageous stand against the ziggurat of pure evil that is Rachel Ray because her scarf looked sort of like a keffiyeh (if you ignored the paisley).
Or perhaps they can revisit the dark socialist cabal behind Sesame Street again.
These folks truly are a box of nails in Hammerworld.
So Bush should have stepped down November 4th, 2008? Obama won, right? .
NO!!!! BECAUSE SHUT UP!!!
shaun — Speaking as an actual, honest to goodness spazz (really), using the term to describe that kind of a freakout isn’t really appropriate — shit, man, no spastic anywhere acts like that! All we are is kinda twitchy and weird; these people are freaky and nuts, and prone to temper-tantrums of titanic, hand-flapping screaming-fit jumping-up-and-down breath-holding-until-they-turn-blue proportions.
I mean, speaking spastically, I’d love to emulate that kind of thing, since it sounds like a fun dance, but I ain’t coordinated enough to pull off a Full Metal Wingnut Freakout. dd Heeeeey, do the Wingnut, yeah! pp
“The ceremony on the Senate floor was sparsely attended by Democrats but packed with Republicans.”
DEMOCRATIC STORYTIME!
they all joined hands in a big circle and…
DEMOCRATIC STORYTIME!

What if… they can’t find Kirk, and they can’t find the secret Senator power-robes to hand off to Brown at the exact minute he’s supposed to become Senator, and they also forget the swearing-in words, and there’s a ZOMBIE ATTACK aaaaiiiiiiieeeee!!!111!!!!
But suppose, faddah, that just as we were to swear in Scott Brown on February 4th, we cross the International Date Line, and it’s now suddenly February 5th, with Scott Brown still having not been sworn in. In that case, faddah, would or would it not be a Constitutional crisis?

Fixed. Sound it out, Hooked on Phonics!
