Penn Gillette is such an assbiscuit.

[Hello_Kitty]

He's on Shuster claiming that the Citizens United decision will bring "more people from outside the political establishment" into elections.

What a fucking moran.

[Romulox]

1. Definitely not as eloquent as his partner! nt

[upi402]

4. +1^

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

5. Teller?

Teller what?

:silly:

[CreekDog]

2. I wish he was the one that didn't speak

:D

[Dr.Phool]

25. At least the other one is smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

[CreekDog]

30. you have the best name "Dr. Phool"

i probably have said that before. :rofl:

[dhill926]

3. why anyone is interested in his opinion......

is a mystery to me......

[d_b]

6. should you solve that mystery

be sure to let me know.

[hamsterjill]

13. It's a mystery to me, too.

I mean if I wanted to know magic tricks, I might ask him, but...

[ihavenobias]

7. What's worse?

If he really believes it or if he's pushing an agenda? I guess the (terrible) result is the same.

[avaistheone1]

8. How the heck would it bring more people into elections?

[Cruzan]

9. OK

I wasn't sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be an 'assbiscuit.' Looks like it's bad.

Thanks.

[PA Democrat]

10. I saw one of his "comedy" skits on cable. He's about as funny as a case of food poisoning.

[Initech]

11. Anyone who names his kid Moxie Crimefighter definitely has a screw loose.

[rox63]

12. I used to like Penn & Teller's routines

But I wish he'd STFU when it comes to politics.

[Hello_Kitty]

15. Bullshit had a few good episodes.

But the one about global warming was just, well, bullshit.

[rox63]

19. Haven't seen any of their stuff in years

Not sure what they've been up to recently.

[Retrograde]

24. Had is the operative word

IMHO, the strength of their arguments can be judged by the number of topless women on the show: the weaker the argument, the more boobs (and I mean that figuratively as well as literally). They're magicians: they know how to distract their audience.

I used to watch Bullshit, and agree with them on about half of those. But the constant battering gets old quickly.

[progressoid]

42. As was the recycling one

That's when I stopped watching.

[skypilot]

45. That's exactly the point where I stopped watching as well.

The low points of that episode for me:

Their trotting out some scientist to pretty much claim that people recycle because it gives them a kind of cheap high. That's not exactly what he said but that was exactly the jist of it.

AND

When the assbiscuit rolled out his bogus recycling system where people were supposed to recycle EVERYTHING, including used toilet paper and feminine hygience products. When he ripped open the trashbags and dumped the trash right on the feet of the people he was interviewing in this particular segment I realized once and for all what a complete asshole he is.

I haven't watched that show since.

[mopinko]

47. bullshit did a hatchet job on my alderman in the middle of an election

campaign. my guy had stood up to walmart, and in return not only got tons of money dumped on an otherwise hopeless challenger, but got sliced to bit on a bullshit about walmart haters. (swiftboat funder david herro lives here, and manages a hedge fund with a lot of walton family money.)
fortunately, he won by a hair.
so, he is not only an asshole, he is an asshole for hire, methinks.

[Mimosa]

14. Kitty, can you give us a link to Citizens united decision?

Penn Gillette is odd, to say the least. Long ago I saw a feature in a men's magazine about his (then) home in Las Vegas. It had some kind of kinky sex dungeon! And the house looked like a prison on the outside. I wonder if he still lives in the same horrid house? LOL

[Echo In Light]

16. Their recurring smears/hit pieces on 'CRAZY' CTs were laughable

They even did an episode of their Bullshit show which served as a celebration of the dumb-fuck, stereotypical 'college life' shenanigans replete w/actual visit to NOAM CHOMSKY to make his 'egg-headiness' appear silly and irrelevant. I can see how A LOT of conservative types enjoy his big mouth-blow-hardery, though.

[butterfly77]

17. Every since Obama won..

I have watched him especially on Larry King,looking like he is about to burst because he hates Obama so much..

[Contrary1]

18. I've never heard the term "assbiscuit" before...

For your future convenience, I have listed these DU spell check alternatives:

biscuit
assist
ambuscade
ambuscader
abduct
subsist
ascot
obscurity
Arabist
subset
absurdity
assister
ambiguity
and... boyscout :wtf:

I like your word much better. I plan to use it at least once a day from now on.


:rofl:

[Ignis]

27. Arabists in ascots are a subset of assbiscuits? Ambuscade them into obscurity!

How many points for that one? ;)

[Contrary1]

41. I'm sorry, you get zero points...

You failed to use "boy scouts" in your sentence. I have no personal knowledge as to why that particular phrase shows up in the DU spell check for "assbuscuit", but if you were a real Liberal, you would have tied it in somehow.

In other words...FAIL.
Better luck next time.

[Ignis]

43. I cry foul! I was restricted by DU post subject length!

If only I could have remembered to "be prepared!"

:cry:

[guitar man]

20. +1 for "assbiscuit"

:rofl:

[discopants]

21. penn also claimed he witnessed ...

that the teabaggers were protesting during the Bush administration.

[Echo In Light]

22. Maybe they didn't have to stand in the "Free Speech" zones fuckin miles away from media/crowds

[Hello_Kitty]

26. There were people protesting the bailout in Oct. 2008.

But many of them were liberal Dems. There was no official teabag movement then.

[BlueIris]

23. Candidate for Grand Moran, definitely. And "assbiscuit" is awesome. You may consider that

stolen.

[Rage Inc.]

28. K&R

He's one of our major douchebags!

[Alias Dictus Tyrant]

29. You must be British. In America, we call him an "asscookie".

[whatchamacallit]

31. I hate that talentless fat-ass! (n/t)

[JerseygirlCT]

32. I agree nt

[Grand Taurean]

33. Most "Libertarians" are middle-aged white men

unattractive by every standard who have a contempt that they must act with a certain minimal level of responsibility.
Pure Libertarians are anarchists.

[20score]

34. Assbiscuit is a bit nice for him, but good enough;) The way he attacks Michael Moore for using

certain techniques in his videos, then edits his own videos to get a pre-desired effect - well, pure assbiscuitatry.

I like him went he's attacking the Christian Taliban, but other than that, he's a douche.

[TK421]

35. Didn't he claim to be Libertarian? I seem to recall him going off on some

rant a while back, and I thought someone here had posted a link to it

[Bunny]

36. I've loathed that douchenozzle for years.

What a dick.

[Arkana]

37. Penn Gillette never aged past 13.

He's a fucking lolbertarian.

[Grand Taurean]

38. Any "Libertarian" who is NOT Harry Browne

has never passed age 13.

[bagimin]

39. Mungbrain.

[tbyg52]

40. That statement is in the running for "stupidest thing I ever heard." nt

[lame54]

44. Only one thing to say to that - BULLSHIT!

[proud2BlibKansan]

46. He's a libertarian nutbucket

Not worth our time.
