Divided GOP Turns to Anacostia Man as Chief Spokesman

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 23 Comments · · Print This Story Print This Story

With Ronald Reagan dead these five years, a divided Republican Party, lost in the wilderness and seeking a unifying voice, has apparently turned to a local [Washington D.C.] man to cast a vision for a bold, successful electoral future.

Samir “Jeff” Abdullah-Gomez, a resident of the 1600 block of U Street SE, in the Anacostia section of D.C., said he had no previous interest in politics until Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele “showed up on my front porch asking me to be the voice of the Republican Party.”

    It is about time. I have listened to maybe 2 hours of Rush Limbaugh in my life, yet suddenly he is my spokesman? I can much more easily identify with Anacostia Man since he was on that chart of gradually more erect monkeys in my 7th grade science book. He also lives from government paycheck to government paycheck like I have done on occasion. I am happy to finally have a voice who made an embarassing voting choice like I did for Perot and came to realize the financial impact later on.

    He’s no “Joe the Plumber” but it appears he’ll do nicely anyway.

    Funny stuff Scott!

    Oh vey! Mein Gott!

    ABC Becomes Administration’s Official Mouthpiece

    Why am I not surprised? The national socialist media has become one of the greatest threats to our liberties. Whatever happened to the liberal mantra of “Question Authority” and “Dissent is Patriotic”? I guess that only applies to Republican Administrations.

    Brilliant as usual, Scott! Just what we need…less ideology, more dirt….I mean more down to earth….
    Darth - I’m just surprised it’s not SeeBS….heck, I’m surprised all the sewer networks aren’t fighting to be Dumbo’s mouthpiece!

    Darthmeister #3: IMO, this ABC thing is just an audition. Much like the 1975 Broadway production, A Chorus Line.

    The competition for “Official Mouthpiece” is gonna be fierce !

    “… GOP Turns to Anacostia Man …”

    A new Missing Link? He’s got to be better than Java Man; that dude was always way too nervous. Still, he could communicate with the Dems’ Piltdown Man.

    Senator Ensign (R) admits affair. Personally I disapprove of affairs but it is not a big deal Senator considering the sins some of your Senatorial compatriots have and are committing.

    Most likely a few of these right wing Christian Scrapplers monkey around in the closet as well, tho they never would admit it. God forbid !

    I will commend you for fessing up tho, even if maybe some news source was about to shine a light on you.

    RedPepper Re#5, I’m thinking along the same lines, but I suspect it’s more like a Casting Couch.

    Compliments of OhEssYou over at HotAir:

    “On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

    “Highlights on the agenda:

    “ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

    “The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.”

    “The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”

    I think the former Miss USA would be a good spokesman, er woman. She seems to have conservative ideas and it looks like she is now out of a job. Besides men may pay attention to her when she speaks.

    No, I take that back, they may not hear a thing she says.

    BTW, I am slowly gaining speed on the new computer. E-bay slowed down for a season but is now picking up speed. I have run a few pictures through the new Epson scanner and will put up the pictures at the cafe real soon. The computer I am using now has slowed down since the three new programs integrated into the other numerous programs.

    Sorry nobody sees me anymore-been real busy

    Ms RightWing, good to see you, but please don’t apologize for not hanging out here too much. We need more people who are willing to step up and do what they can for themselves, who are still willing to go against the odds and make some sacrifices, take a chance, and accept some level of responsibility! That is the American way.
    Continued wishes for blessings upon your efforts, stop by when you can, lest we forget to keep you in our prayers!

    Ms RightWing, Ink Re: “Sorry nobody sees me anymore–been real busy

    Sounds like the good kind of busy; best wishes for great success in your endeavors.

    After months of what many saw as pacifist rhetoric, Obama has finally revealed his hawkish hidden nature. Deploying deadly force against an assailant with the seemingly casual comment “That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker,” Obama has suddenly put despots across the globe on notice that the President of the United States does not suffer annoyances forever.

    gafisher, that is impressive! Rabble rousers beware!

    After checking gafisher’s link in post 16. I thought to myself: Now that’s quick!

    Then I thought, that’s not such a big deal, I bet Cheney could catch flies with his tongue. But then I just know he couldn’t resist feeding a few to Dumbyah. You know Cheney could always feed him anything.

    Them two old fellas were some good cutups, weren’t they?

    Everthink?

    Now, that’s just not constructive. Please get yourself a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People.

    It’s a tough room, that’s certain. Not for the squeemish…

  • 21 Laughing@You // Jun 17, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    OK, I’m sorry. I just couldn’t help myself.

    Everthink?

  • 22 Laughing@You // Jun 17, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    “Not that it’s really helping me around here…”

    That’s why I wear my big shoes and a red rubber nose here, because while I’m Laughing@You on the outside, my heart is breaking for you here on the inside.

    OK, OK, that’s a bit strong, maybe it’s not really breaking, and it is true that I enjoy Laughing@You. Then too, I guess my feet are sorta big, and my nose is red most of the time anyway.

    Well , whatever JQ, don’t let the buzzards get you down!

    Everthink?

    Laugh@ Re#18: “I thought to myself: Now that’s quick!

    Agreed, Obama’s not one to mess around with. Unfortunately, it appears his rash response has angered millions in one of the world’s major religions. Reports of “chatter” have risen sharply and Homeland Security is beefing up security against rumors of a potential retaliatory attack involving the use of weaponized aphids, weevils and hornworms against Michelle’s Garden.

    Hindu terror cells are under close scrutiny, and in fact Michelle has hastily harvested many prized lettuces and mints, though they’re less than a month old, in one of the strongest defensive efforts seen yet from this White House.
