“Jobless rate soars to 8.1% in February”

I blame Bush.

Even though, like, well — you know.

    And this guy just quit his job with the RNC:

    As Matt Lewis notes, though, this is really the most disturbing part of the story:

    In an interview, Krohn said he’s moving back to Seattle with his family. He has no job lined up at the moment, he told The Post, but he’s thinking of running for office.
    So he quit without having another job lined up? In this economy? Krohn had to be pretty desperate to leave, and Republicans have to ask themselves why.

    In just four weeks, the RNC has shed almost all of its staff, and now suddenly finds itself without leadership on fundraising and on-line operations, two of the most critical efforts for the party in the next two years. It will take weeks, if not months, to find suitable replacements for the two and get them up to speed. The GOP has lost continuity on two major fronts and now must rebuild from scratch on both.

    These aren’t road bumps; they’re collapsed bridges to victory.

    You might see if he meets your Outlaw criteria.

    Michigan is at 11.6%. Woot!

  3. Andrew the Noisy says:

    I daresay this puts pressure on my faith in the Magic Money Fairy.

  4. TheGeezer says:

    When will Obama and his minions declare a permanent national emergency and take everything over for our good?

    FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHILDREN????

    This wold be the continuity that has served the GOP so well since 2006? Cleaning house is probably the best thing that could happen to the RNC. Personally, I would start with Steele, but that’s just me.

  6. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Exactly, right BigD. Too bad they just made him their chair. As much a I loathe O!bambi and his ilk, the repubs just aren’t doing it for me anymore.

    Wow 27 jobs for over a trillion dollars. What a freakin steal.

  8. Patrick says:

    Hear, hear, Big D.

  9. Dan Collins says:

    C’mon, guys. The guy inherited the remnants of a free enterprise system.

  10. JHoward says:

    Think of it as a good Granholm scouring, Carin. Remember, it takes a dirty lying Socialist to restore classical liberalism.

    (Now that I write that I see just how true it’s likely to be…)

  11. phil says:

    You almost sorta kinda maybe get the feeling that if Obama failed (at getting his policies IMPLEMENTED, happy patterico?), America would succeed.

    Oh noes! Did I just say that? I denounce myself and ostrasize myself from polite company.

  12. Log Cabin says:

    And Obama’s personal approval ratings just went up. If politicians knew that destroying the US economy would be so popular, they would have done it a long time ago. What the hell is wrong with people?

    Would this be an example of willful blindness?

    “He’s my guy and I refuse to hold him responsible, dammit! See how ripped his abs are?”

  13. LTC John says:

    Log,

    Wait until the budget has to get hashed out…Congress and the President will both sink. Party be damned, all are going to be looked at with a skunk eye. The “I don’t have to pay for gas or my rent/mortgage” types will get a rude shock, the Tea Party folks are already pissed, business owners are reaching for barf bags, etc.

  14. Hey now, if those were real jobs, like policemen, or teachers, or DOT workers I’d be worried. But I’m not, because Obama saved all of those jobs. All those lost jobs are bankers, Realtors, construction workers and insurance company executives. Those jobs don’t count, Gibbs told me so.

  15. N. O'Brain says:

    Yet more failed policies of the present.

  16. happyfeet says:

    California is way ahead of the curve too, Carin. 10.1%!! Interestingly, it’s not cause the people that run this state are corrupt dirty socialist retards with a no nuts having governor what is rife with the homosexual tendencies. Nope. It’s just cause we’re caught in an avalanche is all. Pure dumb bad luck I guess.

    It could be worse, the GOP could have retained continuity and not be forced to rebuild from scratch.

  18. Paleo Pat says:

    I think it’s been this bad here in Michigan for a while. They’ve just been cooking the figures, now that the idiotic Bush admin is out, they’ve got the real figures out. Yeah, it’s true people, I haven’t worked since 2005. No, I am not lazy, I’ve just got some very bad luck. I even have a CDL-A and because I haven’t lived in a damn truck driving all over the country, living like a hermit, I cannot get hired driving. It sucks. But eh, that’s the breaks, I guess. I much prefer to write, easier on the nerves. :)

    I just wish I could make a bit more scratch doing it! :roll:

  19. JD says:

    I cannot imagine how Chuckles would have a hard time in a job interview.

  20. Paleo Pat says:

    Yeah, Whatever… I have the balls to post my Blog, do you?

    I doubt it. I checked your fucking URL and it’s bogus, as I expected.

    Just another asshole anonymous troll.

    Either step your ass up or get the fuck on….

  21. Paleo Pat says:

    …and anytime you wanna call me “Chuckles” TO MY FACE, name the spot, and I’ll show up. If you’re lucky, I won’t send you to the hospital.

    Good Day!

  22. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Wait, is paleopat, chucky?

  23. Paleo Pat says:

    Fuck is it to you? Ya’ll wanna start bringing shit up that happened a long time ago?

    Suit yourselves. Losers. No wonder the G.O.P. is in the wilderness.

  24. BJTexs says:

    Yup.

    A word of advice, Chuck. You don’t want JD anywhere near your ass becasue he’d be liable to separate it from your body.

    I know him. You don’t. Trust me on this one little thing.

  25. BJTexs says:

    chuck: We don’t care that the GOP is in the wilderness. Most here are flaming pissed that the GOP stomped all over it’s principles in a headlong rush to be more like Democrats.

    I’ll be joining the Republican party this spring, for the firsttime, for one sole purpose: To do everything I can to defeat that gelatinous, treasonous POS known as Senator Arlen Spector.

  26. Paleo Pat says:

    I ain’t scared of no fucking body. I didn’t start shit, other people did. Dude wants to talk shit. do it to my face. But they won’t, they’d rather hide behind a keyboard.

    Ah well, I got better things to do, than argue with a bunch of Neo-Con idiots.

    Yeah, I used to be a “Left of Center” and I switched sides, what the fuck big of a deal is that? Especially after they handed that election to that Harlem Globetrotter. No, I am not Shillary supporter either. She’s just as idiotic, going to try and TALK to Iran?!?! WTF?

    I Voted for Bob Barr, it was a protest vote. Because I know what Mr. Bambi was going to do. and he’s doing it too!

    So, yeah it’s me. Lots has changed, my political ideology, attitude towards the Libs… Let’s just say, I’m a different person, when it comes to all that.

  27. Paleo Pat says:

    Oh, I hear ya… I follow this crap daily… It is truly a “trip”…

  28. JD says:

    Chucky – I would fear you, truly I would. But between the fat rolls and the back hair, it is probably hard for you to raise your hands above your waist. Which, come to think of it, tends to explain the amount of whacking off you do.

  29. Paleo Pat says:

    I’m not even going answer.

    Don’t feed the trolls. Please.

  30. JD says:

    You are not a different person, Chuckles. You are just directing your anti-social behavior at a different target, Chuckles.

    Yes, OI. PaleoPat is Chuckie.

  31. JD says:

    Don’t hold back, Chuckles.

  32. Paleo Pat says:

    fuck you… asshat mother fuck… talk shit to my face. I’m in the mood for a fight.

  33. JD says:

    I’m your huckleberry. Better trade those coke-bottle glasses for some RecSpecs. Good Allah, you truly are a clown.

  34. JD says:

    I would enjoy meeting you, Chuckles. Question – what is the physical address of that rock you crawled out from under? Or, in the alternative, give me directions to the cellar that you are squatting in.

  35. JD says:

    I got a new website just for you, Chuckles.

  36. Joe says:

    “Jobless rate soars to 8.1% in February” Blame Patterico.

  37. JD says:

    I blame Chuckles. He counts for at least 3 unemployed.

  38. JD says:

    Could you imagine fighting Chuckles? All that grease, lard, and BBQ sauce would be a great defense.

    I vote for pay per view baby oil and jello wrestling – Rosie O’Lard, Michael Moore and Chuckles. Winner gets a pork butt.

  39. McGehee says:

    JD, if you and Paleo are going to take over the comment threads insulting each other, there’s going to be some much-to-be-regretted ‘Hammering going on. And that would be much regretted.

  40. ECM says:

    I’ll be joining the Republican party this spring, for the firsttime, for one sole purpose: To do everything I can to defeat that gelatinous, treasonous POS known as Senator Arlen Spector.

    You win on awesome adjective use of the day.

  41. JD says:

    My bad, McGehee. I should know better, but I could not resist. I am a weak and tragically flawed man.

  42. happyfeet says:

    I can’t imagine he’d for real trollhammer you, but some people like their threads a certain way.

  43. happyfeet says:

    oh. Is trollhammer opposed to be one word or two words?

  44. McGehee says:

    HF, far as I’m concerned, people spell it “zucchini” as long as the context tells me what they mean.

  45. JD says:

    In my defense, I have been dealing with timb/timmy/timmah at another site today, and the abject creepiness from that one, coupled with the grease laden crap from Chuckles put me in a state where I was vulnerable to engaging the fat fuck.

  46. McGehee says:

    I have been dealing with timb/timmy/timmah at another site today

    Damn. I’d need four or five showers after that.

    And then I’d almost be ready to use my shower.

  47. Swen Swenson says:

    I should know better, but I could not resist. I am a weak and tragically flawed man.

    We are all weak and tragically flawed men now!

  48. JD says:

    Chemical bath and much bleach … Neither of which would get the chocolate frosting and pudding stains off of Chuckles’ cheek.

  49. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Chuckie, you’re mentally challenged. The only thing it is to me is that I have sympathy for the mentally challenged. I feel bad when you look like an idiot. Which, you know, is all the time.
