The Campaign Refrain is Mainly on the Wane

Well, kids, it seems like the Rethuglican candidates are dropping like flies. I don’t know about you, but I think I’m gonna miss them! I thought I would do a little tribute to thank them for all the laughs they gave us along the way.

This week brought to an end the campaign of Grampa Fred Thompson. There was nobody more relieved than Grampa Fred Thompson.

Along the bottom from left to right: John McLiebercain McCain, Scabby McHuckleberry Mike Huckabee, Mittsie Romney, Ron Batshit Crazy Paul, and Rudy next to go Giuliani.

But Grampa Fred was not the only one saying goodbye…

That resounding silence you didn’t hear was the reaction to the end of Duncan Hunter’s bid for the presidency. Okay, to tell you the truth, I won’t miss Duncan as much as Fred. I heard that Duncan is a bit of a crumb.

Besides, he reminds me of Munchkins.

So, we bid farewell to Grampa Fred and Duncan and remember Sam and Tom, who preceded them in tanking. May all the other Rethugs follow in their wake soon.

    LOL!!!!!!

    I love the dancing remaining candied-dates at the bottom of Drop Out Fred! ’specially the booty-shaking Romney.

    hey dcup! :D
    i liked the dancing guys at the bottom, too. i wish they were bigger. maybe they will form a dancing troupe by next week and will merit their own poster.

    Farewell and goodbye fellows. The Repubs have had quite a can-o-mixed nuts runnin’. At first, I thought it might be a plan, to make some of them seem rational, in comparison. Like, “Well, so and so might be a little whacked but, he is better than so and so, who had to drop out”. Now, as their numbers dwindle, all the so and sos seem pretty whacked.
    Love the upside down Fred but, wouldn’t his jowles be hanging over his eyebrows? He will be able to go back to “Law and Order”, now, he would have missed it in DC.

    fotc,
    don’t you think grampa fred looks better upside down than he does rightside up?
    i think the rethugs should put the elephant away and use the fruitcake as their symbol. their candidates seems to get crazier as years go by.

    As soon as I saw the first cover I thought, “Cool! She’s found a way to use the Munchkins again!” You may have ruined donuts for me permanently, though… I sure as hell wouldn’t want to see one of those in my variety pack! Is that chocolate or poop on top?

  6. nonnie9999 Says:

    it’s chocolate. i was going to use the pink swirl, but there is a donut right next to duncan nonuts, and it didn’t want him to feel like a woman who spends weeks finding the right dress only to show up at the party and see someone else wearing the same thing. i knew someone would ask if it was poop. sprinkles probably stick very well to poop. but, then again, i’ve never tested that theory.

  7. nightowl724 Says:

    Well, I’m sure there’s a chocolate French creme-filled joke in that box, but I’m not gonna go there…

  8. nonnie9999 Says:

    forgot to add before–fotc, i certainly hope that grampa fred doesn’t go back to law & order. i like that show, and he was awful in it.

    nightowl, thanks for not going there.

  9. Madam Z Says:

    Hey Nonnie, Nonnie, you are one very clever gal! I just discovered your site, thanks to DCup.

    “Duncan Nonuts…Dumbo Dropout…G.O.P clusterfuck of gigantic proportions…” Priceless!

  10. nonnie9999 Says:

    hi madam z! thank you. you are welcome any time! i am going to have to start paying dcup for the good press! :D
