Sig Line of the Month finalists

  • 27 Comments
  • by: Voyageur

Sunday, I solicited nominations for “Sig line of the month,” those little zingers some Polsters add to their regular comments automatically (by tinkering with their profiles.)  I was inspired by JO’s sally about ill feelings stemming from the primary: “It’s the nature of politics to sling shit one minute and kiss-‘n’-make up the next.” At first, I saw it as a cynical remark.  As the week wore on and the healing process started Wednesday, it struck me as a profoundly accurate – and ruefully funny – observation on the nature of the political process — an insight worthy of sig line status.

Reviewing the nominations, I removed those that seem outdated because they were inspired by the heat of the primary, and reluctantly discarded a plethora inspired by our departed colleague Steve Harvey — believing that particular wound needs a bit more time to heal.  So, for your voting pleasure, here are the five nominees for sig line of the Month.  Feel free to add new ones in your comments: either existing sig lines or comments worthy of sig line status.

______________________________________

It’s the nature of politics to sling shit one minute and kiss-‘n’-make up the next. –JO.  

For the love of fuck!-MOTR. Nominated by Laughing Boy.

Tancredo/Marceaux 2010-Ralphie.  Nominated by Peacemonger.

She wrote “tax cuts” on her hand.  A Republican so stupid she had to be reminded of the one thing: “tax cuts.”  It’s like if you saw Wile E. Coyote’s paw and it said “road runner.” -DaftPunk (quoting Bill Maher.)

You Inattentive Doofus!-Aristotle, nominated by Voyageur.

  1. …is cheating.

    It’s not daftpunk’s words, and putting anything mean about Palin in will win every single time due to the irrational hatred you freaks have of her.

    🙂

    1. that pisses me off.

      Sarah Palin even being considered seriously is an indictment of our current broken political system.  I do confess that it drives me crazy that someone so ignorant, and proud of it, could have actually been our vice president.

    2. No – I voted for it because it was DAMN FUNNY!

      My hatred of what Sarah Palin stands for – not her per se, but the type of politics she practices – is entirely rational.

    3. It is only cheating because she is so good at making herself look stupid.  I mean foriegn policy experience is being governor of a state within eyesight of Alaska.  Reading notes for your interview that you  had written on your hand in ballpoint pen.

    4. I do feel guilty for my unearned popularity.

      But still,  “For the love of fuck” isn’t original either.  I had an Irish buddy 20 years ago who used say it, so I always hear it pronounced with a brogue.

    1. After the last several weeks here, I figured I needed the sig line equivalent of a Romo-borg deflector shield.

      Plus, Wade’s style of politics couldn’t be more different than my own. The sig line probably helps him too.

        1. Unless the fabulous grand prize is deliverable by mail or isn’t perishable I may need to politely decline. I won’t be back in Colorado until Thanksgiving.

                1. Life is too short for bad booze В®.

                  I only drink spirits made by political hellraisers: Kentucky Bourbon, Protestant whiskey and Basque red wine.

                  It has always served me well.
