Three amigos.....

[Gabi Hayes]

Let's make America GREAT Again!

before the rampant steroid binge for one of them

quite the accumulation of vileness in one frame.

unfortunately, one of them can't be with his buddies for a 21st century update.

may the other two join him very soon

note the ghoulish eyes on the left hand duo

[CincyDem]

1. I should know this... ?, ? & Lee Atwater n/t

[malaise]

2. Help me out

ho are the scumbags?

[PatSeg]

3. I recognized Atwater

I should have recognized the first one, as I just saw him on TV a few minutes ago.

[pinboy3niner]

8. I remember Atwater's 'Red Hot & Blue' bbq joint in Arlington, Virginia

Living through that time, he's the most recognizable to me. But I refused to patronize that fucker's restaurant.

[PatSeg]

9. He laid the groundwork

for so much we've seen since then.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. Wait! Lee Atwater owned Red Hot and Blue??? Say it isn't so!

I like their Memphis dry ribs. I did not know the connection to Atwater. Or did just own that one franchise?

[pinboy3niner]

12. He was one of the partners in that restaurant on Wilson Boulevard. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Okay, thanks. The story I'd always heard is that the founders . . .

. . . . Opened the first one, in Laurel, MD. Then they opened a few others and also started to franchise them. The "official" story is they were staff for a west TN pol who wanted to stay in the DC area when he got unelected. They went back to The Rendevous in Memphis and paid a lot of money to learn their methods for ribs.

Those original stores are still open. I was to the Laurel store about a month ago.

16. it was in a little strip mall. I worked out at a nautilus place there, til it closed

very well remembering wanting to go in there and beat the crap out of him....of course, I was too chicken



many many other disgusting pix of him here, some with famous RandR giants that will turn your stomach

18. I lived in McLean for 16 years, drove down Wilson Blvd. many times

As much as I love bbq, I passed on that place. But I had many great dinners at the Vietnamese restaurants on Wilson, like the Queen Bee.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. I lived in Arlington and Falls Church from 76 to 90.

remember the American Nazi Party place, with the flag over the door? near the courthouse, sort of, where all the Vietnamese joints were?

some fun

Whitey's? on Washington blvd. that's what they should have named RH&B

[pinboy3niner]

20. Wow, I don't remember the Nazi place

But going back to vet reunions at the Wall we were always treated as VIPs at the Irish restaurants near the courthouse.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. Manafort, Atwater and a young Mr. Burns in the middle? nt

[Gabi Hayes]

5. made me LAUGH! he makes Mr. Burns look like Mr. Rogers,

in comparison

I'll wait awhile to see who comes up with it. the first two are, of course, Manafort and Atwater, who brought us the first George Bush, with the help of Bernard Shaw.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Ah, I didn't recognize that ass carrot. I get the steroids reference now. There's

one more that should've been on that photo:

[Chiyo-chichi]

6. Roger Stone in the center...

the co-host of today's freak show...

[Person 2713]

7. I was about to post he still looks batshit crazy too!

In 2016, Stone formed a pro-Trump activist group, Stop the Steal, and threatened "Days of Rage" if Republican party leaders try to deny the nomination to Trump at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.[60][61] The Washington Post reported that Stone "is organizing [Trump] supporters as a force of intimidation," noting that Stone "has ... threatened to publicly disclose the hotel room numbers of delegates who work against Trump."[61] Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said that Stone's threat to publicize the hotel room numbers of delegates was "just totally over the line."<Wiki

13. I've been thinking about skipping the Lee Atwater award this year

I don't think that too many people are concerned about it.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. haaaarrrrr! had to google that. you, no doubt, will 'enjoy' this:

if it's satire, it's GENIUS>>>

https://diplomatdc.wordpress.com/2010/12/24/leeatwater/

holy SHIT....at the time of this blog, the guy TAUGHT at Georgetown!!!!!

lookit the candidates at the bottom.....alice in wonderland, much? I still think it's a goof. this guy certainly is, if he's real; a total caricature of the classic right wing toad. looks to be a real person, but clearly totally out of touch with reality. the idea of him making a living in academic circles is aSTOUNDing

We will soon mark the 20th anniversary of Lee’s passing, and I still miss him.

I took this idea from the Democratic Underground organization which has its own “Lee Atwater Evil Republican of the Year Award” complete with a photo of his grave.

They want to bash him but I want to remember his good qualities, and this is the type of discussion he would have enjoyed.
Even though he was a political genius, Lee never would have predicted the elections of Bill Clinton or George W. Bush (who had the office next to his). In Lee’s era, Barack Obama was a community organizer.
The film Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story, and the book Bad Boy: The Life and Politics of Lee Atwater are both highly critical. They blame him for the Willie Horton advertisements, even though the 1988 Bush campaign never ran any commercial with Horton’s picture.

yeah, asswipe, just a revolving prison door with very scary black guys going through it!!!

Like all of us, Lee made some serious mistakes. The difference is that he later apologized for them, even to Michael Dukakis.
This year there are many outstanding nominees for the award. The GOP gained a historic 63 seats, and the award should go to the person who did the most to make this possible. A partial list of nominees appears below, and the 2009 recipient was the Tea Party movement. If Lee was making the selection the honor would go to his good friend Karl Rove who raised $55 million for the campaign. Other nominees include:
◾Gov. Chris Christie (NJ) who has spearheaded the conservative reform movement and has already
Gov. Chris Christie (NJ) who has spearheaded the conservative reform movement and has already brought great change to the Garden State.
◾Sen. Scott Brown (MA) whose election last January ended the Democratic Super Majority. Prior to Brown, the Senate was run by a series of cloture motions.
◾George W. Bush (TX) who protected us from terrorists, took the fight to the enemy and devastated al Qaeda. Over 22,000 terrorists are now deceased, Libya’s nuclear weapons are stored in Tennessee, the Syrian army is gone from Lebanon, and Saddam Hussein’s yellowcake is in Canada. The Bush Administration brought freedom to 50 million people living under the oppressive thumb of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban. Just a few years ago few would have imagined Sunni Iraqi Arabs fighting alongside Americans to destroy al-Qaeda terrorists.
◾Dick Cheney (WY) who was by far the most powerful and influential Vice President in American history. His primary focus was the war on terror, and Cheney was tough, honest and unafraid. He knew we were at war, and vigorously promoted the surgediv].

just a partial list....it goes on until the asteroid belt, apparently. the delusional ravings comprising the nominations would be howlingly funny, if they weren't such depressing reminders of today's reality

[MrScorpio]

26. My goodness, that was the most delusional bullshit that I've ever read in my life

Thanks for finding it.

[Solly Mack]

19. That's a nauseating photo.

[Rex]

21. Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Lee Atwater

[pinboy3niner]

23. Three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? nt

[Gabi Hayes]

24. the fourth

Charles Black, the missing first name of the infamous PR firm, headed by Manafort and Stone.

he of the disgustingly blackedend lower teeth. too bad there aren't any shots of them

[Rex]

25. No doubt! With Cheney being the forth!

Rummy can be a back up horseman.
