Teahadist Insurgency Simmering in Nebraska

Call out the National Guard:

Could Nebraska be the next state to select a conservative underdog in a Senate primary? Sixty-one year old Deb Fischer, a Nebraska state senator, had been a long-shot candidate for the GOP nomination for Senate against the better funded state attorney general, Jon Bruning, and the more well known state treasurer Don Stenberg. 

But a poll released last week showed Fischer just four points behind Bruning, while Stenberg--who has the support of Tea Party favorites like Senators Rand Paul and Jim DeMint--had fallen back to third place. The Tea Party and conservative leaders, in fact, has been split on the candidates, with Herman Cain and Sarah Palin supporting Fischer (a fellow "Mama Grizzly") and Bruning earning the endorsements of Senator Mike Lee of Utah and Rick Santorum. 

Via the Weekly Standard (which was once named after a brand of toilets).

The lamestream polls shows a close race between the Teahadist Insurgent candidates and the guy chosen by the Fat Cats on K-Street.  

Personally, I don't know how you take a poll in Nebraska. It is not like people live there by choice. Omaha is a decent place, but the rest of state could be turned into a giant FEMA camp and I don't think anyone would notice.  Well, people would probably notice during college football season, but other than that  nobody would notice if Nebraska outside of Omaha was turned into a giant FEMA Camp. 

On second thought, didn't we have to fight the Commies in Vietnam in the 1960s or fight them in Omaha in the future? Maybe that was Wichita. It was somewhere, anyway. We had to fight them or else.  Which begs the question of why we didn't just let the North Vietnamese take Wichita or perhaps Topeka or where ever it was if they wanted it so badly? Would the Commies do a worse job running parts of Kansas than the natives?  It is hard to imagine that they'd be worse at it.

And what is the deal with Sen. Mike Tea Bags Lee (R-UT) supporting the establishment pick, here?  This douche bag would likely be writing screeds for right wing legal blogs today if it were not for the baggers.  Seems kind of dirty to me, but teabaggery is a filthy endeavor. 

Of course the best result would be for the eventual winner to have dabbled in witchcraft or blown the whistle on a plot by scientist to create mice with fully functioning human brains or be a masturbation activist.  That would be quite entertaining.  One can hope.
