Michael Moore, Branding Genius, Suggests Re-Naming Stimulus ‘The Clitoris Bill’

» 23 comments

In a bit of ingenious re-branding, Real Time with Bill Maher guest Michael Moore suggested that, as long as Democrats are using “gynecological terms” like stimulus, “Why not call it a clitoris? Here, we have a clitoris plan for you.”

While the suggestion got a big laugh, it has some merit. Although Maher never tires of the “teabagger” label, that bit of sexual re-branding didn’t seem to hurt the movement. Liberals can use all the mojo they can get, even if they have to start a “Salad-Tossers movement,” or a “Bukkacaucus.”

Additionally, calling the stimulus package a “clitoris” dovetails nicely with the fact that, like a job, millions of men can’t find one.

His suggestion was preceded, of course, by a very compelling argument about the power of government to solve problems. Moore’s money quote comes, appropriately enough, at about the 1:30 minute mark:

    Once again, the Left reduces everything to buffoonery and pathetic jokes. This is one of the reasons why they got trounced in the recent election.

    Hey Felix…

    We’re all wating for Boner and McConnell to work the magic. Um, who is the other New Face? That one that looks constipated, that Cantor guy? Lots of luck. A real collective brain-trust there alright.

    Michael Moore, Democrats may not WANT to see themselves as being liars, but they have found a way to lie in commission big time, by simply agreeing on what is true and then self-fulfill the prophecy by group polarization. They are pukocrats.

    Now THAT was funny.

    I refuse to listen to the clip, however. I fear Michael Moore discussing “clitoris” may scar me for life.

    I almost died laughing at this, the best part was when Michael went on the rant about corporations not paying any taxes last year after Bill showed the photo of that CEO being carried by the national guard (not sure who he was)… this was an excellent episode.

    @felixw: You really should add your refrain to the “Cavuto Interviews Sexy Nurse” thread and keep it on file for similar instances, Limbaugh satire, Beck puppet shows and everything related to “Red Eye”.

    ETA: Oh and Tommy, I agree with @sarainitaly… damn good joke.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    im ted . did mr. more bring any cupcakes ? i bet he knows where to find some ! cupcakes . yum !

    Tommy, please don’t lower yourself to this level again. Even if you’re looking for a gig with The Times or some other mega liberal rag, name calling involving genital areas or homosexual acts were funny on msnbc for a couple of days to a rabid left audience, but it doesn’t work anymore.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    What a fat ugly pig Micaell Moore is!
    With apologies to the pig.

    When Moore assumes room temperature, the planet will be better off.

    Am I the only one who believes that Tommy Christopher had to GOOGLE clitoris, for a definition, before he could write jokes about them?
    I suspect Tommy first thought Michael Moore was making a joke about Phyllis Lindstrom…..

    GOOGLE clitoris?….ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm……nevermind…sometimes the jokes write themselves.

  • Harry Flashman

    Meh.

    I’m not in the habit of defending Tommy Chrostopher but this article was obviously done tongue in cheek. Lighten up. Funny stuff.

    Anyway, if any insufferable, hygeine challenged, mouth breathing, slobbering, halfwit, sausage-fingered, greasy lipped fool ever deserved parody – beyond what he does to himself – it’s its the odious Michael Moore. The only way that guy could find a clitoris would be to pay for it.

    Oh, and Bill Maher is a punk.

    Just look at your post. No substance, empty posturing and ridicule. Just like all the other pathetic jokesters on the Left. Don’t you see this is why most American don’t trust the Left with positions of leadership any more? Yeah, go ahead make jokes out of people’s name — even most third graders are above that. But that’s the level at which the “progressives” operate nowadays. Are we supposed to be impressed?

    The Republican leadership means serious business — but you won’t learn that by watching the Comedy channel, where most liberals get their news. But check back with reality in two years time, and you will see what happens when fiscally prudent, accountable leaders take charge of Congress.

    Moore has an interesting idea, but he’s off by a few inches.

    He never would have known this had his Mom not showed him.

  • rshaw

    I can see the connection, America never saw the stimulus, and Michael Moore has never seen a clitoris.

    Two things: I’ve been meaning to say this for awhile, but you’ve got to change your screen name. It’s just gross, and it undercuts everything you say.
    That actually segues perfectly to my second point: a guy who calls himself “Mr. Papsher” is against “name calling involving genital areas?” Physician, heal thyself.
    Okay, three things. It also seems like you misunderstood my point about the term “teabagger,” since you’re making the same argument I made in the post that I linked to in this one, the same point I’ve been making since April of 2009.

    Michael Moore voices that Government paid for a study that Trans-Fats are bad for us…

    Damn. Knock ‘em out the box Rick. I mean Tommy.

  • VoiceofReason

    Michael Moore talking about two things he has never seen…….a stimulus bill that worked and a clit.

    Maybe they should call it the donut with sprinkles bill……
