We welcome the vaguely annoying Jon Huntsman to the GOP Presidential sweepstakes today by inducting him into the hallowed halls of the GooseRadio Demotivators… This dude has supported Cap & Trade, Civil Unions for our gay friends, thought Obama’s stimulus package was too small… and generally sees himself as a new force of tranquil centrism [...]

If Tim Pawlenty was trying to position himself as the dude who wasn’t Mitt Romney, well that was not a great night for Tim. T-Paw’s refusal to mix it up, or lock eyes with Old Mitt is discussed. Michelle did very well… but which of the GOP hopefuls didn’t? And what does it all mean?! [...]

Thursday Irony – Sarah Palin Tells Newt To Be Prepared for Interviews

Goose Nissley — Tue, 17 May 2011 22:14:13 +0000

And in another strange twist to Newt Gingrich’s week, Sarah Palin has taken a pretty excited swipe at Newton (his name really is Netwon – which is awesome!) for his epic muffing of an answer on Meet the Press this weekend. Here’s Palin on Hannity this eve… Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Poor Newt [...]

Romney Takes It to Everybody on Healthcare

Goose Nissley — Fri, 13 May 2011 03:05:22 +0000

Mitt Romney has been getting hammered by the right & the left for the health reforms he implemented as Governor of Massachusetts from pretty much the moment President Obama forced through health care at the eleventh hour last year. The President has been only too gleeful to praise Mitt for ‘laying the groundwork’ for his [...]

In their first comic salvo of the 2012 race, Saturday Night Live staged a mock debate featuring some of the most prominent undeclared Republican presidential candidates. The funniest parody of all may well be that of Shepherd Smith! Behold these moving pictures… Gotta be able to laugh at yourself.

The Return of Grandpa Ron

Goose Nissley — Fri, 06 May 2011 05:50:56 +0000

The kickoff GOP Presidential Debate tonight felt a bit like a minor league baseball game. You’re not too emotionally invested in the thing because you don’t really think it’s too big of a deal. T-Paw was okay, Herman Cain was entertaining, Gary Johnson had a panic attack on stage… but – of course – this [...]

Glenn Beck – ‘Mike Huckabee Is John McCain’

Goose Nissley — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 03:29:37 +0000

Today on his radio progrum, Glenn-abus Beck-abus made me happy. He declared former guv Mike Huckabee ‘a progressive’ and aptly summarized, ‘He’s John McCain’. Here’s the audio… Did you catch that epic aside on Jim Wallis?! Wow! But I’m so pleased to hear the Huck lampooned on his fiscal record. As FoxNews and most other [...]

Donald Trump?! We Should Be Ashamed of Ourselves

Goose Nissley — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:42:33 +0000

Last week, we explained why Donald Trump was a buffoon. But over the weekend he just continued plastering his smug mug over every TV screen that would have him, and those poll numbers showing him as the leading preference of Republicans for their 2012 Presidential candidate kept flying around the interwebs. Being unable to further [...]

Donald Trump Is a Buffoon

Goose Nissley — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 04:22:47 +0000

Note – I usually try to avoid calling people names — it’s not too classy and often lazy… but I couldn’t resist how well the word buffoon captures Mr. Trump and his exploits. Donald Trump is now a serious, legitimate candidate for the highest office in the land. In fact, he’s probably the best hope [...]

Why I Don’t Like Mike

Goose Nissley — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 06:47:40 +0000

If you’ve read GooseRadio for a while, you well may have noticed some snide comments directed toward former Arkansas Governor Michael Huckabee. I’ll be forthcoming – I do not care for that man. Recently, in the Twitter-universe, the noble Dave Clutter (Twin Cities radio DJ & onetime guest on the GooseRadio Podcast) asked me why [...]

For the past several days, I really haven’t had my usual zest for politics. In the wake of the Arizona shootings, it was hard to read the usual write-ups or listen to my favorite radio raconteurs. Even the stuff I agreed with – it all just seemed so small and trivial! I kept coming back [...]

Bush & Blair Revisited

Goose Nissley — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 03:38:09 +0000

Have I mentioned here before that I’m not a big fan of Sean Hannity’s? I was trying to remember earlier but couldn’t recollect. Well, fact is, I’m not a big fan of Sean Hannity’s. He has a tendency to repeat the conventional Republican wisdom a bit too much and frame original thoughts a bit too [...]

As Pelosi, Reid, and Obama brace for the defeat that is rapidly approaching in the November mid-terms, minds can’t help but stray a bit further down the road. Conservatives will make many gains in less than 2 months – barring an epic national mood swing – but what are their odds of wresting away the [...]

Surprising Words from Tony Blair on Bush & Obama

Goose Nissley — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 04:38:36 +0000

Tony Blair’s recently released book is one of the few I’ve actually parted with funds to make my own. This guy is just fascinating for his central role in world affairs this past decade and his close friendship with two very ideologically different US Presidents as he led America’s closest ally. As a political liberal [...]

The economic recovery hasn’t exactly panned out, even after all those stimulus dollars. But it really is Dubya’s fault. So say Dems everywhere. Will blaming Bush really work as the main campaign thrust for Democrats all over the country in 2010 – 2 years after the man left office? We question the political strategy of [...]

The Palin Video – What People Are Missing

Goose Nissley — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 04:22:18 +0000

So Sarah Palin’s been in the news. And what distinguishes this from any other week in the past 2 years?! Well this week it’s epic youtube video footage! A video of her confronting an Alaskan who’s created a banner making fun of the former Governor. Hubbub has been generated. First, you’ve gotta watch this thing. [...]

Well, T-Paw is Running for President

Goose Nissley — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:32:23 +0000

Just in case there was any question, Minnesota’s soon to be former governor intends to seek the GOP nod for President in 2012. This first campaign commercial of our next soiree into the Presidential selection festival was put forward by Tim Pawlenty’s camp this week… Although Pawlenty’s PAC, Freedom First, is theoretically in existence to [...]

Newt Gingrich Is Still Alive?

Goose Nissley — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:29:39 +0000

Newton Leroy Gingrich has returned from the grave. Recently, he’s been appearing on the moving picture box and telling people he’s thinking about running for president. Well – he’s telling folks that he’s thinking about possibly thinking about running for President. But not until after November, you understand. The former Speaker of the US House [...]

Obama Guy Explains How We’ve Got It All Wrong

Goose Nissley — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:12:52 +0000

An angsty young Obama supporter – our old friend James “The Obama Guy” (Listen to all Obama Guy’s appearances here) – is pretty displeased at the way that President Obama is being portrayed right now. James explains to me that Obama capped the oil well, nominated a wonderful woman to the nation’s highest court, and [...]

Catching up with the Huckster

Goose Nissley — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:01:53 +0000

Of late, many of the intelligent folks were dismissing the Presidential possibilities of one Mike Huckabee. After the tragic incident in recent months involving a criminal he pardoned as Governor of Arkansas, it was thought that pardon problems would be a pickle in primary season. But even more than that, one just didn’t get the [...]

There’s a new kind of flip-flop in Washington. The power flip flop. One day the Republicans are flying high with their man on Pennsylvania Ave and good footing in both houses. The next, Democrats are on top with a majority in the houses and their man in the Oval office. Then an election spins out [...]

A Tribute to the President’s Words, with BBMak

GooseRadio Podcast Special – In honor of the beauty of President Obama’s recent speeches – including the State of the Union and his Super Bowl campaign infomercial with Katie Couric – we were really inspired. We thought it was time to pay appropriate tribute to our wordsmith in chief. Therefore, we offer you this special [...]

With Some Hours to Think on It – State of the Union Reaction

Goose Nissley — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:02:39 +0000

We now have a good amount of hours between us & President Obama’s State of the Union. With these have come time for pondering just what the address meant, how it was received, and what the future holds. Here now, are the GooseRadio contributors, with their lively post-game reactions to the speech. Also, check out [...]

In the past few days, Republicans have been feeling an extra ounce of chutzpa with a surprise election victory in liberalisms’ heartland of Massachusetts. [...]

Huckabee Won’t Run in 12 (Video)

Goose Nissley — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 06:03:03 +0000

Listen to this… The Huckster appearing with Greta Van Sustren on FoxNews there. Logic would dictate that the former Arkansan executive ought not use the phrase ‘likely the beginning of the reelection of BO‘, if he was intent on gearing up for a run at said BO in a couple years. I think we might [...]

Beck & Palin Make News

Goose Nissley — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:00:08 +0000

The Talking Points Memo had these moving pictures from Sarah Palin’s interview earlier today with Glen Beck… You gotta give Glenn major plaudits for the follow up question. Can you see Sean Hannity pressing that inquiry? NAY! That man would have simply reached for his script and recited whatever silly bullet point was called for [...]

Clintons on Obama – A Phony, Not Ready

Goose Nissley — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:53:04 +0000

I’ve read precisely 6 pages of the new and explosive book Game Change, and already it has more than paid for itself in sheer political mirth. It is unfortunate that Senator McCain did not have this book during the campaign in ’08. If he had, he could have centered his entire campaign around the assessment [...]

Obama’s Spending – in Miles Per Hour

Sometimes the sheer magnitude of the numbers is hard to grasp when it comes to just how much the Obama-stration (Ok to shorten administration?!… let’s keep going with that) is spending. Here’s an outstanding analogy from the noble proprietor of The Politcal Math Blog… Gracious thanks to GooseRadio Facebook friend Aaron for drawing our attention [...]

Awe Inspiring Al Gore Climate Poem Video

Goose Nissley — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:58:13 +0000

The humorous way in which Al Gore carries himself – in tandem with his claims of internet authorship and ‘lockbox’ lore – have made the former VP and top job aspirant one of the most entertaining political fixtures of the decade. This week, he added to that legend by reading aloud an epic poem he [...]

A Tribute to an Under-Appreciated President

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:23:18 +0000

This here is a tribute to the greatest president of my lifetime. A man who carried himself with great dignity, humility, and upright character. A man who, not even a year into his presidency, was thrown into a tragedy that would define the rest of his presidency. He chose a path that would bode great [...]

The Child Ventures Forth

Goose Nissley — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:10:40 +0000

On a week where the praise has gushed as a fountain for our new President. I thought it perhaps wise, for us to again behold a reminder that 99% of the hype now being bestowed upon President Obama is devoid of anything resembling accomplishments. Granted, this is because his greatest accomplishment so far is being elected. And don't he talk good?!

Josef Stalin & Sarah Palin’s Face

Goose Nissley — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:14:13 +0000

Things are getting spooky in Siberia. Tomorrow, Russians may very well name Josef Stalin as the man they believe to be the greatest Russian in history. Russia’s influential television outlet, Rossiya, is staging a year long poll for Russians the country over to weigh in on who they believe to be their greatest countrymen. From [...]

Rick Warren, Taffy, Katy Perry & Moral Toxicity

Goose Nissley — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 19:24:39 +0000

Obummer's recent request that Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren deliver the invocation at his inauguration next month made jaws gape all over. The left took up arms after the announcement, saying that Warren's positions on abortion and gay rights were out of the mainstream. The right encountered a mixture of dumbfounded-ness, pleasant surprise, and cautious suspicion over The Child's motives.
