Labeling A Stooge A Stooge

• May 1, 2009

As regular readers can probably tell, we here at Say Anything aren’t exactly fans of North Dakota Senator Kent Conrad. We feel the guy is the consummate political hack. He has long since abandoned all but the most basic pretenses of representing North Dakota, having long ago set up permanent residence on the east coast only choosing to return to the state he claims to be from to campaign, pose for photo ops and schmooze with his friends in the media.
So it’s no surprise that when my co-blogger The Whistler writes something about Conrad he accompanies the post with a picture of Larry Fine of Three Stooges fame. Because Fine bears a passing resemblance to Conrad and, well, Conrad is a stooge.

What’s amusing is that Whistler has done this so often, if you do a Google image search for Kent Conrad among the first page of results is…a picture of Larry Fine. The very picture Whistler uses.
Is this important or meaningful? No. But it is humorous.
At least, I chuckled a bit.

Actually they give the real 3 stooges a bad name.

You’re right Doc, Larry Fine was acting like a stooge, Kent Conrad on the other hand….

I have to give credit to Kevin for calling them the three stooges first.

You can help us out though by going to the google image search Rob provided and clicking on the Larry picture as many times as possible.

I guess that’s important with Google.

I heard that Red Ed first called them that before his stripes turned color to get his current wife to agree to have anything to do with him.

The guy says over and over, speech after speech he was against amnesty.
That might be why he is one terming it. At least you don’t have Martinez who was compelled to acquire his crusade speeches and burn them and send the ashes out to sea so no one could ever read them again. The guy [promised over and over, speech after speech he was against AMNESTY. That might be why he is one terming it.

To the tune “The Times they are a Changing” by Dylan.

“Come Conrad and Dorgan and Pomeroy Et al., Don’t stand in the doorway don’t block up the Hall. For he that gets hurt will be the one who is stalled, for the times they are a changing.”

Will be performed at the Tea Party on July 2nd.

Conrad is a stooge acting like a politician.
Old Republican

You guys have definitely popularized it, but the Three Stooges reference has been around at least back to the early 90s, when the trio first established their stoogedom. It’s a natural. I mean, how many times do we have to read, “Earl Pomeroy got his start in politics driving the car for, blah, blah, blah…”

Looks like North Dakota needs a “Tom Daschle” moment.

We finally got tired of him going to Washington and being very liberal, and come home to SD and try to act conservative.
