In response to the recent attacks on the MNGOP levied by MNPublius, MNGOP Chair Ron Carey released this statement.
“With the recent death of William F Buckley Juuuuuuunior we are reminded that it is the responsibility of the Conservative movement to stand athwart history and shout stop! The Republican Party of Minnesota is so far athwart history that we have decided to just say stop to the reckless and irresponsible manipulation of the Julian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII. He used unchecked power given to him by liberals to not only create this liberal fantasy of a ‘leap day’ every four years, he also removed 10 days from the year 1582 — a right clearly given to the states.
As well, we at the MNGOP have decided that any day whose title is bissextile has only one purpose; to infect the minds of our youth with impure thoughts.
At the next MNGOP State Central Committee meeting, I look forward to the motion being brought forward by Andy Aplikowski giving the MNGOP it’s new slogan. “The MNGOP — When we say paleo-Conservative, we really mean Paleo.”
PS. Michael, 1. you’re a dumbass. 2. in case you were concerned that somehow you missed this press release from the MNGOP, it should be noted that it’s not real.


Really Sean? This was a bit over the top… you’re just playing into his hands. Don’t let him get to you.
Brodkorb stated (3-2-08) since he started blogging on July 23, 2004 that he’s read some idiotic posts from liberal bloggers attacking “Republicans,” but today Zack from MN Publius published “the most asinine attack on a Republican I have ever read.”
Just four (4) words after Brodkorb states that Zack attacks “A REPUBLICAN” Brodkorb FLIP-FLOPS to “attacking the Republican Party.”
Brodkorb blogs about the Override Six [Override SICK], however, perhaps he over-reacted on the calendar scenario [LEAP DAY LOSER].
The saddest thing about Brodkorb is that someday his little kids will find out what he does for a living.
Do Republicans celebrate April Fool’s Day???
Kathy — every day.
That was too easy.
Brodkorb has kids????? Please tell me it isn’t true!!!!
DO NOT discuss Michael’s family, or anyone elses.
It’s about as tactless and stupid as you can get.
I don’t care for Brodkorb. I don’t like what he does. I think he’s a hack in the least likable sense of the word, but you shouldn’t ever bring up his family. Sean
OK, sorry, I won’t again. I’m just sayin’ that I try to live my life in a way that makes my friends and family proud of me. Other people should think about doing the same.
Brodkorb fills a niche. What he writes is pretty preditible stuff — you kind of know its coming. I wouldn’t let it get to you.
It doesn’t get to me - I never read it anymore.
Broadkorb’s not completely discredited?
