Terrific. Reince Priebus implicated in suppressing minority votes

– Implicated in voter caging: While Priebus was chair of the Wisconsin GOP, the state party engaged fomented voter fraud conspiracies and hatched a voter caging plot with well-funded right-wing allies to suppress minority votes. One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross said, “When voter suppression allegations have surfaced in Wisconsin for the past decade, the name Reince Priebus isn’t far behind.”

So there’s a new face, but it’s still the same old party.

1. He thanked Jesus for winning him the position as RNC chairman...
I'm sure Jesus has a special fondness for moneygrubbing Republicans.

4. Were there 97 Jesus' dressed as R's in that group?
This is precisely one of those whom Jesus spoke to watch out for, those that desire power at the expense of everyone else; trapped by his own hubris and vanity, he will fall as so many have before him. Hypocrites rarely survive scrutiny, although when exposed, little is done to stop them or their followers.

5. Apparently there is some debate over the proper pronunciation of his name...
The general consensus seems to be something along the lines of "rancid penis."
Is that correct?

12. Prince Rebus? Reese's Pieces?
Reince Priebus is an anagram of penis brie cure, among other things.

8. I heard him say he is from the new grass roots movement. Sounds like teabaggery. Anyone else hear
this?  I would like to be sure I heard him correctly.

13. I heard Priebus speaking for the first time yesterday.
Within the first three words I could tell I didn't like him. Something about his tone of voice turned me off big time.
