Delegates to the 2006 Blogofascist Congress were serenaded by tracks from Kos' 2003 album
The Rabid Venom-Spewing Lamb Lies Down on Broadway as they entered the convention hall. After all the delegates were seated, they were directed to rise and recite the Blogofascist Oath of Allegience:
We pledge allegience to the blog
Of Markos Moulitsas Zuniga
And to the Movement for which it stands
One internet under Blog
Invisible, with crudity and profanity for all.
(Report continues below the jump.)
Markos then gave his opening address, entitled "Crush All Who Oppose Us". The assembled delegates leapt to their feet with sustained applause on no less than 143 occasions during the speech, a new Blogofascist Congress record.
After the Congress was gaveled into order, Markos proposed a motion directing that Chairman Dood Abides and the Graphics Subcommittee be tasked with the creation of a "Blogofascist International" web banner incorporating the guy-waving-the-flag logo from Daily Kos. Motion was seconded by georgia10 and unanimously approved.
Markos then proposed a motion directing that Chairperson Maryscott O'Connor and the Profanity-Laced Rant Subcommittee draw up a draft rant excoriating Senator Feinstein for co-sponsoring the Flag Burning Amendment. Motion was seconded by BillInPortlandME and unanimously approved.
Markos then proposed a motion directing that Chairperson Phillygal and the Pootie Subcommittee draw up a schedule for implementation of emergency pootie pic rationing in the event of a server malfunction. Motion was seconded by Moody Loner and unanimously approved.
Congress was then adjourned for the day so that the delegates could attend a weenie roast being thrown by the Jon Tester campaign.
