Well, it makes sense, but it still isn’t what he meant to say, I suspect. But a slip of the tongue that inserts the opposite word really isn’t very uncommon or a huge fail.
Let’s see…as someone else from Wisconsin, we have
A-businessman who built a successful business up out of nothing who actually understands basic economic principles like (gasp) not spending more money than you have, versus
B-condescending prick lawyer who does not understand economics in the slightest bit, and refuses to listen to his constituents.
Condescending prick just earned his pink slip. Hooray!
Trollface. He got a big trollface he got the body of a troll and the face of a troll and he floats through the air, cause he's got a trollface. Trollface. says:
when he says dig in a hole does he mean the hole in his brain or the hole were his sense would be……………………….that comment wasnt a fail it was an ulltimate fail(if anyone had a problem of what he said dail 817 im a jacka** thank you and have a good day)
I like that you can see what appears to be his youngest daughter in the background, head falling in disgust, as though she’d been rehearsing it with him and he still blew it.
The lady in the upper left starts out with a smile, but then drops it at about the time he says “simple” (at least I think he says simple, but it might have been distorted by all the fail that was flying through the air).

I’m going to start a Failblog fail site. I mean, what is more epic fail than a site about failing that fails? Or are they just so common now it’s not funny anymore?
To get out of a hole you dig! You guys know you dont just have to dig down but you can also dig sideways and diagonally!! Really the stupidity in comments on failblog is astounding!
Fail. While it sounds possible to dig diagonally upwards, where will the displaced dirt go? You would basically end up burying yourself. Think about it, but not too hard your head will hurt.
You dig at about head height, the dirt you displace falls to the bottom of the hole you are in, you stand on the displaced dirt, you are now closer to the top of the hole. Logic. If you are trapped in the bottom of a hole and you have a shovel, you are not trapped.
Yeah that won’t cause a cave-in at all. You totally won’t bury yourself alive.
Please go dig yourself a hole and try getting out of it by “digging”. LOL You’ll be doing everyone a favor.
really disappointed in Fail Blog. I don’t come to this site for political content, I come here for a laugh – if you want to spin off a new site for political fails go ahead but seriously can we keep politics and politicians off this site, I don’t care what party.
Maybe all of you whiners should dig a 10 ft hole, jump in it, and then dig yourself out of it. Let’s all see how amazing your logic is then. please for all of our sakes try. I hear the beach is nice at high tide…
And BTW the Chilean miners didn’t dig themselves out, you illogical twat a hole was dug TO them.
If you’re in the bottom of a 10 foot hole, just you and a shovel, and you can’t figure out how to get yourself out using that shovel, then let me be the first to tell you, actually…let me be the MOST RECENT person to tell you…that you’re an idiot.
Hahahaha! So….you’re telling me that you may someday be found dead of starvation at the bottom a 10 foot deep hole with a perfectly good shovel? Well, at least you’ll win a Darwin Award. If you serioulsy can’t figure out how to dig yourself out of a hole than it’s you my friend, who has no concept of gravity.
Uh… They cut off the video immediately after he said ‘start digging’.
He might have corrected himself, saying ‘stop digging,’ but from the video, we won’t know that.
All I say is that I won’t rule this statement as stupid until I see the context.
I’m so proud that our teachers think the the newly elected Senator is a Govenor. Stick to ART. Then as long as it’s pretty, it doesn’t have to be correct.
;~)
He is correct.
If you want to get out of a deep hole, you have to be inside a deep hole. To do that, you need to dig the hole. If you want to get out of a deep hole, you need to create a deep hole first, before you can get out of it.
What a stupid video, What he said made sense if you hadn’t cut off the video. He was talking about digging sideways and up, if you can’t climb out. The implication is that the obvious solution is not always the correct one, and sometimes the difficult way is.
Everyone below is a republican!
Not that there is anything wrong with that
Amen, Republibro!
lies!
in the hole now
I have been a Republican in times good, and I have been a republican in times bad!
This can only be read yelling.
Dig up, stupid.
SIMPSONS QUOTE! Was just going to put that one.
Yes, with a fork.
Fialblog fail, the guy is right, you start digging, though not downwards, but in the side of the hole and make yourself a slope upwards
right. learn2logic, failblog.
Well, it makes sense, but it still isn’t what he meant to say, I suspect. But a slip of the tongue that inserts the opposite word really isn’t very uncommon or a huge fail.
There’s just no giving people the benefit of the doubt is there?
Actually I do. I would doubt everything that man says.
Howard Johnson is right!
Ah, blow it out your ass, Howard.
Alternatively you can dig steps on the hole walls and climb out
Alternatively you can dig a helicopter and just fly out
A roflmao copter!!!
Minecratft anyone??? lol
U MUST dig in a deep whore so you can out
U MUST dig in a deep whore so you can out
rando fails.
2 China!
Geographical fail…
But everyone says that China is on the other side of the world
O_o pleaze noes
Try somewhere in the ocean between Australia and Antarctica.
Southern South America is about as close as you’ll get to being on the other side of the world than China.
More like poster logic fail. How do they get out of the hole, by flying?
As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I can tell you:
1) The republicans frequently played a commercial saying “STOP digging”.
2) Ron Johnson is an idiot. This is not the only stupid thing he has said.
Let’s see…as someone else from Wisconsin, we have
A-businessman who built a successful business up out of nothing who actually understands basic economic principles like (gasp) not spending more money than you have, versus
B-condescending prick lawyer who does not understand economics in the slightest bit, and refuses to listen to his constituents.
Condescending prick just earned his pink slip. Hooray!
First time ever posting on Failblog and it’s in a political rebuttal, go figure. Probably a fail in and of itself.
Linky: http://www.theawl.com/2010/09/dystopian-wisconsin-who-is-ron-johnson
Also, the business he apparently “built by himself” with “basic economic principals” he actually inherited.
The real fail here is that this a**hole won.
Could you please all move over to littlegreenfootballs? kthxbye!
“principles”
If you’re going to mock-quote, at least get the quote right.
damn, and I thought I was going to be the one to catch that…
Mike proves his ignorance for all to see.
Johnson didn’t build the business, he married into it. The business was built by his wife’s father and her brother.
The only prick around here is Mike, and like most wingnut republicans, he’s a little prick with a Napoleon complex.
Never heard of digging diagonally?
Jeez FailBlog keeps upsetting me lately.
its funny i saw that in a comic cause earth apparently is affected by gravity. so it want fall all over you
Nice English you’ve got there!
form china he came to us through the hole
That would be irrelevant if it was done by someone with a bit of mining knowledge.
DIG HIS MOM DEEP IN HER HOLES
In that dude’s mom? Dude no.
i can’t be avoided we need the tax money
Take it for the team brother.
tag team on her.
Dig so deep that you come out of the other side of the earth.
Derp.
Facebook it, retweet it… no, digg it!
when he says dig in a hole does he mean the hole in his brain or the hole were his sense would be……………………….that comment wasnt a fail it was an ulltimate fail(if anyone had a problem of what he said dail 817 im a jacka** thank you and have a good day)
Uh… drunk?

i didnt get any audio
You can’t hear cause its underground!
Anyone who has played minecraft knows full well that there is nothing wrong with this man’s logic.
correct, even people who don’t should know. You can dig up, an upward ramp started from the bottom.
Lol, Nah, what we need to do as a nation is look down, jump, and right click to build a block underneath us, then repeat until you’re out.
Or find a Cloud Mario. Then jump, shake, land, repeat.
Why don’t you just wall jump, then?
Pinochet once said: “15 years ago, we were at the edge of the abyss; but today we´re stepping forward!”
Pinocchio once said: “Women love sitting on my face and telling a fairytale”
You must dig to make steps out, you idiots!!!!!!
Digging doesn’t mean down it can mean sideways you cnuts.
but we are in the internet, here we try to dig through the world, so that we can fly home from china when we are done
There was exactly one “mountain of fail” Senate candidate in Wisconsin this year: Russ Feingold.
that’s from dumb and dumber.. when they are stranded in the desert:
-Lloyd Christmas: “we’re in a hole.. we’re just going to have to dig ourselves out!”
haha!
Way to truncate the statement and take it out of context. Fail FAIL.
no no dig up stupid!
The joke is on Wisconsin — the actually elected this tool.
Anyone who has played minecraft knows full well that there is nothing wrong with this man’s logic.
+1
I’m so embarrassed. I’m originally from Oshkosh. At least I don’t live there any longer and can’t be blamed for voting for him.
The girl at the right looked like she was about to facepalm.
Well…the Chillean miners were in a hole, how’d they get them out? They dug a hole. Maybe everyone needs to re-think their logic.
this guy is an idiot…
If you dig deep enough, you’ll come up the other end of the planet, right? Right?…
Love video servers that are compatible with Google Reader!
I feel for the supporters standing behind him
Visit Wisconsin: Land of Holes!

Yea, because logically, you’re supposed to just fly out.
I’m going to start a Failblog fail site. I mean, what is more epic fail than a site about failing that fails? Or are they just so common now it’s not funny anymore?
Nonono, he didn’t say “hole” he said “whore”. and by dig, he meant have sex with. You have sex with the whore first.
AND HE GOT ELECTED. T_T So glad I’m leaving the state soon.
FAIL to FAILBLOG, is that right, to get out of a hole u need to digg.
LOL!
He really wants to get to China, doesn’t he.
Wait’a take things out of context once again, FailBlog.
*insert obligatory anti-republican jab*

Soooo proud of our new WI Governor. : (
I’m so proud that our teachers think the the newly elected Senator is a Govenor. Stick to ART. Then as long as it’s pretty, it doesn’t have to be correct.
;~)
@ 1:39 on Thursday, shouln’t you be teaching?
technically if the hole is deep you would need to dig gradually upwards to get out. damn you fail blog making me use logic.
Worst part is he won the race… gonna be a GREAT term
He is correct.
If you want to get out of a deep hole, you have to be inside a deep hole. To do that, you need to dig the hole. If you want to get out of a deep hole, you need to create a deep hole first, before you can get out of it.

I say we dig our way to the next country and GET THE F*&K OUTA HERE
Grab your shovels – ITS THE TEA PARTY
Problem: Our nation has dug itself a very deep hope.
Solution: Dig some more.
