No More Kramer Photos In Senate ID Office

Goodnight sweet princeBack in the day you could wander into your friendly neighborhood Senate ID Office and while you were waiting for them to print up your card identifying you as Buttboy, Wizard-in-Chief, Senator Ted Stevens, or whatever, you could look at a gallery of sample ID cards all with the name and likeness of Cosmo Kramer. But somebody complained and now the great era of Kramer is over, except his name is still on all the sample IDs, paired with the likeness of some anonymous dorkwad. Boo. [BC/DC]

    They considered using Trent Lott as the new sample photo, but that was rejected for similar reasons.

  2. No soup for you!!!!

    Well, fifty years ago we would have put him upside down and stuffed a fork in his ass.

    That’s “Mark Foley’s Buttboy,” thank you very much.

  5. blogfather says at 2:43 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    HE’S A NIGGER! Sorry I couldn’t resist. After all, 40 years ago we would have ‘put a fork up his ass?’ Wow.

    Is that painting on velvet? It sorta looks like the work of that guy who did the sad clowns and the dogs playing poker.

    “50 years ago we’d have had a fork up your ass.”
    Great moments in Michael Richards’ history.

    Do they have a senatorial toilet foot-tapper ID?

  9. MoodProcesso says at 2:50 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    How about a Transcendence Monitor?

  10. masterdebate says at 2:50 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    But, what if your name really IS Cosmo Kramer?

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 2:50 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    It was probably Jerry Seinfeld himself–I liked him better when he wasn’t sleeping on money with super models.

    Let the guys have their fun. My first job out of school was working as a clerk on a construction site. One dept insisted on keeping their parcels separate from the rest of the project management office. It pissed me off because it meant twice the paperwork and the department insisted that I sign for the packages so I started signing for each package under an assumed name. I’m sure that UPS is used getting packages signed for by George Jetson, Johnny Quest, IP Freely, etc. The dept head whined that if he ever found out where this F. Flinstone guy was, he’d fire him.

    What a sad day to not have embeded vids.

  13. ForeignSickSpecialis says at 2:55 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    I think they’re prepping for… President Obama…

  14. Um, ok. RIP and so forth.

  15. blogfather says at 2:56 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Can I at least be the ‘Blogfatha’?

  16. Toonces says at 2:59 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    masterdebate: Nah, there are no Cosmo Kramers in the Senate (I have the directory on my desk). There’s a Will Kramer though - getting closer….

    I’m out.

    (Slaps money on table.)

  18. bitchincamaro says at 3:01 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Man, things are more fucked up in DC than ever I thought. Take this comment anyway you like.

  19. Wonkette does not like R’s and N’s. Is that “ist”?

  20. freakishlystrong says at 3:09 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Or “B”s, per otswana Meat Commission, and uh-oh, “B” is for Arry..

    Tawm: Nor does it like T’s or B’s… I thought I was good at pattern recognition, but I’m questioning my own skills right now.

  23. SayItWithWookies says at 3:12 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    @inkblo: Calm down, Senator Biden.

  24. ReelectTilde says at 3:12 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblo: I think you have what Ted Kennedy has.

    inkblo: Pure Wonkette Comment Poetry.

  26. queeraselvis v 2. says at 3:15 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblo: This needs a suitable title, like “Ode to a Boo.”

  27. Serolf Divad says at 3:18 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Why can’t we have a picture of Ms. “Barack Obama is an inadequate black man” on these cards instead.

  28. queeraselvis v 2.: That pretty much says it all.

  29. bitchincamaro says at 3:22 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblo: Wow. Talk about “inkblo”. WTF? hahahaha

    The 90s are over man.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:31 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblo: What the hell are you talking about?

  32. blogfather says at 3:31 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Does anyone else find that trying to read a comment that’s longer than one line is painful on the eye?

  33. articulate moran says at 3:39 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    Do they use Newman at the USPS ID office?

    Is Wonkette being hacked? Missing letters, that post from inkblo, this could be a bumpy ride.

  34. Godless Liberal * says at 3:42 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblot_0: I agree completely with everything you said.

  35. Son of Mark Penn says at 3:57 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    inkblot_0: hey it’s Mark V Shaney!

  36. lawrenceofthedesert says at 4:04 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    All Michael Richards photos have been replaced by Rev. Wright’s — or is that Ted Danson in blackface?

  37. AxmxZ says at 6:11 pm, June 2nd, 2008

    But is the new clean and smiling staffer also articulate?..
