PRESS CORPS

Obama Press Corps Hilariously Fooled During Secret Meeting

How did Hillary Clinton, who’s been locked in her Washington home on a barbiturate bender for the last 48 hours with the press clamoring at the gates, and Barack Obama, who commands an even larger, consolidated national press corps now, manage to meet privately (for hot bottled water) at that senator gal’s house last night? Easy! An unmarked van sneaked into Hillary’s side entrance (natch) and kidnapped her, while Obama took his reporters to the airport, locked them on a plane, and drove hastily to the meeting, where he violently ripped the duct tape from Hillary’s mouth and put her through bamboo-under-the-fingernails torture. And the press missed it!

Here’s how Obama’s Muslim terrorists kidnapped Our Hillary from her spider hole, and how Obama lied to the press corps. Lied!

Shortly after 10 p.m., a van sped quickly into the side gate of Clinton’s home, Whitehaven. It was unclear who was inside. Sen. Clinton has been invisible to the press corps gathered outside her home all day. To attend the meeting at Feinstein’s home, she would have had to slip unnoticed past a half-dozen cameras.

In an unexpected and unprecedented move for the candidate, Obama, D-Ill., shed his traveling press corps as they got on the plane with the understanding that Sen. Obama would join after his local interviews.

Right before take off, the press corps was informed Obama would not be flying to Chicago. Instead, he would be spending the evening in Washington.

Robert Gibbs, Obama campaign communications director, originally told the press corps, “He is not going to be in D.C. tonight for awhile so he wanted to schedule meetings.”

Gibbs later confirmed the meeting took place between Clinton and Obama.

Ouch, they got punk’d, or something! Here’s a pretty fantastic video of the reporters whining, too, about how Obama doesn’t ever deserve privacy again:

    Hillary has side entrance? Makes sense what with all
    thigh meat in the front entrance.

  2. AxmxZ says at 2:05 pm, June 6th, 2008

    WTF? First he got a pimp-cane, now he’s Jason Bourne? Next he’ll be spotted doing target practice on a little tin GOP elephant from a Luger.

  3. SayItWithWookies says at 2:07 pm, June 6th, 2008

    He lied to the press about meeting a woman? Let the impeachment hearings begin.

  4. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 2:10 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Later, BHO returned the press their letterman jacket and class ring and told them “It’s not you. It’s me.”

  5. Cicada says at 2:11 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Waaaah! Waaah! Why doesn’t Hopey love us? Why are we stuck on this plane? You’re tricksy, tricksy and mean!

    Where was this outrage when we were being sold the Iraq war?

  6. Vanity Smurf says at 2:13 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Her house is called Whitehaven????

  7. Vanity Smurf says at 2:14 pm, June 6th, 2008

    You’d think the press would have noticed Hilz climbing out the second floor window like Gene Hackman in “The Birdcage.” Stupid, lazy press corps.

  8. Domestic Goddess says at 2:15 pm, June 6th, 2008

    “we don’t have anything better to do than what we are paid to do.”

    oooooh, i get it. that’s how you are part of the employed 88%.

  9. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:15 pm, June 6th, 2008

    …who the hell WOULDN’T want a president that can ditch the paparazzi and kidnap his rivals in the dead of night!?!?!?!

  10. V572625694 says at 2:16 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Cicada has it just right. Uncle Barry, get out your pimp cane and whack these whiny bitches. They really do think they’re the story.

  11. Electric Zen says at 2:18 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Bill Clinton: “Yup, that’s how it’s done when you gotta visit a lady.”

  12. JtotheA says at 2:20 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Good, perhaps finally these vultures will learn something about the monument…

  13. ReelectTilden says at 2:20 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Vanity Smurf: She has a house with a name? Sounds pretty leet to me. Don’t let the bitters find out.

  14. The Real JR Revisted says at 2:20 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Pissed off Press Lady: “As it is in General Elections, the nominee is treated much like a President is. If he goes to lunch with friends, we go. If he goes to ride a bike, we go…”

    DAYUM. So if he goes off to the bathroom, y’all are there, too? Must you shadow him 24/7? How about alone time with his wife?

    No wonder Barry did a Brangelina. Next he’ll be hanging out in Namibia just to get some breathing room.

    PEOPLE. It’s not like he’s conducting secret torture business. He’s meeting with Clinton, not Castro…yet.

  15. problemwithcaring says at 2:21 pm, June 6th, 2008

    “If the president goes bike riding, we go with him. I mean, that’s what we’re here for.We would have been happy to sit on the run-way.”

    The pisstivity is pallatable.

  16. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:22 pm, June 6th, 2008

    How’s a man supposed to get some sweet alone time with his wife with
    all of those jackals hovering within 5 feet of him at all time? If he had to meet the Harpy
    first to get some quality time with Michelle, so be it.

    It’s also very touching to see the level of moral outrage reporters can get over not being told
    about the meeting with Clinton, when they couldn’t be bothered with trivial stories like an invented war,
    a trashed economy, etc over the past 8 years.

  17. Rodney Badger says at 2:24 pm, June 6th, 2008

    For some reason this reminds me of a time in High School when I sneaked out of the house to get drunk with my friends. When I came home my Mom was waiting for me with this really depressing Rachel Maddow sadface that will haunt me to my grave. If Obama got back on the plane with puke in his hair and only one shoe then it would be even closer.

  18. Vanity Smurf says at 2:27 pm, June 6th, 2008

    I would have thought her lair was called “Satis House.” Anybody who gains admittance, be sure to check her clocks.

  19. AxmxZ says at 2:27 pm, June 6th, 2008

    problemwithcaring: Everyone is missing the point. Hopey’s aura is addictive. Like crack or political blogs. People who had spent a certain amount of time basking in it go into withdrawal once it’s removed, even for a brief window of time. Symptoms include … well, what we saw on the tape: depression, pissiness and inability to cope with the horrors of the world.

  20. The Real JR Revisted says at 2:29 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: when they couldn’t be bothered with trivial stories like an invented war, a trashed economy, etc over the past 8 years.

    WORD UP.

    Meanwhile the Senate report that’s out about how the administration straight LIED to get into the war… Why is this not front page news? Where’s your effing moral outrage now?

  21. sezme says at 2:32 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Wow, they had all those jackals on the plane at one time and restrained themselves from blowing it up? Very classy, Barry!

  22. blogfather says at 2:33 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Then, he raped the cunt in the ass, because that’s all she worth, and hung the bitch.

    or wait, they weren’t in Alabama were they?

  23. Waaaaaaaaaaaambulance! Call it! Quickly!

  24. Paultardville says at 2:36 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Ha ha, Obama hijacked the media! On a plane!

  25. Lord Humungus says at 2:38 pm, June 6th, 2008

    If I’d been forced to follow him everywhere for the last 6 months only to be left idling on the tarmac while he pulls off some cloak and dagger capers and got scooped on the story by some DC homebaser, I’d probably be pretty dang pissed too.

  26. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:40 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Paultardville: I’m TIRED of these motherfuckin’ press on my motherfuckin’ PLANE!

  27. Paultardville says at 2:47 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: It would be insulting to snakes to compare them to political reporters.

  28. graceless says at 2:49 pm, June 6th, 2008

    She named her house? Did she name the furniture too?

  29. StupidGeek says at 2:49 pm, June 6th, 2008

    This is the best practical joke, ever! Good one, Barry. I didn’t think it was possible, but I like him more and more every day!

  30. graceless says at 2:50 pm, June 6th, 2008

    What are the appliances called?

  31. sweetladyirony says at 2:50 pm, June 6th, 2008

    OOOO!!!! Wonkette looks so fancy on this Macbook. I am going to steal it from my friend.

  33. Johnetic says at 2:55 pm, June 6th, 2008

    This would have never happend if CNN would just take my suggestion and replace the press corps with Hollywood Paparazzi. There would be camera monkeys hanging in the trees like squirrels everyplace he goes. But then, they would have gotten scooped by Perez Hilton.

  34. capitol-hillbilly says at 2:56 pm, June 6th, 2008

    THAT’S THE WAY IT’S DONE, DAMMIT! now the press will have to destroy him …

  35. Servo says at 3:01 pm, June 6th, 2008

    He’s Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell.

  36. bess marvin, girl detective says at 3:04 pm, June 6th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: totally unnecessary and worse, not funny

    The media all need to be shot. The guy should’ve just said “We wanted them to meet in private, meaning without you motherfuckers there.” I mean, he could substitute another word for “motherfuckers”, but you get my drift.

  37. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:06 pm, June 6th, 2008

    I caught the rebroadcast of Gretta last night on Fox, with their “reporters” stating that Hillary was in her house, and that there was no way she could get by them.

    SayItWithWookies: Pure Genius!

  38. Shypixel says at 3:07 pm, June 6th, 2008

    graceless: Yes. Inside Whitehaven’s stately walls you can find Whitecouch, Whitestools, the Whiteoven and Whitefridge. Don’t hate on Hillz, she is trying to undo years of oppression against white people in this country.

  39. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:09 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Exclusive: Must credit Wonkette and Lionel Hutz Esq.

    Everyone is wondering what was said between Barack and Hillary. Where here is the exclusive transcription of what Barack said:

    You are looking very fine. I am serious.

    But I am not here to tease you with words. Compliments and flattery are nice, but I can offer you much, much more. After you hear what I have to say, I am certain you will agree that I got what you need.

    When we are together, I will not merely whisper into your ears sweet words that will melt your heart and prove to you that you are the most precious creature I have ever laid my eyes upon. No, in addition to such various whisperings, I will provide you with all the love a real woman like yourself requires. I will pamper you. I will wine you and dine you. I will make your dreams come true.

    I will sex you wild.

    First, I will take you to the finest in entertainment and shows. Together, we will enjoy the ballet, the opera and Luther. I will dress in an expensive silk suit and take you by the hand and lead you to our exclusive box seats at the concert. We will be surrounded by the majesty of the arts, including a theater that is very old and has seats that are upholstered with luxurious red velvet. It will be exquisite.

    I will then provide you with fine dining. We will consume a meal at the finest four-star restaurant in the city. We will be served lobster, oysters, caviar and cheese. I will order this meal in French, which will make you wet. We will be served fine wine, french bread and corn. It will be a meal for a king and queen.

    There will also be cloth napkins.

    Upon completion of the meal, I will take you on a walk through the park. The lights of the city will sparkle around us. The moon will be visible, as well. We will take a ride in a luxurious limousine that contains a TV, all at my expense. I will provide the $70 necessary for this romantic ride.

    Girl, it will then be time for me to give you my love. We will return to my lavish apartment, and I will remove all your clothes, including your bra, your panties and your socks. I will take my time and not make a single mistake.

    What’s going on here? Techies running a has been software site on the side? Every time I click “Next”, I get these two cows.

  44. WadISay says at 3:28 pm, June 6th, 2008

    In Gibbs’ tell-all best seller due out in 2015, he will remember this as the start of his suspicions that Barry was a Black guy who liked to sneak around outside after dark.

    bess marvin, girl detective: Dana Perino’s answer would have been, You were there. You were there the whole time.

  45. Gormogon says at 3:36 pm, June 6th, 2008

    Yep, press corps is in the tank for Obama every bit as much as Newell is… sitting on a tarmac for hours… what losers. What great “reporters”!

    Obama probably snuck off to Bilderberg BEFORE the Nissan Pavillion rally… and no diggety he told Hillary that Bilderberg was behind *him* this year.

    Obama/Sibelius vs McCain/Sanford? Both govs are Bilderberging this year.

  46. gurukalehuru says at 3:39 pm, June 6th, 2008

    I’m surprised she didn’t name it “Hard Working White American Haven.”
    Puts Whitewater in a new light.
    She’s just obsessed with living in a White House.

  47. Merkin says at 3:42 pm, June 6th, 2008

    What a bunch of whiny babies. “Why can’t we go to the potty with Barry? It is expected that the press corps always go to the potty with the presumptive nominee! Is he going number one or number two? Why are we not being toooooold? What is the rationaaaaaaale?”

  48. S.Luggo says at 3:47 pm, June 6th, 2008

    The Washington press corps wasn’t invited to Jenna’s secret Mormon wedding in Texas either. (FLDS sex-slave tweenagers were Jen-Jen’s bridesmaids, btw.) And so now when Hiltz gets a visit from Barry they get, like, all bitchy, teary and whiney, those sexists. This is why Hlillary never got a fair shake during the primaries.

  49. bitchincamaro says at 3:53 pm, June 6th, 2008

    @bess marvin, girl detective : I totally agree. Sometimes I can only manage cruel and unusual. Why do you have no reply button?

  50. gurukalehuru says at 3:54 pm, June 6th, 2008

    “When he goes for a bike ride, we go with him…” Yeah, right.

  51. “As it is in General Elections, the nominee is treated much like a President is. If he goes to lunch with friends, we go. If he goes to ride a bike, we go.”

    And yet somehow, with all constant surveillance, we still managed to provide not one iota of insight into the actual differences between the candidates policies back in 2000. Go figure!

  52. V572625694 says at 4:25 pm, June 6th, 2008

    JamesMichaelCurley: Same problem here.

  53. Very restrained using “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” poster and not “Mandingo”

  54. TheKnightWhoSaysNee says at 6:52 pm, June 11th, 2008

    Tricking the press corps termites is one thing; hijacking a planeload of them was a seriously dumb idea. That nobody has been sacked must mean it was personally OKed by B.O.
