Wonkette Fundraising Operative “Neville” sends us this sad screencap from CNN.com that reveals the true state of Barack Obama’s finances. He has officially raised enough money to buy one gallon of gas and a pack of Old Golds.

is that $52 zimbabwe dollars?
I’m more annoyed by the Tony Snow byline. Man of “Goodness?” By goodness if you mean speaking in blah blah tones and evading questions with Cheney’s hand up your ass then, yes, he is a man of goodness.
Hope he is still left with some spare change we can believe in.
I guess the competition from leaf blowers cuts the take for raking.
McCain got $14 in Confederate money and a rock that looks like it’s quartz but on closer examination really isn’t.
i thought only illegals raked. you don’t suppose…
He should be a good sport and use it to buy one of Hillary’s horrifying t-shirts. Show some unity!
Damn, there goes the Nicorette budget.
Hey, why no jokes on how slow their building homes from the other headline? What, slow motion home construction not good enough for ya?
The new, “Can you give a dollar a week for Hope?” pitch finally worked.
ManchuCandidate:
Maybe it’s “goodness” as is “my goodness this guy lies a lot!”
Remembering Tony Snow, Man of “goodness”..
Lawmakers “drill” for compromise on oil…
Somebody has a case of the humorz at the CNN..
freakishlystrong: Maybe Ken is moonlighting there, too?
Maybe he could buy Kenya and make it the fifty-first states. How about them African Apples.
That’s just the amount he got with an actual rake. Of course he got bazillions more to give to Hillary and stuff.
Darehead: Ken DEFINES “media whore”…
Jesus Christ, you stupid bastards have just given ANOTHER 52 million to Al Qaeda. WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM SO MUCH???????
After the big speech in Berlin, $52MM ought to be about enough to buy a night out at a caberet, where he can sit depressively smoking Luckies and drinking scotch. A nasal-sounding host insinuatingly introduces “Fraulein Lisl”, a chanteuse in a tuxedo jacket and fishnet stockings who sings about die Haifisch. Then he can crash at the local youth hostel and wonder where the money went.
I think he blew all but that much on poker … check out his crappy ranking playing on Full Tilt:

Tony, you weren’t a man of goodness. You were a liar and a whore, but you were a handsome liar and whore. And for that we forgive you. You see, the goodlooking are always given a pass.
I raked in more than that in June.
If you want to know my secret Barry: Garage Sale!
That means I gave 48% of the campaign’s money last month. What cabinet positions can I choose from? Can I have sex with Michelle? I will double my contribution this month if you promise to incorporate my visage on a coin.
I will also promise to purchase and donate this bill for 5 billion dollars.

Of course, it’s being sold in GBP, which meas i probably can’t afford it…
nbawriter: wow, I just looked up my poker stats. I suck. But I have fun.

Any, actually, Obama4President on Full Tilt has only entered one tournament, which he won. That’s not bad. Experience I guess doesn’t matter so much blah blah make your own joke
The header was entirely appropriate. How many times did you sit in front of the TV and say “Goodness gracious, I can’t believe the shit that comes out of that man’s mouth.”
But, Snow…what an unfortunate name for someone in his current location. Doesn’t really have a chance.
Sorry for the spoiler, but Barack is scheduled to make a guest appearance on MTV’s “I Love Money” next week. He and Chance are gonna kick Mr. Boston’s ass once and for all…
ManchuCandidate: It’s not nice to speak ill of the dead…unless they were liars and apologists for an illegal war and are now rotting in Hell. Then, by all means, speak ill.
Lolo: Wow, I’m officially old, because that post about MTV’s “I Love Money” may as well have been written in Mandarin. It was a bunch of nonsense to me.
That said, I steadfastly argue that it isn’t my senility that makes MTV suck ass in my eyes. I truly believe that channel should go back to showing videos, with Flava Flav limited to Guest VJ duties.
I think CNN meant Schrutebucks and not campaign bucks.
What, with all the Clinton campaign being flush with cash…this was to be expected.
I’m going to order the $5 foot-long Mexican drug sub for lunch today.
Rold Golds?
He better get the reduced salt.
Must…sell..kidney…on EBay..for Hopey.
I knew that two timing gold digging bastard would suffer without me. If he wants to hang with those centrist HO’s and take sloppy seconds - good fuckin Riddance!
ManchuCandidate: So was it Cheney’s hand that gave him cancer? That manthing is toxic!
