After veritable days of speculation about where Barack Obama would deliver an inspirational speech to the German people — the sausage barn where JFK declared he was a donut? the Reichstag? Angela Merkel’s bosom? — we finally get an answer. He will speak in front of Berlin’s “Siegessaeule,” or Victory Column! According to Politico, it is “a symbol of Prussian military dominance in the 19th century.” Barack Obama will spread his message of hope and peace from atop a giant War Dildo.

HEAVY-HANDED SYMBOLISM






What an idiot. Barack Obama makes me puke.
perpetuating the stereotype.
Our war dildo is bigger than their war dildo.
Merkel was annoyed that he wanted to go to the Brandenburg Gate, so she thought this was a witty retort. Oh, that obscure German humor.
I do hope Barry makes it to a sausage fest.
Wait, when he’s done, will a geyser erupt from the top of it, like a symbolic hope-gasm? That would remind me of that Christina “Dirrrrty” video…
Next stop, the Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha, Wisconsin!
Could someone please photoshop an appropriately colored pair of truck nutz on the base of the HOPE Dong™?
If he were a real pinko he would speak from the cell in Stammheim where Ulrike Meinhof was murdered. Fascist! You just can’t trust these American liberals.
Ich bin Ein Binladener.
(note: that is satire.)
I would pay money to see Merkel and Barry whip ‘em out and see whose is bigger.
Rev. Peter Lemonjello: What would you do with the “attachment” on top, though? Leave it and just label it the “German Tickler”?
You know, the Germans made the jews wear war dildos.
loudmouthredhead: Gate vs obelisk: the Freudian symbolism is pretty clear. Nicht Kleben Sie Ihre große schwarze Ding in meiner Dame Loch, schwärzlicher Amerikaner!
shortsshortsshorts: Nono, that was the Kaiser making his soldiers wear those damn silly helmets:

loudmouthredhead: replace it with a bronzed whore diamond.
His Hopeyness at the Hopenis.
Forgive me if this sounds crass. But… I’m just relieved to finally have a Presidential candidate who is willing to do something about these damn Jews.
shortsshortsshorts:
Along with other types of flair.
Makeithurt: why so, honeysuckle? Hopey giving you the blues?
From TPM:
“But the report is un-sourced. The Obama campaign is refusing to confirm it, though it isn’t denying it, either. And Berlin City Hall declined to comment to us, too.”
For the record I DON’T CARE because I’ve got to get ready for buttsecs (gas tank is empty).
Sufferin’ succotash, the Siegessaeule!
TGY: Replace them S’s with TH’s, and you has humor
A massive dark brownish phallus is sure to featured in one of those excellent german pr0nographies documenting his life.
RuperttheBear: After Larry Craig talking about gas nozzles and jerking, I don’t know what part of your last sentence is euphemism!
Seems like a pretty crappy choice of a place for Hopey to give a speech, but 300 foreign policy advisors can’t be wrong.
Bandito: I dunno, it looks a bit taller than Dick Cheney to me.
Next stop — Lenin’s tomb. Followed by a speech before the statue of Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square and an important domestic policy speech at Mao’s grave.
McCain will be at the Joplin, MO American Legion for the Friday Fish Fry and dollar beer night
“a symbol of Prussian military dominance in the 19th century.”
yeah, great. i needed to be reminded.
and an echo of german military activities in the 20th…
not to mention the genocide.
but, hey, all is forgiven…mmmm, beer.
He’s massing his Army of Hope.
“a symbol of Prussian military dominance in the 19th century.”
So… it’s in Poland?
Oh Sara, you and your alt text. Methinks Barry has his own edifice to stand behind.
tsunami: In their defense, it is awfully good beer.
“When will we have a black president?”
“When a Bavarian angel dances on the heads of gigantic black penistower.”
WadISay: As one of Baracks’s esteemed policy advisors, I backed this decision firmly. Especially after learning we could have the turgid sculpture to ejaculate Lowenbrau at the end of his speech.
And he surely will be the champion of the religious right after starting with these fine words:
“At night I sit in my chamber and read the bible. Far in the distance roars the sea. Then I lie down and think for a long time about the calm and pale man from Nazareth.”
…OK, sure, it’s a quote from Goebbels, but that is sooo NOT the issue….
So Berlin’s Mayor will be right up front with a salute!
It’s a shame all the cheap flights to Berlin seem to be sold out. It would have been fun to head over there for the day.
It’s too bad that Leni Riefenstahl passed away because she could have documented this rally appropriately.
since the state is “a symbol of Prussian military dominance in the 19th century” will that mean McCain will accuse Obama of appeasement?
Ich bin nein muslimischen?
I think Barry is just a cineaste.

“Is it true what they say about the way you people are ‘gifted’?… Oh it’s Twue…. it’s twue…. it’s twue!”
That is the world’s first alternate energy, methane-powered dildo.
After all, the Germans, have to do something with all those wiener schnitzel, sauerkraut und Doppelbach beer farts.
Wir wollen unseren alten Kaiser Wilhelm wieder haben!
WimWenders:
Glad you got a word in between the dick jokes. Hopey is our schwarzengel, of course he’s roosting there!
I still vote for the Reichstag.
What? Have you guys seen the Reichstag lately? It’s all shimmery and glassy and well-groomed, and there are hordes of students studying and playing frisbee on its front lawn. It’s surreally utopian.
That’s not Dane-Austro-Franco transcendence!:
The Victory Column…designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian war, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873 Prussia had also defeated Austria in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/1871).
Sara K. Smith,
Larry Sinclair says that Sen. Obama can take the whole column. He supposedly has no gag reflex at all.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
