Dan Rather: Jesse Jackson Paved the Way For Osama Bin Laden


Maybe it’s true! After all, Osama bin Laden would’ve never known about New York’s big Jewish population had Jesse not called it “Hymietown.” EVERYBODY WILL BE ISSUED NEW NAMES AT THE CONVENTIONS. [Morning Joe/MSNBC] UPDATE: Oh what the hell, Newell posted this like twelve hours earlier. Oh well, no way to take the post down now ….

    Think how much more awesome this will be in crystal clear high definition on Dan Rather’s show for that Mark Cuban network.

  2. WON’T YOU TAKE ME TO…HYMIETWON!

  3. masterdebater says at 8:38 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Oh, Jews. I thought when he called it Hymietown he was talking about that robot on Get Smart.

  4. Delicious says at 8:40 pm, July 18th, 2008

    you posted this earlier?

  5. Political Addict says at 8:57 pm, July 18th, 2008

    If Obama wins, I’m hoping for a similar mis-speak at the presidential oath by John Roberts.

  6. ForTheTurnstiles says at 9:14 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Sing along!

    Don’t let me down…

    Don’t let me down, Hymietown

  7. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:23 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Sort of like saying Henry Ford paved the way for TruckNutz.

    Dan Rather works for the New Yorker now? Who knew?

  10. kapish says at 9:32 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Dan needs a long rest in a rubber room.

  11. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 9:36 pm, July 18th, 2008

    For a second I thought I had travelled back in time to when I first saw this while trapped at work. Then I realized that Ken was simply reposting to ensure that the world gets on top of this news story and not that he might have missed something on the blog of which he is the managing editor.

    Q2: Win. No wait– double win for being in all caps.

  13. codfish says at 9:53 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Tiki? Tiki? Take that old white man out, Tiki! Gawdamn!

  14. tsunami says at 9:55 pm, July 18th, 2008

    dan rather is still alive?

    why?

    are you sure?

  15. Political Addict says at 10:10 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Speaking of spoken errors, listed to our presumptive-in-chief on Pearl Harbor:

    What the fuck is it with every white man in this country over aged 50 that… makes… wait… hold on… don’t I know this Wonkette entry from somewhere?

  17. josereyes.theroof says at 10:21 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Q2: As sung by Lipsitz Inc.

  18. Happy Fun Ball says at 10:26 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Umm . . . why is Tiki Barber on the same current events panel with Dan Rather and Mike Barnacle?

  19. tsunami says at 10:33 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Happy Fun Ball:

    easy. somebody has to block for him.

  20. JimNewell says at 10:34 pm, July 18th, 2008

    KEN HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING AGAIN?

  21. Happy Fun Ball says at 10:40 pm, July 18th, 2008

    tsunami: My favorite Tiki moment was watching him interview all his former New York Giants teammates whom he trashed in the press when he retired, especially Eli Manning, right after they won the Super Bowl without him. “Hey Eli! Remember when I said you were a loser? Ha! Man, we have to get those days back! Can I cup your balls or anything? Drink? Back rub?”

  22. tsunami says at 10:49 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Happy Fun Ball:

    LMAO

    indeed. his last few years were spent undermining eli. i don’t miss
    him and have never seen him on anything except sports stuff.

    he won’t eat or drink anything offered him by any former teammates…or
    so i heard.

    sorry…i take the giants a bit too seriously, i guess. jersey sucks in
    the winter.

  23. Wee Mousie says at 10:50 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Jesse Jackson Paved the Way For Osama Bin Laden . . .

    . . . and he Paved that Way with Ass Faults.

  24. Happy Fun Ball says at 10:57 pm, July 18th, 2008

    tsunami: I’d still take Joe Morris over Tiki in a heart beat!

  25. Buffy and Hildegard says at 11:06 pm, July 18th, 2008

    What’s the fucking frequency, Kenneth?

  26. wheelie says at 11:06 pm, July 18th, 2008

    My god, you have special feelings about Dan Rather, don’t you America? There are 300+ million people in USA, and yet not one of you have edited Dan Rather’s wikipedia entry (at time of writing) since this story broke earlier today. No edits since 13 July. Either he’s God or he’s shockingly irrelevant to you people. I can’t tell.

    Why did I ever get into this site? So much is baffling.

  27. ALIVE! says at 11:09 pm, July 18th, 2008

    I had to check and make sure this wasn’t a sponsored post for an HBO show where Dan Rather says crazy shit about BHO/OBM. But then … the comments would have been turned off.

    Get some rest Wonkette, you’ve worked hard (whitey) all week.

  28. Paultardville says at 11:12 pm, July 18th, 2008

    I think this is part of Ken’s master plan. I’m not nearly as outraged this time around.

  29. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:17 pm, July 18th, 2008

    PEOPLE. DO NOT WATCH VIDEO. READ HYMIETOWN ARTICLE.

    It ain’t funny, but it keepin’ it real, from a whitey point of view at least.

  30. Happy Fun Ball says at 11:19 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Buffy and Hildegard: That could be my all time favorite obscure cultural reference. Dan Rather being punched in the face by a whino would have been funny even if the whino just remained silent and went about his business. But Dan Rather being punched in the face by a whino who leads in with that question . . . now that’s glorious.

  31. graceless says at 11:24 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Jim Newell: I think he’s drinking still. Either that, or he didn’t think you posted it properly, and just wanted to show you how it’s done. Ken’s a little passive-aggressive like that.

  32. Buffy and Hildegard says at 11:26 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Happy Fun Ball: *tips hat* — glad someone remembers — I just noticed Ken posted this and then thought, “uh oh, hope that wasn’t misunderinterpretated.”

  33. Guppy06 says at 11:37 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Political Addict: Well, one did. Along with a whole bunch of its bomb and torpedo brethren.

  34. MinxieSutton says at 11:53 pm, July 18th, 2008

    John McCain paved the way for Osama Bin Laden by ripping off $1.4 trillion US taxpayer dollars in the savings and loan scandal, requiring numerous military bases to be shut down for budgetary reasons, leaving gaping holes in our ability to defend ourselves, holes the terrorists slipped right through on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

    That’s the ‘frequency’, you time-addled liniment-drenched diaper-wearing self-crapper. Now make yourself useful for once and pleasure the insides of my thighs with your tender, lingering, old man butterfly kisses. QUICKLY!

  35. irisheyes says at 11:54 pm, July 18th, 2008

    I have been hittin’ the Wonkettinis too hard this afternoon; I’m sure I saw this story this morning…prolaby jush me..

  36. Ken Layne says at 11:58 pm, July 18th, 2008

    Dammit was this posted earlier? I WILL FIRE NEWELL FOR THIS.

  37. Delicious says at 12:06 am, July 19th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Yeah, pulling a Fox News. We’ll have three of the same Rev. Wright posts on Monday. Lazy Wonkette Republicans.

  38. masterdebater says at 12:07 am, July 19th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts:
    You’re right! The video is just a palate cleanser, the article is the main course.

  39. graceless says at 12:24 am, July 19th, 2008

    Jim Newell: Maybe not passive. Perhaps just aggressive.

  40. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:29 am, July 19th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Right. “No way to take the post down,” eh? I’m calling my friend and advocate IBGYN Paul. He will reduce the power of the executive Wonkette and bring it down to the legislative underlords. This is, of course (I was thinking Pelosi but fuck it). No. It’s Tom Jones.

  41. PoliticalGraffiti says at 6:43 am, July 19th, 2008

    the rifts in this blog are showing. now is the time to rise up in arms, fellow comrades, against the elitists

  42. Anita Cocktail says at 7:35 am, July 19th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: Let’s start by overthrowing the new cocktail recipe!!

  43. Paultardville says at 10:37 am, July 19th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: I got my “READ ATLAS SHRUGGED” flag ready to go, just tell me where to camp out the night before we attack.

  44. bitchincamaro says at 11:47 am, July 19th, 2008

    Layne and Newell could easily work in my company; nobody’s on the same page here, either.

    DAN RATHER ON JESSE JACSKON COMMENTS

    Scarborough, only the best in floor editors for your show!

    Welcome to the year 2505!

  46. Paultardville: FYI: Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Randy Enos, first published in 1957 in the United States. It was Randy’s first and last foray into the world of porn, and pored forth over one thousand pages from her anal opening.

  47. S.Luggo says at 10:54 pm, July 19th, 2008

    Could be worse. Rather might have confused Obama with Archduke Ferdinand or one of the Pips. Possible.

  48. ElmerDinkley says at 12:32 am, July 20th, 2008

    dan rather is a slut-faced piss artist. fuck him.

  49. Jesse James paved the way for a Llama Ben Franklin? Yes, Mr. Happy Fun ball needs a good squeezing! Here, have some! Spoon!

  50. Next thing you know Bill O’Reilly is going to use this to blame 9/11 on the liberals.
