Barack Obama Doesn’t Really Want This Endorsement

Will you still love me tomorrow?Oh look, it’s the famous Ramones/Leonard Cohen producer Phil Spector, the creator of the “Wall of Voodoo,” pictured here in court with a “Barack Obama Rocks” button on his lapel.

No fist jab for you, wig-hat!

    I am soooo looking forward to the Spector-Voight debates this fall.

    Also, WTF happened to his afraux? In this pic he looks like some sort of midget Fonzie impersonator.

    Somebody’s positioning himself for a pardon… but he’s got the wrong party. Just bend over, grab your ankles, and recite the alphabet until you reach the double-u

    Phil Spector is the Platonic Form of Creepiness Itself.

    Maybe he’s in the running for O’s Veep? After all, I’m sure he’ll get the Clintonites back on board, one way or another. He seems to have a way with the laaaaaaaaaaadies.

    Imagining Spector’s fro on Obama… still hot. Hotter?

  6. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 6:50 am, July 30th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: Best. idea. ever. But where do those idiots from that MTV show fit in? Can’t we have them debate Phil Spector in his house? With his gun closet open? Cause I hear they all share the love of guns…

  7. slavojzizek says at 7:28 am, July 30th, 2008

    He’s just angling for a pardon in 2012.

  8. Godless Liberal * says at 7:28 am, July 30th, 2008

    Where was he during the primaries when Hillary could have “shot herself” in his living room?

  9. Larry McAwful says at 7:44 am, July 30th, 2008

    Don’t dis Wall of Voodoo. They kick ass. What act did Bill Clinton want hanging around the White House? James Fucking Taylor. I rest my case.

    I welcome this development. If Obama gets Devo to play at his inaugural, I am so campaigning for him in 2012.

    Sideshow Bob for Hopey!

  11. Canuckledragger says at 9:04 am, July 30th, 2008

    This is Hopey’s way of reaching out to the NRA vote. After all, what clinging bitter doesn’t support Phil Spector’s 2nd Amendment right to bear and discharge arms into the mouths of sad House of Blues hostesses?

    I mean, if the federal government takes away that right, pretty soon you will forfeit the right to have strange fruit hanging from the trees.

    This is the start of the slippery slope.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE! [*must...stop...typing....that...*]

    Leave Leonard Cohen out of this, please. He’s creepy too, but in a more interesting, less murderous way. Plus “Suzanne” and about a zillion other beautiful songs.

  13. Deepthroat says at 9:20 am, July 30th, 2008

    “Obama Rocks” HA! HA! word play… cause he’s a producer and stuff who works with rock music… genius.

    also, yay for Leonard Cohen…

  14. Kinda like the Spector at the feast or possibly not.

  15. magic titty says at 10:03 am, July 30th, 2008

    V572625694: What about “Don’t Go to Sleep With Your Hard-on”??? ‘Death of a Ladies Man’, indeed.

  16. badco/LoJ says at 10:04 am, July 30th, 2008

    Deepthroat: His attorneys advised him against his first choice, “Obama Shoots Women.”

  17. Deepthroat says at 10:09 am, July 30th, 2008

    “Obama, a real straight shooter”

  18. AnnieGetYourFun says at 10:51 am, July 30th, 2008

    I didn’t see him on Barackbook, so I don’t believe it.

  19. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 11:03 am, July 30th, 2008

    It just creeps me out, the way Spector is staring at that American Apparel SWIM girl.

  20. Outstando says at 11:05 am, July 30th, 2008

    But I don’t love you anymore, what do you want to endorse me for…I heard Spector is going to auction off his collection of famous goo raincoats as an Obama fundraiser.

  21. masterdebater says at 11:27 am, July 30th, 2008

    Looks like Barry has the bat-shit-crazy vote sewn up.

  22. FalconerHK says at 11:57 am, July 30th, 2008

    Man, that is one ugly troll. Like the “worst attributes” combination of OJ’s personality and Michael Jackson, Richard Simmons and Droopy the Dog’s looks.

    In other words, Joe Lieberman dressed up as Al Capone.
