Here is Your Barry taking a few minutes to explain, calmly and cheerfully, what his energy policy is, how it contrasts with John McCain’s, and why the reporter is kind of a douche. Obama gets a big F minus for this one because he did not hold this interview on an offshore oil rig in a hurricane. [Las Vegas Now]

Kind of a douche? I can tell from the screenshot that he is a fully vested douchebag.
“John McCain’s proxy..” Oh, Barry is a genius! And he should open his own anger management program. And that douche reporter said “tit”….
“You misstated my position.”
“I thought I was talking to you, not John McCain, but I’ll let you serve as his proxy.”
Ooooh, hardball. Hopey *does* have balls. Geebus, he’s cool. He even ended things on a more-or-less friendly note. I want cool rather than hot-tempered. None of this sarcastic ‘my friend’ bullshit.
I love this tough-guy-bully brand of reporter. They never know shit. I guarantee he’s got an acorn in his pants.
PWND. That white dude is going to have to give his second career choice a shot if he’s going to carry on like this. That’s OK though. The world will always need Pickle Licking judges.
Why are there Dennis Miller wannabes out there when even Dennis Miller doesn’t want to be Dennis Miller any more?
Or is that one of those Zen questions for which there is no true answer?
…and John McCain “wants” to debate him?! After seeing WALNUTS! bumble and stumble through his speech on the great ethical, social and philosophical debate that is “Miss Buffalo Chip” I think this is going to be a complete blood bath. Cant wait to TIVO it!!!
Of course, he can still thump Joe Lieberman, which should be a national (or perhaps an Olympic) sport.
yeah, after watching that I REALLY don’t understand the sudden conservative conventional wisdom that mccain would whip obama in a debate.
You should get Flashblock to stop those obnoxious flash videos, Sara.
Speaking of blocking things, I’ve had to resort to blocking all images from blogads and wonkette on my work computer of late. I’d really like to be able to support the site by bumping up ad views, because I spend most of my time at work on Wonkette… but things have gotten really kinda NSFW lately, what with Meet the Meat and SWIM and so on. Any chance you guys could tone it down a notch?
HA!
“Finish”
“Alright, that’s what I’m going to do.”
Grandes huevos! Grandes huevos negro! Grandes negro musulmán huevos?
Canuckledragger: No, the Zen answer is ‘a pickled herring’, or possibly ‘Mu!’
4tehlulz: You are correct. His high school year book had him listed as “Boy most likely to leave women fresh all day”
hahaha barry said “tit”
A bigger question. Why do guys like this reporter with square-ish faces and chubby cheeks HAVE to wear a van dyke beard? They immediately look like they are in cahoots with the Devil.
wander_lust: You’re right, both Barry & Douche Reporter said it.
yes, definitely from the Douche family
Terry: Chubby cheeks on prison pussy, nice alliteration, that’s why.
Are you sure that’s a real reporter, and not some over-the-top performance artist, commenting on the state of douchebaggery in the media? I find myself longing to throw him on the ground and snottily intone “is THAT change you can believe in?” as I kick him again and again.
jagorev: If the Swim Girl is too much for your workplace… I suggest you should quit your Focus on the Family job, and maybe leave Colorado Springs entirely.
Jon Ralsotn (Douchey McGoatee to the Wonketteers) like to say that he hasn’t made the jump to natioanl or at least a bigger market because he “likes being a big fish in small pond.”
Got no snark for that, just wanted to put a nice little bow of context around this magical little gift of awesomeness.
Hahaha, I love the way Barry starts every answer with, “While it is true that you are a tool and a douchebag, John, …”
I like it that Barry is sharing the screen Blackstone. (”When Barry Met Harry”) Maybe that will bring some of the magic barrack into his campaign.
Ah, Hopey McHopesalot kicks him some douchey booty.
Last night I heard a clip from Obama talking about the jokes people were making about inflating tires and tire gauges. Obama said about McCain and the repubs, “Its like they enjoy being ignorant.” This morning he said that McCain later said that, in fact, inflating tires is good for gas mileage and that NASCAR, who knows something about tires, says it is a good. Obama then said it will be interesting “watching John McCain debate John McCain.” It would appear that Obama is just getting warmed up.
AngryBlakGuy: repeat of the JFK/Nixon debate in 3…2….1….
Dude’s a kiss-ass douchebag for WALNUTS!, no question about it. Hussein handled him brilliantly, though.
What legitimate news organization puts such a mush-mouth on camera? His lisp is so pronounced you can barely understand what he’s saying! Looks like Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” was right–”I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear.”
Oh, wait…he’s not even that.
So this is what happended to Kevin Pollack’s acting career.
Barry totally destroyed that squeaky vole.
All the balls that guy has been gargling have really affected his speaking voice. They must have a bunch of interns with towels that run in during the breaks to sop up all the projectile spittle.
But other than that, being a complete ass, being wrong about everything and heinous to look at, he’s a perfect fit for teh teevee.
Whoa…..who knew Rip Torn and Bruno Kirby had a love child?
I hope Barry can take some time out from kicking McOldguy’s ass to
do interviews like this with Hannity and O’Reilly. He’ll fuck them up.
Haven’t watched the clip yet but from the screen grab alone you can tell Barry wants to rip off the guy’s trucknutz and shove them down his throat. In a polite way, of course. Because Barry is always polite, even while carstrating bearded satanic hacks.
jagorev: I understand about the Swimmer (bring back the slim slacks!) but meat? Do you work at a vegan butcher? Anyway, you can just make the window a bit more narrow and scroll horizontally so that the offending flesh does not burn the eyes of your sensitive co-worker.
columnv: squeaky vole is genius. it deserves to name something better.
like an alcoholic beverage.
Looks like a Fillet Mignon to me. Yum.
haha
Obama said “see you man” at the end of the show.
what a flippancy!
that John guy has a raging hard-on by the end of the segment. game. set. match.
Barry is letting his inner snark out.
This guy sounds like a chipmunk. The ones in the movie as less annoying
Ooh girl! Noyoudi’nt. SNAP!
wasn’t that douche clean shaven in The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!!!
That guy’s facial hair makes him look like he just rimmed an incontinent badger.
Barry’s great at answering tough questions. For a minute there I thought he was going to morph into that crazy old negro Rev. Wright and start complaining about a “media run by rich white people”. At least his medication is tending to control the stammering problem.
Barry is soooooo uppity! Talking back to that sweet little reporter man! Ewwwww!!!!!
Suffering succatash, that reporter just spat through the Internet and splattered me in the eye.
ForTheTurnstiles: Now that’s comedy! Wonkette comments are usually funny but usually in a predictable, “Don’t taze me, bro” and “such as” predictable way. I thought your’s was really funny.
