Researchers have discovered that Barack Obama has some Irish ancestors, and one of them was a wig-maker. This gentleman caroused with all the classiest people available in Dublin in the 1700s, which is probably not saying much. [Independent]
HAIR HATS
does this mean that Barry is related to everyone who has ever lived?…
I’m just here for the anachronistic James Joyce references.
Were these the O’Bamas?
At least the genealogists didn’t make a direct ancestor of his, the 4th son of the Duke of Earl or some other nobility bullshit they tell movie stars/self important people with delusions of grandeur.
I’m still waiting for one of those dumbshits to find out that they were related to the King of France’s Pissboy.
Beaten on the cheap O’Bama joke already!
elitist ancestor
…does this mean Barry has a drinking problem?
Ha- And Michelle’s relatives on the Southside sew in lace fronts…It runs on both sides.
Random fact about people being related (and nazi orgies): Winston Churchill’s nephew was a Communist who’s wife was the sister of the wife of British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley who’s son likes to hire prositutes to dress up as Ann Frank.
well this certainly lends an entirely different meaning to the term “black irish”. i for one am happy to have barry on board the guiness train.
A sixth great granduncle is technically not an ancestor but a relative.
IS THIS GUY EVERYTHING *BUT* AMERICAN I MEAN GAWD SHIT I AM FUCKING PISSED OFF BUT I FORGOT WHY.
First the Dark Lord is his cousin, now this foo foo fuck. Barry, where’s your Bwana?
columnv: …anyone who actually traces their ancestry is an elitist! See, true Amurikans only trace their lineage to the point that their ancestor arrived in the U.S. Any admission to actually being from another country is something that Chablis sipping Amurika haters with passports do!
So were they eating babies, a la Modest Proposal? If so, I guess that was the Cheney side of the family.
Another Obama relative was quoted as saying: “…I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes. “
Dublin, 1745:
” . . . An’ so my good gentlemen, I beg of yee to vote me into the Periwig Maker’s Guild. And for the last time, I’m not a Moor.”
Again — is there no one this negro is not related to? What’s that old saying about a woodpile?
How did the O’Bamas weather the Great Potato Famine?
Sarah Barney Belcher says: Once upon a time and a very good time it was too there was an Inevitable Presidency coming down the road and this Inevitable Presidency that was coming down the road met a nicens little boy named baby Barack.
The Incomparable Tiny Valdez: …by eating Arugula, DUHHHHHHH!!!
Because everyone knows the Irish are the nig*ers of Europe.
I forgot who first stated this important fact.
The Replacements?
This confirms it. Barry’s ancestors are Irish terrorists.
Bewigged elitists.
So, Obama comes from a long line of sissy-boys. The Republicans were right!
Perot le fou: I have also heard that our President George W. Bush had a relative, a George H. W. Bush, who was a comparatively semi-fit president and who actually didn’t mess up everything he ever tried to do.
WIDTAP: WIDTAP, I didn’t know you had joined the McCain campaign. Or are you just working for Fox News now?
WIDTAP: …FAKE!!!: All the Irish terrorist are Catholic or Protestant not MOOSLIM!!!
So, based on the family history, could Obama whip up something for McCain? I hear the guy’s thinning a little on the top.
…now that I really think about it, this whole digging through Obama’s ancestry is getting old. Why don’t they just go all the way back to Lucy the Australopithecus and say he is related to everyone on the god damn planet already?!
Mahousu: …TROLLOP!!!
Typical. My Irish girlfriend loads me up with cheap Irish jokes, and the one chance I get to use them, and they’re all taken up.
AngryBlakGuy: If you mean he cannot wait ’til the launch of Dr Dre’s Aftermath Cognac, then yes.
(Hey, the Phil Lynott & IRA: Jihadi Faction jokes were already taken.)
AngryBlakGuy: True! What makes this such a story is this: not only is he related to a family in the Irish countryside (which we already knew over here), he also has people in Dublin city! He’s got the Elitists and the Bitters both covered. And this is just one country, one small country, in Europe. I’ll bet he’ll turn out to have both Russian and Georgian ancestors somewhere in his gigantic family tree.
That’s ironic, because McCain could use a wig!
I bet with one of those wigs his great … great grand daddy mad, BHO would look just like the white guy on the dollar bill. The 2, 10, and 100 too. Powdered wigs are the great equalizer.
Not one Black Irish joke! I am shocked. But I’m sure Rich Daley knew all along.
Mahousu: hey, that’s what the cunty trollop said. Who I would totally do if she weren’t a robot with no sex holes. Just a money printer down there, I heard…
Anyhoo, I’m Irish (and drunk) and my family was dirt poor and they couldn’t figure out how to fish or grow summat other than taters, so obviously the O’Bamas were smarter than my kinfolk, so I for one welcome our superior, elitist, wig-crafty Black Irish overlords…
Cathangover: “I’m just here for the anachronistic James Joyce references.”
“Just here” or just where else?
David Brooks, is that you? Confess. I will appreciate you no less. Or to paraphrase Joyce, in his run-on, Dubliner phrased, words and sentences in Finnegans Wake, e.g. failedyourmaster’sdegreeroralexamdidyou?
If the red slayer think he slays,
Or if the slain think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
He keeps, and pass, and turns again.
Barry is the batsman and the bat,
He is the bowler and the ball,
The umpire, the pavilion cat,
The roller, pitch, and stumps, and all.
Cue G.F. Handel - Sarabande…
They’ll never dig coal there.
Only The Terror would dare construct or wear such crippling head garments… or Heart.
Maybe they screwed up and it is really that his ancestors were Irish Whigs?
O’Bama on CNN this a.m. offering up an old Irish toast to John Edwards:
“May you die in bed at 95, shot by a jealous wife!”
See, he’ll be ready to lead on day one. It’s in his blood.
This is just what we need to revive our failing economy. Bring back the powdered wig! Quickly, before the terrorists win!
