Freepers Find Secret Obama VP Leak Article, Maybe!

Evan Bayh is vice president of nothing.Someone supposedly got a “screen shot” of some CNN article that was “taken down” before anyone could read it. The article relates in terrible, misspelled prose the curious tale of how an aide accidentally pressed the send button rather than the save button on an email announcing Barack Obama’s vice presidential pick. And then that aide put the turkey to bed and put the baby in the oven, and when she woke up a bloody hook was hanging right outside the window. The aide was then murdered for spamming 2 million Obama supporters with her crap. [Free Republic]

    Daily Kos crashes from the weight of the BREAKING and ZOMGWTFOTL NOOOOO diaries.

  2. Noodle Salad says at 9:23 am, August 19th, 2008

    “In a move to increase it’s mailing list”

    Implied librul conspiracy? Check.

    Misuse of apostrophe? Check.

    Houston, we have wingnut.

  3. Texan Bulldoggette says at 9:24 am, August 19th, 2008

    Boy, is that one of the top 3 most boring choices he could have made? If this is true, blehh….

  4. jinmoom says at 9:26 am, August 19th, 2008

    Well now he CAN’T pick Bayh because that would be admitting that the story was true!

  5. Darehead says at 9:26 am, August 19th, 2008

    Jeepers freepers, where’d ya get those veeper leakers?
    Maybe from Wonkette, 2 months ago? (first fist up yonder)

  6. confusionanddelay< says at 9:28 am, August 19th, 2008

    I know this is bullshit because the NYTimes told me that Obama doesn’t like mayonnaise and Evan Bayh is comprised almost entirely of the white goopiness.

  7. sanantonerose says at 9:31 am, August 19th, 2008

    O BAYH

    That’ll make a fabulous bumper sticker.

  8. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:35 am, August 19th, 2008

    …geez, never have I wished more that the librul media was wrong than now. I was hoping that an Obama presidency would be accentuated by random tourettes syndrome outburst from VP Joe Biden!

  9. Darehead says at 9:35 am, August 19th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Isn’t it the job of the veep to be boring, smile pretty, always make the boss look better and not stick a Phelps-sized foot in the mouth? And then when it’s all over, win the Nobel Peace Prize?

  10. tiny mexican says at 9:35 am, August 19th, 2008

    I like how they didn’t bother to change the Story Highlights either.

    Oh Freepers….

  11. ReverendGreen says at 9:37 am, August 19th, 2008

    I sense this is a major SWERVE by Team Obama, and his VP is none of the three guys mentioned… Hillary?

  12. HollowBrain says at 9:38 am, August 19th, 2008

    This guy seems pretty vanilla to me. And I don’t mean that racially. I just mean that he seems bland. And white.

  13. jagorev says at 9:39 am, August 19th, 2008

    I don’t believe it’s true, but the error-filled prose give me pause for thought. That article is about as well written as anything CNN ahs ever put up.

  14. econdave says at 9:41 am, August 19th, 2008

    When Bill Kristol starts saying that Hopey picked Bayh, that’s when we know it’s really Biden.

  15. Just a media feed to shut ‘em up.

  16. Gregory_of_Nazianzus says at 9:43 am, August 19th, 2008

    http://pikecountytimes.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/cnn_screenshot_obama_bayh.jpg

    Wow, bayh.vp. Obama has invented a new file extension!

  17. Obama has aides?

  18. mackensie says at 9:46 am, August 19th, 2008

    I took a quick look at Free Republic. I really feel dirty. Who knew those mouthbreathing knuckle draggers had computers and can type!

  19. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:46 am, August 19th, 2008

    I just hope to God nobody starts talking about McCain’s various leaks.

  20. Texan Bulldoggette says at 9:47 am, August 19th, 2008

    Darehead: Yes and no. (Dick must not have gotten the memo about being boring or smiling pretty.) The Veep also needs to be a prick; someone to take it to McCain & his Veep ala Biden or Clark. Bayh strikes me as a less accented Edwards; nice hair & nice to look at.

  21. 4tehlulz says at 9:48 am, August 19th, 2008

    mackensie: I assume you’re using the term “type” loosely.

  22. HollowBrain says at 9:48 am, August 19th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Also with Biden as VP, he’ll never be in an undisclosed location. He’ll be in North Korea telling Kim Yong-il to “Cut the shit already” whilst sipping Makers Mark. Then he’ll throw the glass against the wall and get him in a stranglehold until Kim screams “uncle”.

  23. chitownlib says at 9:50 am, August 19th, 2008

    Would they really have given that job to an intern? And why would CNN be the only source to report it? AND THAT MEANS THE WE-TEXT-YOU-FIRST WOULD BE A LIE!

  24. loquaciousmusic says at 9:57 am, August 19th, 2008

    IT’S NOT A SIREN ON DRUDGE. IT CAN’T BE TRUE.

  25. Quietly says at 9:58 am, August 19th, 2008

    Without my glasses on the photo attached to the CNN article looked like John Edwards. I started to mourn, thinking that Barry had committed political sepuku by picking Mr. Popular after the humiliation and painful memories of the Jesus Non-Debate Debate became too much for him to stand.

    Is this Bayh guy even a better choice?

  26. Not Gay, Just Thirsty says at 10:01 am, August 19th, 2008

    Obvious fake.

  27. Canuckledragger says at 10:02 am, August 19th, 2008

    This story is all wrong. It says an “intern” was responsible for the premature VEEP ejaculation. Interns don’t ejaculate prematurely; they just clean up for those who do.

    mackensie: Easy on the “knuckle dragger” jokes there, Mac’n'cheeze.

  28. JadedDIssonance says at 10:02 am, August 19th, 2008

    I don’t know where I’ve been, but I had been happily ignorant to the existence of the FReepers and their digital landfill. I hope someone shoots the hamsters running their generators. Too….much….stupid….urge..to..troll..rising…

  29. georgia_peach says at 10:03 am, August 19th, 2008

    Quietly: Yes, exactly. Every time I see a pic of Evan Bayh I think “John Edwards? Haven’t you been shamed out of existence yet?”

    Given that Hopey is probably not interested in working an adultery/love child aspect into his campaign, he CAN’T pick Bayh. If the Wonketteers can’t tell him apart from Edwards, what will the people who only scan the photos in the newspaper think?

  30. 4tehlulz says at 10:05 am, August 19th, 2008

    JadedDIssonance: You won’t get far; they’re very ban happy over there and they scrub posts.

  31. Darehead says at 10:06 am, August 19th, 2008

    If Biden is to be anything, might as well be veep. Less danger with his foot-in-mouth disease and plagiarizin’ past than if he were Secretary of State or something.

  32. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 10:06 am, August 19th, 2008

    I am not a believer and unicorns do not lie.

  33. badco/LoJ says at 10:07 am, August 19th, 2008

    I call shenanigans.

  34. The Real JR Revisted says at 10:09 am, August 19th, 2008

    Is it me or doesn’t he look like Kevin Klein’s Dave?

  35. Cape Clod says at 10:10 am, August 19th, 2008

    I’m not Bayhing it. (Sorry)

  36. mothermaven says at 10:11 am, August 19th, 2008

    HollowBrain: That is why Biden must be VP. Sure he has the experience, but the comedic manna that would flow out of his shoot-from-the-hip mouth would be ecstatic. Obama-Biden has verve.

    The only problem is that having another senator may not be quite the vision of newness and reform of Washington Obama has been going for.

  37. ReelectTilden says at 10:13 am, August 19th, 2008

    Darehead: I don’t know, I can’t picture Bayh shooting anyone in the face. Biden: definitely.

  38. loudmouthredhead says at 10:17 am, August 19th, 2008

    sanantonerose: How about “B. O.”? Of course, if he eventually picks Biden, you could have the slogan “Plugs for Hope”
    Darehead: You forgot the intervening growing season of beard, gut, and personality.

  39. DoctorCulturae says at 10:18 am, August 19th, 2008

    ReverendGreen: Agreed. Team O has used SWERVE to great advantage: with Hilz, MSM, Preznit Bill. To pick someone away from the contenders list will likely burn some bridges somewhere. But Barry has been very quiet generally for a while, even with Rev. New Age Falwell. What does this mean? …. [gulp] Hilz?

  40. Darehead says at 10:19 am, August 19th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: ReelectTilden: Hey, kin y’allz read or what? My comment said, “…and then get the Nobel peace prize,” so I was describin’ the formula for bein’ a good veep, a popular veep, the king of the universe gore-geous veep, not his successor, the personification of Great Satan.

  41. DoctorCulturae says at 10:19 am, August 19th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: Agreed. Biden is not the choice of the Angry Bitters.

  42. loudmouthredhead says at 10:20 am, August 19th, 2008

    The Real JR Revisted: Very good.
    Cape Clod: Very bad.
    HollowBrain: Could we please make him sing “I’m so Rone-ry” from his film likeness instead?

  43. ReelectTilden says at 10:23 am, August 19th, 2008

    Darehead: Sure, but without an evil VP, who are LaRouchites going to blame for the world’s problems?

  44. HollowBrain says at 10:26 am, August 19th, 2008

    mothermaven: Biden is the Martin Riggs to Obama’s Roger Murtaugh.

    Someone photoshop a Lethal Weapon poster, stat.

  45. Canuckledragger says at 10:28 am, August 19th, 2008

    ReelectTilden: The Queen of England?

  46. ReelectTilden says at 10:31 am, August 19th, 2008

    Canuckledragger: Well, she’s my go-to choice for international conspiracy.

  47. Whiskeybaby says at 10:32 am, August 19th, 2008

    has anyone else looked at the NYTimes’ rundown of potential VP picks for each of the candidates? There are pictures of each one and all I can say is, McCain really is keen to sew up the oompa-loompa vote, isn’t he? I have never seen so many permatanned gay men in my life, and I live in greenwich village…

  48. Canuckledragger says at 10:36 am, August 19th, 2008

    ReelectTilden: Are you an Executive Intelligence Review subscriber? Or its Editor?

  49. 4tehlulz says at 10:41 am, August 19th, 2008

    ReelectTilden: Why not the Jews? Or is that considered mailing it in among the conspiracy theorists?

  50. Darehead says at 10:45 am, August 19th, 2008

    ReelectTilden: They blame anyone and everyone who uses these words: peace, democracy, global, world, international, sisterhood, peace, brotherhood, global, world, democracy. peace ….

  51. Darehead: That’s it! Obama should pick Michael Phelps for his VP, he always wins!

  52. Just A push of the button and sorry pakistani…..all Send buttonare being removed from all inter computers as we read.

  53. WINGNUT: “Oh no, I meant to SAVE the nuclear strike!!”

  54. Darehead says at 11:06 am, August 19th, 2008

    Godot: They can both swim, and McCain can’t, and think of the fab-abs! And, my friend, Godot: , Phelps is not waiting for you…because we are all waiting for Him.

  55. Larry McAwful says at 11:19 am, August 19th, 2008

    In a related story, a 21-year-old White House intern accidentally obliterated a third of Asia today when President Bush asked this unnamed person to order lunch. This anonymous, hapless 21-year-old intern instead pressed the “launch” button, reducing much of China, Korea and Russia to a sheet of radioactive glass.

    Civilization as we know it is expected to end later this afternoon.

  56. DoctorCulturae says at 11:24 am, August 19th, 2008

    Methinks Joe B. is auditioning for Secr. O’State. No cache for all the prep (cell calls, etc.) if Bear-bear goes for the guy the MSM is anointing. I think we should look where they aren’t looking…., for the one person to keep Hilz-Billz out of WH…. and it is too early in the morning to start the mint juleps, but….. Gore?

  57. sanantonerose says at 11:26 am, August 19th, 2008

    HollowBrain: Yes, Biden and his loud mouth will definitely get him assassinated first.

  58. Larry McAwful: Far Out Space Nuts Forever!

  59. I don’t Bayh it.

    Those Freepers are darn scary though.

  60. 4tehlulz says at 11:49 am, August 19th, 2008
  61. trondant says at 11:52 am, August 19th, 2008

    The average freeper couldn’t find his asshole with a map of DC and directions to the White House.

  62. thefrontpage says at 11:59 am, August 19th, 2008

    Doesn’t this Obamba guy who’s running for the president realize that if he’s just pick TED NUGENT as his running mate, this thing would be wrapped up?! Geez gawd almighty!

    TED NUGENT FOR VICE PRESIDENT IN 2008!

  63. As an ex-Virginian, living in NC, with a daughter working for the campaign in Indiana where this alleged VP p(r)ick is Senator, and who it seems attended law school at UVA, well…

    I’m for Kaine, because he supports the Metro Silver Line which will solve all traffic problems around Tysons Corner and West Falls Church, where I once wandered about as a lad. If it were there back in the day, we’d have taken it to sneak into Woodside Lake.

    Yep..a moderate Southern Governor.

    That would be the wise choice.

  64. If Hopey picks Biden and Walnuts picks Mittens we’ll have the entire hair spectrum represented with natural hair, plugs, combover, and wig.

  65. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:15 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Billary will do anything to fuck up Barry’s chances, even by buying CNN and running false flag “news”.

    Where is Billo the Clown (O’Reilly, that is) when we need him?

  66. DoctorCulturae says at 12:17 pm, August 19th, 2008

    StewPie: Buh-bye Bayh. Sorry, someone had to say it.

  67. Texan Bulldoggette: Maybe not so boring. Can you say, “Mark Foley”? http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/118505449_c3626603bf.jpg

  68. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:26 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Oscar Folsom Cleveland: “Where is Billo the Clown (O’Reilly, that is) when we need him?”

    Sorry, too much coffee….I meant Billo the Clown Kristol! Is he reporting that Lieberman is Barry’s Veep yet?

  69. Godless Liberal * says at 12:48 pm, August 19th, 2008

    I am sad that that is such a fake image. I was all set to sport my O HAI BAYH shirt.

  70. CivicHoliday says at 1:15 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Wow. Spooky. I actually had a nightmare last night that I was working for the Obama campaign and found out Bayh was going to be Veep and couldn’t get anybody to change their minds about it. (I have obviously been reading Wonkette too much - my brain is infested, and sleepytime is overrun with politics)

    But seriously, we can’t have either Bayh or Biden. Because then the team would be OB - a brand of tampons. Nothing says lets-gross-out-white-dudes more than a tampon with no applicator.

  71. lawrenceofthedesert says at 1:26 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Obama from IL; Bayh from IN. Sec. of State will be from WI, Defense from MI, Agriculture from MO.

    Secession once again rears its ugly head!

  72. Hooray For Anything says at 1:40 pm, August 19th, 2008

    lawrenceofthedesert: Still much better than a bunch of people from Texas, Regent University, and Mordor

  73. KittyKatMan says at 2:01 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Drudge has a gey siren, I think freepers should just have a rotating neuse.

    I love Biden and I’m offended that some say Biden has hair plugs. They’re not plugs! They’re just husky follicles.

  74. Darehead says at 2:21 pm, August 19th, 2008

    CivicHoliday: Agreed, we don’t even have homosexuals in high pubic office, let alone bi’s and both are bi!

  75. Quick rundown of various pointers to fakeness:

    http://kitsch-posh.com/2008/08/19/evan-bayh/

  76. Hearing the rumor that Obama released his VP choice via text, McCain jumped on the bandwagon and had his aides send out his veep choice via email. Unfortunately, his supporters still will not find out until the end of the month because they are busy wading through their inboxes, comparing prices for the cheapest viägrä and trying to contact lonely, hörny houséwivés whose husbands are always out of town. McCain would have emailed it himself, but computers scare him. They run on electricity and everyone knows electricity is the ejaculate of the Devil.

  77. was it just assumed this idiot intern is a woman? lame.
