Some TeeVee Creep Gets Close To Obama

Oh look a creep.Here, according to showbiz site TMZ.com, is “the most hated man in reality TV,” who somehow got “into Obama’s face” yesterday, at a BBQ joint in Virginia somewhere. This, according to TMZ, is proof that the Secret Service is trying to kill Barack Obama. [TMZ]

  1. And he’s wearing a Cubs hat!!!! That should have instantly tipped the Secret Service off…

  2. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 1:04 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Who now?

  3. OneSarcasticMexican says at 1:06 pm, August 21st, 2008

    What is this “reality TV” you talk about?

  4. La Cieca says at 1:07 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Whoa, Spencer Pratt is looking rough!

  5. 4tehlulz says at 1:08 pm, August 21st, 2008

    ZOMG that’s Obama’s VP!

  6. Sharif DelMonte says at 1:09 pm, August 21st, 2008

    John Kasich has really let himself go.

  7. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:10 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Come on. It’s not like he was wearing a white robe and pointy hat. How could they know he might be a threat?

  8. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 1:10 pm, August 21st, 2008

    I have no idea who this idiot is but a quick google tells me that Danny Bonaduce would have been good at handling him.

  9. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:10 pm, August 21st, 2008

    …I thought Anne Coulter hated Hopey?!

  10. grendel says at 1:10 pm, August 21st, 2008

    I can practically hear the “Woooo” that goes with that thumbs up through the picture

  11. Dave J. says at 1:10 pm, August 21st, 2008

    I think I used to play hackey sack and listen to Pearl Jam bootlegs with that guy in college.

  12. Wait aren’t those four Iranian missiles in the background?

  13. DoctorCulturae says at 1:11 pm, August 21st, 2008

    United States of Twitnits. And one WANTS these people to vote for you?

    And why no talk about Hopey’s courage in the face of bonkers racist wingnuts in this country?! See Dem chairman of Arkansas.

  14. RuperttheBear says at 1:12 pm, August 21st, 2008

    There’s no way the Secret Service is racist.

    Simply no way.

  15. SuperRounder says at 1:12 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Wow. Ellen Degeneres got married and then let it all hang out.

  16. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:13 pm, August 21st, 2008

    …geez, I know he said they were thinking out of the box when it comes to VP picks but this shit is ridiculous!!!

  17. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 1:14 pm, August 21st, 2008

    This is certainly shaping up to be a campaign about the issues.

  18. Doglessliberal says at 1:14 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Somehow we have gotten to a point where it is a given that acting like an utter idiot is the ticket to fame and fortune on TV. Since I have not really watched anything since my Sesame Street years (except for a bad, bad Law & Order habit when I am traveling), I cannot speak to this particular individual’s degree of idiocy, but he cannot be too dumb if he parlayed nothing into making a living.

    But Hopey looks his usual unflappable, cool self, which of course means he is aloof and elitist. He is probably thinking, damn, I’d like an Honest Tea and a brie and arugula sandwich right about now.

  19. ManchuCandidate says at 1:15 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Wilmer?

  20. Poor Hopey looks like ass. Someone hand him a bottle lemon juice and tell him to start guzzling, or he’ll sneeze his way through the entire acceptance speech in Denver.

  21. Larry Fine says at 1:16 pm, August 21st, 2008

    This guy looks like the brother of that guy that claimed to have killed Jon-Benet Ramsey (another certified fruitcake)

  22. FalconerHK says at 1:18 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Look, it’s Barry von Hopey standing next to the Madam Tuseau’s wax version of Tori Spelling.

  23. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:19 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Doglessliberal: But Clay Aiken is SOOOO DREAMY.

    Television is a huge pile of shit, set out in a humid sun, surrounded by flies.

  24. Dave J. says at 1:19 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Doglessliberal: Since I have not really watched anything since my Sesame Street years (except for a bad, bad Law & Order habit when I am traveling),

    That’s like me, only I have a bad, bad porn habit when I’m traveling.

  25. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 1:23 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Thank goodness Jonny Reality Whore didn’t mount our fair Hopey.

  26. I think it’s a fine thing for Barry to be kind and personable to beach-bum retards. Who is this, again?

  27. Larry Fine says at 1:25 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Doglessliberal: Try watching Gossip Girl, and maybe your opinion of TV will change.

  28. Doglessliberal says at 1:27 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Dave J.: Law & Order: SVU is essential law porn.

  29. freakishlystrong says at 1:27 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Mr. Cool, meet some Reality show Tool…

  30. SayItWithWookies says at 1:29 pm, August 21st, 2008

    I was wondering what happened to David Spade. Oh wait — no I wasn’t.

  31. Doglessliberal says at 1:29 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Larry Fine: nah, I am weird and have zero patience for most shows. Our TV watching is limited to DVDs of shows once they are over, like the British Office (sheer genius), and the Sopranos.

  32. Voyou Charmant says at 1:31 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Anyone take a look at the comments on the TMZ page?

    Who knew that celeb gossip lovers were all a bunch of bitter racists?

  33. freakishlystrong says at 1:33 pm, August 21st, 2008

    And Gawd, what does one do to become the “most hated man in reality show tv”?

  34. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 1:35 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Boy, the TMZ crowd really hates them the Hopester. They are probably all bitter gay Hilltards.

  35. Doglessliberal says at 1:35 pm, August 21st, 2008

    freakishlystrong: yeah, I was thinking that. It must be pretty extreme. Maybe involving farm animals.

  36. That’s just Lynndie England doing her thing.

  37. AxmxZ: But remember how the crowd cheered when Hopey blew his nose onstage at a ralley. Think of the reaction should he snot-explode all over a Dem party bigwig. The crowd’s joy might be uncontainable.

  38. smashtheduck says at 1:39 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is true vice prez hair.

  39. Someone needs to check Obama for lice and crabs. He just came into contact with America’s sketchiest male reality show contestant.

  40. smashtheduck says at 1:52 pm, August 21st, 2008

    It really pisses me off when I’ve been outta smoke for a week and my guy won’t answer his cell. Then I see he’s out making delivery’s? WTF dude? Just can’t trust a dealer these days.

  41. rev_matt_y says at 1:53 pm, August 21st, 2008

    freakishlystrong: That’s a label he largely gave himself. It might be a tad more accurate to say “The most hated man on Survivor:Pearl Islands”.

  42. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 2:27 pm, August 21st, 2008

    i LOVE Jonny Fairplay!! He’s my favorite Manhunt model. Too bad he and Jeff Gannon never got along; the way Jonny had Jeff all lashed up and begging for it on their video was AWE SOME.

  43. Mdizzle says at 2:29 pm, August 21st, 2008

    This guy is the freakin worst.

    Speaking of obama though - make sure you check out the new single from Pete Wince and the Tight Black Jeans: http://www.makemeyourvp.com

    Pete is just another emo rocker who wants to be the vice pres…

  44. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 2:34 pm, August 21st, 2008

    These two have a lot in common. Johnny Fairplay faked his grandmother’s death to ry to win Survivor and Obama called his grandmother a racist to try to win an election.

  45. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 2:58 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): I rate this about a B+. I think the Hilltards on TMZ were more in the A/A+ range.

  46. gjdodger says at 3:09 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Would “the most hated man in Reality TV” be kind of like “the stupidest member of the Bush Administration”? I mean, there are so many to choose from, and they all have their attributes.

  47. Voyou Charmant: “Who knew that celeb gossip lovers were all a bunch of bitter racists?”

    All they do is sit at home and mooch off the system, calling in the local podunk fire engine lift when they want to leave and go downtown, couch fibers still grafted to their swinebottoms.

  48. Canmon (the Inadequate): “try to win an election.” Who’s getting nominated this week in Denver again?

  49. Wagamuffin says at 6:34 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Barry should be performing a “Bonaduce Bounce” on this dude.
