Pepsi Center Elevators Try To Eliminate Clintons

Barry's dog eats elevator ballsBarack Obama and his Husseinbots tried to suffocate all three Clintons last night, in a Pepsi Center elevator. That is not Change We Need — it’s attempted murder! Read this SUN-TIMES EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: “The Clinton family — Bill, Hillary and Chelsea — got stuck in an elevator Wednesday night, shortly after they left their box at the Pepsi Center … The Clintons got stuck midway between one floor and the next, and ultimately had to climb out of the elevator, back up three-and-a-half-feet to the next floor.” According to this EXCLUSIVE, “Observers were impressed at how calm everyone remained” in the face of rogue black hope elevators trying to kill them.

    If this campaign drops below $55 million / month this thing will explode

    There’s a metaphor here. I am just too tired to reach for it.

    I think the real story here is in the graphic that ABCnews.com picked to represent their article covering this event.

  4. Bill, proper elevator function is greatly hampered by the addition of undue quantities of cheese fries. Just saying.

  5. SayItWithWookies says at 2:48 pm, August 28th, 2008

    That’s nothing — might I remind you that John McCain’s been stuck on top of the Batshit Ferris Wheel for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!

  6. StripesAndPlaids says at 2:48 pm, August 28th, 2008

    LIvin’ it up while I’m goin’ down.

  7. keepinitrealyo says at 2:50 pm, August 28th, 2008

    That’s what they get for retrofitting with all-wood elevators.

  8. NoWireHangers says at 2:51 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Climbing Clintons? Sounds like a circus act. Do we have video?

  9. PoliTacky says at 2:52 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Didn’t Aerosmith write a song about this?

    “Icy Indifference in an elevator
    Livin it up when Im goin down…”

    (Yes, I am full of shame for even knowing about the original song, glad you asked!)

  10. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 2:53 pm, August 28th, 2008

    That’s not the only dog Bill’s been fellated by.

  11. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 2:55 pm, August 28th, 2008

    The Clintons eventually took a freight elevator down.

    Uppity white folk. Trying to use the front elevators. That’ll show ‘em.

  12. JeffGoldblum says at 2:56 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Most awkward elevator ever.

  13. I wouldn’t have been worried in their place either. Bill has a whole herd of Secret Service following him still, doesn’t he? Gung ho types in black suits ready to die for a president or ex-president will NOT allow their subject to be stuck in an elevator for long.

  14. JadedDIssonance says at 2:58 pm, August 28th, 2008

    The hilltard$ will have to vote for Hopey now!

    In memoriam.

    Doglessliberal: Yeah I know. Something about failures and rescues. Or political C-sections. Whatever. Anyway, they should consider themselves warned.

  16. soytrucknutz says at 3:00 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Was Steven Tyler there? Didddy diddy diddy, down down down, nuh, nuh….

  17. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:03 pm, August 28th, 2008

    FIVE AND A HALF MINUTES, ALAN! FIVE AND A HALF MINUTES!!!!!!11!!!

  18. BigBrainOnBrad says at 3:06 pm, August 28th, 2008

    I hope none of the blood from old Bill Pembry’s corpse on the elevator roof dripped onto Hilz’ orange pantsuit.

  19. MoodProcessor says at 3:06 pm, August 28th, 2008

    If you want to break through that ceiling, you have to find the door and climb your ass out of it. Chelsea can learn from this incredibly ironic example. Truth is stranger….

  20. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 3:07 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Hillary wears pantsuits precisely for situations like this.

  21. BigBrainOnBrad says at 3:08 pm, August 28th, 2008

    On second thought I think it was JIM Pembry.

  22. JadedDIssonance says at 3:09 pm, August 28th, 2008

    JadedDIssonance: Oh wait…they didn’t die…

  23. MoodProcessor says at 3:10 pm, August 28th, 2008
  24. grendel says at 3:20 pm, August 28th, 2008

    MoodProcessor: It’s a good thing the Hilltards put 18 million scratches in that ceiling

  25. Manofsteel says at 3:21 pm, August 28th, 2008

    They forgot the part where, as the Clintons are rushed from the teetering elevator by the SWAT team, Hillary turns around and looks back and hopelessly yells “My shoe!” And then, of course, the part where Agent James Carville has a stand-off with Chris Matthews, who set the elevator trap for the Clintons, and Chris Matthews sets off an explosion that seemingly kills him, but only wounds his leg, so he can go on to rig a leftover Clinton campaign bus carrying Sandra Bullock and Beth Grant to explode if Clinton’s delegate count goes under 50 percent.

  26. grendel says at 3:31 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Manofsteel: Already did the obligatory Speed joke

  27. jagorev says at 3:42 pm, August 28th, 2008

    John McCain knows a thing or two about being stuck in small confined spaces, my friends.

  28. dingleberries says at 3:43 pm, August 28th, 2008

    I bet it’s the only time Bill and Hill have gone down together since the Carter years.

  29. The final humiliation.

    Also, since the Dems are a unified party now, why didn’t Barry magic the elevator unstuck with his Divine Juju? Oh, and pay Hils debts while he’s at it, possibly taking the pants suit size down a few notches for good measure.

    Perhaps this was an attempt by the mob to lean a bit on Hils to pay her debts.

  30. graceless says at 5:04 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Who else was in the elevator?

  31. smashtheduck says at 5:22 pm, August 28th, 2008

    The only way that could have been more awkward is if they’d been trapped with Hopey.

  32. wilmawonker says at 5:43 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Otis has it out for Bill…

  33. I Am Not Your Gary Busey says at 6:39 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Pics or it didn’t happen.

  34. bitchincamaro says at 7:03 pm, August 28th, 2008

    Bill couldn’t get it up? I call bullshit.
