John Boehner’s Offices Attacked By Bacon

by Sara K. Smith  1:46 pm October 7, 2008

The pink menaceOnce upon a time there was a congressman named John Boehner, and everybody made fun of him because his name looked like “boner.” And then day somebody sent one of his local offices a Mysterious Package, which was leaking an Oily Substance, and everybody panicked because of the Terrorists. But! Turns out it was just bacon in the package: the sly prankster’s symbol for pork-barrel spending, or maybe how John Boner’s “package” is always “leaking oily substances.” [WLWT Cincinnati]

…damn it, I know there is a pigs in a blanket or wrapping bacon around your boner joke in here somewhere!

What? More Pork? JEEBUS can’t this guy get enough?

echoroc October 7, 2008 at 1:50 pm

oh god that’s gay

TJBeck October 7, 2008 at 1:50 pm

Either that, or it’s a longer term biological warfare tactic to kill politicians through blood clots and heart attacks by having them eat delicious bacon every day.

In that case: DEAR TERRRIST FUCK YOU (please send delicious bacon)

AngryBlakGuy October 7, 2008 at 1:51 pm

…no one likes a greasy Boehner!

tennessee Jed clampett October 7, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Magoo ditched letterman and flew straight to dc to put an end to those awful earmarks. the end.

Every dog’s dream: Mailman delivering a box of bacon.

SayItWithWookies October 7, 2008 at 1:53 pm

Hey, if people can afford to send food through the mail as a taunt, that must mean the economy is getting better. The bailout’s working! Yaaaay! Can I has foods now? Plz?

Hamster October 7, 2008 at 1:55 pm

Ahh the old Bacon Mailbomb, classic, especially useful to taunt your kosher vegan ex-girlfriend.

TJBeck October 7, 2008 at 1:55 pm

No injuries were reported, and the incident remains under investigation. A note found in the package with the bacon was not disclosed by authorities.

A couple problems there:

1. Is there any possible way anyone could have been hurt in this incident? Why include that line in the report?

2. What is there to investigate? A guy sent bacon. End of story. Is this really going to be prosecuted as someone trying to terrorize John Boner?

3. OK, which ever Georgia wonkette commenter sent this, please post the contents of the note in this thread. The public must see your manifesto.

freakishlystrong October 7, 2008 at 1:56 pm

Sarah, welcome back, your mad skillz at the snark were missed, but I beg you; please never write this “or maybe how John Boner’s “package” is always “leaking oily substances.” again.

Thanks,

Bacon is the gateway drug of meat.

The Rev. Yevot October 7, 2008 at 1:57 pm

[re=123608]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: And we have a wiener!

El Bombastico October 7, 2008 at 1:57 pm

I think this means Boehner is a secret Muslim. I mean Muslin.

Tommy Says Soooo October 7, 2008 at 1:58 pm

Bacon is the white man’s leggings.

Kev-O-Tron October 7, 2008 at 1:58 pm

This is all wrong. Boehner simply subscribed to the new “meat of the month” club. He’ll be receiving the peppered salami in November.

tunamelt October 7, 2008 at 1:58 pm

All this does is make me want a BLTA.

[re=123619]Hamster[/re]: Soon, they’ll be sending standar issue Zappa Pork Grenades.

Chicken Smack October 7, 2008 at 1:59 pm

slow news day. we’re hearing about JOE SIX PAC, light-up nuts, and the bacon bomb. Is there a traffic accident we can cover or something?

Hamster October 7, 2008 at 2:00 pm

He should have just eaten the bacon, then shit in the box, and include a note explaining what the shit is made of. So much more affective.

shortsshortsshorts October 7, 2008 at 2:00 pm

[re=123630]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: You’re talking about the Weekly Standard again, aren’t you?

Bypartizoa October 7, 2008 at 2:01 pm

Pork. It’s the other white meat.

tunamelt October 7, 2008 at 2:01 pm

[re=123630]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: The reason he was so confused was because he thought he had signed up for the Man Meat of the Month club—a gigolo delivery service.

Obviously bacon is not the same thing as a sinewy, oiled-up man, wearing nothing but a banana hammock.

The Rev. Yevot October 7, 2008 at 2:02 pm

[re=123631]tunamelt[/re]: Don’t you mean BLTGA?

Tommy Says Soooo October 7, 2008 at 2:02 pm

[re=123637]Hamster[/re]: What are you trying to get Georgetown student interns all sick again after they swore off the buttsecks?

GDTRFB October 7, 2008 at 2:03 pm

I think this is part of Boehner’s new Stimulus Package. Free Fatty Meat is exactly what America expects from our government

Hamster October 7, 2008 at 2:03 pm

[re=123637]Hamster[/re]: sorry, that’s effective. …and tasty I might add.

jinmoom October 7, 2008 at 2:04 pm

John Boner. Heh. Heh.

Gopherit v2.0 October 7, 2008 at 2:07 pm

[re=123641]tunamelt[/re]: Is there something you want to tell us, tuna? That description seemed almost too well crafted.

Kev-O-Tron October 7, 2008 at 2:07 pm

In other news, several young congressional staff members have contracted salmonella poisoning from John Boehner’s penis. Developing- video at 11.

This was an attempted terrorist attack! Te bacon was meant for Tailgunner Joe

[re=123643]The Rev. Yevot[/re]: Ooooh, what is this G?

[re=123644]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Dude, there is some Patient Zero who is traveling between Georgetown and USC who carried that virus because like 300 USC students have that disease, also.

tunamelt October 7, 2008 at 2:12 pm

[re=123653]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: What? No. Never.

Tommy Says Soooo October 7, 2008 at 2:14 pm

[re=123665]tunamelt[/re]: Wow, that gives Pac 10 a whole new meaning.

Cape Clod October 7, 2008 at 2:15 pm

[re=123622]freakishlystrong[/re]: I will second that. I’m trying to abstain from drinking but that image is just begging to be rinsed away in a vodka bath.

shortsshortsshorts October 7, 2008 at 2:19 pm

[re=123641]tunamelt[/re]: Wonkette is no place to be talking about such things, you cretin.

The Rev. Yevot October 7, 2008 at 2:19 pm

[re=123665]tunamelt[/re]: Well, since we’re talking about a Republican poltician, I guess it really should be a little “g” in parentheses. And a closet. In the men’s room at an airport. (Sorry, thought you were punning on the LGBTA, but then I remembered that in Boehner’s Fly-over state, they don’t like teh gayz to be out in the open, so I probably missed the point of your reference.)

Fear of a Black Reagan October 7, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Think that’s clever? I’m gonna find a severed human ear (don’t ask; there are ways) and draw all over it with crayons… BECAUSE OF EARMARKS!!!

Godot October 7, 2008 at 2:21 pm

So is that picture of Piglet being used because Piglet = pork = bacon, or because of the shy and embarrassed way he’s trying to hide his Boehner?

Gopherit v2.0 October 7, 2008 at 2:21 pm

[re=123683]Cape Clod[/re]: As every good wonketteer know, some things once seen can never be unseen. That includes mental images. Just stuff it in the happy place, because no amount of vodka will make that go away.

rev_matt_y October 7, 2008 at 2:22 pm

There is a very real possibility someone could have been hurt. If it wasn’t packaged properly and someone were to eat it, they could get some serious food poisoning.

shortsshortsshorts October 7, 2008 at 2:24 pm

[re=123709]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: I believe it was PeteJayHawk who made that comment back when Hillary was still with us. Gawd bless that meme.

Cape Clod October 7, 2008 at 2:29 pm

[re=123709]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Well, there goes my lame excuse for drinking vodka on a Tuesday.

Texan Bulldoggette October 7, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Maybe he can ship it to me. We may need all the free food we can get in the upcoming months.

TGY October 7, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Spam trumps bacon as pork. Plus, you can ‘craft’ with it.

The Unfairman October 7, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Do you know who else would complain about receiving delicious bacon?

Terrorists.

That’s right, I said it.

Gopherit v2.0 October 7, 2008 at 2:39 pm

[re=123738]TGY[/re]: That sounds like a new wonkette contest to me.

nosnikreplliw October 7, 2008 at 2:39 pm

boner got porked

azw88 October 7, 2008 at 2:43 pm

[re=123637]Hamster[/re]: Don’t you think the man has shat upon the American public enough without having him resort to doing it via return mail??

Sassette October 7, 2008 at 2:44 pm

I hope he didn’t throw it away. We’re going to want that bacon pretty soon for wrapping around grilled squirrels.

pondscum October 7, 2008 at 2:45 pm

[re=123631]tunamelt[/re]: It would appear you are still hungry…in more ways than one.

WhatTheHeck October 7, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Yes, it’s true. Mooselems won’t be using pig in a terrorist message.
However, they might go for a dingbat caribou breast and thigh package… if they’re into stringy, gamey meat.

Miller October 7, 2008 at 3:00 pm

This could be an ironic attempt to kill him slowly with high cholesterol and fatty foods. Lindsay Graham will eat absolutely any food you send him.

sailingthestyx October 7, 2008 at 3:51 pm

In Ohio, if you have a name that even vaguely resembles “boner”, growing up, your ass is kicked every single day; which pretty much describes all the pricks in the Republican party…

Poindextrous October 7, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Speaking of Bacon, CO State Rep Bob Bacon is facing challenger Matt Fries on the ballot this year.

thank god i’m not voting in that race; every time I tried to do a little research I’d be so hungry.

“Boehner” When two vowels go a walking the first does the talking. I’m just saying

No animals were harmed in the making of this prank. Oh, wait…

Paulitik October 7, 2008 at 6:15 pm

If terrorism involves the use of Bacon, then sign me up! MMMMMM! Bacon! Best terror plot ever.
