GREAT MOMENTS IN JOURNALISM

  • JESUS FOX NEWS, COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY?: “Colin Powell showed off his hip-hop moves at an ‘Africa Rising’ celebration in London Tuesday, fueling speculation that the former secretary of state is about to endorse Barack Obama for president.” Well you can’t argue with that kind of logic!

  1. Today we are all hip-hop dancers.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 5:54 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Okay, that’s it. War with the whole world.

  3. InsidiousTuna says at 5:56 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I has a racial transcendence sad.

  4. JoeFannyPack says at 5:56 pm, October 15th, 2008

    That is so wrong.

  5. This is the best Colin Powell photo ever, though, so I at least give that to FOX.

  6. Btw, it seems I’ll be in DC on the evening of Oct. 27th, but not by choice. :p When it’s insanely THIS CLOSE TO AN ELECTION. But mine is not to reason why, mine is but to shoot some guy. Or something. WTF, can’t people vote without going to DC to do it?

  7. BillyClubb says at 5:58 pm, October 15th, 2008

    First it’s “LNS To Host ‘Black People’-Themed Party!” and now Colin Powell is bustin’ a move to support Obama. Funny how those Republicans are so fixated on black folks…

  8. tunamelt says at 5:58 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Two hours and I’m on the subway home and double-fisting Cabernet and Colt-45. Fuck all y’all bitches.

  9. tunamelt says at 5:59 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Dave J.: His face! It’s so… scrunched.

  10. El Bombastico says at 5:59 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Um… between this and LNS, do people think an Obama presidency means standing permission to be racist fuckwads for the next eight years? “Well, we have a black president, so racism is dead… so cue the watermelon jokes!”

  11. sarahconnor says at 6:00 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I am looking forward to Project Runway tonight! I hope Korto wins! How bout y’all?

  12. magic titty says at 6:00 pm, October 15th, 2008

    The comment-ers on Fox kept asking why they were having an African-American festival in London.
    And they wonder why everyone thinks they’re fucking retards.

  13. WagTehGod says at 6:01 pm, October 15th, 2008

    So if we have pictures of Bill Clinton dancing with the White Man’s Overbite does that mean he’s about to endorse McCain?

  14. Worlds End says at 6:01 pm, October 15th, 2008

    This is one of the reasons why i hate fox.

  15. tunamelt says at 6:02 pm, October 15th, 2008

    El Bombastico: The LNS thing is annoying because it’s not even a funny black joke. It’s Flava Flav. Fucking VH1 and their nineties nostalgia.

  16. Colin Powell can hip hop dance? We saw him try a Village People number and it was just sad.

  17. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 6:04 pm, October 15th, 2008

    My BFF, Barry, just texted me! Still asking for my zip code. Stalker.

  18. thejames says at 6:05 pm, October 15th, 2008

    tunamelt: At least they don’t have him doing the whiteboy overbite. That would be just too far to fall.

  19. El Bombastico says at 6:05 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Also, what the hell happened to Christina Aguilera?!?!

  20. Fox News…the Appalachian Emergency Room of news organizations.

  21. tunamelt says at 6:07 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Me too! If he has your zip code you get invited to a swanky party in your area.

  22. NoWireHangers says at 6:10 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Colin Powell flashed his grillz for the camera and practiced his gangsta lean with other black africans, Wednesday. Not seen, was baby mama Alma Johnson who was attending a fried chicken fundraiser for badonkadonk awareness. Powell’s skill at jungle-like monkey hump-dancing suggests that he is in fact “down” with OPP and DNC nominee Barack Obama. Who is black.

  23. Datsun510 says at 6:11 pm, October 15th, 2008

    So, when was doing his Village People embarassmnet was he preparing to endorse ll gay construction workers? I don’t remember how that turned out. I don’t know how much pull Powell’s endorsement brings anymore.

  24. Toomush Infermashun says at 6:11 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Aww, I wanna be black. It’s the new white…

  25. american mutt says at 6:11 pm, October 15th, 2008

    El Bombastico: you may be on to something, sadly.

  26. So, dancing with black guys automatically puts you in the tank???

    So, does that put this ass-clown in the tank for Obama?

    and what about these ass-clowns?

  27. In other news, Christopher Hitchens now smokes Kools.

  28. american mutt says at 6:31 pm, October 15th, 2008

    THIS JUST IN:

    Colin Powell spotted spilling apple sauce fueling signs for an upcoming McCain endorsement.

  29. Why can’t we assume that Powell’s gonna endorse McCain on account of his black baby?

  30. Lascauxcaveman says at 6:37 pm, October 15th, 2008

    No ones said it?

    “Dat Colin … he be gettin’ jiggy!”

  31. Gurth LongEye says at 6:40 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Toomush Infermashun: Yeah, me too. I mean not regular everybody-hates-me-and-i-aint-sure-why Black like I’m used to. I mean the happy, dancing, endearing Black like the lns and fox people like. That kind of Black sounds fun!

  32. Oxy Moron says at 6:45 pm, October 15th, 2008

    In other news, George W. Bush was seen tap-dancing at the White House, fueling speculation he is about to endorse Sammy Davis Jr. for president.

  33. Oh. My. God. They actually wrote that. With words. On a screen. What the fuck?

  34. Gurth LongEye: I’m Asian, but everybody hates me and I ain’t sure why. So do I get honorary black status?

  35. Doglessliberal says at 6:58 pm, October 15th, 2008

    jagorev: this year has been a series of incredibly transcendent, amazing moments when I think “holy SHIT, a black man is going to be president. This is making me giddy!” and stunning lows when I am once again reminded how disgustingly racist mainstream America is.

    But we will win and we will be celebrating (with chitlin’s and watermelon, yo!) on Jan 20 when the Muslin is sworn in.

  36. jagorev: They hate your sorry ass ’cause your type always throws off the curve!!

  37. MathewBrooks says at 7:15 pm, October 15th, 2008

    this is the most ridiculous piece of shit ever written. these asshats clearly have no concept of shame.

  38. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 7:19 pm, October 15th, 2008

    azw88: He already endorsed Bush, twice. Seriously though, McCain is probably the one Republican Powell would have the most in common with. If Powell endorse McCain, why was he a Republican in the first place?

  39. Rodney Badger says at 7:21 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I thought you were making that shit up, but it actually says that. He should endorse him because of that sub-head.

  40. MathewBrooks says at 7:25 pm, October 15th, 2008
  41. The Station Manager says at 7:28 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Jesus, the blatant racism and hatred in the comments knocked the snark right off my little typey fingers. Impressive!

  42. themightysea says at 7:40 pm, October 15th, 2008

    El Bombastico: I actually think that would be kindof funny, if republicans start to boycott watermelon and jazz and peanut butter instead of teh ghey McDonalds.

  43. Fox News can out Onion the Onion. How come I never hear what kind of dances Madeline Albright does when she makes statements?

  44. Scandalabra says at 7:52 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Liberace should mediate the fucking debate.

  45. heroinmule says at 7:55 pm, October 15th, 2008

    So this is the reason satire is dead. I thought it was simply that we’d become too base. How, may I ask you, might you parody this?

  46. Rodney Badger says at 7:58 pm, October 15th, 2008

    The Station Manager: Yeah, they are about what you would expect from commenters on Fox News. I kinda feel bad for them, between WorldNet, the Freep, and Fox, they don’t have much internet left.

  47. peterPerfect says at 8:35 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Colin Powell has to practice being black. WTF?

  48. Neon Trotsky says at 8:46 pm, October 15th, 2008

    But if a major political figure goes to Panama and dances some saucy salsa in the former Canal Zone, then we would know he/she was about to endorse WALNUTS…

  49. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 7:03 am, October 16th, 2008

    Well, you know those Negroes. When they get happy for each other, they tend to get jiggy.

    As opposed to white trash racist twatwaffles, who prefer to talk about each other’s starbursting smiles of ejaculatory splendor.
