FAME AND RICHES: Whoa hey what’s this, your male associate editor woke up in the SINGLE DIGIT HOURS of morning, an all-time first, to participate in his very first “Crappy Hour” on the ladies’ blog, Jezebel. The topic was, “politics.” [Jezebel]

    Gasoline fight!

  3. facehead says at 10:50 am, October 28th, 2008

    Woah, Jim … nice to take a stand and all but can’t you get fired for discouraging assplay?

  4. lampadadog says at 10:50 am, October 28th, 2008

    All your clothes are belong to us. They have no chance to survive make your time.

  5. masterdebater says at 10:51 am, October 28th, 2008

    They had a gun to your head?

  6. freakishlystrong says at 10:53 am, October 28th, 2008

    The .gif! Can’t stop giggling at the .gif!

  7. numbersix says at 10:53 am, October 28th, 2008

    Ahahahahahahaha, Jezebel! That’s cute, Jim.

    Did they make you carve a magical backwards vagina in your face to prove your loyalty before y’all posted? Because unless you’re talking about nonsense television or telling rape jokes, they won’t be sure you’re in with the “cause”.

  8. Serolf Divad:
    Agreed.

  9. Hairy Reed says at 10:55 am, October 28th, 2008

    Omg I love that gif.

  10. hockeymom says at 10:56 am, October 28th, 2008

    wait…when did Hillary get married to Biden?

  11. Oh, please. Like Michelle would let Hillary sit up front.

  12. freakishlystrong says at 10:57 am, October 28th, 2008

    Did you and Megan schtup after that? That seemed like a prelude to a schtuppin’…

  13. 4tehlulz says at 10:58 am, October 28th, 2008

    Thank god Firefox allows me to set animated gifs to “Run Once”

  14. Wait. I thought afternoon editor was prohibited from encroaching upon morning editor’s airtime. Foul.

  15. Sussemilch says at 10:58 am, October 28th, 2008

    Min: Obama’s cute, but Joe’s a better dancer.

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 11:01 am, October 28th, 2008

    I can’t wait for the “The Sarah Palin Center For Kids Who Can’t Thunk Good And Who Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good so they can ran for Vise Preznit Too”

  17. Well played, JimNewll, Well played… What were you doing up and working at that hour of the morning after being on chat at 3:30? Freak. Fuck, I was at work too. I hate you all. *cries*

  18. On a side note, I want a job where I can cut-n-paste my IM logs and get paid for it. That is all.

  19. Deepthroat says at 11:07 am, October 28th, 2008

    I could seriously stare at that gif ALL DAY LONG. Won’t someone please help me?

  20. Tommy Says Soooo says at 11:07 am, October 28th, 2008

    You know you never touch a black man’s radio.

  21. tunamelt says at 11:08 am, October 28th, 2008

    HOLY SHIT I LOVE THAT GIF.

  22. 3dollarbill says at 11:08 am, October 28th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: agreed

  23. whiteasasheet says at 11:10 am, October 28th, 2008

    Made that gif my wallpaper. Warning: Not recommended for epileptics!

  24. I’m film-nerd enough to recognize that scene from ‘New Jack City.’

  25. HuskyMescan says at 11:10 am, October 28th, 2008

    omfg, that gif rules.
    what are those? frappacinos? hahaha

  26. Sussemilch: Point taken.

  27. Worlds End says at 11:13 am, October 28th, 2008
  28. bitchincamaro says at 11:14 am, October 28th, 2008

    Who’re you jiving, Newell? We know it was Fleshbot who rang your bell.

  29. Gopherit says at 11:14 am, October 28th, 2008

    grendel: Not your IM blogs. You’d have to work for Fleshbot for that.

    The GIF must be used every day this week!

    And it’s nice to know, after looking at the comments, that the jezebel women are as humorless as they’ve ever been.

  30. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:15 am, October 28th, 2008

    Sussemilch: Meh. Michelle’s got them both beat, ‘cuz she’s doing the Funky Butt (with neck pop and all!).

  31. NICE ANIMATED GIF.

  32. 4tehlulz: Why would you want that .gif to run once? It’s like mainlining happiness.

  33. Deepthroat says at 11:16 am, October 28th, 2008

    HuskyMescan: Orange Mocha Frappacinos!!!

  34. Serolf Divad says at 11:16 am, October 28th, 2008

    Cause the .gif made you wanna watch this scene again.

  35. Gopherit says at 11:16 am, October 28th, 2008

    Orange Mocha Frappuccino’s for EVERYONE!

  36. HuskyMescan says at 11:17 am, October 28th, 2008

    Stein at Huffpo has a turtle head of an October surprise for McCain:

    News Orgs Investigate Possibly Fatal McCain ‘64 Car Crash

  37. Come here a minute says at 11:17 am, October 28th, 2008

    hockeymom: Joe Biden is helping Hillary plan the secret Clinton conspiracy government takeover of the Obama administration — I saw the story at breitbart.tv.

  38. HuskyMescan says at 11:18 am, October 28th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Biden doing circa 89-90 cabbage patch. Not so freshhhhh.

  39. Deepthroat says at 11:18 am, October 28th, 2008

    is it just me, or is there something canine-ish about Hillary up there?

  40. bitchincamaro says at 11:19 am, October 28th, 2008

    It’s perfect with “Singalong” by Treva Whateva.

  41. Funny gif. but I don’t think Hillary is nearly that happy these days.

  42. Gopherit: I’m not nearly so graphic with non-Wonketteers…

  43. HuskyMescan says at 11:20 am, October 28th, 2008

    HuskyMescan: well, not that it matters at this point. It seems the entire month of October has been one giant clusterfuck for abuelo loco and the republicanos.

  44. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 11:20 am, October 28th, 2008

    Jim, you really shouldn’t be encouraging the weaker sex to be bothering their pretty little heads about politics when they could be making me breakfast after the morning insemination.

    Whoops, you’re probably not reading this here. I should re-post it at Jezebel.

  45. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 11:23 am, October 28th, 2008

    This gif might replace my old favorite.

  46. Deepthroat says at 11:23 am, October 28th, 2008

    Re:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/28/news-orgs-investigate-pos_n_138449.html

    Death by automobile seems to be the official politician’s choice in off-ings…

  47. Gopherit: The Jezebel commenters are the worst. I decided to stop paying attention to them after I watched them attack a writer for being “intolerant” because the writer said something about Amish people removing themselves from 21st century society.

  48. Deepthroat says at 11:25 am, October 28th, 2008

    Deepthroat: At a close number two: death by Snu Snu

  49. Worlds:

    “Misrule” is such a great word.

  50. Tommy Says Soooo says at 11:28 am, October 28th, 2008

    I think Jim has taken a break for some manscaping and shoe shopping.

  51. Worlds End says at 11:29 am, October 28th, 2008

    Deepthroat: Interesting.

  52. Worlds End says at 11:29 am, October 28th, 2008

    Deepthroat: We all want death by SNU SNU

  53. Better than Wham!’s version of that song is Chris Griffin’s.

  54. Tommy Says Soooo says at 11:32 am, October 28th, 2008

    I don’t give a f***, this should be a breaking story, but I’m lazy so here it is: Charles Barkley says he is running for Governor of Alabama in 2014 at

    http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/10/28/charles-barkley-for-alabama-governor-in-2014/

    Here’s the money quote:

    NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley said he’s going to run for governor in Alabama.

    “I plan on it in 2014,” Barkley told CNN’s Campbell Brown on Monday.

    When asked if he was serious, the former Philadelphia 76er said, “I am, I can’t screw up Alabama.”

    He added that his native state could only improve. “We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren’t going anywhere,” Barkley said.

  55. The Neoskeptic says at 11:34 am, October 28th, 2008

    that GIF needs more assfucking

  56. bitchincamaro says at 11:38 am, October 28th, 2008

    HuskyMescan: Seems there’s always a CRASH involved at defining moments in the Walnut’s history. About to be another one.

  57. Itsjustme says at 11:39 am, October 28th, 2008

    This GIF took me to my happy place. Well, until I realized Hopey is NOT wearing a seatbelt!

  58. King of Pants says at 11:39 am, October 28th, 2008

    Origami: It’s totally sexist to point out that Jezebel commenters, regardless of sex and gender, are some of the dumbest people alive.

  59. facehead says at 11:41 am, October 28th, 2008

    Tommy Says Soooo: I have no witty response, reality trumps comedy once again.

    CURSE YOU REALITY!!!

  60. magic titty says at 11:44 am, October 28th, 2008

    Deepthroat: Why don’t they wait till after the election to investigate these stories. Why feed the ‘librul media bias’ continuum seven days out?

    Amateur hour again, over at HuffPo.

  61. facehead says at 11:44 am, October 28th, 2008

    Tommy Says Soooo: The only way it would have been better is if he played for the Dallas Mavericks.

  62. Jim, before I start hating on Christopher Buckley, I am confused, is the child his or WFB? And did you say you’re not voting. Dude, that’s just wrong. In this election every vote counts - even if your not from an important state (battleground) we need the popular vote - we want Hopey winning by a large margin.

  63. Dreamer: Are you a Jezebel commenter? For shame…

  64. Tommy Says Soooo: Does anyone even comprehend Charles Barkley – he is worse than Palin. Maybe the two of them should run together in 2012.

  65. Why did I read that whole thing???

  66. JimNewell says at 11:53 am, October 28th, 2008

    Dreamer: “We,” paleface? I would of course write in Cheney if I voted.

  67. fuckinredneck says at 11:54 am, October 28th, 2008

    That gif!!! The only way that Walnuts can win now is if Hillary and Hopey lose a gasoline fight to each other.

  68. Origami: Wouldn’t the Amish themselves be the first to tell you that they are removing themselves from 21st (and 20th, and 19th) century society?

  69. grendel: My first visit to that site – I didn’t even know they existed. I am on so much medications it is dulling my senses.

  70. bitchincamaro says at 11:56 am, October 28th, 2008

    jinmoom: Me too. Now I’m contact PMS-ing.

  71. Come here a minute says at 11:57 am, October 28th, 2008

    Dreamer: Barkley is way more smarter than Palin. Sir Charles has the sense to run for chief executive of something he, in his own words, “can’t screw up”. Palin is running for VP of the United States for god’s sake! What? Oh, right.

  72. somelegalbitch says at 11:59 am, October 28th, 2008

    You cannot trick me into visiting Jezebel.

  73. Jim Newell: In that case I’ll write in Jim Newell! See how easily you can corrupt a politically novice!

  74. Deepthroat says at 12:07 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Dave J.: Win

    The Amish are sexist

  75. somelegalbitch: I am in the tank for Jim; I visit wherever he directs me - except Drudge.

  76. Come here a minute: He mumbles. A big no no for a politician.

  77. Dave J.: Yes. Hence why I found their indignation absurd. Hehe, I’m talking like a fancy Martini-swilling Republican!

  78. Iggy Plop says at 12:23 pm, October 28th, 2008

    proper respect must also be paid to the b3ta metalhead kittens .gif on the jezebel page.

  79. pondscum says at 12:24 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Gopherit: Oh, please. It’s gotta be gin-n-juice.

  80. ColdCupofHope says at 12:26 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Tommy Says Soooo: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU.

  81. Oh hell to the no says at 12:27 pm, October 28th, 2008

    King of Pants: I like to call many of them some of the most enlightened idiots on the internet. My favorite memory on Jezebel was a comment on a post about a father and daughter living together and having a baby. One person actually suggested that we should judge them because some of our sexual practices seem disgusting to other cultures. O RLY? I’m not sure of a culture father-daughter incest is okay in. Quite frankly I’m surprised they let the very UN-PC Newell onto the site. Color me impressed/amused!

  82. Tommy Says Soooo: oh fuck yeah! Not long ago Charles explained his hatred of the religious right, saying that they are a bunch of fake Christians minding everybody else’s business. A (the?) perk of living in Tennessee is that I will have a front row seat for this joyously entertaining campaign.

  83. King of Pants says at 12:49 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Oh hell to the no: So many memorized facts, so many constructed stances, so little actual brainpower.

  84. Obamaton says at 12:52 pm, October 28th, 2008

    That gif is the first smile I have had in a week.

  85. Tommy Says Soooo: FUCK YOU BARKLEY! AZ is ahead of ‘Bama in everything but college football and it should stay that way!! (though I would like to see us improve in college fb down here in Tucson, fuck ASU). You ALMOST got the Suns a title a while back, ALMOST that is. I say you still owe the folks here in the grand canyon state something, and leaving Alabama as on of the few states more fucked up politically (thanks to right wing wackos in the legislature that make McCain look like Nancy Pelosi) than AZ!

  86. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:06 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Holy mother of gawd. Do you ever sleep? What have internet traditions done?

  87. slithytoves says at 1:10 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Why is Obama wearing a Star Trek uniform in that gif?

  88. Make a McCain gif!

  89. Cut or replace the first several frames. Too much shadow on Obama’s face there.

  90. Lemming Caution says at 1:29 pm, October 28th, 2008

    azw88: he didn’t say anything about Arizona…?

    It’s okay - I realize that this must be a very defensive time to be an Arizonan.

  91. JimNewell says at 1:52 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Obamaton: GOD THAT IS SO DEPRESSING

  92. Obamaton says at 2:21 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Jim Newell: You are telling me? Shoot me an email and I will tell you why Jim. You might find it interesting.

  93. OffTheRecord says at 2:29 pm, October 28th, 2008

    I could stare at that .gif all day. In fact that is basically what I have been doing for at least three hours. My job is sad.

  94. Sarah Palin (vp@whitehouse.gov) says at 2:35 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Even I am simply transfixed by this gif

  95. OffTheRecord says at 2:38 pm, October 28th, 2008

    OffTheRecord: And I just read the crappy hour (I was busy with the .gif, okay?) Mike Duncan looks like every single old man from Kentucky ever. They all look just alike once they turn 50. It is abnormal.

  96. TinyTheToga says at 2:54 pm, October 28th, 2008

    Jim will deny Obama the mandate that 144% of the DC vote would have given him :(

  97. The only thing better than staring mindlessly at this GIF is playing WHAM!’s Wake Me Up Before You Go Go in the background.

  98. Feels like a Coolio video around here.

  99. problemwithcaring says at 8:04 pm, October 28th, 2008

    In the name of archival purposes, I just wanted to shout out the homeboy schmiss, the Random Dude On Teh Internetz over @ ONTD, who is responsible for this gift of a gif.

    I will shut up now.

  100. What the fo’ is in those drinks in the photo (and how do I get some, legally or illegally). If thats black muslin power, I want some.

  101. Jezebel? Please don’t turn to the dark side. Did you know they hate truck nutz?
