    So much of Chris Rocks first two stand-up specials predicted this campaign.

  2. DarkSynergy says at 2:36 pm, November 4th, 2008

    I love the red leather suit!

  3. Most white supremacists have delusions of competence and are being closely monitored by the FBI and ATF. That said, I do expect a few “well-organized” attempts on Barry’s life that will end in ignominous failure and martyrdom in the bitter community.

  4. StephanieInCA says at 2:37 pm, November 4th, 2008

    OMG, where have I seen that outfit before? Wait… YES! http://urbzen.com/2008/10/21/now-in-moose-blood-red/

    I wonder if Eddie “borrowed” it from the RNC?

  5. Hairy Reed says at 2:37 pm, November 4th, 2008

    I’d be a lot more amused by this if it didn’t raise some of my own fears.

  6. ManchuCandidate says at 2:38 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Then Eddie Murphy blew it by singing “Party All the Time” and morphed into a CGI donkey.

  7. mattbolt says at 2:39 pm, November 4th, 2008

    So exactly when will it sink in that tomorrow, America will have elected a GODDAMN BLACK PRESIDENT HOLY SHIT

  8. Theta: Delusions of competence, yes. That and a crippling addiction to meth.

  9. What’s up with his pants (crotch). Also, that’s really scary.

  10. Serolf Divad says at 2:40 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Oh, God I feel old now.

  11. mattbolt says at 2:41 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Call up the Vatican and buy a spare Popemobile, I want Barry’s ass riding around in a bulletproof bubble at all times.

    We can even call it the Hopemobile!

  12. norbizness says at 2:44 pm, November 4th, 2008

    “Hey! I’ve got this project coming up called The Golden Child? Should I take it?”

  13. I bet absolutely no one thought that red suit would stand the test of time, and yet . . . it works. Obama should consider it for the Inaugural.

  14. NoWireHangers says at 2:45 pm, November 4th, 2008

    My Prez wants to party all the time

    Party all the time
    party all the time.
    My Prez wants to party all the time
    party all the time!

  15. mattbolt says at 2:47 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Barry should call up P Diddy and get some rapper-level security. I mean, sure, Presidents have the occasional wingnut or Jodie Foster fan take a half-assed potshot at them, but rappers have entire gangs of heavily-armed people trying to take them out every day. Think of how many people were gunning for Puffy’s head after everything with Tupac and Biggie, and the bastard still got out of the 90s alive. Now THAT’S a security detail.

  16. Gopherit says at 2:48 pm, November 4th, 2008

    DarkSynergy: So did Palin.

  17. FreshCliches says at 2:48 pm, November 4th, 2008

    LOVE this concert; too bad Luther Vandross, or better yet, James Brown aren’t around any more to sing the National Anthem at the inaugural.

    That’s the best I’ve got, since all you bastards beat me to the red leather/Palin references.

  18. hockeymom says at 2:49 pm, November 4th, 2008

    What’s the story with that weird belt thing? I don’t remember that ever being in style.

  19. mattbolt: True dat. Not to mention most of the Secret Service detail live in Woodbridge and live and breath right wing read meat. If I’m Obama, I’d sure want to hand pick my team.

  20. Itsjustme says at 2:50 pm, November 4th, 2008

    CNN — Tucker Bounds!

  21. capt. tim says at 2:51 pm, November 4th, 2008

    and now days you can’t get him to appear in a movie unless he gets to wear a fat suit.

  22. Let’s all just enjoy the imminent victory. We’ll have the next 4 years of anxiety drugs to deal with redneck menace.

  23. Off-topic, but I just watched McCain end a rally with “Here I Go” from WHITESNAKE blaring over the loudspeakers.

    I’ve done my share of advance work, but this choice of song is rather puzzling. He’s just asked all of us to stand together with him and fight, and then here he goes again…on his own?

    I guess he’s going down the only road he’s over known? Like a drifter, he was born to walk alone? He knows what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams?

    Or maybe it’s a subtle reminder that he holds the only white snake in the race?

    Is this over yet? Just what I needed: Tawny Kitaen flashbacks.

  24. StephanieInCA says at 2:55 pm, November 4th, 2008

    mattbolt: Agree completely. That’s why I’ve been pushing this whole time for Barry to make his public appearances enclosed in a giant, bulletproof hamster ball: http://urbzen.com/2008/10/28/secret-service-obama-to-campaign-in-giant-bulletproof-hamster-ball/

  25. OK listen I cried real tears when I voted for Obama today–the election workers were like what’s wrong–cause I as black man never thought I’d live to see this day. Sorry no snark is available from me but feel free to carry on babies!

  26. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:55 pm, November 4th, 2008

    …don’t worry everyone Axel Foley is on the case!

  27. AngryBlakGuy: And damn I’m gonna nominate you for an f’in Nobel Prize for your role in all this ABG!

  28. AngryBlakGuy: …or Ashley Todd

  29. AngryBlakGuy: On a more practical and somber note: Why do all your comments begin with an ellipsis?

  30. SuperRounder says at 3:04 pm, November 4th, 2008

    No Denny Terrio in this story? BOOOO!!!!

  31. PopeyesPipe says at 3:05 pm, November 4th, 2008

    I just love that Joe Piscopo!

  32. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:06 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Monkey: …the “ellipsis” signify me rousing from a alcohol induced stupor to add my 2 cents to any conversation. Now someone please make the room stop spinning.

  33. The Station Manager says at 3:07 pm, November 4th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: I was thinking of “Boogie In Your Butt”.
    Put the ballot, in your butt and so forth.

    Also, apparently some fucking morons out there are running around polling places with plungers in honor of some Joe guy who is not, in fact, a plummer: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/politics&id=6486676&rss=rss-ktrk-article-6486676

  34. The Station Manager: Probably the last thing in the world I’d accept from a Republican would be a toilet plunger he pulled out of the trunk of his car and handed to me.

  35. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:09 pm, November 4th, 2008

    …”Pope-Mobiles” are so passe, we need to get him something like a Gundam or Battle-Mech or maybe even a AT-AT Walker?! If anyone needs me I will be in my mothers basement playing WoW, IM me if you need me.

  36. fuckinredneck says at 3:10 pm, November 4th, 2008

    mattbolt: I agree. In fact, I wonder why more secret service guys aren’t gigantic black men. You’d think that a giant man would be a much better bullet shield than the regular sized dudes they have on guard.

  37. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:12 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Ah, back when Eddie Murphy was funny. One of the advantages of having an insane white guy as President.
    Serolf Divad:

    You want to feel old, last weekend Joe Piscopo was Fox, and he looks like he should be on the beech in Florida with a metal detector. And then he started talking about his grown children….

  38. problemwithcaring says at 3:12 pm, November 4th, 2008

    See - and people tried to hint things about Barry’s sexuality because he is always at the gym with his BFF. I think this proves he’s not gay, he just likes butt-sex in the sauna. Wait, wha-?

  39. Arturo Bandini says at 3:12 pm, November 4th, 2008

    The red suit stands the test of time much better than the purple one from “Raw.”

  40. nuckingfutz says at 3:14 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Gob: Word.

  41. Robbertjan says at 3:15 pm, November 4th, 2008

    well don’t ant to get all sentimental and stuff but:

    Rosa Parks sat, so Martin Luther King Jr. could march, so Barack Obama can run, so our children can fly.

  42. The Station Manager says at 3:16 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Dave J.: I’m sure there’s some way to have them locked up for sexual harassment or something.

  43. JohnnyMeatworth says at 3:18 pm, November 4th, 2008

    FreshCliches: that’s all right, there’s still “Chocolate City” by Parliament.

    ‘Cause I love you, C.C.

  44. whatever_dc says at 3:18 pm, November 4th, 2008

    The Station Manager: that was rich! and of course river oaks is where all teh rich peoples in houston live! notice that every fucking car in that piece was a monster SUV??? driving in houston in a smallish car is taking your life into your own hands!

    one of the right wing radio talk show comedians (they’ve all morphed together so i don’t remember which one right now) is trying to drum up support for a million plumber march on washington. i can’t wait — a million butt cracks showing all together on the national mall!

  45. Violenza says at 3:24 pm, November 4th, 2008

    denner: Where’s Michael Kors when ya need him?

  46. yellowbug says at 3:24 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Robbertjan: That’s a great line. No snark.

  47. sansabelt says at 3:27 pm, November 4th, 2008

    Is he wearing one of his balls on the outside of his pants?

  48. FreshCliches says at 3:32 pm, November 4th, 2008

    JohnnyMeatworth: Go ahead - MAKE my funk the P-Funk!

  49. seriesoftubescleaner says at 3:33 pm, November 4th, 2008

    yellowbug: Yeah, it was great the first time I heard it when Jay-Z said it.
    “WHAT MORE CAN I SAY!”

  50. Robbertjan says at 3:43 pm, November 4th, 2008

    yellowbug: and there is so much truth in it.

  51. Robbertjan says at 3:48 pm, November 4th, 2008

    seriesoftubescleaner: it’s a Jay-Z line? hehe, I just heard it on CNN said by a afro-american priest.

    Jay-Z FTW!

  52. Oh hell to the no says at 3:50 pm, November 4th, 2008

    fuckinredneck: Because they don’t want to get themselves killed for some white dude who doesn’t give a fuck about them? Oh, did I say that out loud? Yes. Yes, I did.

  53. sarahconnor says at 4:00 pm, November 4th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Heh, AT-AT… but that may be too “dark side”… I think Hopey would look good in an X-Wing or landspeeder myselfs…

  54. greatgooglymoogly says at 4:30 pm, November 4th, 2008

    serj!:

    “May God bless and keep you always,
    May your wishes all come true,
    May you always do for others
    And let others do for you.
    May you build a ladder to the stars
    And climb on every rung,
    May you stay forever young.”

    And may this long held wish come true …

  55. greatgooglymoogly: word bitch–oh and no offense intended

  56. Revmachine21 says at 3:44 am, November 5th, 2008

    Eddie Murphy has some seriously small feet… we all know what that means.
