Obama Announces Fancy Transition Donor Friends

by Juli Weiner  

  • Here is a list of Obama’s best friends and how much they each paid David Plouffe, per hour, for the privilege of performing sexual favors on the two of them. [Ben Smith]
  • Hindsight is 20/20, etc.: Americans warned Indians back in October that hotels in Mumbai would probably be attacked. [The Daily Beast]
  • Steve Schmidt, the David Axelrod of failure, has high hopes for castrating boy-wonder Bobby Jindal. [The Corner]
  • Al Franken is just 73 votes shy of beating Norm Coleman out to be the new Norm Coleman, though according to the former, there are votes that remain to be counted. [HuffPost]
  • Other members of the Alaskan Estates-General are wondering why Sarah Palin keeps avoiding doing anything she was elected to do. [Crooks and Liars]

Franken’s trailing by 73 votes, so he’s 100 votes shy of Nate Silver’s prediction of a win by 27, and the feature of Mr. Silver on the covers of Tiger Beat and Pizzazz magazines.

I have two Wacky Packs to trade for Nate Silver stickers. Any takers?

Maybe the change in Admins will restore some credibility to our intelligence agencies so other countries don’t react with a “yeah, right, warmongering, whoreson, imperialistic goat fuckers. You just want an excuse to send troops in and take over our country” every time we issue a notice or warning.

I offered to donate carrot cake and buttered noodles. They said they’d get back to me. If not, you guys can have it?

Wow. It truly is India’s 9/11 after all. If they stay true to our model, they will attack Pakistan, but before securing victory, will attack Myanmar to liberate it or something.

Since the attacks, American intelligence has been tracking the phones and SIM cards recovered from the Mumbai gunmen, which lead back to terrorist organizations in Pakistan and possible connections in the United States.

Any coincidence that nobody’s seen Karl Rove in the past week?

Obama’s donor list. Interesting. You see Hillary’s friends and not by looking at the New York money. I guess it’s not really that weird that Bronfman gave money to Obama. Wasn’t Bubba tapping his sis-in-law, Lisa Belzberg?

Other members of the Alaskan Estates-General are wondering why Sarah Palin keeps avoiding doing anything she was elected to do.

Wait’ll the sans-culottes get a hold of her. Reign of Terror, indeed.

Poor Bobby Jindal. He might as well retire from public life now before he faces the epic Fail awaiting anyone who is the “obvious next nominee, elected official, etc.” as declared four years before the, you know, actual election.

If the windswept prairie hellscape hadn’t transformed my hay fever into a new strain of the ebola virus, I’d come up with some names. As it is, I think I’ll go watch “Wall-E” several times more.

It’s just so cute, cute, cute. And my 25 year old leftist labor organizing daughter who insisted we watch over the holiday declared it to be a movie about the triumph of an anarchist commune over a totalitarian state. Plus, she assured us it would be “cute, cute, cute.”

So did Sarah bring any preggo minor children for Sexby to fondle?

You would think Alaskans are happy she is gone. And where is the new baby and when is the wedding? Is the RNC buying the wedding dress and baby clothing?

Unfortunately, the only Indians which American Intelligence warned about possible attacks in Mumbai were the Pequot.
Mistakes were made.

Dear Lord,
That aircraft containing Sarah Palin…HOT POTATO!

Aloysius December 1, 2008 at 5:34 pm

Clearly, Sarah is establishing that she has the chops to be President. Look at the laundry list of problems that Alaska faces; by the standards established by the current inhabitor of the Oval Office, she’s doing the same thing for Alaska that W did for the country. w00t! Palin for PILF in 2012!

CumaeanSibyl December 1, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Those Alaskan bastards, wanting to keep Palin all to themselves.

Borat December 1, 2008 at 6:05 pm

Hindsight 20/20. Yup. But how many imminent terrorist warnings are made and also never occur? Wasn’t the NY subway going to be attacked over Thanksgiving?

Well, I’m sure if it is ever attacked, at anypoint in the next 50 years, someone would have said this has been predicted.

Lascauxcaveman December 1, 2008 at 6:16 pm

[re=188452]Borat[/re]: My old GF whose dad messed up his knee snowskiing used to warn that it would happen to me too, because she was mad that I’d rather go skiing then spend a weekend doing nothing with her. It only took her 14 years of me in the moguls for her to be right.

P.T.T. December 1, 2008 at 6:42 pm

[re=188461]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Me ‘n the moguls have never been right. They keep making things like “Rocky VIII” and I keep puking.

Actually, if Sexby had Bristols to fondle he’d probably have a hard attack. It’s a good thing the only thing within grasp was so two-dimensional. So Sarah was right to not charge the campaign for all of her babies to come along and shop at Needless Markup on the party’s dime, er $100,000s.

WadISay December 1, 2008 at 8:36 pm

So Nate Silver might end up 100 votes off in a field of 2.9MM? That’s the last time I ever listen to that loser mutt.

graceless December 1, 2008 at 8:59 pm

Hey, it’s winter. If you had a choice, would you be in Alaska or Georgia in winter?
